We were privileged to attend Mary Black's concert at the Great American Music Hall on O'Farrell St. in San Francisco a while back. She informed us that this was her last concert; that she was retiring from the concert circuit. We will miss you sorely, Mary Black! I went to your every concert whenever you came here. (And your daughter Róisín O did a set with you one time. That was a grand concert indeed! Perhaps she'll come through the area again.) The day after the concert, there was an all day rather eclectic musical festival on the 1890's ferryboat, the Eureka, out on the Hyde Street Pier (the San Francisco Maritime Nat'l Historic Park at Fisherman's Wharf, with turn-of-the-century historic ships floating in the Bay). You were with you brothers, Michael and Shay. Such an extraordinary family!

I agree about the Irish, they do know how to sing a song. She's AMAZING!!! This is the best rendition of this song.Long live Mary Black&Ireland!

Glorious song. Great version by Mary with Declan and others back in 1992. Richard and Linda, Bonnie and Paul Brady do very creditable versions and are all worthy. No doubt other fine versions exist, too. I see no point in arguing which is "best". As Shakespeare said "comparisons are odorous" ;). Let 100 flowers bloom.

Well said! Everybody will have their favourite versions of course but there's no way of finding the 'best'. I have heard several versions of this song and I like them all. Its just a beautiful song.

Apart from Bonnie Raitt, Linda Thompson, Alison Krauss, even Richard Thompson, David Gilmour, etc. etc., to name a few who I think sing it better. It’s that vibrato that drives me mad.

@iambjcincle3991 Жыл бұрын

I think her vibrato is spot-on with this song. She gave a nearly flawless performance of this one and it gave me chills. HOWEVER!!! You are SO on-point with vibrato. I am so sick and tired of hearing people just massacre a song with ridiculous attempts at vibrato (Stevie Nicks sounds like a freaked out goat, Madonna with whatever the hell she does, etc.). As for your other statement regarding David Gilmour's, et al, versions, I totally have to agree there, too. David's voice isn't flawless but the emotion and his interpretation are just simply incredible. As a matter of fact, that's how I first heard this song! I just happened to stumble upon it one night and it did something to me inside...to the core of my being. He NAILED IT. I must confess, though, that I also believe she did, too, with her interpretation. So far, though, not even the original compares with David's version (but that's strictly MY OPINION and I realize that many will disagree vehemently with me). Well done.

@kenb735 Жыл бұрын

I only became aware of Mary Black in 1989 when she came out with the incredibly mysterious song "Columbus" by Noel Brazil. The second verse begins "See how the cormorant swoops and dives..." I played the song for a friend because I had not idea what a cormorant is. I didn't know it was that bird we'd see diving into the Atlantic off the coast of South Carolina every summer.

Mary always makes a song her own - and then gives it to us in unmatched perfection using the beautiful instrument of her voice. There is nothing more calming, more healing than listening to Mary sing - and I am so grateful that Ireland has shared her with the world. We love her in the U.S. and I had the privilege of hearing her sing in Atlanta a week ago.

A broken promise or a broken heart Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away I need you at the dimming of the day Come the night, you're only what I want Come the night, you could be my confident I see you on the street in company Why don't you come and ease your mind with me? I'm living for the night we steal away I need you at the dimming of the day Oh I need you at the dimming of the day

@asengupta100 This was the best version up until 2008, when AJ Lee sang it at a wedding, and it was upleaded onto KZfaq. AJ was only 9 at the time, and I have never heard a more naturally gifted singer. The complete lack of artifice in her version is so perfect it leaves one breathless and weeping every time it's played.

@asengupta100 I've always loved Mary Black's singing. I have lots of her music. She knows how to wring the emotion from a song. But I like AJ Lee's version a bit better because she was not trying to pump emotion out, she was just singing with perfect innocence and perfect technique. If you get the chance, listen to how AJ turns, 'You know just where I keep my better si-i-i-i-i-i-iiiide...' into a rising series of 7 notes, instead of adding 'Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh--ooohhh'... after the phrase. Magical.
