The Magdalene Laundries - Christy Moore

Just listened to that, holy ****...

Didn't think that music could be so honest until I heard it.

Have you heard the Joni Mitchell/chieftains version of this? It's chilling

I have indeed, Mitchell does of course bring something more to it with the first person nature.

Tragically unheard song.

Iris Dement - Our Town
I love this. Reminds me of home and the small things you think of there.

From 'Finding Forrester' I think.

Nice simple song/poem written by Joseph Mary Plunkett (faught in the 1916 Rising and was executed for it) called "Grace"

Also, "Vincent", performed (and I think written) by Don McLean

read how the snatch of vocal was recorded and then listen to a powerful song

Excellent choice Dave! - not meaning to be overly pedantic but it wasn't actually written by Joseph Plunkett just from his POV. It was written in 80's by two brothers from Galway called Frank and Sean O'Meara.

Two mind bendlingly beautiful songs..

The Pogues - Rainy Night In Soho. MacGowan's finest hour.

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda written by Eric Bogle and recorded by many.. the greatest anti-war song of them all.

Dave! · 15-02-2009 12:43am

Thanks for the info

Also love 'And the Band Played...'

What about 'Green Fields of France'? Pretty sure that's Eric Bogle also. Lovely song.
