Jack, yes, Celtic ThuLnder may be a overproduced, but I'd never think of comparing them to Danial O'Donnell.

But thanks for pointing out that the English is not a translation of the Irish.

When I heard Damien McGinty sing the song recently on PBS, it was entirely in Gaelic.
And I thought he did a fine job of it.   (But what do I know?)

Anyway, I think it's a beautiful song.

BTW, I tried to find Dougie MacLean's version on YouTube but to no avail.

And I'd love to hear you sing it, Kendall.
