I'm English,but live in Scotland with my Scottish wife and family, I have lived here for over 30 years now and never had as many deja views anywhere else I've ever been,it has always felt so familiar like I've been here since birth,and I have definitely never heard this song until just now,,but it really feels like I have! Strange.
I love the use of the photos of the places these songs are sourced from. It really recreates the mood of the places that must have inspired the original composers and signers of these folk treasures! Bravo, Mr Zoltan! May you never run out of notes!
@pipergirl12 The song as it is now can only be traced back in print to the US about a century ago however it was a version of a much older British song, probably from Scotland originally but known throughout the island. No doubt it was around in Ireland too but it only became well known in Ireland after Hamish Imlach the Scots folk singer taught the song to Christy Moore.
He didn't write it though - as I mentioned in a previous post, this is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index (record 3103) as being collected in the Appalachian Mountains, 1915. The first recording on record was in 1916. It almost certainly is from Scottish roots, due to mention of the river Clyde, which runs through Glasgow.
the Black, suddenly becomes White and pure with all this fairytale, the voice, the landscapes and the Celtic culture... All this flows in my veins without me being a Celtic... A greeting from Algeria
I just wanna take a rest of all the horrible people at school and live by rivers and mountains in Scotland listening to nothing but this kind of music and the moaning of the wind.
Epic Kazoo Solo Uhh, yeh this this reply is a wee bit late, there are assholes in Scotland too. So what will be the use of running away just to meet over there the same crap you're sick of here? Will be a waste of gas or footwork.
Er, no. Black is the Colour is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index (Roud 3103) as being collected in the Appalachian Mountains region of the United States in 1915, but probably originates in Scotland, due to mention of the river Clyde. The first known recording was by Mrs. Lizzie Roberts in 1916.
and i agree with Tadeo Mandela, but I would take people from my school to Poland's mountains, rivers, woods, sea, greetings from Poland, you've done grat job
This is great, I saw the Discography but it seem that this track isn't contained in any of your album, so could you provide a download link for high-res audio, if you can? Thank you very much
Rodrigo Wilson Yeah but it's usually either a man or just instrumental. THAT is the point I'm trying to make, not that the woman is Irish singing an irish song :/
This Was Scottish before the Irish claimed it changed a few word a few notes here and there And now its Irish I dont think so its SCOTTISH and old Gaelic tune hundreds of yrs old... someone added words its and old Air written for the Scottish Fiddle By a Scotsman... :)
@thezepher007......it only entered ireland in the 60s when irish folk singer chrisrie moore heard the scottish folk singer hamish imlach sing it. he asked hamish to teach it to him. it's an american rework of an old scots sang.
Listen to the song I will never marry again. Both songs sound to me like lesbian lover songs,and very similar. I like both songs though but both are very peculiar songs...
I don't know where Jwana Stevenson is from, but she's definitely not American, nor does she have an American accent. I have met people from nearly every state in the Union and none of them pronounce "hand", "love" or "letter" the way she does. I am a natural born American, by the way.
Cindy Bear Well, then where can she be from? She's clearly not Scottish nor British, Irish maybe? But I've never heard such a strong Irish accent. By the way, saying "American" I was also including Canada. Could that also be possible?

Hey, God Bless You and your family. Wonderful country Scotland, if only they had Wi-Fi.
it's like all of the dust inside my soul is gone in the air. Clear voice and deep expression.

This wonderful song need's more views! ;)
To: gabi mirzeyev If you like Scottish people you would also like Appalachian people and musical traditions.
i can see the confusion why some folk think its irisg but its an old scottish song, if you compare the style its different to irish folk
I really want to live here one day.
Retno Ayu Widiyanti Here is the only place we can live.

Thank you very much
Before I die I have to visit Scotland.
Hi guys this was originally wrote by a scottish poet singer hamiish imlach ....about a lost love hope this helps..slain
Wrong.
This is great! The lyrics are similar to Cara Dillon’s version. But to me the tone is more sober and contemplative.
This is the first and only time I've actually liked a woman singing an Irish song so good stuff!
it's actually a Scottish song but it's all good.
Ahhh sorry about that!
+Rosie Shaw But the woman singing the song is Irish.
Rodrigo Wilson
Yeah but it's usually either a man or just instrumental. THAT is the point I'm trying to make, not that the woman is Irish singing an irish song :/
This Was Scottish before the Irish claimed it
changed a few word
a few notes here and there And now its Irish
I dont think so
its SCOTTISH
and old Gaelic tune
hundreds of yrs old... someone added words its and old Air
written for the Scottish Fiddle
By a Scotsman...
:)
Gorgeous.. Why aren't you on itunes :-)??
Mon big hamish
Can this song sell on Itunes? Want to buy this beautiful voice music.

The pictures real ? Yes they are !
its sad...i know ill never see him again..black is the color of mu trye love hair
Магично!
@Elle Shaughnessy it mentions the Clyde (River) suggesting its Scottish, although it could easily be a bit of both.
why does she change some words !!! music is quality.
haha this is where im from c:
Is this type of music that called "Folk music"?
Yes.
Are the pictures real?
Yes, the pictures are real.
Pretty. And, easy on me, it's modal. Don't know why it's less difficult for me to harmonize on modal tunes than otherwise. Primitive I suppose.
Goodbye Elida
@MyrddinwyIIt My fault, never mind.
This is an irish song
@thezepher007......it only entered ireland in the 60s when irish folk singer chrisrie moore heard the scottish folk singer hamish imlach sing it. he asked hamish to teach it to him. it's an american rework of an old scots sang.
@MyrddinwyIIt why is a lesbian interpretation creepy?
Very much old
This is a song khaleesi would sing for khal drogo 😭😭😭 *cries in the corner*
Listen to the song I will never marry again. Both songs sound to me like lesbian lover songs,and very similar. I like both songs though but both are very peculiar songs...
u couldnt get better pictures unbelevable views , track isnt bad either
This piece is folk music music from IRELAND, not Scotland!
Wrong
This is Irish though not Scottish. Hon christy Moore. He's the man.
Is she a lez
Yes! Is that a problem for you...?
This is an Irish not Scottish song !! ;) but Your cover is really nice !
Scottish, then American...not Irish.
The music is very nice, but there's one thing that I don't really like about the voice: her strong american accent.
I don't know where Jwana Stevenson is from, but she's definitely not American, nor does she have an American accent. I have met people from nearly every state in the Union and none of them pronounce "hand", "love" or "letter" the way she does. I am a natural born American, by the way.
Cindy Bear Well, then where can she be from? She's clearly not Scottish nor British, Irish maybe? But I've never heard such a strong Irish accent. By the way, saying "American" I was also including Canada. Could that also be possible?
Perhaps - I have only known a few Canadians, mostly from British Columbia.
I can clear this up. She sounds like she is from Northern Ireland to me :-)
Mia Cat Whoa, that's a strong accent then! But you're probably right... Thanks! ;)
This is Irish m8
