Lisa's husband, Andy here. This song is suburb and beautiful, I have never known such a sublime and beautiful expression of hatred and bitterness in song this powerful before. 👍
Hauntingly beautiful performance by Karine without any unecessary melodrama. Perfect. Love the Scottish accent retention as some artists put on an American accent when singing.
A star is born. A real one, not the rubbish churned out by commercial talent contests with a factor of x. Listen....this is a real artist.....this is real music.
Didn't know this was written by Solas. But Karine Polwart sings it so well. What a great song. Every politician and everyone who thinks an apology can atone for a wrongdoing should listen to it!
I'm so looking forward to seeing this wonderful artist perform at Ely folk fest next month. I don't know how I haven't seen or heard of her until recently, I suppose that it just goes to show how so many really extraordinary artists don't get the recognition that they deserve in most of the media.
Yet another sublime Karine song that managed to hold a mirror up to my own concerns and outrage, blow away the cobwebs of my apathy and make me feel, think and feel again... love the lady!!! The DVD shall be mine!
Yeah, im liking this, There is an original twist in her songs thats not pushed just interesting and bloody good! More!!! im now checking out Karines all the videos and looking out for future london gigs.
God she´s got such an awesome voice. Didn´t know she was so humble! Well guess what, Karine: People care, because it sounds awesome!! Casting show candidates of the world, gather around, that Scottish girl is going to show you, what a real talent is!
Such fine music and singing. Really nice to see it being created. Thanks for posting and looking forward to getting the new DVD. Hope you come to the midwest sometime (Illinois).
It's a beautiful song and I love your voice. Any chance for the chords and picking so that I can have a go at playing this please, I'm learning to play the guitar and would like to have a go at Sorry.
Listened to this so many times. So relevant at the time it was written, as it is now (i.e. to Trump). So deeply affecting. So well performed. As good as it gets!
Completely agree, a beautiful, tense, bleak & poignant performance totally appropriate to the appalling subject matter. You might listen to the version by Solas, American Irish band, another respectful rendition. (Solas - another great contemporary band.)
I was thinking of doing this song with a video mash up of trumps big ugly orange mug all over it! You read my mind!!! First have to figure out how to take it from her tenor guitar to my regular guitar. This song is brilliant...stunning in every way!
I feel very sorry for you if you can't appreciate this poignant, wonderful song performed by a truly great accoustic guitarist & singer & backed by some really talented musicians. Obviously you are under educated musically & perhaps need to get out & see if you can learn to appreciate a broader range of music than you seem able to at the moment. Good luck with that.
Brilliant pmsl. She must have been severely pissed off at some point in her life. I want to go to a concert and just forget the problems of the world that I live with every bloody day. It's amazing how the middle class of this country seem to have us believe they're the victims. It's like these folk singers who go on about the hardships of coalmining, the closest they've been to the blackstuff was paying the cole man on a friday night.
An artist who is actually capable of philosophy? Makes me care even more, actually. In fact, I only listen to art that can at least express that which philosophy entails, if not fully embody it. Philosophy is a paradox. It is like losing a legal battle to your ex-wife, her taking away all your money, only to realize that you do not want any of it back, including the wife. Living without the two is too much reality, but living with it, is no reality at all.

That dissonant harmony on the bridge sets such a mood. Love it... Completely found this artist by accident recently and been loving her work.
One of my many favs of Karine s Sngs
Love her haunting Voice and the back up for this one is perfect too.
Didn't know this was written by Solas. But Karine Polwart sings it so well. What a great song. Every politician and everyone who thinks an apology can atone for a wrongdoing should listen to it!
Heard this last night on Radio 4, shivers down my spine, utterly excellent, must see this lady playing as soon as possible.. :)
So utterly, UTTERLY *BEAUTIFUL* .....
my first go round with Karine...won't be my last.....chills
A really powerful song from a wonderful singer/songwriter.

Gobsmackingly effective! Beautiful in the barbed way that Karine can nail a thought. A fabulous arrangement, well done all.
The more I listen to this the more I love it - truly hypnotic.
Briiliant....... Love her and her wonderful band, especially the Lady in Black !
Jennifer Mercer the wonderful Inge Thomson
Karine is class. In many ways. I love this song.

Yeah, im liking this, There is an original twist in her songs thats not pushed just interesting and bloody good! More!!! im now checking out Karines all the videos and looking out for future london gigs.
I really love this song. I've listen like twenty times and I'm not tired... This song is amazing. Good job Karine, you and all the team!!!
I love this so much! I wish I could see you live Karine but I live all the way down in Cornwall. I'd love if you came down here some time.
A song that has its moment yet again - and still he skids out from under! Great work KP.
God she´s got such an awesome voice. Didn´t know she was so humble! Well guess what, Karine: People care, because it sounds awesome!!
Casting show candidates of the world, gather around, that Scottish girl is going to show you, what a real talent is!
This song gives me chills!!!
she's in Exeter soon, a few tickets left, I'm going, really looking forward to it.
I absolutely love this song

Just exquisite

Wow!
In all honesty I think it's written with Blair and Bush very much in mind, I'm sure she'd love to avenge all their actions.
Positively LOVELY ! ! ! Should be dedicate to TRUMP for trying to Trump all over your SCOTLAND... Lot's of blessings to your people

Was that Billiy Connelly in the audience?

Sweet tune. You're a very talented and modest lady,.......the polar opposite to Trump!
sounds a bit sicilian.. in a good way
what finger picking pattern anyone:)
Karine Polwart Donald trump
PMSL A keyboard warrior
Wow!
