It makes me think of love and heartache. And like any good song, hope. If you are in a bad place, guaranteed there is a better one over the hill. Buy a ticket on the bus and sit in the back.
I don't mean to be weird or creepy, but I've thought about your comment, specifically saying it's a life prayer, on and off over the past 2 years when I think of this song, and that statement is so utterly true.
Hung out at The Earl Of Old Town with Blaze and Mike Jordan in Chicago before he moved to Austin. We got wasted on tequila boilermakers. lol Jimmy Johnson the bartender threw us out because we were getting a little rowdy. Later at Mike Jordan's place in Rogers Park we passed the guitar around. Blaze had just written Election Day. They've both passed on. It's good to Blaze's music, but hurts to have him gone. He wasn't a king or a choirboy. Just a big loud guy with a great big heart.
I'm excited Aoife has a new album coming out. This song was what turned me onto her. I think this and John Prine's are the two best covers of an amazing song.
Speaks volumes to the qualities of this song, that John Prine covered it. One of my favorites. Blaze Foley was an amazing talent, just about as complicated as his music.
Yes, I love Blaze and this may as good as he did it. This is probably the best cover of this great song that I've heard. She did her way, yet still respected the soul of the song.
Good to see a cover of a song give attribution to the writer, too many RUclips vids do not. Blaze Foley, John Prine and now a beautiful lady with a angelic voice demonstrates how good a song this is.
Great Song! I've heard lots of folks sing it but most don't convey the heart hidden in the song. You can hear it when Blaze sang it and you can hear it when you do. Thanks!
I love the original version of this song. Not necessarily John Prines version. But her singing this song you can feel the heart and soul in it. Made the hairs on my arms stand up and gave me chill bumps. Damn nice clip and the fact she mentions Blaze is great too.
Number One THE BEST cover of Clay Pigeons...Goooooood Lawdy, incredible! 😢 Beautiful voice my friend. I’ve been a Blaze and Prine fan for over 15 years...Thank you for your part in the journey of this beautiful song.
That's BIG folks!!!!! .... recognition should be much bigger for this artist ... she's a WORLDCLASSS singer!!!! ... and ... there's no need to compare to anybody else!!! ...
You certainly have a beautiful voice. I was only familiar with John Prine's version, then I heard Blaze Foley, and then you. Wonderful I like them all.
I reckon very few could ever capture the heartache and longing in this song. John was one of them. Aoife is another. Beautiful.

My late brother loved that tortured soul almost as much as whiskey soaked cornbread
R I P Blaze & Tony
This song popped into my feed during the worst week of my life. I laid on the floor and sobbed while this song played on repeat.
You ok?
Getting there.
@@SaltySam43 Me too. It truly touched me.
Good heavens that song was written for three people and you are one of them
This is one of those songs that you hear it once and need to learn so it can be shared.
Beautiful singing to a beautiful song! RIP Blaze, you are a Legend!
Such a somber song while still giving hope. A masterpiece and Aoife covered is to perfection.
Moved beyond words.. Its not a song. Its a life prayer.
I don't mean to be weird or creepy, but I've thought about your comment, specifically saying it's a life prayer, on and off over the past 2 years when I think of this song, and that statement is so utterly true.
Thanks for giving Blaze his credit 😊 ❤ you are fantastic
I can't remember the last time music brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful beyond description.
This tune rips your heart out. RIP Blaze
Lovely! Thank you. "I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go."
😊
Wow. What a voice! I just tripped over this version today. An amazing cover of perhaps my favorite song. Now am an instant Aoife fan!
That was beautiful and gently delivered. I think Blaze would love it.
Beautiful. You knew your song well before you started singing. I love that. You did Blaze well.
Why doesnt music like this have a bigger following?
Music as an art is lost. It's all about the clicks.

Beautiful song Beautifully done! Bravo! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
She is awesome love this girl well done
This song could have been written about my brother. He introduced me to it . He is gone now but when I hear I got back… beautiful.
WELL DONE LADY WELL DONE !!
Beautiful version of a great song.
One of my favorite songs performed by one of the most beautiful woman.
I'm excited Aoife has a new album coming out. This song was what turned me onto her. I think this and John Prine's are the two best covers of an amazing song.
Beautiful
What a soulful singer, story teller. Love this cover. ❤❤
Wonderfully Done … one of the best I’ve seen folks do . Hope I get to see you play again ! 👍👌
Beautiful song. Love it. Thanks so much!
Just when I think I couldn't possibly like Aoife any more than I already do, she proves me wrong.
That was a beautiful cover.
Planned to get to work early this morning. But now I’m late. That’s what happens when ya listen to this rendition 10 times in a row. Very nice!
Always liked John Prine. Never heard this before until this cover.
Edmonton Folk Fest are you hearing this 👉🏾
Heaven is Aoife singing beautiful songs.
Thank you so much for this beauty.
That was an amazing version.. well done
Speaks volumes to the qualities of this song, that John Prine covered it. One of my favorites. Blaze Foley was an amazing talent, just about as complicated as his music.
Bryant W merle Haggard covered it too.
Wow. So beautiful... that song is a Masterpiece.
Sublime ....
Oh shit...what an amazingly sweet cover of Pigeons. I couldn't begin to imagine this lyric from a woman's perspective, but she kills it
Yes, I love Blaze and this may as good as he did it. This is probably the best cover of this great song that I've heard. She did her way, yet still respected the soul of the song.
Thanks for mentioning Blaze Foley. This is a beautiful performance.

This is easily one of my favorite covers.
One of the greatest versions right here
Thanks so much for the cover and props to Blaze. And for not changing the lyrics like John did. You conveyed the true meaning of the song.
Great Song! I've heard lots of folks sing it but most don't convey the heart hidden in the song. You can hear it when Blaze sang it and you can hear it when you do. Thanks!
Really great job
I love the original version of this song. Not necessarily John Prines version. But her singing this song you can feel the heart and soul in it. Made the hairs on my arms stand up and gave me chill bumps. Damn nice clip and the fact she mentions Blaze is great too.
Sweet version -- great nuances.
My favorite Blaze Foley song by far!
Bravo

Lyrics simply beautiful. No wonder someone was at Ms O'Donovan to learn the song...more than a song for sure. Beautiful rendition.
California, here's some of Texas. Well done!!! Magnificent.
I don't cry easily, but I teared up during this. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you. Long live the Blaze.

You have a beautiful voice ... What a cover ...
The beauty of Foley's songs were their simplicity in annunciation, clear strong melody with some pickin and you got it.
Well done .
Don't forget amazing lyrics
Blaze would be proud. Cheers from Austin and the duck tape crowd! See you at the Outhouse!
