  1. Thanks for this post Kev. It highlights the profound beauty of the simple human voice.

    I must have heard this song a thousand times. Strangely one of the better ones in my opinion was this http://www.last.fm/music/Elvis+Presley/_/Danny+Boy

  2. Thanks for that chuckyman. It's a good one. Elvis at his best.

    This guy, Jimmy Buckley, is great too. He has a voice and it builds up:

  3. Indeed he has.

    I have always found this song interesting. Most singers think it’s just a sad old love song – and mangle it accordingly. A deeper meaning is commonly held in that it is an old rebel song – but you know the Irish. We can’t agree on that either (grin)
