The simplicity and introspection expressed by the words and character of the melody gives the song its power. A stadium rock backing pulls it in a different emotional direction and audience. Something's lost and something's gained. As a native Gael, brought up in that musical tradition, Maureen Hegarty's version hits home far more for the same reasons she sang it the way she did. I make no excuses for my culture, but I do not feel it worthy to "flame" anyone else for theirs. Peace.
This is my favourite version of this song by far.Its just stunning!Plus,good call on including the lyrics.I play and sing this song but when I first learned it,I found it hard to find lyrics becasue there are several different versions!Class song!
A whole week I'm listening this song...incredible addiction! I discovered her only few time ago and I'm completely found of her. I have read her biography (even incredible...) and I feel in this song all the intensity I read. Thank you (and sorry for grammatical mistakes...)
Amazing how each artist brings their own Spirit to such a stirring song of love, life, land & liberty. Her power stirs the ancient shadows within us all.
you all need your hearing fix and a large dose of artistic appreciation tablets. this is a beautiful song lifted by someone who has more talent and feel than anyone in Ireland or the world.
@KatJaguar1122 But it seems you have heard her true spirit come thru on this album, yet she has MANY. She has an amazing body of work, and is a genuine example of a human being.
@KaptKan1 you misunderstand her if you think she is demented. She has passion for expressing truth above all, even if that truth is misunderstood by others. You should educate yourself about her more. But it seems you have heard her true spirit come thru on this album, but she has MANY.

"My Lagan Love"(along with "Burning Bridge") appears on the B-side of Kate Bush's 12inch EP "Cloudbusting" of 1985. Kate uses her own lyrics and sings so beautifully here. Enjoy. watch?v=vHG1MwSN5eE

@chee6060 Oh dear, this song was "never meant to be a(sic) upbeat rock type song". This is Sinead's interpretation of her idea of what the song is about. Artistic freedom anyone? The Corrs ffs.
If u don't think this is a political song then I believe you can only half enjoy it. Listen to words like "steal" and "creep" and imagery like insects, undergrowth and mist. To me it spells out the need for stealth and living in the shackles of oppression. Importantly though, the oppressed are fighting back " in sweet and undertones the song of hearts desire" In my opinion this is a rebel song.
I really like Sinead on some of her songs but I think she murdered this beautiful, tender old song. Not many people can sing this song, but if anyone would like to hear a beautiful version that isn't overdone, I'd suggest Roisin O'Reilly .
+Louise Price Sinead did this song justice. she is beautiful. her soul is strong and soft. this is how she felt the words and how she accordingly sang it.
I don't know what you mean? I take it you're not irish by the use of the work Gaelic, we don't say gaelic. I think the captures the essence of irish culture
@ulstermourne You have to be kidding. Not even close to the best. She needs acoustics to help her. Listen to Dusty Springfield, Kate Bush & the Corrs. This song was never meant to be a upbeat rock type song. Oh, by the way, even Sinead would tell you that her Idol was Dusty Springfield.
Sinéad and her band have lost so much of the longing and beauty of this song. It works OK for a pop/world audience but very much misses the mark on a Gaelic cultural level. I acknowledge that she is a very talented artist nonetheless and no disrespect intended.
Holy crap! This is supposed to be a love ballad and she sounds like she wants to beat the crap out'a whoever she's singing about! No thanks, I'll stay with Lynn Hilary of Celtic Woman rendition. Christ, at least Lynn sounds like she loves the person the song is about.
