it is fun to compare this version with "lily of the west" with Mark Knopfler and the Chieftains as it is the same story, same tune, different lyrics and a similar deep emotion. Who knows maybe some day Danny Lanois will do an instrumental of it on an old guitar;

In my humble opinion the Paul Brady version is unsurpassable. But what do I know!

Steven McGee

Ha, what a kicker! Ididn't realize, thanks. Which one is Christy, the second on the right with those unruly muttonchops? I'm trying to work ot a version of this song to sing and play on the guitar, and I love this version.

that is a much younger christy.hence the similarity

Steven McGee

Completely underated version of the song, different but comparable to Christy Moore's on many levels.

Que belleza. Tenía quince años cuando la escuché por primera vez. En Chile, a todo un mundo de distancia. Me trasladaba una y otra vez a un mundo que no conocía y que no hacía otra cosa que emocionarme. Cuantas noches me dormí escuchándola. Cuantas veces se me escapaban las lágrimas, añorando algo que nunca había conocido. Que raro, verdad?. Ahora, casi 30 años después, la he recuperado y me sigue oprimiendo el corazón cada vez que la oigo. Gracias

Listen to the arrangement and watch his right hand...

I have heard Christy speak many times and for many years - I'm from north Kildare and the same age.

If you want the guy to weep then Paul Brady's version isn't going to do the trick since his wailing sucks all the emotion out of the song.

Listen to Paul Brady's version and weep

Urm... Have you ever heard Christy speak? This is his accent. The reason it might sound a little more high-pitched and leprechaun-y is partially the song's pitch and partially because this is pretty early stuff; when he was younger this was just his voice, I guess it got deeper as he got older, like many men's voices do.

What an awful bloody poser Moore is - the exaggerated brogue in all his work drives me up the wall. It's like Donovan in his late career singing in a false Scots accent - utterly devoid of authenticity

I don't hate this. An old cashier at an antique shop suggested this band to me. I am charmed by this song. I was skeptical at first when he mentioned the genre but this is unique and tasteful.

I reckon that Paul Brady's is the best version IMO although I like this one as well

Tardé más de veinte años en volver a escuchar esta canción, pero desde que la oí, con quince años apenas, no me dejó. La escuchaba de noche, antes de dormirme, en un pais tan lejano de la música celta como sólo puede ser Chile. Con los años iba apareciendo de vez en cuando, justo antes de dormirme, como esas cosas que te han marcado no sabes bien porqué. La próxima vez que me ponga a un timón la llevare en mi mente. Gracias Dela, eres un hacha.

Simply the best... What a great band and song.

came here looking for the Trapezoid performance of this. This is the only one i found with the same tempo & harmony.. One of the loveliest melodies & stories...
