It makes me think of love and heartache. And like any good song, hope. If you are in a bad place, guaranteed there is a better one over the hill. Buy a ticket on the bus and sit in the back.
I don't mean to be weird or creepy, but I've thought about your comment, specifically saying it's a life prayer, on and off over the past 2 years when I think of this song, and that statement is so utterly true.
Hung out at The Earl Of Old Town with Blaze and Mike Jordan in Chicago before he moved to Austin. We got wasted on tequila boilermakers. lol Jimmy Johnson the bartender threw us out because we were getting a little rowdy. Later at Mike Jordan's place in Rogers Park we passed the guitar around. Blaze had just written Election Day. They've both passed on. It's good to Blaze's music, but hurts to have him gone. He wasn't a king or a choirboy. Just a big loud guy with a great big heart.
I'm excited Aoife has a new album coming out. This song was what turned me onto her. I think this and John Prine's are the two best covers of an amazing song.
Yes, I love Blaze and this may as good as he did it. This is probably the best cover of this great song that I've heard. She did her way, yet still respected the soul of the song.
Speaks volumes to the qualities of this song, that John Prine covered it. One of my favorites. Blaze Foley was an amazing talent, just about as complicated as his music.
Good to see a cover of a song give attribution to the writer, too many TH-cam vids do not. Blaze Foley, John Prine and now a beautiful lady with a angelic voice demonstrates how good a song this is.
I love the original version of this song. Not necessarily John Prines version. But her singing this song you can feel the heart and soul in it. Made the hairs on my arms stand up and gave me chill bumps. Damn nice clip and the fact she mentions Blaze is great too.
Great Song! I've heard lots of folks sing it but most don't convey the heart hidden in the song. You can hear it when Blaze sang it and you can hear it when you do. Thanks!
Number One THE BEST cover of Clay Pigeons...Goooooood Lawdy, incredible! 😢 Beautiful voice my friend. I’ve been a Blaze and Prine fan for over 15 years...Thank you for your part in the journey of this beautiful song.
That's BIG folks!!!!! .... recognition should be much bigger for this artist ... she's a WORLDCLASSS singer!!!! ... and ... there's no need to compare to anybody else!!! ...
You certainly have a beautiful voice. I was only familiar with John Prine's version, then I heard Blaze Foley, and then you. Wonderful I like them all.
I’m glad she covered this song. Loved her already, but my respect for her just went up enormously. John Prine and the great Blaze Foley. Thank you, Aoife. You did the song proud.

I reckon very few could ever capture the heartache and longing in this song. John was one of them. Aoife is another. Beautiful.

Good heavens that song was written for three people and you are one of them
This song popped into my feed during the worst week of my life. I laid on the floor and sobbed while this song played on repeat.
You ok?
Getting there.
@@SaltySam43 Me too. It truly touched me.
Such a somber song while still giving hope. A masterpiece and Aoife covered is to perfection.
My late brother loved that tortured soul almost as much as whiskey soaked cornbread
R I P Blaze & Tony
This is one of those songs that you hear it once and need to learn so it can be shared.
Moved beyond words.. Its not a song. Its a life prayer.
I don't mean to be weird or creepy, but I've thought about your comment, specifically saying it's a life prayer, on and off over the past 2 years when I think of this song, and that statement is so utterly true.
Wow. What a voice! I just tripped over this version today. An amazing cover of perhaps my favorite song. Now am an instant Aoife fan!
Why doesnt music like this have a bigger following?
Music as an art is lost. It's all about the clicks.
Thanks for giving Blaze his credit 😊 ❤ you are fantastic
I can't remember the last time music brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful beyond description.
This tune rips your heart out. RIP Blaze
Beautiful singing to a beautiful song! RIP Blaze, you are a Legend!
Lovely! Thank you. "I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go."
😊

That was beautiful and gently delivered. I think Blaze would love it.
Beautiful. You knew your song well before you started singing. I love that. You did Blaze well.
This song could have been written about my brother. He introduced me to it . He is gone now but when I hear I got back… beautiful.
Beautiful version of a great song.
That was an amazing version.. well done
Planned to get to work early this morning. But now I’m late. That’s what happens when ya listen to this rendition 10 times in a row. Very nice!
One of my favorite songs performed by one of the most beautiful woman.
Oh shit...what an amazingly sweet cover of Pigeons. I couldn't begin to imagine this lyric from a woman's perspective, but she kills it
Yes, I love Blaze and this may as good as he did it. This is probably the best cover of this great song that I've heard. She did her way, yet still respected the soul of the song.
She is awesome love this girl well done
Speaks volumes to the qualities of this song, that John Prine covered it. One of my favorites. Blaze Foley was an amazing talent, just about as complicated as his music.
Bryant W merle Haggard covered it too.
Beautiful song Beautifully done! Bravo! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Just when I think I couldn't possibly like Aoife any more than I already do, she proves me wrong.

Beautiful song. Love it. Thanks so much!
Wonderfully Done … one of the best I’ve seen folks do . Hope I get to see you play again ! 👍👌
Always liked John Prine. Never heard this before until this cover.
Edmonton Folk Fest are you hearing this 👉🏾
Heaven is Aoife singing beautiful songs.
I love the original version of this song. Not necessarily John Prines version. But her singing this song you can feel the heart and soul in it. Made the hairs on my arms stand up and gave me chill bumps. Damn nice clip and the fact she mentions Blaze is great too.
What a soulful singer, story teller. Love this cover. ❤❤
Wow. So beautiful... that song is a Masterpiece.
Beautiful
Thank you so much for this beauty.
WELL DONE LADY WELL DONE !!
Great Song! I've heard lots of folks sing it but most don't convey the heart hidden in the song. You can hear it when Blaze sang it and you can hear it when you do. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the cover and props to Blaze. And for not changing the lyrics like John did. You conveyed the true meaning of the song.
Thanks for mentioning Blaze Foley. This is a beautiful performance.
That was a beautiful cover.
Sublime ....
Number One THE BEST cover of Clay Pigeons...Goooooood Lawdy, incredible! 😢 Beautiful voice my friend. I’ve been a Blaze and Prine fan for over 15 years...Thank you for your part in the journey of this beautiful song.
one of the most beautiful covers i've ever seen. That ones that end up being even better than the original...
My favorite Blaze Foley song by far!
Lyrics simply beautiful. No wonder someone was at Ms O'Donovan to learn the song...more than a song for sure. Beautiful rendition.
This is easily one of my favorite covers.
One of the greatest versions right here
Very nice. Thank you.
California, here's some of Texas. Well done!!! Magnificent.
The beauty of Foley's songs were their simplicity in annunciation, clear strong melody with some pickin and you got it.
Well done .
Don't forget amazing lyrics
Wow. One of my favorite songs and this little lady just socked me right in the heart with this great rendition.
That's BIG folks!!!!! .... recognition should be much bigger for this artist ... she's a WORLDCLASSS singer!!!! ... and ... there's no need to compare to anybody else!!! ...
I don't cry easily, but I teared up during this. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you. Long live the Blaze.
You certainly have a beautiful voice. I was only familiar with John Prine's version, then I heard Blaze Foley, and then you. Wonderful I like them all.
