[@thepip3599]

All the stories of selkies that I know involve a human kidnapping them, so I imagine this was the same. I interpret the “after many persuasions” as being code for this, and it makes the story be about a poor seal girl who got kidnapped and managed to escape from her captors with all their money. It makes it way happier.

[@thepip3599]

Oh. I just realized that that interpretation of it makes the line “he invited her down to his cabin below” have some rapey tones to it. Yikes. Well, that makes her eventual victory even more heroic.

[@thepip3599]

@@h_towns I imagined that they kidnapped her but left her coat behind on the shore.

[@thedancingdivaofdaviestree2320]

@@thepip3599 Yes, he will die if he can't "have" that maid on the shore. Does her consent matter? Apparently not. He offers to pay his sailors to "persuade" her, and does NOT offer to share his wealth with her. This pirate mermaid or selkie has the last laugh, however. (One hopes they learn to invite rather than kidnap next time. )

[@FlatlandMando]

Heard many versions now, this is the best. The total music sounds " woven". No flaws, a fine tapestry

[@novepipps]

What are the other versions??

[@TheRealSkeletor]

@@novepipps Stan Rogers and Figgy Duff both have fantastic renditions of this song.

[@flob1180]

​​@@novepipps Late to the party, but the Glengarry Bhoys rendition is phenomenal. The singer's voice suits the song insanely well

[@youichiminagawa2554]

Finally, this song is getting the recognition it deserves. Been listening to this beauty since 2008 when I discovered it in the Putumayo album, Celtic Tides. To date, it's still one of the best Putumayo tracks I've listened to and I've listened to hundreds!

[@sb-cz7fk]

Same that CD was my childhood!

[@luciamcmaster6338]

That CD was full of bangers!!

[@AWalkingHat]

When I first discovered this song in my teenage years, I wept because such beautiful music existed. Karan Casey's voice is a unique gift to humanity. It was one of those moments when something so fine about the world moves you deeply yet feels so out of reach.

[@alienindisguise5546]

Live like the fair maid on the shore. Forget men, GET PAID!!!

[@captaincrunchiii158]

I’m in despair-o

The SOLAS channel lists this as The Made on the Shore.... Thanks for a shareable posting ❤

[@iSelkiei]

The ultimate power move

[@gfdereus8967]

A true top 😂👌

[@MossyLittleCrow]

I could recognize Karan's voice anywhere. This is absolutely beautiful.

[@joshbates9015]

This is one maid who is immune to The Implication.

[@talosheeg]

I remember singing this song all the time!!!

[@FlatlandMando]

Did not hear this song before. A beautiful legend- song done this way.

[@rickdavids8128]

If anyone is like me and can't place where else they heard the melody at the start, it was sampled by Timbaland for "All y'all" and then by Childish Gambino for "All Y'all".

[@Spineless-Lobster]

I love the tune! Great song!

[@theondebray]

Wonderful, both Solas, and Karan Casey with a voice in her prime.

[@maggies.224]

This is the kind of music Corpse Husband listens to when he needs cheering up 🤣😌 I like it

[@annedunne4526]

I believe the singer is our own Karen Casey, singing with Solas.

[@thomasmcculey7942]

I would love to see a Solas reunion of Seamus, Winn, Mick, John, Eamonn, and Karen. Best Celtic band since the Bothy Band, or Planxty.

[@sessena7919]

Good for her

[@soufienkhalfaoui7593]

I ain't gon' lie... I discovered this song through the Timbaland and Magoo "All y'all" sample. It was 2001 I guess.

[@jameshall220]

Me too

[@garynaccarato4606]

The plot twist is the seemingly innocent maid on the shore techically turned out being a pirate.

[@scarboroughvegan]

I frist heard this song Newfie style, due to my Newfie Heritage. But that's not odd as alot of Newfies have Irish/Scottish heritage.

[@anabosnjak5296]

Why singing in English the most disgusting language of all

[@donatiuspynethz1296]

@Emily Barclay english is disgusting

[@donatiuspynethz1296]

I am just communicating that I don't like it compared to the Celtic languages

[@donatiuspynethz1296]

@Emily Barclay yes that's exactly what I wanted to say. This language is filthy.

[@donatiuspynethz1296]

Because it has lost its complexity (like it had in old English) And it's speakers contributed to the extinction of other languages.

[@reinforcementpandas5502]

I wanna be upset, but the more I think about.... The more I realize that out of all languages it is kinda the worst. I don't know if I feel as strongly as you do, but if I had the choice I definitely wouldn't chose English over Irish or Swahili or... anything else
