I am Choctaw but my sweet grandmother was born in Cork County and came to America. We have just one picture of her. A redheaded and tall irish woman. Hope to get to Ireland one day. TY for your music!

Only when we understand that the fair is this unfair world we all inhabit that we may begin to understand the immense pain and depth of this incredible piece

[marcusmckay]

I used to sing this to my mother. It always makes me think of her. This is the best version l have heard. Brought tears to my eyes. Thankyou Caitlin.

I'm Choctaw (native american) but my great-great grandfather was from Ireland and your music/photos always makes me feel like I'm home. I hope to go to Ireland some day ❤

I walked down the isle on my wedding day to this song, In memory of my wee granny who couldn't be with me ❤️🇮🇪

[eugenebuckley]

What a truly angelic voice.I cried listening to her ❤️

[rontuohy]

This was my late mother's 'party piece' something she was always prevailed upon to sing at family gatherings. She had a lovely clear voice perfectly in key and although it is probably 60 years or so since I last heard her sing it, it still makes me cry. Thank you for a lovely version.

[relentless]

enjoy it people, close your eyes take it in because her voice is the closest we will get to heaven while still in the land of the living.

In the rare event I hear something this beautiful, my perception of things I see and feel changes.  It's an experience that can't quite be put into words, but I know there are people out there who understand.

[supertrampalexander]

I'm half Korean and Japanese but I've always loved music like this. As a guitarist, it makes me want to explore more folk music to blend in with my rock/blues/jazz background.

Caitlin. I was adopted in 1969. Only today, did i discover who she was. I went to visit her grave witch was 40 years of looking. This was one of Her Recessional songs at Her funeral.Wow. Thank you

[stigbaumeyer]

I haven't heard a better version of this beautiful song than this. The crystal clear voice, the haunting music - the celtic musical heritage is fantastic. Greetings from Norway, Stig
