I keep looking for undiscovered singers with clarity of voice and strong emotions who can move mountains with their music. Clearly one of these must be Aoife O'Donovan which obviously is a voice that you have never heard. Take the time to listen and enjoy.
When I was learning English this song was on my ears performed by Alison Krauss. I felt in love with it so fast… not because of the lyrics but the good music. Anyway an American friend helped me to understand the subtle meaning. Now I am able to express my gratitude directly to O'Donovan. This music makes what Ms O'Donovan is speaking to us about a better world through music in order to become us into a better human being citizen. She has the skill to raise that goal for everyone. Thanks to them for making such as great performance with such as subtle accuracy. God bless you.
Aoife wrote this and she has her own, less pop-oriented, style. Guess Allison liked it enough to cover it and turn it into a hit. Aoife is an excellent songwriter and performer and was just highlighted in the latest v of Acoustic Guitar Player. Her old band, Crooked Still, was one of the most creative bluegrass hybrids ever, ahead of their time.
This version is absolutely stunning: bass, drums, singin and guitar picking by Aoife, AND Strat solo (so delicate and musical) are all top grade...

Beautifully musical and inspiring effort !
There’s hope at last for the new generation of singer-songwriters. I here many influences in her voice, but the music is her own. Cheers.
