[@cortessa9]

I feel this song deep in my core for my soul mate who I outlived

[@jesstwocrow1005]

This song speaks to my grief at losing my childhood sweetheart of 28 years. He was proudly Irish. Rest in power, Ross.

[@Christopher_Pug]

This song, based on an older poem, is very powerful and emotional. I feel it deeply every time I hear it.

[@oussamalkhouil5930]

I am stretched on your grave And I'll lie here forever If you hands were in mine I'd be sure they would not sever My apple tree, my brightness, It's time we were together For I smell by the Earth And I'm worn by the weather. When my family think That I'm safely in my bed Oh, from morn until night I am stretched out at your head Calling out unto the earth With tears hot and wild For the loss of a girl That I loved as a child. Do you remember the night Oh, the night when we were lost In the shade of the blackthorn And the touch of the frost? Oh, and thanks be to Jesus We did all that was right And your maidenhead still Is your pillar of light. Oh, the priests and the friars They approach me in dread Oh, for I love you still Oh, my life, and you're dead I still will be your shelter Through rain and through storm And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm I am stretched on your grave And I'll lie here forever If you hands were in mine I'd be sure they would not sever My apple tree, my brightness, It's time we were together For I smell by the Earth And I'm worn by the weather

Such a direct, powerful delivery of this song. I've heard other versions that make it sound more like an expression of a spooky obsession. Here I hear grief.

[@dominiehooper]

Thank you Peter!

[@cgsproul783]

The emotion expressed in her delivery is so authentic. My apple tree, my brightness it’s time we were together. I love you still; I’m alive and you are dead. It’s time we were together. RIP CDS 🖤

[@dobbytheelf5963]

This is my favorite version I've ever heard of this song. God id marry this lass just to hear her sing every night

[@vickystanley8853]

I didn't cry 'till the end when the tears in Domminie's eyes broke loose the tears in mine. This is the best rendition of this song I've ever seen..and I've seen a couple of doźen, at least.

[@nadiafarheen8037]

the best version to me....wow!!

[@olivepersighetti4771]

Powerful beautiful voice

[@roughwoof]

*Best one I've heard so far.*

[@lionsmtb4815]

Beautiful voice

[@Grobr666]

This is my favorite version I've heard. Your voice is beautiful, and the song is great as it is. A part of me however, wishes I could hear you sing this tune with a band. Those crying Celtic fiddles would sound great paired with your vocals.

[@markleonard3041]

This is not as easy as it my look. She is singing without instruments so a singer voice is laid bare. Well done.

[@kesali77]

This is outstanding! Incredible delivery

[@richH1625]

Fine fine job. Thanks.

[@andyrint]

I think the look in her eyes at the end of the song tells the story. This came from a very personal place. I gave it a 'thumbs up' although that seems a bit inappropriate for this song.

[@skandral1339]

Chills

[@tkm69u]

Simply powerful

[@hearthstorytelling4971]

Stunning!

[@cathyg.6776]

Beautiful

[@moecurlythanu]

Wow. Exceptional, honey. Just exceptional.

[@sionnachmacbradaigh1010]

Phenomenal

[@JohnMDuffy1]

So affecting.

[@awesomearm11]

How absurd one could sound.. but I would choose you and your ultimate voice towards my bed.. well done ... Shit ur amazing

[@112seedsoflight]

Oh my Gods that was absolutely stunning! What a lucky find for me. What a beautiful voice and such control and timing. Beautiful!

[@112seedsoflight]

And I agree with Peter Small and Dobie Elf - this is THE BEST version of this song I have ever heard! Thank you!

[@Givingitashot]

Táim sínte ar do thuama. This is sufuckingperb! Well done girl, a fine song to choose, a very fine song indeed.
