    Really lovely video visualization of the story. I'm very happy that you portrayed the witch as strong and stern, not as some sort of sex symbol as sometimes seems to happen. Also a beautiful rendering of the song. Thank you!

    The Lady in the song is Epona the Rider Queen, Lady of horses. One of most powerful and important members of the Celtic pantheon. She was so popular that her worship became common among the legions of Rome and even inspired traditions that survive today like putting horse shoes above the entrance to a stable

    One of my favorite songs of all time, beautiful, rarely hear archys version anymore everyone knows it by Stan’s version it seen. Regardless very well done

      Both are really good versions of the song. I'd like Stan's more if it included everything from the original, but I prefer his tempo over Archie's.

    Love this version and the film. I know all the places mentioned in this song and can never drive over Kirkstone Pass without thinking about it. Well done to the film maker!

    I learned this song almost 50 years ago as a kid. The version I learned was done by Stan Rogers, which is a rousing melody sung faster with a male voice. I've never heard it done this way before, but there is something I like about it. I also think it is cool that there is a video to go along with it. I was looking for the hound and hawk but I guess it was their day off :) Well done!

    Congratulations on your enchanting, atmospheric and sensitive visual interpretation of the song. The heroic and gallant knight and the fair enchantress play their silent parts excellently well - mystical and expressive without being overly histrionic - and all perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the tale. Whatever version of the song one likes best (and over the last 50 years, I've heard many!) this film would go beautifully with any of them. Well done, o parfit gentyl knycht!

    A brilliant adaptation of the rousing Stan Rogers favourite. Skeptical until I watched it, but Kate can pull just about anything off. Sad that she is almost unknown in the US.

      From the US, I'll inject a little hope into the situation by saying she's one of my favourites. The Wild Goose is probably at the top of my list, although I'd never heard her version of this poem before -- amazing.

    A romantic and moving song, We either have otherworldly guardians or wish we have, If the latter, will such thoughts give us ease in our passing. Aos Sidhe!

    This might be the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard and the video that goes with it seems well made, almost in sync with the music. Going to watch the full video now.

    If you're used to the Stan Rogers version just put it in 1.25 speed.

    Sorry Kate, but for me this isn't a patch on Stan Roger's version, and Archie's original is great too.
