Your great great aunt actually wrote this song. It isn't actually a traditional Irish song at all, but was adapted by Karan Casey in the 1990s and that version is the one most people sing or adapt these days. You should be very proud to have had such an awesome lady in your family :)
He's got a viking folklore type of voice, I think he should sing something viking era based, he would rock it. I absolutely love all of his music. his voice is so different, so unique its absolutely mind blowing.
Joseph Ruff Viking era and Western era are almost the same only differences one was in europe on the seas and fought with swords and axes and the other was in America on land with guns. But the eras end of freedom to usher in control from christ or the federal government are essentially the same in context it's interesting the parrelells history gives us. And it teaches us true freedom is dead.
Reminiscent of Sean Nos singing - Hauntingly Beautiful my greatgrandmother, grandmother and mother used to sing this song in Irish Gaelic - From Clare County Munster & once Ireland 🇮🇪 was left, they were never able to return again-My sister and I in our 70’s now will return this summer God willing! Thank You Shawn 🍃💚🍃🇮🇪🍃🧡🍃
All of my friends fell out with me Because I kept your company But let them say whatever they will I love my love with a free good will One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me They tell me I'm poor, they tell me I'm young I tell them all to hold their tongues If they could part the sand from the sea They never could part my love from me One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me Over the mountains I must go Because my fortune is too low With an aching heart and a troubled mind For leaving my one true love behind One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me When I'm awake, I find no rest Until her head lies on my chest When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of My one, my dear, my absent love One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me. And when the fire too ice will run??? and when the tide no longer turns and when the rocks melt with the sun my love for you will have just begun One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me One I love, two she loves Three she's true to me
As an Irish person living in England this song makes me ache for Ireland, it fills A void it fills a hole in my heart it makes me remember who I am and I will forever be grateful for this song and for Shawn James for covering it ❤️🇮🇪
All of my friends fell out with me Because I kept your company Let them say whatever they will I love my love with a free good will One, I love Two, she loves And three, she's true to me They tell me he's poor, they tell me he's young I tell them all to hold their tongue If they could part the sand from the sea They never could part my love from me One, I love Two, she loves And three, she's true to me It's over the mountain he must go Because his fortune is too low With an aching heart and a troubled mind He's leaving his own true love behind One, I love Two, she loves And three, she's true to me When I'm awake, I find no rest Until his head lies on my breast When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of My one, my dear, my own true love One, I love Two, she loves And three, she's true to me And when the fire to ice will run When the tide no longer turns When the rocks melt with the sun My love for you will have just begun
So hauntingly beautiful. I listened at high volume on my ear buds to hear the nuance of the ocean waves and cave acoustics. Makes me so appreciate my Celtic ancestors.
"If they could part the sand from the sea, they never would part my love from me." Beautiful lyrics. You do them justice, Shawn. Keep that amazing sound coming!
I have horrible song ADHD when I get on TH-cam. I generally only listen to about a quarter of a song before I click on another one.. but this song entrances me so deeply that I can never seem to end it by clicking on a different video. This man has such a beautiful soul and it is shown through his singing
Oh God I love this man....his voice, his composition, and his poetic genius never cease to amaze me. I wish I would get an opportunity to look him in the eyes while he is singing. I don't believe there is one song out that I do not love. This song was very moving....
@@andrewdavis499 Thank you for your kind words. I'm not actually looking for a partner lol i just meant alone in my thoughts of another time and era...that's all lol
This song is truly beautiful. And the way you sing it... Your voice is amazing, your lyrics are touching and your music is so harmonious. You're a great artist
Very Viking and ethereal. Absolutely stunning in the natural echo chambers of the cave. Always loved music in a m Minor Key. Irish Music has this in abundance. Love, loss, bittersweet.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I've listened to this at least 10 times. Every woman and girl in the world wants a guy to dedicate a song like this to them! But since I found it first I'll dedicate to my amazing husband because this is how I feel about him. I'll just suggest he learn it and play it and sing it to me lol....but seriously how beautiful
Es increíble la magia y el poder de la música. como algo tan sencillo como una cueva y una voz puede tocar tanto el alma. Es algo que hemos olvidado pero el sentimiento cuando lo escuchamos es el mismo. I love ❤
This is going to sound crazy, but I have a cat that loves Irish ballads. His favorite is Black Velvet Band, but this is now a growing favorite with him. I'm not nearly as good at singing as you. Your voice is amazing and I'm so happy I discovered your channel. I can't wait to hear all of your songs. Just beautiful.
@@hannahtalbot7384 He does. He's so in love with music. I learned to play this song on guitar for the cat, and I need to film his reaction. He was so happy. He purred and rubbed and lay beside me for an hour while I played. Priceless. He's a treasure.
My ancestors were from this area I know they explored these caves I feel it in me heart. Ireland is my native land I would fight and die for her, only because I know the grass is truly greener there.
Imagine just strolling by the cave and hearing this beauty coming from it.
That would be so awesome
Dude, I'd assume it was a selkie.
It's probly a trap but im willing to take the risk lol
Man if I could only be so lucky
Probably some sort of Fae but I’d be willing to risk it all
Thank you ..
From an Irish man 3000 miles from his home and sitting under the American stars you make me feel home.
Keep the faith Mick🍀
I know what ya mean!
@@gerrydublinproperty .. Always brother 👍you too
@@imerinshanny .. music truly is Medicine for the soul.
Amen to that statement
This song will put you to sleep and simultaneously keep you up at night. How haunting yet so gorgeous...
@12345678910 what the fuck????
The irish know how to create the most beautiful haunting songs.
My Great Great Aunt Jean Ritchie sang this song on her albums. It's a very lovely old song. Reminded me of her. R.I.P.
JacksonsArmyWife her version is the one I was inspired by! ❤️
+Shawn James that's great to hear! She absolutely loved sharing music with everyone. You do a wonderful rendition of it.

Strange coincidences that was my mother's name
Jackson's army wife Jean Ritchie that is
Anyone with the blood of Ireland flowing through their hearts can feel this deep in their souls.
Fuck mate I'm an Aussie and I feel this. RRRIIIIGGHHHT in my first fleet.
Not only Irish ✌️🥰
I lived next to an old Irish couple growing up; all Irish songs are amazing, you can feel it in your soul!
Half irish here and I swear I felt this deep in my core. Absolutely beautiful and hypnotizing.
Felt it through every ounce of my blood 🩸
He's got a viking folklore type of voice, I think he should sing something viking era based, he would rock it. I absolutely love all of his music. his voice is so different, so unique its absolutely mind blowing.
Joseph Ruff only problem with that is most Nordic folk songs are in Norwegian danish or Swedish
I agree
Like a viking he kills it all...

How does viking folklore voice sound?

Thank You Shawn 🍃💚🍃🇮🇪🍃🧡🍃
I hear other singers voice in my ears but I feel your voice in my soul ...
It's because he is performing with using his.
Fergus A,b. So true.
Exactly how I feel
Oh how I completely agree!! I’ve never felt something so deep, so raw, just everything!
Yes, him and Amos Lee get me in my soul
All of my friends fell out with me
Because I kept your company
But let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me
They tell me I'm poor, they tell me I'm young
I tell them all to hold their tongues
If they could part the sand from the sea
They never could part my love from me
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me
Over the mountains I must go
Because my fortune is too low
With an aching heart and a troubled mind
For leaving my one true love behind
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me
When I'm awake, I find no rest
Until her head lies on my chest
When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of
My one, my dear, my absent love
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me.
And when the fire too ice will run???
and when the tide no longer turns
and when the rocks melt with the sun
my love for you will have just begun
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me
One I love, two she loves
Three she's true to me
I'd give anything for this mans skill.
His voice really fits the Irish folklore feel
Thank you, evrey word is magic. I am far from home in the front of the war, there isnt a time i dont cry when i hear thus song
I’m sickened that two years went by and youtube never recommended me this video until now
As an Irish person living in England this song makes me ache for Ireland, it fills
A void it fills a hole in my heart it makes me remember who I am and I will forever be grateful for this song and for Shawn James for covering it ❤️🇮🇪
For all the GoT fans out there .... this is the cave where Melisandre gave birth to that weird thing
Luis Pinto REALLY??
www.filmquest.co/journeys/cushendun-cave/
Luis Pinto well thx!
That makes it even better... is that possible?
I don't appreciate u calling me weird.
All of my friends fell out with me
Because I kept your company
Let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will
One, I love
Two, she loves
And three, she's true to me
They tell me he's poor, they tell me he's young
I tell them all to hold their tongue
If they could part the sand from the sea
They never could part my love from me
One, I love
Two, she loves
And three, she's true to me
It's over the mountain he must go
Because his fortune is too low
With an aching heart and a troubled mind
He's leaving his own true love behind
One, I love
Two, she loves
And three, she's true to me
When I'm awake, I find no rest
Until his head lies on my breast
When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of
My one, my dear, my own true love
One, I love
Two, she loves
And three, she's true to me
And when the fire to ice will run
When the tide no longer turns
When the rocks melt with the sun
My love for you will have just begun
You are God dude! thanks for the lyrics

So hauntingly beautiful. I listened at high volume on my ear buds to hear the nuance of the ocean waves and cave acoustics. Makes me so appreciate my Celtic ancestors.
I will never have the one I love but at least I can sing this song with sorrow.
Am i the only one who gets a Scarborough Fair vibe from this. None the less, amazing!!!
sachureedas i mean it IS an Irish folk song lol. ;)
Beladrid oh is it? Well that makes sense then. Thnx for the info
Well now I kinda want him to do a cover of Scarborough Fair.
funny, I had Scarborough Fair in my head after hearing this.
That song brought me here
Shawn James has the best voice. My late husband introduced me to his music. I'm glad he did
Proud to have been Irish in another life, body remembers, soul remembers 🍀
every once in a while TH-cam recommends me something wonderful like this
Never clicked so fast on a video before
Neither have I, lol. LOVE him, he's absolutely fantastic!!!
Brought a tear to my eye, beautiful ❤
"If they could part the sand from the sea, they never would part my love from me." Beautiful lyrics. You do them justice, Shawn. Keep that amazing sound coming!
Otherworldly. Thank you, cheers and slán.
I'm on the right side of internet
i love you brother , you have helped me in so many ways .
I have horrible song ADHD when I get on TH-cam. I generally only listen to about a quarter of a song before I click on another one.. but this song entrances me so deeply that I can never seem to end it by clicking on a different video.
This man has such a beautiful soul and it is shown through his singing
I miss you Ireland 🇮🇪
this should be on spotify like right now
I want to live in Ireland, yes please.
i feel like this man and song dont get the recognition they deserve, amazing
Powerful. A soft grip on the soul, squeezing but not strangling.
His voice is raw and a gift from Creator - His voice is a powerful instrument! ✨🕊✨❤️✨
Unfreakingbelievable sound there. You can almost see the ghosts conjured all in attendance....some dancing.lovers passed. Beautifully haunting.
I love you Shawn James! Brazilians love their songs!❤
Aline Baronne Esse vídeo e o que ele canta na neve perto de uns lobos são os meus preferidos agr, esse cara é dimais
Lucas Rogerio é? Descobri o trabalho dele a pouco tempo, e tô simplesmente apaixonada! Obrigada pela dica! ^^
Aline Baronne Caso queira seria bom baixar ou comprar os álbuns dele lançados desde 2012, tem muitas músicas maravilhosas.
As músicas do Shawn são fantásticas, com letras incríveis.. dps q ouvi The Thief and the moon' virei fã, e Flow' é minha preferida!
Lucas Rogerio boa dica! 😊
Still listening too this oldie but goodie
I'm from Sardinia (Italy), and I'm literally in love with Irish Folk Music.
Thank you, sir, for this beautiful piece.
Greetings from my Island
We played this song at our wedding today and everyone loved it. Thank you, sir. Slainte
Oh God I love this man....his voice, his composition, and his poetic genius never cease to amaze me. I wish I would get an opportunity to look him in the eyes while he is singing. I don't believe there is one song out that I do not love. This song was very moving....
Don't forget the beard.
I could drown in Shawn's voice
You are a Reincarnation of a 12th century Troubador
Omg, this song is so very beautiful, that is a love that I want.
His opening note made me want to marry him I swear to god this is enchanting
Love the troubadour. One guy. One guitar. One story.
This song was absolutely gorgeous!
Powerful. Haunting. Touching.
What a good notification to wake up too
For the one love in this live! Thanks so much for this feeling!!!!
Big respect from Greece great singer you make my day every time i hear you!!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
More traditional Irish songs please. Wonderfuly done!
Made me cry, not even going to lie.
Once again, this makes me homesick for a time and place I've never been. I was born in the wrong era...I feel so alone...
If you find god, you're never alone again.
@@andrewdavis499 I have actually thank you, that's not what I meant though.
Pray for a partner. I did and have now it's been thirteen years and two children. I love her still. Be well and gods speed!
@@andrewdavis499 Thank you for your kind words. I'm not actually looking for a partner lol i just meant alone in my thoughts of another time and era...that's all lol
😂😂😂 loneliness almost killed me. I took your comment way deep. I see, I see. I too feel distant from this era. Have a blessed life.
So true, the feeling is amazing :) Thank you….
Ahhhh I thought I was the only one who sang in caves, could this be the cave man of my dreams😂 what a majestic voice, beautiful 🙏
YOUR SIMPLICITY IS GOAT...I LOVE YOU BROTHER...
IRISHMEN HOORAHHHHHH
I used to hear my grandmother and grandfather play this when I was real young. You did a wonderful job. Thank u for this my friend.
Just when I thought I couldn't like Shawn anymore 💙
This song is truly beautiful. And the way you sing it... Your voice is amazing, your lyrics are touching and your music is so harmonious. You're a great artist
TWO YEARS AGO AND STILL GET THE FEELS AND THE CHILLS
I could fall asleep listening to him. I feel calm and comferted for some reason.
lay your head on my heart. Listen to every beat for each is for you
Very Viking and ethereal. Absolutely stunning in the natural echo chambers of the cave. Always loved music in a m
Minor Key. Irish Music has this in abundance. Love, loss, bittersweet.
This song touches my soul

You 're creating paradise with a guitar and your soul voice..
I can't get this song out of my head. Well done.
The day I met my girlfriend, she made me listen to this song, now we broke up, I'm listening to this song on our last day
Been telling everyone and their mother about Mr. James . What a talent !

this gave me goosebumps all over, had me listen to the total song almost in a state of melancholic rememberance of when I lived in Ireland
My daughter got to visit this beautiful country at year. Beautiful music to go with that wondrous countryside
Your voice transports me to beautiful places
You knocked it out of the cave, brother ❤
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I've listened to this at least 10 times.

Thank you for sharing. I am Irish. I am proud of you. Beautiful, calming song.
I think you should do "Jenny of Oldstones" (Game of Thrones Season 8 OST - Podricks Song). It would be...
For sure!
@@wint3rki11 WITH Florence Welch
I'm back again because I can't NOT listen to this over and over again. Just beautiful
Goodness
This song .. it makes me yearn for a home I've never known
Muito gira esta música.
