I rarely post any comments, only if I consider what I hear to be unbeatable, thank you.
What a stunningly beautiful voice Siri has. Love this version.
Good heavens, girl! I don't know anybody who DOESN'T know this song! Just go with it...and not too slow...
Respect from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. Thanks for your beautiful voice. Slainte Saor agus Saoirse
Beautiful rendition and a beautiful voice. Thank you, Siri from across the Pond. This song never fails to bring me to tears - it shares that sense of gentle melancholy common to a lot of celtic songs.
In my opinion, this is the most enjoyable cover of the song
don't ever lose that beautiful, natural, emotional, soaring, bright voice. My whole skin is all goosebumps from the first notes. what a beautiful, warm soul is flowing through that voice of yours.
We used stand around the bar singing this beautiful song with my Scottish and Irish friends - fond memories.
This song was the anthem of the Folk Night at The Bell in Burwash, East Sussex in England. The Sunday night folk nights always ended with this wonderful song. Nothing like a pub full of rat arsed patrons in full voice.
Something beautiful and charming about this old Scottish/Irish folk song.
WOW, what a voice. Came across this while listening to Ed Sheeran and Passenger, and I could listen to her voice all night. So pure.
Love the Tempo, love the extraordinary Voice, love you for sharing! ❤
I don't know why but this song really touches my soul. Ever time I ever hear it,, i guess because I took much of my youth in,the blue ridge mountians. Playing in the creeks. And across the glens. And moutiansides. Remeber the mountain laurel blooming in,the spring. Every thing comes alive in,the spring time. And well all go,together. Some day. Thanks
Same. Tears nearly everytime I hear it.
I do like her voice with this song
It has been 7 years since my aunt's funeral and this powerful song can still reduce me to a blubbering puddle of tears.
Beautiful version. I’m from Greenock on the West coast of Scotland. It’s about people for me. Reminds me of my grandmother in the 80’s. Simpler times. Let’s go back there on your vocal time machine.xxx
Scotland a lovely land greetings from southern ireland,
Tears tears tears, life goes by so fast.....loved it
Very true - it goes far too fast. Slainte !
You're right, it does. I hope we can all meet one day and have nice time talking some time
What a lovely voice singing one of my favorite songs!
Beautiful version thankyou...love from Scotland.
Tears of joy...thank you so much for this beautiful rendition
Always a big yes please do not go without me ❤❤
Watching on St. Paddy's 2021, hoping COVID lockdown allows travel this year so we can fall in love with new landscapes. What a lovely voice.
I first heard this song at a very special children's summer camp in the Northwest that my parents met at and all 3 of us my brother and myself and sister went to every summer.
Her voice is golden, love this, a treasure!
Her voice vibrates my heart strings. She owns this song like Patsy Cline owned “Crazy”. Well done.
"Ah, it's not about a person, it's about a landscape" lol)) So true)
Beautiful voice, great cover!
Just to point out this classic is based on a Scottish song adapted and written by an Irishman
Ithink it was written by Francie macpeake from northern ireland one of the macpeake folk group,
Amazing, absolutely amazing ❤
Love this, been searching for the right feel, right version. Think I've finally found it . Thankyou
Give a listen to Rachel Croft
So beautiful... I had to let this comment!!
Brilliant track, and thanks for sharing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏴
with tears in my eyes...I will go...
The lyrics are based on a Scottish custom from long ago. The girls would decide when they were “ready” to “receive” suitors. When they were, they would wear a sprig of Thyme on their lapel to tell the young men they were ready. The boys would then present a girl wearing such a sprig of Thyme with a bunch of flowers to demonstrate his interest in her. The song starts with an impatient boy who is wanting a particular girl to give him the signal. He is rushing her. He promises to heap a “bower” with flowers to show how much he loves her.
The line which you mention I think is not about the landscape at all but a realisation that if one girl is not interested in him another will be. The unstoppable force of love…
Thank you.
It's not a Scottish song it was written by Francie McPeake who was from Belfast, his family still perform this a few generations on
@@MrRupw No, not true, Francis McPeake did not write it, he just adapted it from the original which was written by a Scot. The lyrics are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810) and the tune was composed by Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780-1829). The lyrics are clearly of Scottish not Irish origin. They are riddled with Scottish idioms.
It is not even “Traditional” it is a copyrighted song/tune which performers should pay to perform in public.
If you have to base your comments on a write up found on wikipedia, then at least read the whole history of the song.
@@mfinn7185 I know the whole history of the song. The point here is when and where it was written and by whom. It was clearly written in Scotland by a Scot.
Thank you x🏴
Great interpretation, Thanks. There's also a 4th verse. The lyric was penned by poet Robert Tannahill from my home town here in Paisley, western Scotland. My mum lived on Tannahill's Street.... obviously not at the same time. Tannahill was a friend of Robert Burns. Sadly he committed suicide.
Sounds like you might know a bit about folk music of Scotland. I've been trying to find someone who might have heard some of Evan McColl's songs or put his poetry to music. Have you heard of the Mountain Minstrel? Sorry for my sideways comment but I know that Evan was a bit of a Robbie Burns fan.
Wow! absolute beautiful voice ❤️
HEAVEN it does not get better Thanks so much!!!!!!!
I just loved the way You have told the story, awesome version
"Siri, play my favorite song, Wild Mountain Thyme"
Det är inte ofta man hör en sån klockren röst. Amazing.
beautiful sung with grace, thank you! ♫¸.•*¨♥✿♪ ☘️ ☘️
Very fine Interpretation!!...
❤❤❤. Q canción 🎶, tan bonita. Una maravilla. Desde Barcelona. Besitos 💋
Sweet voice! Beautiful old Irish song!
Scottish
It's not Irish?
I only know it as Scottish.
Your both right, it's Scots Irish.
@@martintierney5397 Even better 😀
absolutely beautiful
The three hundred and forty seventh version I have heard of this song . I like it .
A big big yes ❤❤😅😊
Nice version of my favourite song (I’m an exiled Scot). Id like to suggest that folks should also listen to the Corries live version wherein audience participation is so unbelievably good, almost like a choir backing up two incredibly gifted (former) troubadours… the CORRIES. Cheers 🥃
Hi Gordon, have listened to the Corries yeah unbelievable. First heard this thanks to the Byrds back in 65.Heard many versions over the years but no matter, such a beautiful song hits home every time. You'r never exiled pal, once a flower always a flower. Stay safe
Thanks, Jon … are you related to JS of the Lovin’ Spoonful, one of my favourite bands from many moons ago ? 😂
@@gordongavin9448 Unfortunately no, Spoonful one of my favourite bands to. Saw John in Hyde Park back around 1970
@@jonsebastian4823 must have been around the same time I saw Eric Burdon in Hyde Park, Jon ... "Summer in the City" for me in those days. Cheers :-)
@@gordongavin9448 Yup I was there to for Burdon and War and Blind Faith in 69
This was a really good performance for this tune. I'd mostly heard it being sung by drunkin' Scots, English and Irish folks. Your version was one of the better versions. Thanks Kiddo!
WOW!
Beautiful
Lovely
I have been living under a rock. Thank you!
This is my favorite song
Love how her voice rides above the melody.
Siri: Sing "Wild Mountain Thyme."
OK, I HAD to do it.
This version is my best!! ❤❤❤
Magnificent x
great version!
Brilliant ! From a Scotsman ❤️
Awesome version. Love it.
Will Ye Go Lassie Go
The Corries
O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
The wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And 'round it I will pile
All the wild flowers o' the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will range through the wilds
And the deep glen sae dreary
And return wi' their spoils
To the bower o' my dearie
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
If my true love she'll not come
Then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Brilliant btw great voice great tune u just make it sound better ❤☝️👌

@2:49 This is the best version.

That's for sure Yes I will go ❤❤
A big yes ❤❤
Just lovely
A big yes ❤❤😅
What a sweet voice.
Very nice...I think Siri would be an interesting person to know :-)
Nice rendition of a classic.
Very lovely song indeed and a true Irish classic. I play this in G on my harmonica nice and slow. It is truly a beautiful song that takes your heart and mind to one of my favorite countries.
Not an irish classic at all. Scottish classic. Doh!
@@ObePawnKenobi written in Ireland by an Irishman .. doh
@@ObePawnKenobi ah yes Scottish classic she’s singing .... nope . You’re being petty , this is an Irish song and you know it
@@ObePawnKenobi and you say the Melody is based on it ?? Have you heard Braes of Balquhither, please tell me where ? the melody is based on an old Scottish traditional tune The Three Carls o' Buchanan!
Another Scottish song that the Irish try to steal and claim it as their own. The word “lassie” generates from Scotland and Northern England - bit of a giveaway !!!
This is one of my favorite songs, tbh. However, I've never heard a rendition with pluck or around but always pull and among. That threw me off, but she has a lovely voice.
I have only heard it with “pull”, but I think I like “pluck” better.
Goodsebumps is right.
This song cover is everywhere but no one does it with a Scottish video, it's the Flower Of Scotland the purple Scottish thistle. I love Being A Scottish man and bagpiper
Wowza! xx that's all. it takes an American to nail it! lol
Beautiful actual beautiful. I want to hear you sing the proper version of auld lang syne
Great
That was wonderful. She made that song as much American as much as it is Scottish.
Thee definitive version of this is the Corries the one with the audience comin in ... Roy Williamson and Luke Kelly the best ballad singers this here word has ever seen ...
❤❤ A BiG BIG YES
I think we should welcome her in as an honorary Celt
теплая песня, я люблю её
She fairs rightly here,
As Eli Wallace said in the movie The Good the Bad and the Ugly said SHOOT SHOOT NOT TALK Thats the reason I say SING SING NOT TALK.
Hi Ernest! I'm not sure this comment is fair. First, note that in the description, there's a time stamp for "song begins at 2:48". So you can easily skip the talking. Second, you'll notice that this is from a live show. Part of a live show is banter with the audience. The audience appreciated the introduction, which is why I left it in. This video is intended to put you in the place of an audience member. It's not a music video. And again, if you don't want to hear the intro, it's easy to skip ahead with the time stamp in the description.
@@BrianHagertyLawyer OK I will next time.
Ekspresi indahmu.. menghanyutkan.. melodi yg indah👍🕊️🏞️✨
My Ireland. This is scottish.
Beautiful!... Uh, you should drink a few beers and listen to The Byrds version from 5th Dimension, too. Nice buzz/folk/Irish dirge-vibe. Cheers! (But, it's slightly psychedelic, 'cause there's an electric-guitar.)
Penelope Houston's post-punk band The Birdboys did a lovely version worth checking out.
Wow Brilliant Performance Honey XXX
Lovely performance. I don’t follow what you’re saying about the switch. Still sounds like a human thing to me. I always change that part though
Please tell me what strings are you using? Such full sound.
I checked with Siri, and unfortunately, she does not recall what strings she used. Sorry!
Thank you for checking. Trade secrets…….
Why not sing all the verses?
I want to meet you and sing with you
Good for tutorial… borderlined but calm and nice interprétation … it may loose its effect if it is interpretated slower
Love her voice and sense of humor.
Disappointed at the lack of awkward interpretive dance.
