I heard this for the first time about 2O years ago. Its haunting melody has stayed in my soul since then. It is a lament for the souls lost during battle.
-
I am a McCrimmon.This song does something to me!!!!!
-
Glorious stuff; up there with the Corries' Waly Waly.
-
@Rakkyosai It's on their cd "don't hold your breath" And I agree. Very VERY good version.
-
Wow, I had to do some digging for this. The album version is on
THE 7 AGES OF WOMAN
Original Release Date: 1983
Now to find a NOS or good shape used one.

But she's back to traditional/celtic/folk music now and better than ever! Her current work with producer Troy Donockley is the best of her long career.
Few artists have done more than Dickson to introduce and enthuse mainstream audiences to traditional music. She is a true star!
-
This voice has always been as honey to my ears! After forty years I still love it and long may the pleasure continue.
-
@pipernonie Still only available on two LPs (and tapes maybe), Here We Go and Heartbeats and no, this isn't the full song. There have been more collections and best ofs than you can shake a stick at, but most of the tracks are the same and this one never makes it on for some reason.

Well she was a Mod Gold Medal winner in her time - they just don't come any better. Why she dumped the Gaelic tradition in favour of pop music is bafling.
-
A band called MacUmba covered this, the woman who sings it for them is phenomenal - damned if i can find a version of it anywhere though... :P

This was the song that convinced lots of people that Barbara Dickson's glorious voice was wasted on most of the pop music she was recording in the 1980s

what CD is this on & is this the full version? Why sing pop when you can create magic like this...this he most beautiful rendition of anything I've ever heard.
