i have been hearing her since i was a baby but this and the lady of shalott are my two favorites i got to sing them for a school talent show and i am not afraid to post me singing them on youtube
A lot of us seem to have heard this in fifth grade. Now, this could be one major coincidence, and I assume it is, but just to make sure, did any of you happen to have a teacher in fifth grade known as Mr. Ferris?
the last time i heard this was in year 5 when we listened to it as a class
Same
What school did u go to
we listened to this in class and now i cant read without thinking about this song.
Moon Fang lol we listened to it too and we're going to perform it to the year 2s
I remembered this since 7th grade.
Learned this song from grade school english class, relearning it for a shanty/Irish folk band I'm in. Oh, how things come full circle
I played this at my Literature class and OMGOSH I have never seen any 1 there pay any more attention ever! And Iv'e there for like 2 years :D
I heard this on Pandora last night! I love Lorenna Mckennit but such a sad song beautiful though.

Your username suggests a parallel tale where Beren and Luthien come back from death to live awhile peacefully in Ossiriand, “singing sorrowless”.
