You Can't Say No to an Irish Chanteuse

Here are two versions of the same song, by this selkie-voiced lass. Personally, I find the live version more whimsical, but you've got to love the craft-nerd action in the official music video.

I thought of you right away, and how we should be obsessing over her together and playing in the sunshine grass!
(well, right after I thought "Lisa Hannigan, we are kindred mermaid souls in a rough and lovely world!")

i love her. and i agree, i kindof like the live version a little better (not sure if i would call it whimsical) but the crafts in the official version are a-mazing!

omigod. It is totally whimsical. Trust me, I know whimsy. the little doll house, the dancing children, the irish pub, the grouchy barman, the little window, the old ladies, the makeshift drum, her little cap, the smoky little love song, so so whimsical.

crafts = awesome.

"Selkie-voiced" lass lol. I love your way with words, Clara! When are you going to write a book?

[nuclearvenus]

I knew you would know what that meant!
Maybe when I retire, if I don't get too jaded first :)
