"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English ballad. The song lists a number of impossible tasks given to a former lover who lives in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Great Briton. The "Scarborough/Whittingham Fair" variant was most common in Yorkshire and Northumbria, where it was sung to various melodies, often using Dorian mode, with refrains resembling "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" and "Then she'll be a true love of mine. It appears in Traditional Tunes by Frank Kidson published in 1891,,,, This song blends 2 songs into 1....The Canticle is the back song..The lyrics of Scarborough Fair puts forward the concept of unrequited love. The yearning is felt throughout the song, creating a perfect medieval love story in the process. A young man delegates certain impossible tasks to his lover with the condition that she would have to finish those to be able to come back to him. Consequently, the lady also requests equally impossible things from the man, with the condition that she would complete her tasks when he would complete his.
The popularization of Scarborough Fair today is due to rock & roll greats Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who were introduced to it by Martin Cathy, a British singer. The song was then re-written with a song of theirs, ‘Canticle’ and its popularity rose due to its anti-war lyrics during the Vietnam war period. Added fame was brought by its presence in the Dustin Hoffman movie “The Graduate” in the year 1967, considered as one of the greatest films of all time. The tune is also audible in Simon & Garfunkel’s other compositions, such as "Mrs. Robinson".The tune and lyrics date back to the Middle Ages. The herbs were mentioned for their spiritual meaning in medieval lore. Parsley was thought to remove bitter emotions. Sage was a symbol of wisdom and healing. Rosemary evoked remembrance and was used to bless weddings with love and fidelity. Thyme was a symbol of courage and chivalry. The one we all know is by Simon and Garfunkle.. Many millions of views..Here it is with Lyrics...ruclips.net/video/zyC-aoHSitA/видео.html
Spot on! Beautifully-presented facts. Thank you! 😀
well said 😊
Wow! Really appreciate all the info! Loved this performance and it’s always a blessing to see Dan do his thing! Have a great one!
Scarborough Fair is a 45-day trade fair that took place every year in August. The song was probably written in the 16th or 17th century. It was once sung by Simon and Garfunkel, released in 1966.
Dan's interpretation with the two and three-part vocals is fantastic. I love listening to his acoustic music.
Thank you for your continued support and wonderful response to this epic cover by Dan. Thanks for sharing....
Right on! 😀 Thank you!
Gotcha! Appreciate all the info and thanks for the kind words! Have a great one!
Yes, this is an old folksong, but Simon & Garfunkel made it really popular back in the 70's when I was young. Dan sings this beautifully!❤❤ Its hard to realize there are people who've not heard songs that were popular in my youth. Makes me feel old.
Gotcha! Thanks for the info. He killed this performance! So amazing! ❤️
I remember singing this in our high school chorus. (a few years back 😉). I loved it back then and even more since Dan did it. I love that so much of Dan’s music makes me venture on to find out more about a song. Got this from Google so take it for what it’s worth! The herbs are included in the song to represent the strengths they were thought to have at the time: parsley for comfort, sage for strength, rosemary for love, and thyme for courage. Thanks for your reaction and have a great rest of your day! 🎶💕
Gotcha! Thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed it! You have a great day as well! 😄
What a over the top gorgeous rendition from Dan Vasc ! This is a amazing and beautiful version of the traditional English ballad "Scarborough Fair ! " Thank you for your reaction ! 😊
This is such a beautiful performance of a very old traditional English folksong, sung in Simon and Garfunkel's lovely arrangement. This is indeed an often overlooked side of Dan, and I love it. And I agree, the production is superb as always. Thanks for playing and appreciating all the detail involved!
Appreciate the info and thanks for watching! Always love watching Dan do his thing! Such an amazing artist!
This song makes me feel like a nostalgic trip down memory lane…but Dan’s rendition is supreme! It is dreamy and the echoing harmonies are phenomenal! Dan’s video work is captivating, and the instrumentation is so beautiful!!! You had great comments, brother! I loved what you had to say! Dan did a musical dish of yumminess!!! I loved when you said “ethereal”…spot on!!!! Yes, listening numerous times enables the listener to focus on other things, but Dan’s voice is so captivating that you’re drawn in and float on every word he’s singing! Dan is THE MAN!!! Loved this video, brother! It was so good to see you again!!! Have a phenomenally epic day!!! 👏🏼🔥🔥❤️❤️😁🇧🇷⚔️
Hail to Brazilian songbird who comes straight from the deepest place of God’s own fiery heart of unconditional love. The Vasc knows how to soar on the winds of musical excellence…and we, are overwhelmingly grateful to hear such sounds.
Well said Donna 💜💜🥰
Wonderfully spoken, Donna! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words Donna and glad you enjoyed it! This was absolutely incredible! ❤️
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme are traditional ingredients of a love poultice/sachet. Parsley for comfort, lust, and festivity. Sage for strength and wisdom. Rosemary for remembrance and love. Thyme for courage. So the combination would be for the courage to proclaim your love/lust and the strength and wisdom to carry out the tasks demanded by your love and to remember why you are doing this. And for remembering that love throughout the coming years.
The song was a huge hit by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966. It is actually 2 songs interwoven: Scarborough Fair and Canticle ( a reworking of an anti-war song written by Paul Simon in 1963 - "The Side of a Hill").
Beautiful rendition by Dan and a well done reaction by you. Thank you, it brings memories of my early teen years.
Oh wow, thanks for the breakdown I had no clue! Glad you enjoyed this one!
@@setonhillstudios My pleasure.
Beautiful!❤❤❤Love this one. Many thanks for your reaction to this one!
Thanks for watching! Such a great performance!
I think previous comments have answered your questions about the origin of this beautiful ballad. It certainly shows Dans musical versatility and is one of my favourite acoustic songs he’s covered. Always here for more Dan Vasc, thanks for your reaction.
I never cared for this song by Simon and Garfunkel. Even though I was a 60's hippie. But when I hear Dan sing it, I love it. He always makes songs so much better! Thanks for your reaction.
Thanks so much for watching! He is definitely one of a kind and always a joy to listen to!
Love Dan❤️ Thanks for your reaction 😀👍
Such an incredible artist! Thanks so much for hanging out! 🙏🏻
The guitarist is Gabriel Belozi, who is the main guitarist (both electric and acoustic) in Dan's band (Fearless). In Fearless, Dan's brother Davi plays bass. Giovanni Rezende plays drums. They are all SUPERB at what they do. For these "Spyglass Inn" songs (all acoustic), Gabriel and Dan worked together to make the arrangements.
I see that quite a few people have already provided EXCELLENT historical info regarding this song, itself (and others like it). Great work, ladies!
You did a GREAT job describing it as "old," and "something that has been carried down through time." That's EXACTLY right! Well done! 😀
Yes..."parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" have a LOT of different uses than just SEASONING food. As with many other leafy green herbs (that are used both fresh and dried) they are all medicinal, for one thing. Also, any such herb can also be used in perfumes and such (adding a feeling of familiarity to the more flowery aromas, sometimes).
As for the instrument you were hearing...it's likely a (MIDI file ofa ) mandolin, or possibly a lute. Also, Gabriel could have been playing either one.
I also hear bells of some type -- definitely could be a triangle, xylophone, or any number of bell-tone producing instruments, as in partially-filled crystal glasses (any type of glass will work, but crystal gives the BEST musical tones). On the other hand, all of that can be created by a hurdy gurdy. Of course, they can all be created totally digitally, as well. It doesn't matter. There are DEFINITELY bell tones throughout the song. 😀
One thing I always notice while watching this song (a lot) is that with the Dan on the left, with the light shining directly on his hair, more than anything else, you can easily see the actual, native curliness of his hair. He has to have monthly treatments to keep that built-in curliness tamed, and the long, smooth hair that we generally see on his head, in evidence. He says that if he didn't do that (and in his younger days, he did NOT do that), he would have the biggest, widest, most dense afro ever seen). 😅🤣

...and there you have the TYPE of song that my little 3-girl-band sang, back in the 60s. This was our all-time favorite way to "make spaghetti." 😋🥰
THANK YOU, COREY! Extremely well done!

Some Lyrics ( -- There are thousands more to be found in many different places -- seriously. )
(from the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Center)...
Scarborough Faire
Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lived there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Without no seams, nor fine needle work.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a basket of flowers
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water ne'er sprung, nor drop of rain fell.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to to find me an acre of land.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her reap it with a sickle of leather.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a bunch of heather.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
If she tells me she can't, then I'll reply.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know, that at least she will try.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks.
And I must know she's true love of mine
When thou has finished thy task.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me my hand for to ask.
For then you'll be a true love of mine
(There have been any number of other verses added, over the many, many, long years since this song began to be sung by traveling musicians.)
Thanks so much for all the info and glad you enjoyed it Linda! Dan never disappoints and always puts on such an amazing performance!
@@setonhillstudios I'm sorry, Corey, but I'm now giggling. I know what you MEANT to say, but what you DID say ("Dan NEVER FAILS TO DISAPPOINT..." was (I'm sure) NOT quite what you meant to say. Again...sorry...not meaning to be the "grammar police" (HONEST). It's just funny.
@@GrandmasGotGraceLW 🤣😂 Yeah I better fix that! 🤦🏻♂️ Been a long day. Thanks for pointing that out! 😁
@@setonhillstudios I know how that goes. Sometimes it's fun to go back and get some giggles after a long day. 🥰
Excellent reaction! This version is so much better than the original, and I love the original!
👍❤️🙂

Thanks, all that had to be said has already been mentioned. So, I enjoyed this reaction :-)
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for hanging out!
Soo beautiful!❤❤
Dan is such a perfectionist.
The original folk song is just Dan 1 and Dan 2. It is, as explained, a man asking three impossible things of a former lover before he'll have her back. Dan 3 is singing Canticle which was a Simon and Garfunkel creation to use as counterpoint. The lyrics for Canticle were reworked from Simon's "Side of the Hill," an anti-war song, with Garfunkel working out the melody. The two sets of lyrics are unconnected so it is no surprise being a little lost in trying to make sense of them as a single piece. But it is wonderful listen. So successful and popular was Simon &Garfunkel's version that it is hard to hear Scarborough Fair without Canticle nowadays without feeling that something is missing.
Ah ok, that makes more sense then!
Beautiful ♥️
Mellow, chill Dan. Thank You!
Thank you for watching! Loved this one! Dan is a LEGEND!
This is soooo beautiful!!
I agree! 😀
💯 Such a beautiful performance!
This is a folk song, you could have put the subtitles and followed the lyrics. tks
