Retsdon Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) For no particular reason after a glass or four of the homemade wine this evening, I had a recollection of this track and hunted it down. Julie Fowlis singing to her baby. I'd almost forgotten about it, but it's as good as I remember it. I'm just sharing the link for anyone who likes this kind of thing. And for anyone who wants an encore ...https://youtu.be/x7jW5qDexnc?t=146 ...she has such a disciplined voice. But I'm probably prejudiced because I love the Gaelic sound.

NatureBoy Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Lovely tune fella! think a lot of folk feeling reflective at mo. Try Red Dirt Skinners version of Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb. Like folky Floyd. . . Strangely bumped into an old girl friend of mine to day i hadn't seen for 30 years. She reminded me of our tune i hadn't listened to for ages. So i had to look it up and av a listen. Siouxsie And The Banshees Last Beat Of My Heart. A truly great tune! Well worth a listen. Have heard it played at weddings and funerals amongst my crowd. Works for both! She well talented and great writer. Been a fan for years. . . Another lovely song from back then is Kirsty McColl's So Long As You Hold Me.

WestonSalop Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'm an emotional bloke and music often really "gets" me. Sorry to sound so cissy. But Kate Rusby's voice gets me more than most. Beautiful...…….🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got an amazing voice and write some great tunes. Got tickets to see here next month in a huge lovely old wool church local to me in Lavenham Suffolk. Been really looking forward to it as i have worked on that church over the years and the acoustics are amazing! Don't think it will go ahead now but there's nowt on her web site?

Yellow Bear Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Kate is a lovely lass, was even as a kid -- If you can listen to her cover of the Kinks "village green preservation society" = strikes a chord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most favourite songs. The Kinks original was clever but Kate's version is very atmospheric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
