I love the language in the long version, and the revenant at the end gives me chills; makes me cry.
It's funny that this song calls to me. I'm not a big fan of murder and suicide songs, especially 22 verse ones... the real test will be if I can get my friends to listen to it when I sing it.
Martin, you said "No Gaelic on this one", do you mean, you don't have it, or that it was written in English?
Blessings,
Barbara
