I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Kate Rusby

[@suz7341]

"-...I warn you, it will break your heart." "- Already broken."

[@kushkarma7081]

by order of the foookin..

[@Ymirson999]

You and I both.......

[@PennyTraition]

Yes, it's a re-working of an Irish traditional folk-song; you can find it in the 'Elegy' section of the book "A Celtic Miscellany" (along with some other beautiful writings). For those who may be interested.

[@greetanaangelos9318]

PennyTraition Thanks for the info :)

[@kamilkucza8105]

Thank you!

[@thejesse4922]

When I first heard that, it sounded very similar to Rebirth by Eluveitie.

[@elenna_alexia]

@@thejesse4922 I just listened to that earlier and I knew I had heard something similar before, so I had to figure out where.

[@oxdudepoege]

Peaky blinders brought me here. Awesome song

[@TheMadridisto]

***** matey, who sings this one in peaky blinders?

[@AbcAbc-cp2oh]

+oxdudepoege Me too

[@rchester]

Sinead O'Connor did this song, too. Kate's is better, of course

[@givemeabreak658]

Sineade brought me here!

[@Findnyou]

Abbey Park, for me. Bah, but this it incredible

[@SantosAl]

It is about a boy obsessively mourning his dead love, goes on to mention that he is grateful that they didn't sleep together out of wedlock he also states that he can't live fully without her and he will onward shelter her (grave). The title of the poem is quite literal 'I Am Stretched On Your Grave' he is lying over her grave. Cheers.

[@BamadeusTTV]

This poem is truly amazing, and combined with Kate Rusby's haunting voice and accent it is truly a moving piece of music too.

[@BarbieGirlMaeve]

@mrvenica It is originally a 17th Century Irish poem about a young man who lost his lover. It's a really complex poem about still being able to feel her even though she is not there. Also it is noted in the poem that the couple were alone in the woods, and despite longing for each other, they never expressed their emotions physically. The voice in the poem says that this made their relationship stronger. It's a mournful and very sad poem, but beautiful, obviously :)

[@lenakan8990]

This... is pure beauty. This song has a lovely and sad ethereal atmosphere. And the beat they add after the first minute or so has something so powerful, I don't know how to describe it. Beautiful, just beautiful and stunning. The most beautiful version I've heard

[@Sameoldfitup]

“It is not those who can inflict the most, but those that can suffer the most who will conquer.”

[@sugarlumps73]

The lyrics in this song makes me think of Cathy and Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights.

[@beccieallen378]

thank god I am not the only one who sees this

[@ioananc9242]

Or Tess and Angel Clare

[@Rwsegee]

I wish I could give this a thumbs up every time I listen to it. Beautiful version.

[@edit7281]

I'm in love with this song and the Peaky blinders ❤️

[@dmcundiff1978]

Such a beautiful voice. Love it.

[@helendinsmore7731]

It is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. This is a lovely version. I heard it first from Dead Can Dance, then Sinead. This is great.

[@puffthemagicsativa3784]

This song makes me think of my dead best friend. We were best friends for almost 20 years he would be 28 in September we were born 2 months apart. I miss you brother and in the odd chance that an afterlife or soul exists than I'll see you again

[@waynesaunders1151]

Puff the Magic Sativa thats the way to think... One day you will be reunited my friend. I hold the same hope that I will one day see my uncle again who was more like a brother and best friend to me.

[@reluuuu]

Take care of you...

[@rchester]

Here is a gift. Kate's voice is the purest ever.

[@ks9759]

Wow, came looking for this after remembering how I used to listen to it as a young child. I’m in my 20s now, and discovered this song has become relevant again. Crazy! I’m glad. Kate Rusby is incredible!

[@jessicam3543]

This is such a moving song...the sound is ethereal and full of longing, love, passion & sorrow. I think the man is going to die and wants to do so, stretched out on his one true love's grave, to be as close to her as possible when he passes.

[@Nerdrage20]

This song/poem is so beautiful ! And she sings it beautifully!

[@yvm1434]

Grace - Peaky Blinders ;)

[@corsellatuzen4919]

Yago Vidal i like to think its the song that showed thomas grace's potential for profound tender love that he never had, and enchanted his peaky heart.

[@PiaMogollonArt]

this song has been around long before peaky blinders and the actress who played Grace did not even do it justice, she couldn't hold a candle to this woman, but hey I give her credit since she says she never sang before the show. Nice effort. But kind she kind of kills the mood that this song can elicit. So bland compared to this.

[@afran7855]

the most beautiful voice, and best version of this song! I am definitely a new fan.

[@erykaton170]

Never heard this version before but I loved Sinead O'Connor's version back in the 90's.

[@marwaatia8838]

RIP GRACE SHELBY🥀

[@andibell652]

Beautiful - my favorite Kate Rusby track!

[@gillianlangton4960]

Loved that song, and the pictures! they did do justice to a wonderfulsong sung beautifully.

[@TheNinaz1989]

My favourite song all my life. Kate does it do much justice!

[@cidetoo]

This song takes my into an transcended state of mind...it's like an love incantation... my soul simply crumbles... ineffable :)

[@tobiasschulz5840]

Its gonna be played next tuesday in the funeral If my beloved father 😢. Rest in Peace

[@sparklybeast]

I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

[@lilyanaharforde3374]

I Am Stretched On Your Grave... Released and sung by Sinead O'Connor since 1990.. another great version!

[@berndstorz9888]

Just looking the Blinders for the second time and love this song so much.

[@ЛюдмилаКостанянц]

Maybe I'm wrong, but have I not heard this beautiful song in Peaky Blinders?

[@suecameron3124]

Your music is always beautiful, the instruments are like a duvet to your voice..

[@Scorpio_Moonshine]

[@arniemonkey]

[@DeadDrone77]

Great voice and great show

[@Tanlm1966]

Awesome, beautiful. Thanks ❤️

[@jdjohnson7299]

Beautiful version. But Sinead's will always be the pinnacle for me. This is beautiful. she is a beautiful singer.

[@Moelli1969]

Sad and beautiful...

[@ZosiaDabrowski]

This is so amazing... so beautiful. I looked up Sinead O'Connor's version of this first and it's different, but not a patch on Kate Rusby's! :) So yeah I really love this one

[@irish66]

I disagree. I like Kate. But much prefer Sinead singing this.

[@Dardrian]

I love Kate's version of this song so much.

[@eltoroo123]

ive looked so much. i could not find a more melodious version

[@GerardLover165]

i LOVE this song ...

[@garywhitt98]

This is the song that introduced me to Kate Rusby. “Who the frig is that singing the song?! Holy mother!”

[@unifieddynasty]

And it was today that I learned this folk song is where Eluveitie's song "Rebirth" is from. 😀

[@missmusiquenonstop]

thanks for sharing. Images are haunting... suit it beautifully. well done.

[@flyuhud]

Hands down the version with the most soul, not even close.

[@Marquis-Sade]

Although PB brought me here, I am here because this song is very beautiful!

[@andyrint]

holy s**t - I didn't think anyone could do a sinead song better than she could - until now

[@chrisdansey2600]

It's actually a Scullion song - they were the first to perform it and Philip King wrote the tune.

[@tonymobbs7738]

Listen to abney parks version of this song in my eyes far better

[@Natalie-bg2lr]

Tony Mobbs Abney Park is a joke, not even Abney Park takes Abney Park seriously.

[@honeyandgold]

Chris Dansey This song is an ancient gaelic poem translated to english and set to music. The original poem was of unknown authorship.

[@mikeleza]

Long time favourite!

[@vacsad]

Goosebumps ^^

[@ruubdude]

normally not my taste of music but this song is wonderful greetings from holland

[@corsellatuzen4919]

This song made me cry. I just had to write an alternative story, where the male was singing to his dearly departed instead, and didn't feel as sadly alone.

[@inkedbettiepdx1]

This was originally a 17th century poem. I will look for that version, I have heard quite a few over time

[@OnlyEmilie]

Shelby !

[@xfroze2652]

Underrated track.

[@zenzenzense1562]

[@seanboyd2898]

This is the perfect Banshee song.

[@Detroitmamma]

Like this song😳

[@theboss777man]

lyrics: I am stretched on your grave and I´ll lie here forever if your 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

[@gertstein]

how true

[@ZbangzbangNoMi]

sounds beautiful

[@clockley]

"Calling unto the earth with tears hot and wild...do you remember the night -the night when we were lost?" xo
