The long and the short of it is I'm a strange imagalgamantion of different types of music... But none of them suck.
I love this song! I'd give anything to see/hear Stephen Collins preform his song. Such a heart-warming song that has been spreading love & kindness for 150+ years now! My 17yr old daughter, along with MANY, MANY other young people, recently had the opportunity to hear this song. The actor, Jojo Fleites, who plays Carlos Cervantez, in a spinoff for Supernatural titled The Winchester's, sang this song. The young fans that never heard this song before have been going crazy since that episode aired! I'm 43yrs old & he even had my emotions on high alert! It's amazing how so many different people, instruments, etc, can make one feel like when listening to this song. For me, right now I'm going through the same thing I've been dealing with the last 8yrs now. Facing another anniversary without having my late husband. Last month, 2/23, marked 8yrs since his passing. Next Thursday would have been our 21st Wedding anniversary! This Saturday marks 1yr that I lost my Daddy. Also, on March 23rd, 2022, I buried my Daddy. Being Daddy's Little Girl, this last year has been a VERY HARD year for me! I'll admit, it's been a LOT of me leaning on my 19&17YO when I least expect it. I just hope that there's no more hard times to come! I'm going back to work soon & I'll be able to make extra income to help with our daughters college educations! Start putting back to pay for their weddings, etc. I KNOW, no matter how hard you work, there's ALWAYS something that is going to get in the way of making life easier. BUT, I'm determined now more than ever, to get passed ALL of the hard times in our lives!!
How phantastic it must have been to make music with these talented sisters. To listen to their beautiful music. How can a man cheat on a woman like Kate ?
(See Aro tej message, that's where I learned what the song is about) There were no cukoos, no sycamores we played about the forest floor underneath the silver maple the balsams and the sky We popped the heads off dandelions assuming roles from nursery rhymes rested on the riverbank and grew up bye and bye, and grew up bye and bye Frail my heart apart and play me a little shady grove ring the bells of Rhymney till they ring inside my head forever bounce the bow, rock the gallows for the hangman's reel and wake the Devil from htis dream I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan And if you were Willie Moore and I was Barbara Allen or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door a-weepin' and a-pinin', for love a-weepin' and a-pinin', for love Frail my heart apart and play me a little shady grove ring the bells of Rhymney till they ring inside my head forever bounce the bow, rock the gallows for the hangman's reel and wake the Devil from htis dream I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan
Keep the kids are you looking at a very much like a great way for you to the right thing to remember that you have any questions or concerns about hard to say no more
A soulful rendition by four great voices who have the depth of understanding and feeling to convey what Foster understood and felt when he wrote the song as the famine victims poured into America. Thank God America was an available refuge for the victims of Brit empire arrogance after the brave founding fathers threw them out in 1776. America was ordained by God to help the Irish “poor”, in truth “victims” of evil, created by the arrogant aristocrats of England.
Great video...remember seeing Maura years ago at Wheatland Music Festival in Remus, Michigan. De Dannan had performed there a few years previously, and were well respected and a definite crowd pleaser. So grateful I got to see her. Sorry I missed seeing her with this amazing group.
