This is exactly what I was looking for in a Scarborough Fair cover: soft, beautiful, and slightly melancholic.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needle work (Bedclothes the child of the mountain) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) Tell her to find me an acre of land (A sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears) Between the salt water and the sea strands (And polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather (Blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And gather it all in a bunch of heather (A cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine

Thought I was tired of listening to this song so many times until I discovered your lovely version, so soothing and beautiful. Congratulations!

I was looking for a performance of the song everywhere and yours is the one I liked it most. It is full of beauty and sounds out of time in the middle of that Street, with that dog, and those comments behind, natural and very femenine, real stuff, which by the way it is what I was exactly looking for. I wrote a tale about Hamlet in England spending one day in the Scarborough fair, and the song gives some lights that enriches the story after the words.

It is not feminine at all, and I am totally against feminism to begin with, for obvious reasons. This song was written and performed by two men, Simon and Garfunkel. In fact, it is talking about a woman that is a man's true love also, in addition to the title and meanings. She does an excellent job, absolutely. No doubt about that. But this is a song written by men and referencing their love also in a female. Just to clear that up.

That's so sweet. I heard this song was made more than 400 years ago and not much people know about it ( in my country ). But even tho not much people know about it, I still find it's a very soft song with a little of sadness. I introduce my sister this song and she loves it too ( back then she used to be someone that not really like English music ).
