Sting wrote a masterpiece, Eva Cassidy made an angelic version. Since then, every female voice who sings this cover takes Eva Cassidy's version as a reference. Simply fantastic!
Wow. "16 year old Anabel Sweeney wowed audiences with her heart felt rendition of Fields of Gold at the Celtic Woman 3Arena show.Sep 18, 2017." If you don't shed a tear listening to the clarity of her voice, then you have no soul. She is an angel. She was born to sing this song.
It's not just that she sings so well, it's that she fits in. She has it. She belongs in what she's doing. She tells her story in her song, with maturity, with passion, with the heat of an old soul who's telling you all about it. That is rare enough as it is, much less for someone her age.
You. Are. So. Wright. There is a feeling there , that can come from no where else, it must be in our kind of people's. The. D, N, A. PLUS THE RHYTHM, AND THE MELODY. IT SURE BEAts. Red. Light. thump. Thump . Thanks.
I'm here because Dan Rather recommended three versions of "Fields of Gold" in his Substack newsletter yesterday, and this was one of them. I've now watched 3 times and have cried every time... there are no words to describe the beauty of her voice, or the poignancy of this song. I kept picturing the golden fields of Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, and so many other ravaged and war torn countries, where fields of gold often become fields of gray. We must do better... for the children, and for everyone's "field of gold" whatever that imagery might mean to them. Peace.
Im 29, German.. With a heart that is as cold as ice and made out of concrete and I cried with everything that is left of my soul, I understand brother... I understand
This brought a lump to my throat, going through some tough times with the recent loss of my beautiful Helen. truly blessed to be married to this amazing lady for 24 years. a true inspiration and blessing to those who where fortunate to know her fly with the angels Helen you deserve it .
Truly gorgeous! The piano arrangement, her voice ... everything. One of the best Fields of Gold covers I have ever heard in my life. I could not have imagined it could ever be so beautiful.
@@SchwarzeWitwe2 I agree! Eva sure knew how rearrange songs like this one compared to the original. Seen many people sing Eva's arrangements of songs without people realising that was where it first came from. This arrangement was from Eva's album "Songbird" released about 1998.
Best version ever IMO too, love Anabel Sweeney's all performances, shame there's so few uploaded out there, I can't imagine why this super talented young lady doesn't continue her singing career, she could easily make a living from the millions of subscribers she would have.
When I fight the hardest I can under the current relevant conditions. When I hear women that sing so honest, so pure, so emotional. I promise you there will be fields of gold soon x
This is beautiful 16 year old Anabel Sweeney of Wicklow, Ireland. Anabel won the contest held in Ireland to choose a guest singer to sing with Celtic Woman in their newest concert, "Homecoming". We were there at 3 Arena in Dublin and heard and saw the taping. Anabel is adorable and was wonderful under the tutelage of Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, formally of Celtic Woman...now CW Voice Director.
I'm so glad that Anabel is so confident on this song. If I were in her shoes, I would be having a breakdown from performing in front of an audience....
You know, shuboyos...you would have loved being there in 3 Arena that night...watching Anabel sing...with .Meav, as CW's Voice Director and Anabel's music tutor right there....and...see all of those standing and shouting out in the audience? They are the wonderful kids from Anabel's high school...cheering her on...Meav had done a wonderful job in bringing out her confidence. Anabel sang just like a pro!!
As she began, the Angels fell silent. And God, hearing this familiar voice in His heaven above, pauses. With a tear of joy in His eye, He smiles as He looks down upon His Anabel. "It is good," He said, as the Heavens rejoiced. Such grace, poise and confidence this young woman has.
I was very moved by this song. However it took a little digging just to find out your name because you were not a regular member of the Celtic Woman. I tear up every time I hear this song, It is a song that brings a wide range of emotions to me from joy to sadness, grieving to hope. The best cover up to now I have heard was Eva Cassidy's., Anabel Sweeney you are right up there with your interpretation. I am very grateful that you won that contest!!! To me it was the show stopper of a very beautiful concert. ❤❤
I love this song. Every version. This girl has a beautiful voice, the musicians accompanying her do it beautifully flawless. Great performance to all. X
This song and orphan girl are my two favorites Anabel sings. Her voice is so mesmerizing and has a way of transporting you into the story she is singing. Such talent!
Do you happen to know if she continued in her singing career? There's only about 5 videos on youtube and her instagram page doesn't say anything about her still being active...
I loved immensely the original played by Sting and I even kept the original CD until today, but I must admit you took this splendid ballad to a totally different level. I’m on repeat and on and on and on…❤
This young lady has a brite future ahead of her. She has a natural talent a uniquely lilted manner. It's really enchanting to listen to her. I've found myself listening over and over again. Her nerve at this tender age is remarkable. Great job sweetheart! 💕
It's been 3 years since this spellbinding performance. I truly hope this young artist has continued on. I truly hope SOMEBODY has opened doors for her to SHARE her amazing talent. Celtic women would be foolish NOT to add her to their repertoire.
Generally speaking at 16 she would be half way through 2nd level education, she would be two years away from university age, I would imagine she would go on to university possibly to study music or whatever career she might want, definitely would be a perfect fit for Celtic woman
After my terrible accident on motorcycle. Nearly 3months induced comma this was only thing I listened to on my phone kept me going. Thanks to the creator and her. 18 months later I'm here
I feel you brother. Near fatal car accident 2018. Stay strong and never lose hope. Took me 6 years to walk again. Day to day struggles but always brighter days ahead. Wishing you all the best.
Both Stings' and Eva Cassidys' versions are better for me ....this arrangement was a bit messy in my opinion, the girl tries too hard to sing Cassidys version for the most part and she hasn't got the maturity in her voice to pull it off ...
She sings like an angel. I'ts not just her voice that is amazing, its the whole performance and the way she does the tempo variations in the performance is simple amazing, its something not even many experienced singers can do.
I, honestly, have no words to describe how thrilled I feel listening this rendition. Blessed will be the man who conquers the heart of this talented and beautiful young lady.

@@donaldcook3112 That is an expression that is commonly taught at english schools, it is classical english language speaking and not influenced by modern interpretations that seem to rile so many people in this day and age. Give the guy a break.
I've only just found this. Her vibrato is stunning! I mean her whole everything is stunning... but her viiiiiiibraaatoooo~ is so unique to me. I love it!
Stunningly beautiful. Tears (of joy) come to my eyes each time I listen to this. What a talent, what a beauty - and only 16 years old when she sang this. Incredible!
Beautiful, brings me to tears, thank you, and she's so beautiful, a gorgeous soul shines through! Could have had her do more voice ooohs at the end, just gorgeous rendition! I love her.
What an absolutely lovely version of this song. Her voice is rather Angelic. She has such beautiful tone and stage presence. She embodies the song with her voice, movement, grace and beauty. My favorite version, besides the original by the man himself, STING!!! And the pianist's accompaniment is spot on and helps to elevate and compliment her voice, as it should be. Being a pianist myself, this song is so pleasant to the ears! Simply Beautiful.....
There are times when humanity seems so ugly. But then there are times like this performance, where a person and soul shine like a thing of infinity beauty. She is beautiful, and her voice is wonderful to listen to.
light green eyes sparkling as a sea in the brimming tide if you may.. we are being carried away in her gentle interpretation so helplessly in the rich vibes of the natural voice.. i feel like standing in the middle of the endless autumn field swaying in the gold waves of rice..an amazing track.
Credit to Annabel Sweeney the confidence she carries in the song absolutely incredible for a 16 year old contest winner, I truly hope they bring her along for their tour in the US.
I stumbled across this listening to Lisa Kelly's rendition. The heart she put into this song was palpable. Quite honestly the best cover yet. When she got the standing ovation it brought a tear to my eye. I don't think she expected that but certainly deserved it.
Astounding voice. I am literally speechless. Anabel's voice has a timbre that sends chills through me. I hope she continues to perform as this is a talent that deserves to be heard.
What a lovely voice that captivates the soul of its audience and brings inner peace. An angelic voice full with stories that brings emotions of calmness and contentment. I'm never tired of hearing this version. 🤩🥰😇
this song depresses me. if someone can sing this beautiful and absolutely flawless and not known all over, then how in the world is there much hope for other aspiring musicians? This young woman sang an absolutely beautiful performance, and its a tragedy she didn't have a huge career known by people everywhere.
@@Marcustb71 Yes MB, she does it justice. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, simple accompaniment, what normal man wouldn't turn his head. Just beautiful!
I absolutely love her voice. This to me is bye far the best cover of this song. It actually relaxes me and takes me away from the realities of the world when I listen. Hopefully we'll hear more music from her.
My, God of heaven, the magic, the voice, the song. I listen to this periodically, and I am so struck by the bliss of the whole performance; something that happen so rarely these days. Deep touching to the soul, to the heart.
Sorry gang, while I agree that she has an excellent voice...beautiful tone and pitch, she doesn't hold even a half lit candle to Eva Cassidy's wondrous interpretation of this fantastic song. Eva is the GOAT when it comes to this song people!
I miss the fourth singer on the Celtic Woman. Four singers gives a softness and vocal harmony to the group. Anyway I love Celtic Woman. Anabel is amazing! Beautiful and sweet voice!
This is a great song and her performance is really good. The singing and emotion are on point and are not over done. She was only 16 when she sung this, which shows amazing maturity and confidence. I hope we get to hear more songs like this. Her name is Anabel Sweeny.
Whilst age creeps up on us all your voice has a purity of youth . Perhaps one of the greatest lament songs we have had the privilege to hear. I was a teenager in the sixties and regret not seeing you perform. Flower power is in us all.
As an Eva Cassidy's big fan, I find this version to be an outstanding one. This young singer has a natural ability to evoke strong emotions , which reminds me of Eva's own talent. Without shouting, false drama usage, or any other artificial enhancers, she was capable of performing at a very high oevel of this amazing song. Keep on developing your great voice. Thank you and greetings from Jerusalem.
This arrangement is so beautiful... That's why I used some of the composer's words (1:32 min) at my wedding to make them my own. I said to my wife: "I never made promises lightly / and there have been some that I have broken / but I swear in the days still left / we will sail the seven seas" - because I´m a sailor and she wants to come with me. Without this arrangement, I would never have become aware of the Sting song in this way. Thank you so much!
This is without doubt the best version of this song I've heard, don't know who she is but her voice is just angelic & perfect for this song.. just effortless & faultless.
This song captures those first impressions of what we all hope love becomes, breathless, wistful and from the memory of the very soil, and this is by levels the most beautiful version of it I have heard. I personally remember falling in love for the first time listening to this in the 90’s, and it takes me back to that time immediately and completely every time I hear it. Ovations, praises, and amazement. Well done.
Woaw, just woaw! An oustandingly beautiful young lady, singing an oustandingly beautiful song, in an outstandingly beautiful way! The closest you can get to heaven.
Incredibly talented singer. She knows her instrument very well and carefully plays it. She doesn’t succumb to overdoing it, but rather keeps it beautiful and meaningful all the way through. Great great performance!
Indeed, she didn't overdo it or use a lot of affectation, mistakes that even many experienced professional singers make (but not any of the Celtic Woman singers). The simple, light accompaniment is perfect, too -- keeps the focus on her voice.
"I Don't Know" The most powerful and blessed words I have ever used or learnt in my entire life and much learning. Thank Our Father, The Most High God of Israel, The Lord of Hosts and The King of Jacob. Amen
Dieses Lied erzählt einen schönen Teil meines Lebens..... jedes Mal wenn ich meine Gerste ernte, der Westwind zuvor durch meine Felder streift , ich meine Kinder sehe kommt diese Erinnerung wieder, eine tiefe Ergriffenheit und Dankbarkeit....! Danke Sting für den schönsten Text die schönste Melodie die mich jedes Erntejahr begleitet !
Her voice is captivating it steals all thought and captures your very soul it's absolutely amazing esp for someone so young she sings w all grace and composure of a professional.
Ultimate voice of an angel. Now I know I know why I feel like a farmer in love whenever I pass through a field of rice, overlooking hills at the tip of the sun set.
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze a while Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me? Will you be my love? Upon the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold
Today has been 17 years since my mum died of cancer and this has been the first time I've cried in about a year so thank you for this, it's such a beautiful song and she has such a beautiful voice 🥀

You are right they do all steal Eva's interpretation. Still not been bettered.

Now in 2024, she's 22-23 yrs ... I hope she's still singing.
This song belongs to Eva Cassidy

U R right sir
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. The young lady put her heart and soul into this.
😍❤️❤️
Beautiful!!❤❤
The original by STING is not so bad either. But her voice is transcendental.
How can this women not be an international superstar? I've not heard a pure, emotional and talented singer such as her in years!
She is only 16 when she did this
Eva Cassidy did the best version of this song.
@@lbeau061 this is not Eva - but it is "her song" - the best version of "fields of gold" is from Eva
if she is part of Celtic Woman she already is
@@markwhite9398 Thanks Mark. I edited my response.
Her tone and her pronunciation of every word is impeccable. It's a shame there isn't a full concert of this woman singing on her own.
If you are English or more likely American. Nothing Celtic about it
@@Bob-bo8ik How does this relate to the comment?
@@Bob-bo8ik Retarded much? A Celtic woman sings a song, written by an Englishman with the pronunciation written.
I'm here because Dan Rather recommended three versions of "Fields of Gold" in his Substack newsletter yesterday, and this was one of them. I've now watched 3 times and have cried every time... there are no words to describe the beauty of her voice, or the poignancy of this song.

I couldn't have said it better! Thank you wherever you are!
What were the other two versions out of curiosity? Ellie Goulding has a very pretty version too

When I was that age I was an idiot.
really? 16??wow❣️
She is as gorgeous as her voice.
@@petergibson2318 We would have done a really bad duet as the idiot twins. Whaddya say!

Truly gorgeous! The piano arrangement, her voice ... everything. One of the best Fields of Gold covers I have ever heard in my life. I could not have imagined it could ever be so beautiful.
Listen to Eva Cassidy's performance. Then read about her life.
Roll into a ball and cry forever.
CWazy Tom I think she should sing this at Sting’s funeral when he dies one day.
Be sure to listen to the version of this song by Lisa Kelly. Enough said!
I disagree. She's got a beautiful voice, I won't deny that, but she lacks the emotions this song needs. It's empty of feeling, at least to me

We were there at 3 Arena in Dublin and heard and saw the taping. Anabel is adorable and was wonderful under the tutelage of Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, formally of Celtic Woman...now CW Voice Director.

She is incredible, I hope they bring her back
Lost my mother in law earlier this year. This was her song and my god does this move you! Amazing
Bro or sis I'm so sorry for your loss I'm still dealing with it myself. This is a healthy cry no doubt
Oh my God.. this is one of best covers of fields of gold. Who is celtic woman?
Celtic Woman is a group of Irish women singers, who are very enjoyable to listen to. This young woman is just one of them. They all have solo spots.
She sings the song as if she has gone through the heartache. Well done watched many times
My wife loved this so much. Rest easy baby I love you so much!!
im sorry mate
Bless her soul. And my condolences.

Astounding voice. I am literally speechless. Anabel's voice has a timbre that sends chills through me. I hope she continues to perform as this is a talent that deserves to be heard.
What a lovely voice that captivates the soul of its audience and brings inner peace. An angelic voice full with stories that brings emotions of calmness and contentment. I'm never tired of hearing this version. 🤩🥰😇
What a rendition of the best song Sting ever wrote. 🎶💕This song always just reaches into my heart and rips it out! Especially the way she performs it.
this song depresses me. if someone can sing this beautiful and absolutely flawless and not known all over, then how in the world is there much hope for other aspiring musicians? This young woman sang an absolutely beautiful performance, and its a tragedy she didn't have a huge career known by people everywhere.
I have always loved this song. This young woman has truly done it justice. I will have this played at my funeral.
Sting dose it better. That's the version I want played at my funeral.
I prefer this girls version to stings... 🙌
@@Marcustb71 Yes MB, she does it justice. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, simple accompaniment, what normal man wouldn't turn his head. Just beautiful!
I absolutely love her voice. This to me is bye far the best cover of this song. It actually relaxes me and takes me away from the realities of the world when I listen. Hopefully we'll hear more music from her.
Shawn Cass She is truly gifted. Please do not overlook Eva Cassidy.
My, God of heaven, the magic, the voice, the song. I listen to this periodically, and I am so struck by the bliss of the whole performance; something that happen so rarely these days. Deep touching to the soul, to the heart.
Sorry gang, while I agree that she has an excellent voice...beautiful tone and pitch, she doesn't hold even a half lit candle to Eva Cassidy's wondrous interpretation of this fantastic song. Eva is the GOAT when it comes to this song people!
Total style, grace & elegance. But that voice is just wow. I think this Girl was personally touched by God himself.
I was once asked what God sounded like . After spend time listening to Celtic Woman i know how the angels sing.
I miss the fourth singer on the Celtic Woman. Four singers gives a softness and vocal harmony to the group. Anyway I love Celtic Woman.
Anabel is amazing! Beautiful and sweet voice!
I'm sure Eva Cassiday is looking down and applauding this performance. This young lady has a beautiful voice.
Written by sting in 1993...but this young woman sings with such heart and emotion...fantastically beautiful
This is a great song and her performance is really good. The singing and emotion are on point and are not over done. She was only 16 when she sung this, which shows amazing maturity and confidence. I hope we get to hear more songs like this. Her name is Anabel Sweeny.
Whilst age creeps up on us all your voice has a purity of youth . Perhaps one of the greatest lament songs we have had the privilege to hear. I was a teenager in the sixties and regret not seeing you perform. Flower power is in us all.
They Must consider making her a permanent member down the Road. Her Voice is Incredible.
As an Eva Cassidy's big fan, I find this version to be an outstanding one. This young singer has a natural ability to evoke strong emotions , which reminds me of Eva's own talent. Without shouting, false drama usage, or any other artificial enhancers, she was capable of performing at a very high oevel of this amazing song.
Keep on developing your great voice. Thank you and greetings from Jerusalem.
I love Eva. Such a loss....
I want her to perform this at my funeral when I die. That is beautiful
Love you always Mom I will never forget you!! You are walking in God's field of gold now!
This arrangement is so beautiful... That's why I used some of the composer's words (1:32 min) at my wedding to make them my own. I said to my wife: "I never made promises lightly / and there have been some that I have broken / but I swear in the days still left / we will sail the seven seas" - because I´m a sailor and she wants to come with me. Without this arrangement, I would never have become aware of the Sting song in this way. Thank you so much!
Each note is pure perfection, and her angelic voice reaches straight to the heart.
This is the best I have heard of this song.
This is without doubt the best version of this song I've heard, don't know who she is but her voice is just angelic & perfect for this song.. just effortless & faultless.
This song captures those first impressions of what we all hope love becomes, breathless, wistful and from the memory of the very soil, and this is by levels the most beautiful version of it I have heard. I personally remember falling in love for the first time listening to this in the 90’s, and it takes me back to that time immediately and completely every time I hear it. Ovations, praises, and amazement. Well done.
Wow. Very moving performance. She and the arrangement are excellent!
Woaw, just woaw! An oustandingly beautiful young lady, singing an oustandingly beautiful song, in an outstandingly beautiful way! The closest you can get to heaven.
Incredibly talented singer. She knows her instrument very well and carefully plays it. She doesn’t succumb to overdoing it, but rather keeps it beautiful and meaningful all the way through. Great great performance!
You've nailed it. Her timing and the passion she brings to the song is so precise, and so gorgeous because of it.
Indeed, she didn't overdo it or use a lot of affectation, mistakes that even many experienced professional singers make (but not any of the Celtic Woman singers). The simple, light accompaniment is perfect, too -- keeps the focus on her voice.
Beautiful description Louise, totally agree with you!
I thought she should have been offered to be a Celtic Woman. She is awesome !
I love this version ❤
"I Don't Know"
The most powerful and blessed words I have ever used or learnt in my entire life and much learning.
Thank Our Father, The Most High God of Israel, The Lord of Hosts and The King of Jacob.
Amen
Dieses Lied erzählt einen schönen Teil meines Lebens..... jedes Mal wenn ich meine Gerste ernte, der Westwind zuvor durch meine Felder streift , ich meine Kinder sehe kommt diese Erinnerung wieder, eine tiefe Ergriffenheit und Dankbarkeit....!
Danke Sting für den schönsten Text die schönste Melodie die mich jedes Erntejahr begleitet !
Just beautiful, I love her vowels, and that piano player is a genius, love to listen to him.
Her voice is captivating it steals all thought and captures your very soul it's absolutely amazing esp for someone so young she sings w all grace and composure of a professional.
She's a true artist! Very angelic voice. What a blessing to hear her sing 💗
Hello Kathleen how are you doing today??
This poetry and her beautiful voice is like being reminded of the beauty, glory and comfort of being in the Lord Jesus’s presence. Amen
Oh yes soul.
Ultimate voice of an angel. Now I know I know why I feel like a farmer in love whenever I pass through a field of rice, overlooking hills at the tip of the sun set.
So beautiful, memories of my beloved husband who has gone on to Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Thank you for putting the lyrics out here ❤
@@abcde7172 you’re welcome! 😊
How could any music lover not love this?!
Today has been 17 years since my mum died of cancer and this has been the first time I've cried in about a year so thank you for this, it's such a beautiful song and she has such a beautiful voice 🥀
Big cyber HUGS to ya dahlin….. 😓❤️🌈🙏🌞
I lost my wife last Feb and Ijust wish I had discovered this before I arranged the funeral and included it in the service.
Such a moving performance! The young lady brought me tears of happiness to hear her sing with such enchantment! And so pretty too.
