FINE RENDITION !!!!!! BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED AND SUNG !!!!!! YOU ARE SO AMAZING !!!!! I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH YOU !!!!!

[@garygray7590]

Rachel puts her heart & soul into this beautiful Irish song. ❤️

[@garygray7590]

Beautiful!

[@spinningreelsofrhyme]

Incredibly beautiful rendition of this song...Her voice is very nearly ethereal.

[@scambammer6102]

I like the solitude of this solo performance much better than more orchestrated versions. The emotion of this song is loneliness and longing, best captured by a solo artist.

[@garygray7590]

Rachel you are such a beautiful singer & to beat everything else you are very Irish! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@tonygallagher4623]

Wow, that is a beautiful rendition of The Fields of Athenry🎶🎵👏👏👏👏

Love your Crystal clear voice , these songs keep me going in a world that's getting madder

*I couldn't find a video with lyrics, but alas:* "By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling... "Michael, they have taken you away... For you stole Trevelyan's corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay..." Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the win; We had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling, 'Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free... Against the famine and the crown I rebelled; they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity.' Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing... We had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... By a lonely harbour wall, She watched the last star falling, As that prison ship sailed out against the sky... For she lived in hope and pray, For her love in Botany Bay... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... Low lie the fields of Athenry, Where once we watched the small free birds fly... Our love was on the wing... We had dreams and songs to sing... It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry..."

Aye beautiful just beautiful ,well done.

[@kapellmeister51]

The voice is perfect for this genre. Clear and articulate. But, the most distinctive qualities are the elegant phrasing and exquisite vocal ornamentation. I could listen to a lot more of these poignant songs!

[@JamesSmith-oi9sx]

Beautiful voice . such a heart warming version of the song .

[@shausen1179]

Great rendition of a beautiful song.

[@coyote8543]

So good!!!!!!!

[@trbnew]

Beautiful singing ,as always, but I wonder how many people enjoying listening to this recording are aware of just how versatile and multi-talented you are. When I first heard you sing to the accompaniment of your guitar, I couldn’t have imagined that you had such a great jazz voice. I look forward to your ever increasing success, and wonder which of your talents will bring you fame and fortune - jazz, folk, art?

[@goatpappy49]

Lovely!!!!! And then some . . .

As the only English boy in an Irish Catholic school, Co. Wicklow circa 1950 I was weaned on Irish rebel songs. Hauntingly evocative, as this on is,

[@dangerousdennis1676]

1, this is not a rebel song..... 2, you are English ……. So feck off...….

[@OasisMadf3rit]

@@dangerousdennis1676 Ignore this weapon, Chris. Irish music is for everyone.

[@buailebawns2162]

They were Irish patriots, not rebels. While we were at it, the potato famine was a genocide as troops loaded Irish food onto ships & sent it to England. The truth needs to be told. Rachel sang this transportation song beautifully.

[@aehoare]

your guitar caught my eye. It's exactly like mine. This is, by far, the best female recording of Fields of Athenry (Athen Rhye). I wish I could download it from iTunes. You really need to share your beautiful voice beyond KZbin. Perfection!

Nice version of a great Irish ballad. Note, the place name is Athenry.

[@sefra6]

ath an righ (place of the king) presumably.. and so hauntingly and astonishingly and beautifully sung!

[@ShankarSivarajan]

And they are emphatically _not_ fields of some kind of rye.

[@archymac5801]

love u, as all irish men will

[@deeryker]

Ahhh,,,look,,I have the same comment here about tempo. You are also bending the odd word here and there,,,good voice,,People in Ireland fall asleep to this song,,if ye ever got up to sing it in a pub,,,folk would just beging talking.

[@gary1477]

This tune is also used in two soccer chants, Fields of Anfield (Liverpool FC) and Field of GBK (Persija FC).
