🎉🎉😢❤❤

What are they complaining about ?This is a stunning version of the song.Should be very proud of this!

❤

I'm aware of that interpretation but I think it's also a metaphor for a tragic love that will never be and not necessarily suggesting the entire point of view is from an angel. My intent was to share what I had read about Patrick Kavanagh, though I couldn't remember his name, lmao. I don't like to discuss song meanings because I like people to draw their own meanings. Regardless of what the author's meaning is. I feel the same way about my music. I have a meaning, but I like people to project their own feelings and experiences into it. In that way, songs can be reborn infinitely.

Yes, Exactly!

Sorry Van Morrison is the definitive version of this song

Actually there was a version done on the late late show with Imelda may ,finbarr Fury ,lisa Reilly and Shsne McGowan which was brilliant with John Sheenan on violin

Please enlighten me; exactly how do ya determine what the fookin "definitive" version is. Fookin bunch of pharisees.

The only definitive version of anything that van Morrison did was raving lunacy.

@@skemfirst4973 um, no. It's Luke Kelly... van Morrison 🤣

Agreed John

Love this version Hannah you are doing a great job a Dublin musician who lived in jamaica for a while I recently made a reggae version of this song check it out I would be grateful I'm Mr Celtic Reggae raglan road youtube ☘

Lmao thank you, I talk so much 😅

"other pieces of hers" you mean other songs she sings ,they are'nt her pieces ,anyway this gal is way way better than Loreena McKennit by miles

Thank you so much! I've actually done a number of Christmas songs in her style at a Christmas show I've been doing for years that I still don't have footage from 😅 I love Loreena McKennitt! I've seen her live and she is so incredible!!

M'eh, that'd be Luke Kelly but sure, Sinead was a grand rendition.

Have to agree. Such a beautiful song should be sung without additives or changing words and notes. But good voice.

I used her form, and I played my violin solo very similar to the version played by the cellist in Loreena McKennitt's version. I didn't do it exactly like her but in her style. I prefer to change pronouns to sing from my perspective but I know people have strong opinions about that. Thanks!

+Hannah Kirby There's an Irish girl one KZfaq called Sheena, I think she lives in America now but she's really good check her wee versions of Irish songs out. As I said I wasn't trolling and cheers for the reply, very honest answer. Keep up the great work. Maybe play over here at some stage x

It HAD to be changed to be sung by a woman. It was grand!

Good question and great answer I love the emotion in this I'm a Dublin musician I've lived in jamaica for a couple of years I just put my first song on KZfaq it's a reggae version of RAGLAN ROAD not nearly and I say not nearly as good as you Hannah but I do try and keep a bit of Dublin in the reggae song hope you guys check it out and would really be glad if u liked it ☘slainté ☘ missing home tonight listening to this 💚☘

@@kirbymusic1 hlo Hannah love your singing and fiddle playing ,,,but you didn't just change from her to him ,,but you changed some vital words ,,i don't think you can do that with what was a poem ,,, for example it's " true gods of sound and stone" rather than gods of sound and time,,,a few other changes ,,i think you don't need to change the words ..

Thank you!! I respect the camp of not changing pronouns in songs but I prefer to sing from my perspective. In that way, I am able to pull from memories of my unrequited love and sing with an emotion that I couldn't if I wasn't empathizing in that way. I really appreciate the way you've asked this question. Some people seem disgusted at the pronoun change 😅

Sean Rasta with a name like yours and listening to this song I had to reach out I'm a musician from Dublin and I lived in jamaica for 3 years I just put my first song on KZfaq it's Mr Celtic Reggae raglan road I really hope you like it my friend ☘

@@kirbymusic1 love your version of this song hope you checked out mine and liked it not nearly as good as you but it's definitely different 😂💚

interesting where did you hear that,,,,,

Just dark Irish depressing love stories.

Thank you! Why can't it be an older woman falling in love with a younger raven-haired man? I know the "keep pronouns the same" camp is strong and I respect y'all, but I prefer to sing songs from my perspective. I'm better able to sing from a more emotional place.

@@kirbymusic1 I do get it and I would normally agree except that in this case it's a true story and I want keep that truth alive. But that's just me. What you say is valid. Clearly, from the song, "ghosting" people was around long before it was trendy to do it.

Let's hear your version.

@@tonycurtin2376 Moronic thing to say

@@barrybrindle6959, we still haven't heard your version.

@@tonycurtin2376 And you still haven't understood that you don't need to hear my version. You might think it's good, you might also think that shit tastes like chocolate. I'm of a different opinion

@@barrybrindle6959 let's hear your version.

Fuck off u have no clue of class and excuse my manners but I do find it hard to have manners when dealing with a person that has none, Hannah luke kelly and Patrick kavanagh would be impressed and proud I'm sure 🍀☘💚👍

@@mrcelticreggae1874 people can have different opinions and I'm inclined to agree with him. The tune has changed too much and she warbles and does all that shite waay too often.

Luke Kelly's version is the one I set the standard to. That said, this is not a bad version at all.
