This song so incredibly sad, especially when you consider Ireland's history and the migration to America. The last stanza of this song is:
I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love.
I heard the blackbird and the linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean.
I think sorrow is such an important part of Irish culture (especially music). Ironic, considering I read a study a while ago that said Ireland has the lowest depression rates in the country.

This brought a tear to my eye. For good reason it sings to my Celtic roots deep in my ancestry. These songs give me chills.

I would like to see Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh sleeping with a charming young maid in her arms :) Sorry if you do not like the joke, in my culture solist singing a "wrong gender" song is very uncommon. But it is soo beautiful.

The lady is everything I'm not. Young, female, beautiful, plays violin, and sings like an angel.
Where did I go wrong ?
