Coda singing The Briar & The Rose by Tom Waits

Coda singing 'The Briar and The Rose' by Tom Waits. This rendition features on coda's first album 'mouthmusic', available on www.codasinging.com
Coda are seven singers and musicians from Mayo, Ireland, who started singing together in 2010 as members of Mayo-based choir, Cór Mhaigh Eo. They sing both accompanied and a capella

Seven not-so-young men sit around a table in Ireland and sing a song by the best ever: Tom Waits. And they do it so fantastically that I'm on my knees. Thanks to Alan, Brian, Conall, Declan, Leonard, Mike and Steve.

Just about everyone who sings this beautiful song sounds great. But these fellows really know how to harmonize and at different levels. Did a great job on this song.

I fell asleep down by a stream And there I had the srtangest dream And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows A briar and a rose There's a tree in the forest and I don't know where I built a nest out of your hair And climbing up into the air The briar and the rose Well I don't know how long it's been But I was born in Brennan's Glenn And near the end of spring there grows A briar and a rose I picked a rose one early morn I pricked my finger on a thorn They'd grown so close their winding wove The briar and the rose I tried to tear them both apart I felt a bullet in my heart And all dressed up in springs new clothes The briar and the rose And when i'm buried and in my grave Tell me then so i will know Your tears may fall to make love grow The briar and the rose

Thank you, gentlemen of Ireland. You uphold and increase the finest of traditions, and bring a tear to the eye.

I didn't know that Tom Waits actually wrote this. I thought he just did a cover. This is one of my favorite songs.

[@markusberzborn6346]

This is his art. Writing songs that sound as natural as if they had always been there.
