    Michael Collins
    Original Soundtrack
    Elliot Goldenthal
    Sinéad O'Connor
    *Lyrics
    My young love said to me my mother won't mind,
    And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind,
    He went away from me and this he did say,
    'It will not be long love till our wedding day.'
    He went away from me and he moved through the fair,
    And slowly I watched him move here and move there,
    He went his way homeward with one star awake,
    As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
    I dreamed last night that my young love came in,
    He came in so sweetly, his feet made no din;
    He stepped close beside me, and this he did say,
    'It will not be long love, till our wedding day'
    'It will not be long love, till our wedding day'

    Proud of my Irish heritage, my father was born in County Cork ,Ireland has been on my bucket list for many many years. Somehow I don’t think I will ever get there as I am now 77 years old and in poor health, I will continue to dream of the lush green valleys listen to Celtic songs and relive some of the storiesTold to me by my father

      No, it was not. It long predates any contact between Ireland (and other Celtic nations) and India.
      This form of singing in Ireland has existed for well over a thousand years. It's call Sean-nós. Only difference from that time is that it would have been sung in Irish (Gaelic), not English.

    Sinéad O'Connor's haunting vocals on "She Moved Through the Fair" underscore the senseless tragedy of the climactic scene in Neil Jordan's 1996 film "Michael Collins" at Béal na mBláth in County Cork, where the title character was cruelly ambushed and killed by some of the very same IRA gunmen he once commanded in battle with the British. It's a shame that O'Connor's notoriety and self-generated controversy has often overshadowed her unique talents as a singer. I sincerely hope later generations will come to appreciate her better than my own.

    • @dsddala467

      One person's "self-generated" controversy is another person's truth. She was NOT wrong about the Pope, as we now know, after the church in many countries have paid out millions to people who were abused as children. She was right, but all everyone will remember was her stand that was bold for what was right.

    I'm a proud Irish American, whose ancestors came to the United States from County Clare. Many of them were Fenians, who wanted independence for all of Ireland, and came to the states during the famine. I hope to visit Ireland, especially County Clare, someday. It will be a very happy, but emotional trip, if I'm able to visit.

It was a very moving moment for me, as I admire the Big Man very much, he had a very difficult job to do with the hassle of the Treaty back then, and did what he thought was right at the time.

    Went to the Canary Islands on holiday a few years back, ended up in an Irish bar, there’s a Scottish musician playing Irish rebel music. At some during the gig he takes a small break from playing, he takes a large gulp from his pint of stout and asked those in attendance, anyone here from Galway? Few people in the crowd let a roar. Anyone here from Dublin? The crowd roar. Anyone here from Cork? A couple in the corner of the bar roared yes, we are from Cork, up the rebel county. The musician laughed and shook his head. The rebel county he says? The only fucken rebel that you had in Cork you fucken shot. True story. RIP Michael

      Must have been a Lowland Scot. Cork and Kerry were the heart of Collins's network. A lot of his key people were from there and related to him somehow, as am I. It was a terrible and bloody place during the War of Independence. Some of the most important IRA columns worked in the area and consequently that's where battles like Macroom occurred. That's a "joke" I wouldn't tolerate.
