Same here. Horrible tv show. But Cara's voice is pure gold.

[@monserratespinozaronquillo766]

i heard a bit of this song on the show "derry girls" and it has become one of my favorite songs of all time, it´s so nostalgic

[@nouralhuda4011]

oh my good thats how I heard of this song for the first time!

[@theowels5773]

@@nouralhuda4011 Me too! In fact reading these has reminded me thats where I first heard it, I'd forgotten lol

OMGEE same, immediately came from the scene where James says hell wait for erin

[@unxprienced9548]

Glad he got his electric razor 🥲

[@ilurvemv]

I really struggle to understand with the thick accents on the show - what was the deal with the razor and why was he asking about it at the seance?

[@unxprienced9548]

@@ilurvemv i’m fairly certain he gave it do his wife prior to her passing and she died before she told him where she last left it thus him believing it to be permanently missing. but the “totally real seance” he was led to the spot and got it from the box

[@ilurvemv]

@@unxprienced9548 okay, thanks

[@CheshireCesare]

Yessss..! 🙏🏼 Derry Girls is such a hilarious show, and sometimes I’m still laughing well into the credits… but those episodes with the quiet, emotional ending scenes… oooof! Those really get to me 🥲❤️

[@unxprienced9548]

@@CheshireCesare I couldn’t agree more! They did such a good job mixing sad history with humor. Great show

[@4dualshock]

Derry girls final season slapped in terms of the soundtrack......damn!

[@anujchandra412]

Derry Girls is so brilliant..

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I heard this song in my teenage years, it was one of those rare songs that instilled me with a little bit more of will to live.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair Her lips are like a rose so fair She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon she stands I love my love and well she knows I love the ground whereon she goes And how I wish the day would come When she and I can be as one Black is the colour of my true love's hair Her lips are like a rose so fair She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon she stands Oh, whereon she stands Oh, whereon she stands Oh, whereon she stands Oh, whereon she stands Oh, whereon she stands I go to the clyde and mourn and weep Satisfied I never will sleep I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines And suffer death ten thousand times Black is the colour of my true love's hair Her lips are like a rose so fair She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon she stands I love ground whereon she stands Love the ground

[@chelsee6453]

I have seen Cara Dillon twice so when I heard her singing on S3 Ep4 of the derry girls I came on here to hear the whole song again.

[@abcxyz-wo4bk]

A beautifully interpreted traditional folk song.

[@patriciabristow-johnson5951]

This is one of my favorite songs I think. I love how unapologetically sapphic it is 💗

[@Claire-fs2dn]

it’s not a sapphic song it was written by christy moore who’s a man this is a cover, love a good sapphic song though love girl in red this just isn’t one though

[@barryhessel6078]

I first heard this song at Scarborough faire in waxahachie Texas.

[@mitachu]

Derry Girls brought me to this page, but I know the song from an Above & Beyond track that uses the same lyric. Both excellent tracks.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I don't think I can overstate how important stumbling upon this song as a heart broken queer teen was.

[@ninamunro8015]

I was the girl in the black cap, cheese and grain. Log d ya kid from the first time, the way you sing Irish folk is truly unbelievable. God bless you.xxxx

[@Robertz1986]

To be fair, this is an American folk song derived from a Scottish folk song, but she does sing it well.

[@sharmeenkhan8379]

It's one of the most delicate, angelic voices I've ever heard. Absolutely poignant and overwhelming for sensitive souls. She remembers me at ISGAARD - "Fold Your Hands and Pray" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXK1nZ5-Zcl6rNU touching similar your heard.
