Lovliest rendition of this song I've heard. Your voice is so clear & beautiful. I love that you didn't put a lot of vibrato or flourishes, but just sang the song with heart. It really shows your talent.
Just beautiful!!!! I can easily agree with others that this is the best rendition of this song I have heard. This young lady doesn't just have a beautiful voice, she is absolutely beautiful as well. Rachel, you are a star in the making!!!
because the devaluation of art though streaming and the likes (being indiscriminate of talent) has made music extraordinarily difficult to sustainably produce, If musicians were properly valued for both performance and production this girl would be already on her 3rd or 4th album. Sensational.. id marry that voice in a heartbeat with my eyes closed and take whatever else came with it, cant wait for her debut album.
Just thought it was worth pointing out "Wild mountain thyme", is an Irish song, written, if i remember rightly by someone by the name of "Peake", in Belfast some time in the 50's and only bears reference to a traditional Scottish melody from way back, It was also made famous by a long line of Irish ballad singers.
You are so unassuming that it make this easily the best version on the internet, and your guitar work is smooth and hold the rythm steadily adds a lot to it.
Beautiful version! You are very talented. I wrote new lyrics to this song, and gave it the ending it should have had. I'm Irish...our songs cannot have a happy ending. WILD MOUNTAIN THYME Oh, the summertime has come And the trees are sweetly blooming The wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather. Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather. Will ye go lassie, go? I will build my love a bower By yon pure crystal fountain Around it I will pile All the flowers of the mountain. Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS And I’ll leave her sacred bower And I’ll search the stars above me I shall bring her fruits and flowers, And I’ll ask if she could love me. Will ye go lassie go? CHORUS Her eyes will give me answer And her heart will be my treasure Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS And if my love should leave me I shall never find another Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS I shall spend my darkened days In the cold and rainy weather Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather. Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS And I’ll kiss a flowered hill And I’ll pledge my love forever Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS I’ll lay weeping by her grave And I’ll pray we’ll lie together Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go lassie, go? CHORUS
Rachel Croft's voice is as beautiful as Ireland itself.

From one McCann to another... I agree.

WILD MOUNTAIN THYME
Oh, the summertime has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
The wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Will ye go lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon pure crystal fountain
Around it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain.
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
And I’ll leave her sacred bower
And I’ll search the stars above me
I shall bring her fruits and flowers,
And I’ll ask if she could love me.
Will ye go lassie go?
CHORUS
Her eyes will give me answer
And her heart will be my treasure
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
And if my love should leave me
I shall never find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
I shall spend my darkened days
In the cold and rainy weather
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
And I’ll kiss a flowered hill
And I’ll pledge my love forever
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
I’ll lay weeping by her grave
And I’ll pray we’ll lie together
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?
CHORUS
fantastica
