Lennon and McCartney clearly intended their first hit to be played - ultimately - on ukelele and piano accordion. Didn't they? (Karine Polwart Trio in a back garden in Oxfordshire)
The Sun's Comin' Over The Hill

This is my "good luck" song, the one that my entire sustainability as a musician sort of hangs on (it won "Best Original Song" at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2005 - an event which opened up a massive new listening audience for me and without that opportunity I'd probably be doing something else instead by now). Songs evolve as musicians evolve. And if they don't they get stale. I fell out of...
Handbasket
Переглядів 6 тис.12 років тому
"Handbasket" (Karine Polwart/Steven Polwart) one of the songs that hasn't made Karine's forthcoming album "Traces" (13th August). But we still like it. And besides what's a folk singer without a chirpy wee song (in 5/4) about preparing for Armageddon, eh?
LAst Night Of The Tour

A little wee song for the last night of the tour.
So very beautiful; love hearing their 3 voices together. Wish Karine would come to Ireland...What I'd give to hear 'Heartwood' live 💚
Beautiful.
Love this so much! Reminds me of growing up on a farm in The Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada... we always had family & friends dropping in for visits & sometimes a meal. Your song captures those feelings. Thank you for that. 💜💜💜
Like nothing on this earth
No crescendo. listening to lithium while ON lithium.
What a magical song! Left me moved and inspired, first experience of you, will follow- promise ♥️
Beautiful ❤️
Such a beautiful sad song that is so relatable pre and post pandemic. Your voices and fellow musicians are outstanding on this one!
Well… I guess we humans have a few saving graces after all….
Weeping at the beauty and heartbreak
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Utterly glorious ❤
You are a very special human bean.

wow... chills at the beauty of the message. We all have our own ways to help us recognize how multi faceted we are. Kept hitting replay.
FABULOUS SINGER:) & BEAUTIFUL VOICE
Beautiful version - Strawberry Switchblade were always a swirl of light and dark but the brght production hid the melancholy from the casual listener's ears. Ths really brings it to the fore with such elegance. Added to the Strawberry Switchblade over versions playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLX2HnBcxZSYlgPI9EHbq8no1mg-j2ief4.html&si=H9QOxjW1sLN1jKqm
That’s just wonderful. Thank you 💚
Wunderschön ❤🇩🇪
So lovely!
Such an inspiration ❤
smashin'
Lovely Song! Twas great to hear it in person @ Stoller Hall Manchester. May your Sound Check be perfectly tested And all your motorways Non congested.
Beautiful
Mighty song
Stunning!
Love this ❤
Lovely version either such a great backup of unusual instruments!
Thank you for the healing gift of your beautiful song. ✨
That voice is to die for, it just isn't fair what some people are naturally blessed with. It shows that if you've got the pipes, all you need to do is hold the tune, never mind - as so many vocalists feel compelled to do - regard the melody as a basis for negotiation and fart around with it. And what skilled, subtle, but unshowy accompaniment too. Perfection. I fill up hearing this.
I'm looking forward to seeing her at Sidmouth next month - last time she was there I failed to get a ticket as she sold out very quickly.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Lovely voice . Resonant tone and unique song.
Karine could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
Great songs are great songs. This is a great song, well done!
and the sixth is the second
and the fifth is still the third
and the fourth the future if it doesnt but is doing anyway
the sun and the moon everwhere and the third future of all of it
I have seen you, Steven and Inge 10+ times live and every gig has been special. This has always been one of my favourite's with beautiful lyrics and melody.
Just never gets old. It's my fond hope that this assemblage might get together again soonish to bring us more musical gifts. 💖
Fantastic thank you for posting….. a hand to humanity x
Absolutely fantastic ❤
Utterly heartfelt and beautiful. Thankyou.
Started off thinking 'this song is dire,' got to the halfway mark and I'm like 'Wtf,this is unreal.' 10/10
