“Simple, ancient, and thunderous.”
Simple, ancient, and thunderous.
My apple tree my brightness
Anyone watching Peaky Blinders will have heard Grace (barmaid and undercover copper) singing what I guess is the traditional version of this song, or poem as it originally was. Nice fiddle action in Sinéad's version. 1
It's Irish! So there. The original version of this is one of the many songs with a Funky Drummer sample.
The best track from an outstanding album.
This song comes from a poem written by Sinead's father to her deceased mother. Sinead did the poem justice, and so did the Dead Can Dance cover. 3
