This song is superbly sung by Kate Bush, and the musical arrangement by Donal Lunny is the icing on the cake for sure. I am so proud of Kate and Donal for such a beautiful creation.

This was played at our Mum's funeral, and her headstone bears the inscription 'bean na h'Eireann' which was supposed to mean 'a woman of Ireland' but think it actually says ' The women of Ireland'. Eitherway, this version is beyond praise. Simply of another world.
@bonmacg36302 жыл бұрын
Bean means a woman so it’s correct; mná means women
@MrJohnsolomon Жыл бұрын
Bean is singular as in 'woman of Ireland' which would be appropriate since she was one. The plural form would be mná, as in the song. But the song is about women not a woman.

Kate Bush is loved throughout the world for her individual talent and style. From her Irish Mother she possesses a unique talent in understanding and delivering true Irish music, which often embodies it's struggle through foreign occupation and famine. Not only Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland) are proud of Kate but all of Ireland! Thank you, your Mother would be so proud. Le gach dea-ghuí. Slanté x

Beautiful song sung by our Beautiful Katie, I've been a fan since she appeared on the scene and I saw her first show at the Palladium ( London) , I wrote to her about her music in the eighties, letter sent to her Parents home in Kent, I didn't really expect a reply as she was a very busy much in demand artist by then, imagine how I felt when a very personal hand written letter came back to me on headed paper, it was a lovely letter and so friendly it was as if she knew me. A true icon and so talented, her music means so much to people.

Kate's mother coming from Ireland may explain her very nice pronunciation of the Irish. No doubt, Kate made visits to her mother's family and learned how Irish voices sounded, even if they weren't speaking Gaelic. Hers is my favorite recording of this song.

I searched for this song every single year since then beacuse I found it beautiful, even though I had no idea (and I still don't) of what it said or what it was about. I am very proud I decided to follow a lead on someone who made a comment on a Enya video and that eventually brought me here! 20 years I searched for it. I will now enjoy it as much as I can... jesus a whole life has gone searching...

Ruttles-"All You Need Is Cash" was a SNL spoof of the Beatles Idle did as well. RIP Mr.Beck we all miss you on this side on the pond.
