this isn't a great video, you guys, but it's a great song. "If I Came Back as a Song" by Barnaby Bright.

Oh, you guys have to check out Black Crow/White Crow from Laramie, WY. They aren't well-known yet, and just play locally, but great harmonies, sweet voices, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass. Outstanding listening.

i am so surprised that you guys don't know red molly yet. they have been a big sensation here in the philly area for a little while now. but they are getting bigger and more nationally known. they have song after song of beautiful old timey harmonies. and they are wonderful live too. check them out all over itunes and youtube!!!

What pure, lovely voices they have! Thank you, Lisa - I'll be looking for more of their tunes!!

I'm a sucker for harmonies (always loved bands like the Hollies and CSNY). It's one of the reasons I always loved the Allman Brothers - those guitar harmonies were magical!

There's a band out there called Clandestine. When I first saw them there were two women in it with voices that were much like Red Molly's. Sadly one of the women left - they're still a great band but I so miss their harmonies!

Lillian - can't explain what the song does to me. But it has had this effect from the first time I heard it - it was a poor recording of the demo and you couldn't understand the words at all, so a lot of my reaction was solely to the instrumentation. The way the fiddle and the 'pipes "interact" turns me inside out. For years, whenever I heard the opening strains, I'd start to puddle up - kind of embarrassing because a lot of the times I was listening, it was live and I was in a crowd of people!

When I learned the lyrics, it moved me even more. Not sure what inspired them, but I can imagine it was painful. I've often been tempted to ask the songwriter about it, but it just seems so personal...

...thanks for posting your love of music. I like that this video showed the words, so I could hear the story. Although, Celtic music is not my cup of tea, I listened.... blame is such a waste of energy, isn't it! I'm curious as to what that means to you, "hit me like a fist to the gut"... sounds like it hurts.

Here's a song by the band that got our family hooked on Celtic music. This one is an original, not too Celtic (except for the 'pipes) but I LOVE the blend of the fiddle and 'pipes. It never fails to hit me like a fist to the gut.

Lillian, was he the guy from Puerto Rico? I don't watch that show, but I happened to be flicking through when I saw him. He was magnificent!
