I was used to this being sung by John McCormack as Ballad as my father was a John McCormack fan. Also the Fairport version I remember.

[@snowfiresunwind]

The Fairport Convention version is outstanding.

[@pontesieve]

Beautiful rendition of this song , I grew up listening to the chieftains playing their instrumental take on this song

[@BluenoteBoy]

So sensitive and hauntingly beautiful, makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. One of my absolute favourite tunes/songs. I must have deep Celtic roots somewhere back in time…I do hope so. Thank you for sharing.

[@barryjenkins8401]

Well said.

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Hypnotic. Exquisite. Sublime. Beautiful people, timeless and trend-free. Beautiful music this most evocative of Celtic mysteries. Inspired rendition by true artists who push the music not themselves. Transported blown away.

[@christinemac4269]

Me too. Couldn't think clearly after i heard it , just FEEL. but u said it Dawn. Chris

[@123thof]

A terrifying, heart-tearing tale of grief carried in a storm of beauty

[@trishfevens9297]

Exactly, so well put.

[@boboala1]

Interesting terminology, but I still remember that chilly early Sunday morn when first I heard a different version...it was fascinatingly erie...my adjectives...and every nerve up my back became electric. I enjoy once or twice a year seeing if there are any new YT renditions I haven't heard. This group of kids (or they were 12 years ago) & this arrangement is one of my faves! Sinead's, too. But if ya wanna hear 4-part acappella singing at its' best, check out Celtic Thunder's version. Wow!

[@AzRavnGrl]

Man, I wish I could thumbs up every time I watch/listen to this

[@robsgarage552]

haunting; what a rendition. it took me somewhere where it's cloudy, misty, and i can see clouds over the mountains and hear the ocean shoreline crashing in the distance

[@micahbrill130]

I can't believe this only has 180k views/listens. This quality deserves so many more!

[@barryjenkins8401]

Beautiful and haunting, drawing one into the song and a time long past. What a delightful musical repast...❤

[@apollothirteen9236]

[@hjd832]

So mystical & mysterious, clear & beautiful against the wonderful’drone’ of the other instruments! Just fabulous ! I will be buying their music ….❤

[@Spliffrite]

I've been a lover of Celtic music as long as I can remember & I just discovered the B-Tribe version of this and now I am listening to every version I can find. WTF. I LOVE THIS!

[@rudolfbehm2194]

my god thats wot angels sound like.i lost my fionce here in dublin 3 yrs ago 2 weeks b4 our wedding n your version just made me cry like a child

[@jorgesuarez7073]

Beautiful rendition of the song. Some people complain about too many or too few instruments, sound too high or too low, as usual. I found it hauntingly fantastic and the guitarist lovely.

[@pianoboogieman7290]

I’ve loved this song ever since as a 16 year old in 1969 I heard the late John Peel play Fairport Convention’s version on his radio show. To me nothing can beat Sandy Denny’s singing or Richard Thompson’s guitar accompaniment ( and he was just 17 at the time) Fond memories , but having said that this version is truly beautifully sung , played and arranged

[@michaeligoe3935]

You're so right. Sandy's voice and Richard's subtle grace notes make the Fairport reading inimitable .

[@susanvadencourt1241]

I could not agree more!

[@pegaleto]

Bert Jansch's version is my absolute favorite; and beautiful guitar work

[@raphaelhudson]

This is bloody brilliant

[@puckluck2357]

Brilliant!

[@patkeeg1]

awesome!

[@maxycharp]

what a song... and what a performance... thank you!

[@westrig180]

Mesmerizing rendition of a very ancient folk song. If anything the acoustic guitarist who is so tastefully playing should have finger picked all the way thru. Intense camera work combined with an inspiring performance these musicians are totally immersed in the moment.

[@Ukulele_Ad]

Favourite version, love it

[@withlove1887]

Wow !!

[@ombra004]

Absolutely, utterly enchanting! Thank you!

[@jupiterinaries6150]

What a beautiful cello player...
