Having known two of these performers for many years, and seen them progress in their careers, I can only say that they do Cape Breton proud! Their talent is only eclipsed by their pure, loving, gentle spirits! Musically diversified, and always humble in spite of so much fame so young! I never tire of hearing them perform! I look forward to hearing a lot more from you, Ciaran and Fiona!
This song pulls me in. Deep. I can close my eyes and let myself get lost in the music. I need this. It calms the night terrors so I can sleep. No disrespect to Tom, I love his music too (Tango 'til they're sore is AWESOME), but this is perfect. Thank you Fiona et al.
I just listened to the version at the fundraiser in 2002. Fiona's voice has not changed one iota since. Perhaps a bit more resonant, but naught else. She had it then, she has it now.
For you, my sweet lover, Kaye, on this this your first day in heaven. Rest in peace, my dearest darling. I miss you so... but my tears are falling to make love grow. June 2, 2019
@@lalanorth2674 You are so kind and empathetic... Thankyou! 💜🤗💜 I wish you well too! If you knew the whole story of me and my darling Kaye, you would see what a great and enduring love we had. It went beyond our great age difference, beyond our distance of being stuck in two separate countries, beyond the conventions of our time. Kaye had a golden heart, and her love knew no bounds. Thanks again for your sweet response, and I wish you well, and I also wish that you might know a love as strong and tender as hers and mine. 🏵️💜🤗💜🏵️
Heavenly. This is the Celtic soul; saddened by centuries of sorrow and so achingly beautiful you cry & long to be one with them at the same time! Nothing's touched like this since Dolly Parton's Crippled Bird.
our history is a sad one, but we are none the less proud. their struggle is the reason I became a Marine, to protect people from the terrors that my ancestors endured.
Right on !! I Do aswell Only the power of a great music can make us real man cry but just because we are big tuff strong men doesn't mean we don't have hearts and if this song doesn't make a Man cry that man has no heart or feelings and I wish never to know anyone of that sort
There's no word that exists an any form of written language that could ever possibly do this a turn of Justice that is soulfully worthy of such all we can do is open our hearts and listen
I fell asleep down by the stream And there I had the strangest dream And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows A briar and a rose There's a tree in the forest But I don't know where I built a nest out of your hair And climbing up into the air A briar and a rose I don't know how long it has been But I was born in Brennan's Glenn And near the end of spring there grows A briar and a rose I picked the rose one early morn I pricked my finger on a thorn They'd grown so high It's winding wove the briar around the rose I tried to tear them both apart I felt a bullet in my heart And all dressed up in springs new clothes The briar and the rose And when I'm buried in my grave Tell me so I will know Your tears will fall To make love grow The briar and the rose
David Stricklin Hopefully you´ll teach me how to love voices that are soulful and beatiful... AND shallow, and commercial focused, and tasteless. Its not only about the shape of the object. its about guts.
+Marc Morueco I concur with the spirit of your second post, Marc, but not your first. To my ears, this is an extraordinarily sensitive version of a fine song, delivered with a degree of emotional maturity that belies the performers' tender years. It beats Rod Stewart's appalling version of 'Downtown Train' by a country mile.
her voice is of an angel. makes a numb man feel again..makes me smile to be able to hear such beautiful music
one of the best songs ever to come out cape breton by the Cottars

+Allen Jacques thanks for your service!
Bravo Zulu Marine. I am also of Celtic heritage and I grew up in New York, and I enlisted in the Navy for the same reason. Thank you for your service
It's also written by Tom Waits, so there's that...
Such a beautiful rendition of this song. How very sad that so few people have gotten to hear it.
this group is Awesome. They are the best at this song than any other group. Beautiful Voices.
I was on their concert in Danmark..and I am amazed by this young people and their music...Fantastic
By Tom Waits, for you my beloved rose of love & friendship, my MG~
I cry every time. Gulp. Extraordinary record. I hope Tom Waits loves it as much as I do. :-)

What can anyone possibly say that would do this justice?
There's no word that exists an any form of written language that could ever possibly do this a turn of Justice that is soulfully worthy of such all we can do is open our hearts and listen
I found them and this song back when they were this young. I still can't get enough of this song.
Beautiful
shirt tail cousins, they are, thanks to Uncle Ronnie. I love the music. I am the rose.
very good rendition .lovely :)
I thank tom waits would like this.
At first, I didn't like it, but it encapsulated me, nevertheless, boy o.
Where can I find the lyrics for this song? The other version I can find lyrics for just not this 1
I fell asleep down by the stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
A briar and a rose
There's a tree in the forest
But I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
A briar and a rose
I don't know how long it has been
But I was born in Brennan's Glenn
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose
I picked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
They'd grown so high
It's winding wove the briar around the rose
I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet in my heart
And all dressed up in springs new clothes
The briar and the rose
And when I'm buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall
To make love grow
The briar and the rose
Why can't this be made available for people to buy? I just don't understand this at all.
amazing way to ruin a song
You obviously don't have an ear for a beautiful, soulful voice.
