While everyone else listens to the Top 25 and believe those are the artists...a woman like Eleanor McEvoy is preciously for those who are in the "know" of what real powerful music and lyrics are. It didn't take long for Emmylou Harris & Mary Black to cover it. In Ireland Eleanor's album with this song was the best selling album in that country's history. Eleanor is well-known, but she deserves far more attention for both her performances and her work -- in the US. She is without a doubt one of the best female singers and composers. Her work is not product, it's art.
Ok people, let's make this clear: This song is by Eleanor McEvoy. It was written by Eleanor McEvoy. It was the title track on the album "A Woman's Heart". When the album first came out, Eleanor was unknown, so the song was recorded with Mary Black singing backup. It is NOT a Mary Black song, but this confusion has followed both singers for decades. For years Mary Black politely refused to sing this song live, explaining that it is not hers; while Eleanor gets accused of covering her own song.
English is not my 1st language, I remember I heard for the first time this song on radio, probably I was 10-11 years old, 2008, 2009?. I couldn't find it until Derry girls. I am so grateful.🙏🏽
Much as dreams and love may seem wasted at the moment, it’s never too late for that wonderful life you’ve always pictured. There’s no reason to give up ✊🏽
I love this beautiful song, have listened to it countless times and thought about my special wonderful best friend who I loved more than anything else on this earth for over twenty years:) live in hope that one day it will be us;) both text, melody and vocals are put together in a wonderful way ....
Quite an uplift to hear this song again. Beautiful music . My favourite singer of the time was Mary Black but there were some great singers of that era who are still wonderful to listen to. I have really enjoyed this programme on RTE1 tonight. Thanks you to all those artists for portraying the wonderful talent that you all had.
Me too! I’m loving this show so much, I’m not even British or Irish but this show is just so charming and has a way of feeling nostalgic even for people that aren’t from Derry I think
ooooh one of my favourite...... and believe me for average non english listeners, a real pleasure to think you've achieved something with your 6 years of english as foreign language,!
Well said, my friend. Quality music transcends genre. You clearly have your own real ears, not flaps of skin manipulated by recording companies' marketing svengalis and A&R image-crafting people. Long may you deeply enjoy both styles, and indeed all, styles of music - as do I.
my favorite since I was a child and now a woman, it's still rocking my heart. well done. I feel every part of this song to the core of my fragile bones. it's well done. super well done and I appreciate the words so much.
What a beautiful song. I've listened to so many versions of it, but this one brought a tear to my eye. I dedicate it to a very special person in my life! (you know who you are!) 💐☘🇮🇪💚
Thanks for posting this great video with lovely photos of this incredibly talented artist.This song is so beautiful and the harmonies are amazing!! I had the pleasure of seeing Eleanor in concert twice and am looking forward to the next time!!
Right here right now this song grabs my heart..I don't know why but I seem to find men who only want thin model women..I am a giving loving woman who loves to pamper a man..I can't help being me..when I get to my normal weight he will come into my life...
has to be one off the best songs ever iv been listening to this song for about as long as it has been released. when it comes to a sing song at the end off a night out or a party i just have to sing it..
Superba piesa! Superb canta si interpreta.....e genul de muzica la care nu poti renunta....este ea; Lene Marlin; Kate Melua...si multi alti artisti.....Nice!
This song touches me right to my spine even though I am not a woman. Bless to all the wonderful women out there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Lawrence, maybe one day I'll meet a guy just like you that has a heart.xx

Eleanor had me at "Precious Little" over 20 years ago. Dont know why this exquisite artist has not received the her due in the U.S.
In Brazil US is nothing, this is a song!
Ashling Murphy brought me here..
May she rest in peace..🙏
If only we sung more songs 😭 Slovakian men wouldn't butcher Irish women if we just sung harder 😭

She's out of this world INCREDIBLE.Heard her sing it live recently too and guess what, she's still got it. Magic 💚

my heart it is in ireland. deep within the emerald isle, but never alone.
I mourn for my dreams...I mourn for my wasted love but while I know I'll survive alone......these lyrics get me everytime💔
We take the pieces and create new dreams
😢me too
What a song & what a voice
Reminds me of when I was younger, watching my mum in the kitchen, cooking as she listened to this
Sinead Coombs that is a beautiful memory
The curious mind of Sinead C woow it was so interesting 😍😍😍😍😍
Still sexy
I have pretty much the same memory of my mother.
Remember the band in Finnegans Wake in Edinburgh used to play this every Saturday night when I was student. Great memories of the 90’s!!
Thank you for posting. It`s was my Moms song.
My she rest in peace.
Je suis toujours très ému quand j'écoute cette formidable chanson, la gravité qu propos, la chaleur de la voix. Eleanor ! quelle belle personne !
Much as dreams and love may seem wasted at the moment, it’s never too late for that wonderful life you’ve always pictured.
