@@EatBakeSing I'm not sure how this video came my way, but I'm glad it did. So glad you are preserving traditional songs. Too much of British culture is being shoved out of view, or even forced out of existence nowadays. Look forward to seeking out more from you.
Sublime and pure. I am a big fan of all British Folk, Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, John Martyn, etc. You have a beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Not so fond of that kind of sound tbh. But thanks. I do much prefer the raw, old fashioned folky stuff. Like the Copper Family for example or Annie Briggs Do you know them?
@@EatBakeSing I liked Annie Briggs as soon as I heard her but was even more impressed when I found out about her life story. I also like Lankum, the Irish folk band. I had tickets to see them in Los Angeles but they cancelled the tour unfortunately. So glad that you are keeping the English folk songs alive, folk songs tell one so much about the history and culture of a society. The victors may write the history books but folk songs tell us where we really come from.
Thankyou - You've such a pure melancholy pouring through your song . Just gorgeous . Heartening to feel an innocent sense of Englishness in these darkly troubled days 🦋💫🌻🌃✨
I been have been looking for original English folk music for a while, now I have found it. im more familiar with Irish folk, im now contented with the both. Quintessential English Rose 🌹 that you are.
You warm my soul. As a folk and bluegrass mandolin/guitar player I've needed some new inspiration... Your songs and sincerity have become a great new chapter for me. Thank you 😊
Lovely voice and a real classic song. I have been singing songs like these for nearly sixty years and it is so good to know, and a great comfort to me in my old age, that there are youngster's today who will carry forward the tradition for the centuries to come..... thank you again
@@EatBakeSing Hi, one of all too many things in life that I never got round to. I used to sing in Sussex pubs and clubs, then to Staffordshire and on to South Yorkshire. I got very ill some 20 years ago, and it affected my memory for lyrics badly. Not so for tunes though, they must be stored elsewhere in my head. I also play Anglo Concertina and have a great memory for the tunes, but can never remember what the heck they are called. I still play regularly for English Country Dances, and absolutely love that too :
Exquisite! Am I right in thinking that, although there were national, often patriotic songs, until the start of the 20thC many true English folk melodies were unknown to the musical mainstream until 'discovered' by Cecil Sharpe et al before WW1.
These used to be sung by people in pubs etc, often of local popularity. If you get to know the old folk in a village they can remember them. But people didn't feel like singing so much after the world wars.
Through bushes and through briars I lately made my way All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play I overheard my own true love his voice did sound so clear Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear Sometimes I am uneasy and troubled in my mind Sometimes I think I will go to my love and tell him of my mind Sometimes I think I will go to my love and tell him of my mind And if I do go to my love my love he will say nay If I show to him my boldness he’ll never love me again If I show to him my boldness he’ll never see me again Through bushes and through briars I lately made my way All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play
Thank you for sharing this. It’s really nice being able to see small beautiful moments from the past that I wouldn’t have had the chance to experience.
This tune is a long term earworm of mine. Its so good to hear this song in it's natural habitat.....( and by a natural looking woman as someone else on the comments has observed).In my opinion this is one of the many songs that need rescuing from trained plummy voices
I found this while searching for a happy hardcore tune called young birds. Now I know where the lyrics came from. To be honest it gave me goose bumps listening to you sing it. Thank you!
Same way i came across this song here ,chills so beautiful. Young birds is one of my alltime favorites since it's been released🤔 that makes me an old bird i believe😅
@@EatBakeSing through DNA testing & genealogy… I’m a direct descendant of KING NIALL of Ireland. The McKey clan of Scotland. And the last Irish Harper, Turlough O’Carolan. I have a good bit of English DNA that appears to be rooted in southern England near London. But there’s always more to learn! It’s fun finding my ancestral roots. Thank you again for singing your song!
Ah that’s very lovely of you to say. Thank you. Funnily enough I’ve also been in tears today over a song which moved me so deeply- one about farming and the English countryside of yore. Where is home btw?
Ever since I came across this beautiful song in the film 'Far from the Madding Crowd' I've loved it ever since! I heard it performed many times when I was living in England, but in all sincerity, this is the most beautiful version I've as yet heard! I will certainly be purchasing this, and though I've been on a LONG break from my journalism career, I'm seriously considering resuming again very soon, and am interested in doing an interview with you if you are so inclined. 😁
Thank you so much. Really kind of you to say. I love it when she sings it in that film. Possibly interested in an interview, depending on what the publication is. I do not speak to the BBC, for example, or other liars! You can always email me thebreadwitch@gmail.com
@@EatBakeSing Seems to be the way though. People like to be romanced and seduced and bewitched. No-one seems to like just being told "Hey, I really like you."
Just came across this probably because of my listening to Sandy Denny (where does the time go?). You sing beautifully! What a calming and peaceful video. Love it!

Thank you for your singing! That's the way folk songs should be sung, without accompaniment.
I'm in thrall. A thousand years in a voice.Thank you.
Emotional performance.
indeed
I love Julie Christie singing this in Far From the Madding Crowd, but love your voice too!! Thank you for sharing it with us xx
Thanks x I'm also called Julie ☺️❤️ Ps I love that film and that scene!
Julie Christie didn't actually sing it, I thought she did like you. She mimed to a well respected folk singer of that time. ❤ XXX
I believe it was Isla Cameron. ❤ XXX

This is the way this song should be sung. Beautiful.
Beautifully sung
God that's a beautiful song, and sung so heartfelt "if I show to him my boldness, he will never love me again." Sung with such reality.
Indeed
Beautiful voice and well sung . Thank you.
I absolutely love this!! Absolutely beautiful. Makes me imagine walking in the English countryside.

@@EatBakeSing adorable woman with natural adorable voice 😍 sorry for too much compliments, but u deserve it
The sound of the traffic in the distance just made the music sound even more beautiful in contrast.

Get out of the city
Makes me feel like I’m being sung to sleep while laying by a camp fire deep in the woods at night 🌲

That was lovely, lass. Thank you!
Through bushes and through briars I lately made my way
All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play
All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play
I overheard my own true love his voice did sound so clear
Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear
Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear
Sometimes I am uneasy and troubled in my mind
Sometimes I think I will go to my love and tell him of my mind
Sometimes I think I will go to my love and tell him of my mind
And if I do go to my love my love he will say nay
If I show to him my boldness he’ll never love me again
If I show to him my boldness he’ll never see me again
Through bushes and through briars I lately made my way
All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play
Thank you. Lovely
Your performance made me well up! Thank you!
beautiful.

I wish your voice would be recorded in a studio one day. If you ever take up a collection for the studio fees, I would contribute.
I just saw you had a CD! I must purchase.
The algorithms are working well. From "The Bookshop Band" , to Far from the madding crowd, to Eat Bake and Sing...Happy days.

Beautiful. Thank you

Lovely. And I heard a Nuthatch at the very start of the clip😊
Beautiful vernacular rendering of the song with a melancholy winter landscape, kiss me Hardy.
