Aoife O'Donovan-Tears of Healing Rain/ After the Rain

[@ellengawler1902]

For those who are asking......This is the group Childsplay, with Aiofe, The cellist is Ari Friedman, Keith Murphy is the guitarist and Elsie Gawler is the other back up vocaist. Mark Simos(who teaches songwriting at Berklee) created this amazing song and arrangement for Childsplay. Meltingly beautiful....

[@julienewsome7624]

This just "hits the spot". Nourishment for weary apathy....

[@auldteuchter9012]

You were great even then -- and you keep growing and growing.with age. Mark of this is the talent who play with you, respect all round.

[@jfbreland]

Perfect for what we are going through now.....

[@rogerd9150]

Aoife has the most beautiful angelic voice I’ve ever heard. Thanks to KZbin algorithm for bringing me here. I’ve been watching Aoife’s videos for a while and just now found this. Can’t believe there are not more views.

[@andrewgraziani4331]

I had my "lay my burden down" moment back in 2012. Didn't know this song at the time but boy does it capture the feeling. I sure hope it can help those who still carry theirs.

[@davidsmithee9087]

...what a voice...what a storyteller...thank god for this breath of life...what a voice...

[@jamesbusse1543]

shows she knows support is #1

[@TheOKJose]

This song has well written lyrics, penned in 1998 by Mark Simos, a songwriter praised highly by Alison Krauss of Bluegrass fame. It's a nice song and it's current 128 views and lack of "likes" does discredit to the quality that is here. It's not an earth-shattering, loud or fast number, just a pleasant, harmonious and balanced song. I don't always want to hear songs where people are screaming and being dramatic. Childsplay do a nice job. Thanks for posting.

[@KateFleming1]

it brings me to tears. Aoife's voice is , as always, inspiring and magical. but I particularly love the quality of the violin. the lack of likes for something hi quality and well-done will never surprise me, as much as it is still disappointing. it is lovely

[@milannossek586]

I fully agree, this is good music and very pleasant to listen to.

[@jscottfur9130]

Yeah, my first thought hearing this was Allison Krause would love it.

[@jst6274]

She and her sometimes singing mates, Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz, comprise an entire new wave of "americana", "folk" or whatever and I'm just loving it. Grew up on Simon and Garfunkle and all the singer songwriters so this is just like new blood in my veins. They are scary talented!

[@daflotsam]

Well put. Dylan LeBlanc is another singer/songwriter I've been getting into lately, as well as First Aid Kit.

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

Indeed... Thank God for that

[@davisbliss2739]

Sometimes called 'Newgrass' - Avvett Brothers, Civil Wars, etc.

[@mikerocklin8502]

I recently found this treasure and like a good book I never want my knew discovery to end.☮️

[@BikingVikingHH]

Jesus! She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life. Angelic.

[@davisbliss2739]

Check out the trio I'm With Her...

[@jamesfrangione8448]

A beautiful song, for certain. Accompanied by THAT voice...this is what it sounds like in heaven. She has the voice of an absolute angel.

[@noreaster8]

it is a beautiful arrangement ......it crawls inside you and draws you to a mini explosion of happiness

[@larrysanders5113]

The stringed accompaniment puts this video way over the top

[@jamesbusse1543]

very good.

[@kaloy4poy]

I will lay this burden down That I have carried for so long My own hand placed this mark upon my brow Don’t need to wear it now I will water this thirsty heart With tears of healing rain I’ll learn to lay this burden down And never shoulder it again Never again I walk a tightrope Stretched between my hope and darkest fear And though I look to find Too often I’ve been blind When love drew near I try to hold life lightly Yet I step with a heavy tread On this road I thought I’d chosen Down which I was led (Chorus) I seek a wisdom Some day I’ll learn from the trees that grace this land From the wind that sighs From the scattered leaves that fly I’ll understand How they give themselves so gently To the breeze that guides them on To the hollows where they crumble Back to earth and are gone (Chorus) I dream of doorways Awake as new light plays Across your sleeping face As we lie here warm Something distant yet enormous Longs to be Outside our window Branches bow their heads with snow From last night’s storm Like they’re saying grace … good read diba, biancs? nyahahaha

[@marclalonde8127]

How could you not like this....duhhh lol

[@dandyer2616]

I loved the arrangement and her voice is beautiful She was drowned out a few times by the background music and l didn't catch the words But l definitely gave it a thumbs up.!

[@jasonhumphries9831]

proper tune!

[@squeezethewheeze]

outstandingly beautiful

[@andrefreireoliveira]

Perfeito

[@passesthroughthefire7387]

So powerful.

[@michaeldeeley6073]

Refuge 4 the soul, this is.😉

[@rossella70]

you are amazing. thank you!!!

[@SkyDK1]

Do you happen to know what program this was on? The arrangement is absolutely beautiful.

[@doggirl60]

I found the lyrics thanks to my sweet man!!

[@tylersipla]

George Jones and Waylon Jennings once sang "It just don't get any better than this"

[@Stringman1950]

When I think of Aoife’s voice, I think of purity. Corny sounding, I know, but I love it.

[@daraghvaughan9461]

Thank you for your beautiful music.Is there any way to obtain the lyrics?

[@ernestsmall1245]

who is playing the cello she is terrific

[@bettyegilliam]

Her voice is beautiful, but I have quite a bit of trouble understanding the lyrics. Can anyone share them?

[@shannonmonahan8201]

Has anyone found the lyrincs for this??

[@daraghvaughan9461]

Right on Shannon,I am having a hell of a time trying to track down the lyrics

[@inindian]

The timbre of the male guitarist's voice is not a good match with Aoife's voice.

[@stockyard1968]

Considering that this is live, it is just perfect

[@mamumaumau7205]

Well, rap or real music??? I will take real music thank you.......
