Heard this song for the first time after my dog died and it’s now a song I play for him, used to cry every time I heard it but am past that now haha. This is a beautiful rendition of this song and dare I say better than their own. Thank you for giving me a lovely version of a song that’s dear to me 💚
Love the choice of song, love the harmonica (and the rack), but most of all I just love listening to one of the sweetest voices on the planet. An absolutely stunningly spellbindingly, beautiful performance.
Just love you .. You have an amazing voice and the listener can feel every word you sing . I listened to a lot of your other songs as well they are all so heartfelt.
A crack in the sky lends a light to the dark The wind blows the ember a coal from the hearth You carry it proudly through ditches and trees And cross the horizon to lie down and sleep Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the colour that looks after thee Over the ocean toward a new world The city the island a tear in the pearl A boat on the water casts out a clear eye The darkness beneath us is teeming with life Handed the fire from the hearth on the hill The coal and the ember they glow away still Songs to the stranger familiar and clear Ring out in chorus for all you hold dear A flash in the dark shimmers silver and blue Breaches the waves for a moment or two Moves away slowly back into the deep Blue is the eye watches over the sea
This is such a lovely version of this song! I’m so glad I found you - your voice is just gold and I have been watching all of your videos on repeat the last few days:) please keep posting music!
I guess I am not the first one telling you that you do sound quite a bit like Kate Rusty (minus the thick Yorkshire accent of course), but of course that's meant as a compliment.
Why are you not more well known? Obviously it isn't due to your voice and skills with the guitar and harmonica. I use to play Jesus in The Passion in Moncton NB. I had a decent range but had more power. That was a long time ago. I'm 57 now. My daughter Naomi Clarke also performed in musicals and is a proficient guitarist. She has some stuff on YT. Look her up.I play too. More along the lines of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty et al. Wish I could play harmonica. I was completely sold when I heard, " O Come O Come Emmanuel." I have a confession... I was a minister for 25 years! Don't tell anyone, it will ruin my reputation. If you are ever down my way, Sydney, NS, post it to your YT channel. Love to hear you play live. I'll get alot of people to come. I am persuasive. Again, am amazing talent! Cheers, Billy
Billy, love your comment haha! Cheers thank you. Would love to meet ya. I'm actually playing in Sydney this month. I'll be at Bretom brewing on the 17th! Come on down :-)
@@bethanyjune7345 Really?! No flippin way! I'll make sure my schedule is clear. I'll round up the posse! I feel like a kid getting an unexpected gift under the Christmas tree. I am over the moon. See you then!
Hearing this gives such a longing to be in a Dublin pub. 💚
So gorgeous ❤❤❤

A crack in the sky lends a light to the dark
The wind blows the ember a coal from the hearth
You carry it proudly through ditches and trees
And cross the horizon to lie down and sleep
Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling
Blue is the eye watches over the sea
Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling
Blue is the colour that looks after thee
Over the ocean toward a new world
The city the island a tear in the pearl
A boat on the water casts out a clear eye
The darkness beneath us is teeming with life
Handed the fire from the hearth on the hill
The coal and the ember they glow away still
Songs to the stranger familiar and clear
Ring out in chorus for all you hold dear
A flash in the dark shimmers silver and blue
Breaches the waves for a moment or two
Moves away slowly back into the deep
Blue is the eye watches over the sea
Very lovely. Wonderful and sensitive. Thank you for sharing. Please tell me which harp you are using?
This was very nice to wake up to, love from The Netherlands. I'm gonna go look into Ye Vagabonds now
Well you better do, you won't hear a better version of The Foggy Dew anywhere, imo at least.
Great!
What an amazing cover! I unexpectedly found the original a few months ago and now it's one of my favorite songs.
Magical. Beautyful tune. Bravo. I have found a lot of joy in this lullabye.
Can I just say, lovely? I hope so.
