@IFknHateUTube Fuck off you troll, why search for a gaelic song if you dont want to listen to it

@GrainneMhaol Can i just say aswell that depending on the region its being sung in depends on the amount of ornamentation (Wailing). So maybe if you heard it sung in a different region you may like it. But i would certainly say to have a listen to Seán Ó Riada's version which he wrote for an irish film in '59 called "Mise Éire"

Stunning. I am smitten and tearful and homesick all at once. Thanks to GrainneMhaol for sharing this lovely woman's amazing rendition of this great song. It is art of transcendent quality and luminosity.

@craigshort123 It's from her album 'Caitlín', if you google it, you should be able to order it from a few places.

Did not enjoy. Am learning the language for the fiance, and we both agree, and I'm a eastern european wailer! and he's irish! anyway, even if necessary for this song, her wailing makes it ugly. If she didn't wail so much, it'd be lovely.

@UbiquitousUnicycle The 'wailing' is an integral part of the sean-nós tradition. Perhaps when you've learned a little bit more about this style of music, you might appreciate it more.

@GrainneMhaol I didnt have to learn anything about the style to appreciate it. It's like byzantine chant: you either love it or hate it, I think. To me, it is one of the most beautiful singing styles that exist; alongside Byzantine chant, Georgian chant, and 2-part Znamenny chant.

@EverythingZen14 The more I learned about sean-nós singing, the more I grew to love it. Not all of it sounds as sweet as this - some of it is nasal and 'rough' sounding, but as I learned the songs and the rules of sean-nós, I began to understand it more and gained a greater love for it. That is why I think it is wrong to dismiss it because of the so-called 'wailing'.
