  • Beautiful... breathlessly beautiful.

  • To those discussing the place location where the song takes place. It's an Irish folk song and takes place in Ireland. And Salmon's Leap is an Irish group. Just to clarify things;)

  • Enjoy this very much....great video and a wonderful voice. Congratulation! Jim

  • To those wondering about the origins of the song; it is indeed Irish in origin and many old versions specific "there is a man in Galway town will make your heart content".

  • LOWLANDS OF HOLLAND The night that I was married And lay in marriage bed Up came a bold sea captain And stood at my bedhead Saying, "Rise, arise, new wedded man And come along with me To the lowlands of Holland For to face your enemy"
  • * superb video and song....my congratulations and thanks for such a brilliant posting !!!

  • lovely 

  • anyone hear this song sung by the mermaids of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean? Im looking for that version...thanks!

  • Best version I've heard!!!

  • @pyromaniaknl As far as I know this is a British song which appears in print in 1760 as "The Sorrowful Lover's" , nothing to do with Ireland

    It's about a man being pressed ganged to fight in the Anglo–Dutch Wars in the 17th and 18th centuries,

    New Holland was a historic name for Australia first applied by the dutch in 1664.

  • @MrRVanB I have no idea i'm Dutch u never hear this but it sounds Irish, the landscape is Irish or Brittish.

  • is this song about the Netherlands?
