so glad you liked it :-)

if you download something like audio hijack you'll be able to capture the audio from this clip and save it as an mp3 :-)

This is a beautiful rendition of a song that is comforting to many. Does he have any cd's with this song recorded?

Kate, Thanks for responding. Did you ever receive my first comment?! It didn't post, and I wondered why. Maybe it was too personal or I did it incorrectly. This song was amazing for me because I once had a son named Conor.

Hi Denise - no, I didn't get your first comment. Very sad to hear about your son. I had my own connection to the song too. It's a lovely performance.

@padraic2001eire You might want to listen to Libera's version (it was arranged by Prizeman). I think that a part of this version was based on Libera's. :)

I recited this poem at my grandmothers funeral. I could barely make it to the end before my voice broke with tears. Thank you for giving us this poem put to music. It is beautiful and I know my grandmother would have loved it so much.

Beautiful haunting rendition of this song...........my mom recently pasted and I would like to dedicate this song to her. This version had me balling when I first heard it I also can not stop listening to this version simply amazing, I to would like there to be a single that I can buy of Conor O Brian's version.

[HotBlueLightning]

aaaaand most likely he got laid that night

[mrjotz]

@mnsnuttin If you haven't heard by now, he now performs under the name Villagers, and he's got an album out called "Becoming a Jackal", which is astoundingly good.

[padraic2001eire]

Is this an original interpretation or did Conor O'Brien base it on an existing version?
