Beautiful Christine - thank you - Anne 🌿

Every morning at around 5 a.m for a few years now, I sit in the quiet of my living room with a cup of coffee and listen to this song. Every morning. It means so much to me because I love it for so long now. It feels like it has seen so much of me through the years (my cheerful and lighthearted mornings and the desperate mornings I prayed to God to please finally kill me) and is still there for me. Your voice is like the voice of an old friend for me. It is the voice of hope for me, that I will still be there tomorrow, in the morning, with my cup of coffee and your song and will make it through another day. I am so deeply thankful. Since english is not my first language, I hope you can understand me nonetheless.

Oh the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? I will build my love a bower Near yon' pure crystal fountain And on it I will pluck All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go, Lassie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? If my true love she were gone I would surely find another To pluck wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go?

love your version of my new favourite song. Found it because I was wanting to learn it and now I have to do the open tuning too! As a recording engineer the single mic and the church acoustics was perfect for your voice and guitar...nicely placed, great choice of mic and setting! High pitched sound supposed to be crickets but comes out a little harsh and I would remove it if you can. Other than that wow...the bass and highs of your guitar are wonderful...mix with your voice is spot on!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! I arranged it in the standard open tuning of DADGAD, but tuned down a whole step from that, so the actual tuning I used was CGCFGC, which created a really deep and resonant sound. Cheers!
