Good thoughts on performer's perspective on singing sad songs. Well said and well sung, Robbie. Agree that James's accordion adds good frame to the story, as well.

No one can ever sing this the way you did. It breaks my heart every time I listen to it.

I remember the first time I heard you sing this song. ❤️

Powerful, emotional, yet with inner beauty Robbie - thank you for the kind words too boy!

I always recall Mick’s quip — there won’t be dry “eyes” in the house…

It’ll be four years tomorrow of Mick’s leaving.

I remember the first time I heard you sing this in Athens, OH. Still one of my very favorites. I named by daughter Brigid after this lovely song.
