When you can't tell who's singing which part, you know you've got harmonic perfection.
Anyone else here because this was used in Detectorists?
Yep!
Indeed.
Yes
yep
No been a fan for years but love the detectorists as well 😊
Here because the of the Detectorists!
Beautifully atmospheric. Should you ever get the chance I recommend listening to this driving west along the North Norfolk coast from Cromer to Binham during the fading light of a beautiful December sunset. This was the soundtrack of my recent break in Walsingham. Haunting and beautiful. ✌🏻❤️
Will be there Christmas % New Year have done this for 30 years running at Wells next Sea
Magickal
Wonderful harmonies, discovered them on Detectorists ☺️💜
Just discovered these ladies and I am totally obsessed
This stirs something deep inside of me, it makes me so emotional. Just the same as when I first heard the wellaman played
Hauntingly beautiful
Idk but I feel like these sounds are somewhere very deep in my memory from the time I’ve never lived. I was born in Russia, moved to the USA but listening British folk. So love it!
Same here, just like when I first heard the wellaman
me too
Once you've heard this version you can't unhear it...nor will you feel the same about other versions....
That was awesome. I didn't know the song or the singers but Im glad I clicked on this vid.
Instant tears. The most beautiful song ever. ❤️❤️❤️
This performance always gives me goosebumps..Beautifully haunting:)
Magical...
What an absolutely wonderful group. And I love the song lyrics.
Beautiful harmony and haunting
Amazing
what a beautiful Haunting song and great show
Spine Tinglingly Haunting and Beautiful. Incredible.
Fantastic harmonies. Hauntingly beautiful. Detectorists brilliant series.
Love the use of the Hurdy Gurdy - amazingly evocative instrument. Amazing song....
Yes the hurdy gurdy very different being string rather than wind, but an uncanny similarity in sound in this I'll grant you.
Mournful and haunting, I love that this simple tune masquerades as an historic traditional song. The Unthanks give a masterful interpretation, so lovely!
It was originally penned by Davey Dodds. Interesting artist and singer.
It is based off of a traditional children's rhyme that was first recorded in the 16th century, so in a way, it is!
Used to live in same Wiltshire village as Davey Dodds, the writer of this great song!
Beautiful.... and Magpies are amazing
This would have been a good pick for The Wicker Man
Indeed.
Just beautifully haunting. UK version of the Roches ❤
Hauntingly beautiful 😍😍🤩🤩

I guess I need to watch this Detectorists thing. I'm pretty sure I've seen a Laura Marling song from the show, too.
It's how I discovered Johnny Flynn. Detectorists is a gentle delight.
This, is singing. Beautiful. Thanks to the Detectorists.
Sing forever!
