This is spine-tingling. I just heard this recently by a pub owner in Cork singing it as she worked behind the bar. I have heard other very good versions but this is music at its finest. Thank you.
WoW, This song has still a special place in my heart. Used to play and sing it with me mate "Evert", sins he past away I never sang it again. This hurts my feelings positively. Thanks a mille guys!!
Trevor Sexton and yourself, Ger, put out an impressively mesmerizing rendition of this classic song crafted by Corkman, Jimmy MacCarthy and famously sung by Mary Black. Fantastic, to say the least. Thanks lads!
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers the first light, much much more Than mountains ever do. And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed. For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature And I am the geek with the alchemists stone. For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally One bright blue rose outlives all those Two thousand years and still it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally
So I went through a couple of different versions of this beautiful song lately. But I have to say that that's by far the most beautiful rendition I have ever came across. I just love everything about this 💞💞💞
This is gorgeous Ger. Your channel has actually inspired my to start one off my own. In fact the lovely man to your right has performed on it last time I was in Limerick. Keep up the great work. Daithi
Wow! I'm wondering why I've never heard this beautiful song. Now I'm also wondering if there are others just as beautiful as this one that might have slipped by me over the years. Great job!
I have discovered so many amazing songs in the past 5 years - some old, some new. Here are three suggestions - "Teller's Tale" by Duke Special, "No Dominion" by Mutual Benefit, and "These Days" by Vince Gill.

The Watchman my brother introduced me to Ger O Donnell music, and I don’t think a day goes by that I feel the most satisfied when I have heard at least one of Ger’s songs or collaborations. Wild blue rose is a favorite along with fairytale that is another collaboration with Trevor. Have you heard the one with Sinead yet??
This is the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard ❤
Absolutely ❤
Easily the best version on UA-cam. Very well done, gents
I can listen to this plus a Million Times. Wonderful 🍀❤️🇮🇪💚😍😍😍😍😍
You'd have to wonder why Jimmy Mccarthy isn't world famous as a song writer and poet.
Anyone who's anyone in the Irish singer scene, has at least one of Jimmy's songs in their repertoire.
A masterpiece of songwriting. What beautiful lyrics and melody!
This is my funeral song. It’s beautiful ❤
Beautiful rendition and perfect harmony thank you.
This is spine-tingling. I just heard this recently by a pub owner in Cork singing it as she worked behind the bar. I have heard other very good versions but this is music at its finest. Thank you.

One of my favourites. Just beautiful had a lovely afternoon listening with Bose headphones. Couldn’t be better.
I listen to this at least once a week, great stuff 👌
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.
For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
Absolutely lovely!!
Superb version 👌

Written by Corkman Jimmy McCarthy. He has a lot of other lovely songs.

With my Mother's maiden name being Manion you think I would have payed more attention to Irish singers and composer's.
Absolutely lovely cover well done. ♥️
Wonderful version of a wonderful song.. Diolch

I sing this song sometimes 😂 but this is beautiful 👍

Any chance of covering Blackbird by the Beatles with your own twist!! Would love to hear Ger on the guitar for that.
Love this also!!
my favorite version of this song by Jimmy McCarthy!
Hi is this in standard tuning cheers lads top class 🎸🎸🎸
I'm now a fan. Wow. Superb.
The Watchman my brother introduced me to Ger O Donnell music, and I don’t think a day goes by that I feel the most satisfied when I have heard at least one of Ger’s songs or collaborations. Wild blue rose is a favorite along with fairytale that is another collaboration with Trevor. Have you heard the one with Sinead yet??
The Watchman it was Sinead O Brien and the title was something about... i

Sean O'Brien it’s up on UA-cam and Facebook, thanks a million

Stunning! Who is this guy? Gifted voice that I can’t stop listening to. Ger needs to get him recorded on other songs.
Hi...he's Trevor Sexton. Theres more of his stuff on youtube...both solo and with Ger. I agree.. he's incredible
This brilliant : have onlky just discovered it
Great job 👍, just wondering what was used to record this, audio and video very good quality
What guitars are these? Ger's looks like an Alvarez or Alvarez-Yairi, but what's Trevor's? Is it a Dowina?
SUPER 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗⚡
What a voice :-)
Nice one lads. Who is this singer? Is there anything else where I can hear his voice? Many thanks.
Pleas do the dimming of the day by Bonnie Raite
