    I loved this song since I heard it on the into the north dreadnoughts album, and this version might be my favourite now, very well done and a beautiful rendition

    Great job! Your sound is excellent. Would you share what your microphone setup is with me? I'm looking to record my own songs and I want my audio to be as good as this.

      @@BardofCornwall Hi, it's me again. It looks like you use the mount that comes with the mic and have no issues with vibrations. Would you mind sharing what pop filter you use? Thanks!

    You have an amazing voice. But why is this so much sadder in English than in French?

      It is because by tradition, satire, and sarcasm is at the core of traditional French folk songs.
