Part 2 from the live video session at Normal Heights United Methodist Church. I had the good fortune to be able to play this song at J. Curran's pub in Dingle, Ireland last year. I made some new friends there (Phillip, Philomena, Chris, Tom, Murphy, James, and Eoin) who listened intently and made me feel welcome. I hope our paths cross again! Video filmed and produced by Masen Larsen.
Technically D-A-D-G-A-D tuning, but then I tuned everything down a whole step from that, so in reality it's C-G-C-F-G-C.
Special thanks to Jeremy Ogilve and Brent Ross of Normal Heights UMC (nhunited.org/) for hosting us, and to Breedlove Guitars (breedlovemusic.com/) for making great instruments! - เพลง
Every morning at around 5 a.m for a few years now, I sit in the quiet of my living room with a cup of coffee and listen to this song. Every morning. It means so much to me because I love it for so long now. It feels like it has seen so much of me through the years (my cheerful and lighthearted mornings and the desperate mornings I prayed to God to please finally kill me) and is still there for me. Your voice is like the voice of an old friend for me. It is the voice of hope for me, that I will still be there tomorrow, in the morning, with my cup of coffee and your song and will make it through another day. I am so deeply thankful. Since english is not my first language, I hope you can understand me nonetheless.
❤❤❤
Your ok. Never give up. This is a beautiful wee tune.
❤❤❤
Great stuff. Love your life Carina. Many don't have the opportunity. ty 4 nice version
What a wonderful peaceful way to start your day. Beautiful song, never fails to move me.
And if my true love's gone, I will surely find no other.
She takes this tune to a completely new level of beauty
Thanks for listening!
What a beautiful song sung with amazing beauty
There is nothing more beautiful than true simplicity. With your voice and your guitar you don't need anything else.
Your interpretation is beautiful.. it is fresh air for the soul. Thank you !!!
I've heard many renditions of this song over many years, but this is hands down the best. The tempo, voice and open tuning all come together perfectly, and the video is done tastefully in monochrome. Bravo.
Thanks, David! My videographer and audio engineer did an amazing job. Glad you enjoyed it!
you've said that about 5 different versions Dave. lol
Genuinely one of the nicest things on the entire internet.
Thanks, Brian!
As a 62 year old who spends a lot of time in Scotland and has heard many versions of this, this is the best-the one that touches me the most. Well done, and thank you. You should release it.
Thank you! Glad you found this version, and glad that it moves you!
Many words, many languages...'Joy' is a universal thing and you can ❤️
Thanks Iain! Grateful for you listening :-)
Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
I will build my love a bower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pluck
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
To pluck wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
I have goosebumps on goosebumps!! 🙏🏻

I adore this song. This is by far one of the best versions on TH-cam, and I think I've heard them all.

Danke, für das wunderschöne Lied, Deine Stimme Deine Begleitung ist in Harmonie in diesem Lied miteinander verschmolzen.
Christine, I have listened to several versions of "Wild Mountain Thyme" and I have to say that your version is the one that has transmitted the most to me, it is the one that I like the most. Thanks for your video. Greetings from Valencia, Spain. ;o)
I'm so glad! Appreciate you listening!
The very first time I heard this song, it was sung by the Byrds back in the 60's. I have been collecting renditions of it, every since. Singularly, one of the most beautiful pieces ever written and sung. Ms. Parker's rendition? .... simple S T U N N I N G ... and I thank her for this video and chance to hear it once more.
Thank you!!
@@ChristineParkerMusic You're more than welcome.
Intense. She makes this song her own. Way cool.
Thanks so much!!
Very nice indeed
I wish this was longer.... one of the best interpretations of this song
Just introduced today to this song by The Corries. Searched for other versions and landed here for my second time to hear it. Wasn’t disappointed. Very good.
Thanks so much, Warren!
Covering this version at my wedding…your version does the song justice while making it modern

Nice job Christine! It's hard to do a traditional song with a different spin and you certainly do the song justice.
Thanks, Peter! Glad you liked my take on it :)
From one Parker to another, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Woo hoo! :) Glad you enjoyed
So so good! I love the chords you use; just beautiful in the simple progression- means it doesn't take focus from your voice.Yours is my favourite cover of this song on TH-cam. You have a big fan in Australia and all my friends I share this with think you are something too x
Thanks so much! Glad you and your friends like it :-) I love Australia - I have a good friend that lives there and have visited a few times.
The Strum makes the difference, and makes this version so different - then your beautiful voice. Wonderful
Really, really nice. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
Thanks so much!
Wow just found this rendition of one of my favorite Irish songs - Van Morrison's version has been my go to version. But this is perfection! Love your voice and this version!
Thank you so much!!
Beautifull!! Thank you.

Truly very, very nice... Love it!!
Thanks so much, James!

Such a beautiful version. Great voice and I love the guitar work on it.
Thank you!!
Inspirational version - Bravo!
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful, really wonderful!
Thank you!!
@@ChristineParkerMusic Christine, both you and Sarah Calderwood stand out as very high quality renditions of "Wild Mountain Thyme" compared to the "rest." 💓
Brava really lovely. Kisses from Florence little one!!!!!!!!!!!
Sehr schön
love your version of my new favourite song. Found it because I was wanting to learn it and now I have to do the open tuning too! As a recording engineer the single mic and the church acoustics was perfect for your voice and guitar...nicely placed, great choice of mic and setting! High pitched sound supposed to be crickets but comes out a little harsh and I would remove it if you can. Other than that wow...the bass and highs of your guitar are wonderful...mix with your voice is spot on!
I do hope you are still performing Live,… I would make sure I was seated in the front row !!!

Thank you!!
My new fav. as well
Yay!
wonderful
Thank you!
Hermosa canción. 😀💋
¡Muchas gracias!
Guria tô sempre aqui...
Eu amo por demais sua voz!❤
obrigada!!
I'm on a bit of a Wild Mountain Thyme chase here on TH-cam and this is indeed one of the best. It has a swing to it which I like! I also like that it's still simple and clear without too much instrumentation. Never heard of Christine Parker before but I have subscribed & will check out more.
Thank you!!
It is lovely. Have U heard Alexandra Whittingham on guitar only tis lovely too
Beautiful rendition of one of the world's great songs. I love the open tuning. I play it just like that myself. Love the tone on the guitar as well. Well done, my friend.
Thanks Steve! Glad you like it!
@Steve Roberts, my daughter wants to learn it but we can't find the tabs for the main chords, would you mind sharing the chords you use? Thanks!
This is the one
This is sweet! Love the open tuning!
Thanks Jonathan!
Please could you tell us wich tunning is it ?! 😊
Very beautiful version of this song ! The best one for me ! Congratulations ! 🎉
Mira que hay versiones geniales de esta canción, pero esta es, quizá, la mejor que he escuchado
Muchas gracias, Ángel!
I love this version - could you put it on Spotify?
Christine could you attempt the Burns song Ca the Ewes? would be lovely to hear it sung by you. :)
Christine, thanks for this video! I heard this song in Ireland in 2014 and thought the melody was beautiful, but couldn't make out the words to find it on the net. Heard it by happenstance today and jumped on here to find a version I liked. This was hands down the best! Beautiful voice, and great guitar work. What tuning? Keep it up!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! I arranged it in the standard open tuning of DADGAD, but tuned down a whole step from that, so the actual tuning I used was CGCFGC, which created a really deep and resonant sound. Cheers!
Scottish song from a poem by Robert Tannahill
Wow that was nice
Thank you!
@@ChristineParkerMusic do u mind me asking u what tuning ur using?
@@guitarhiker9671 I believe it was CGCFCE.
Christine, this is wonderful... and why have you got 393 subscribers... let's spread the word.
Que lindo guria!!!
👍👍👍
I will surely find another...
Awsome, I only have one problem.Why can you only like a song once 🤣.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!
