[스크랩] Danny Boy / Eva Cassidy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the flowers dying
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide
But coming back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Till's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
But when you go and all the roses falling
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Go out and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say and love babe for me
And I will feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will more than sweeter be
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me
German-American contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink (1861-1936),
one of the legendary singers of the 20th century, who, together with Caruso,
Melba and Battistini, helped to define "The Golden Age of Opera", in the ballad,
"Danny Boy" (with lyrics by Frederick Weatherly set to the tune of Londonderry Air),
recorded in September 1917 when she was at the height
of her popularity in America during World War I.

"Tears in Heaven" is a song by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings from the soundtrack
to the film Rush. The song was written about the pain and loss Clapton felt following
the death of his four-year-old son, Conor. Conor fell from a window of the 53rd-floor
New York apartment belonging to his mother's friend on March 20, 1991. Clapton
arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, and was distraught over his son's death. "Tears in Heaven" is one of Clapton's most successful songs, as it reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S. The song also stayed
three weeks as #1 on the American adult contemporary chart in 1992. <Wikipedia>
