My gosh it sounds like he's having a heart attck trying to sing this song. Keith has the more clean smooth sounding voice for this song. Keith sounds a lot better!

Ask(dot)Com for "lyrics + name of song" - there are many sites that provide free lyrics. U may have to hunt a bit.===Do you all think this is a LOVE SONG or an ANTI- WAR SONG, or a song about FREEDOM?

Saw Brady sing this live for the first time at the Cropredy festival earlier this month, his performance of this song literally brought a tear to my eye. Star of the show!!I'm from Belfast and had travelled to the festival at an invitation from an old schoolmate who lives in England now. We listened to Planxty and Hard Station all those years ago at school in Armagh, and almost 30 years later he reproduced the songs as if he wrote them yesterday - his energy is fantastic!

You know, this has a Bruce Springsteen feel to it.

I have heard this beautiful song for years, but, shamefully, never listened to the lyrics. Admittedly, the beautiful melody overwhelms the lyrics. Certainly, Brady's version of his own song is emotional. Young Keith Harkin does the song a favor because his singing diction is good. He brings out the anti-war message well. I need a copy of Brady's album now! |
