The saddest and most evocative song of love lost that has ever been written and performed. Andy Irvine is the undisputed master of melancholy songcraft.
Themost beautiful Irish song I know. ~ La plus belle chanson irlandaise que je connaisse. ~ La cancion irlandesa mas bella que conosco. ~ La cancione irlandesa piu bella que conozco.
I will love this song forever but it always reminds me of my old teacher Brendan Mulcaire. Please excuse my spelling of his surname but he was the greatest teacher He was always mentioning Co. Clare. I love you Brendan. Eileen aka Skallywag!!! xxxxxx
catnips . arrows... haven't heard his version but if I did i bet you I'd wished I hadn't....and utterly depressing boring and totally dull musician. In ten years time people will be asking.....why....and more importantly.....how was it allowed?

I saw Andy do this last year... As good as ever... beautiful song... beautiful man.
Loved their 'Planxty" LP from the mid-70s...this song especially, and The 3 Yellow Gipsies.
I saw Andy, Donal, Liam and Paddy Glackin do this a couple of days ago in Belfast. It melted my heart....but in a good way.
i was there to and recorded this song absolutely amazing.
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Heard this on "Thistle and Shamrock" back in the eighties...still haunts...
that was a great gig.
So enchanting
Wow indeed. One of the few things on You Tube with no 'dislikes' !!
love this song,,
I think it was on their pre-Planxty LP, Prosperous; brilliant in any case.
