Hahaha!I was thinking exactly the same.And she'd still be better than 99.9% of the crap that passes for music these days.Her voice is just stunning.What a brilliant songwriter too.
Aaaaah, Karine, as usual, beautiful. That is my favorite rendition of that lovely song. our ancestors are proud of you im shore...I am! King of birds is great as well. xx
First heard Karine perform this on a Radio 4 programme a couple of years ago (Loose Ends?) And was blown away. Been looking for this for so long. So happy I found it. Thank you for capturing such a pure performance so well.
I so love it when traditional musicians reclaim 'art' songs, to deliver the heartfelt content in a more honourable way -- IMHO -- than many classically trained singers. (Just as a wee side-step, take a listen to Kenneth McKellar -- classically trained -- singing Handel's 'Say, have you seen my lady': an operatic voice which delivers the text in an emotionally connected way.)

I am wondering the same thing. I would love to know the name of this instrument and the tuning of the strings ... assuming lowest D to highest tuning, unlike ukelele. DGAD?
It's a tenor guitar. Mr. Google tells me it is often tuned in fifths C G D A (like a tenor banjo) but the alternative Chicago tuning in fourths DGBE (as baritone uke or guitar top 4) is sometimes used. DGBD and GDAE are also known.
I have heard so many overproduced versions of this song. This is how it is meant to be sung pared-down as as clear as a ringing bell.
I could listen to Karine Polwart sing the telephone directory ...

Slainte, Karine. Yours is truly a voice for the ages.
I love this even more than the version on your CD, Karine. You and that tenor guitar are just absolutely perfect.
Love the chord progressions and meter changes. Just lovely!
This is one of the loveliest things I have encountered on the net.. it is exquisite.
This video is beautifully produced. Well done. And so sweet.
I would buy this immediately if it were released. Please, please please release this and any other trad stuff with just you and your tenor guitar.
This has now become my favourite performance of my favourite song. Thanks very much.
This is the first time, I've ever heard this and it is stunningly beautiful. Thank you to all!!!
You just made me cry, how very beautiful
Gorgeous, one of the best versions I've ever heard :-) Great guitar-playing too...
Like as Dick Gaughan, but gentle, the edge without the angst. KP flew my heart to heaven.....

Beautiful voice and ukulele playing...just gorgeous
l think it's a tenor guitar!
@@concertinasteve Mmm, I did *wonder* : "Ukelele"? That's not a *uke*... is it?
Certainly one of Scotland’s finest artists ,,,,,,,lovely player and of course one of the foremost composers that we have ,,,,,,,,
Och Karine, bless you.
Beautiful and mesmerising. Your voice is as perfect as ever. ❤️
Superb

This is such a wonderful recording. Thank you, Karine.
The most beautiful rendition I've ever heard, of a lovely melody.
I love her voice and music. So peaceful and soothing though the words may be a bit sad

I think it's " Did you not hear my lady" but I have just listened to it and I totally agree with your comment.
Great voice & performance
Very beautifully written, recorded and performed... Thank you very much!
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Lovely!
Your voice is so beautiful ❤️
I love her.
Truly fine Karine.
Where can I download this?? Beautiful version. Pure serenity.
❤️
❣️
Lovely. My Granda sang this, and this reminds me of his simple version. WHAT INSTRUMENT IS KARINE PLAYING?
Tenor guitar.
Is it possible to release this version? I much prefer it to the one on the album. Thank you
I could listen to Karine sing tax audit reports
I’d love to buy this version !
Is it possible?
Is that some kind of giant ukelele?
Stunning performance whatever it is. Heartbreaking, in a good way.
I am wondering the same thing. I would love to know the name of this instrument and the tuning of the strings ... assuming lowest D to highest tuning, unlike ukelele. DGAD?

I ask myself what kind of empty person dislikes this video.
what key is this in? beautiful by the way!
Is that a *banjo*? Looks like one.
Tenor guitar
@@restlessnomad5924 would you know what the tuning is.thanks
@@liamdunne2227 I assume lowest to highest DGAD (DADGAD without the lowest 2 strings), though not positive
