Will never understand how people's lives are so hurried that they cannot stop for 5 minutes to listen. Such a beautiful voice Rachel has and Mary Black would have loved it this I know! Thank you kindly for sharing...

Rachel does much justice for this beautiful Irish song. God bless her heart!

[@walkernick86]

How on earth are people just walking past this!? Even the ones putting money in. I was transfixed and amazed by her voice and beautiful rendition of this classic song!

[@RachelCroftMusic]

ahh wow, thank you so much! Sorry this reply is late, I forget to check Martin's videos of me for comments!

[@barrylynch3602]

that voice deserves an audience of thousands rather than a few disinterested shoppers

[@francisdoran8992]

I would not be able to walk on by. I'd have to stop and listen

[@rogerefird8523]

Yes, agreed....but the competition was an early recording by Mary Black....I very much love this one, too, just for the music and an beautiful voice.

I was in York one day and saw Rachel setting up. Her voice made me do an about turn. The quickest CD purchase of my life.

[@RachelCroftMusic]

Thanks so much John, hope you enjoyed the CD!

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

She has a beautiful voice.

[@8fox261]

Rachel Croft reminds me of a young Bonnie Raitt playing to small crowds in a bar called 'Tulagi's' in Boulder CO 1973. I was a freshman at CU then. I knew she would go far. I get the same feeling each time I hear Rachel sing.. You've won me over as a true fan, Rachel, and I thank you most enthusiastically..

[@RachelCroftMusic]

Thank you so much! I'm so honoured! So sorry this reply is late, I forget to check Martin's videos of me for comments!

Ireland, you'll get through the storm from the Atlantic sea. We in America are with you in spirit. If you need anything, just let us know.

[@noelpucarua2843]

A beautiful voice and a beautiful song that is even more beautiful when you realise it was written by an English couple, Phil and June Colclough.

[@heykim6053]

[@helenagabriel6407]

She's amazing singer, really high and clean notes , bravo for this great cover !

[@kendallbee4243]

Rachel has an enchanting voice, truly beautiful what a blessing.

[@folkmusicgirl]

You can really sing well! Lovely tone, lovely range and just pure & crystal clear.Keep singing no matter what. It's hard to make a living singing and competition is fierce but just remember - you have a great voice and it is worth all the obstacles to overcome in this world. You have that gift of voice!

[@JohnBreenFolk]

Rachel makes this song her own. Beautiful vocal and attitude for a perfect delivering of another great classic

[@johnpowers2921]

When I was this young lady’s age I probably would not have stopped either with the idea I’ll have time for this later. Now I’m 74 all I would like to do is stop and listen because I now know how little time we all are given

[@dominiquedv]

[@WiskyDuck]

An English woman with an Irish soulful passion for music, like June and Phil Colchlough (from North Staffordshire). The Dingle peninsula is indeed a beautiful, captivating muse.

[@daveiron1]

How can people walk past & ignore such an amazing performance ? It just proves that all the sheeple ever listen to is the idiot box in the corner of the room.

[@hangdogit2]

Stunning. If I were walking by, I could not take one more step until she finished!

[@aughalough1]

Touching cover of a great song. The way you sing it 'outstanding" Rachel .

I love RACHEL she made me cry best wishes Kinnon from Scotland.

[@billlohan5079]

Moved from abroad to the Galway bay coast at midlife. Everyday I remember I live in a post card. If I were planning my funeral I would move heaven and earth to have you Rachel sing this at it. It wouldn’t surprise me if you are asked by Irish emigrants over England to so. Not just the song. YOU singing it.

[@spenterprise591]

I echo the comments below, how can anyone just pass by? This illistrates the major flaw in our modern society, its not our differences, it is our inability to appreciate how beautiful we are. Rachel you are beautiful 😍 and your thank you and sweet smile makes my day and I'm not even there!

[@Heroclitus1]

Beautiful words: Walking all the day near tall towers where falcons build their nests Silver winged they fly, they know the call of freedom in their breasts Soar Black Head against the sky Between the rocks that run down to the sea Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea and sang a song for Ireland Talking all the day with true friends, who try to make you stay Telling jokes and news, singing songs to pass the night away Watched the Galway salmon run like silver dancing darting in the sun Living on your western shore saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea and sang a song for Ireland Drinking all the day in old pubs where fiddlers love to play Someone touched the bow, he played a reel, it seemed so fine and gay Stood on Dingle beach and cast, in wild foam we found Atlantic Bass Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea and sang a song for Ireland Dreaming in the night, I saw a land where no man had to fight Waking in your dawn, I saw you crying in the morning light Lying where the Falcons fly, they twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea and I sang a song for Ireland
