NOTE: please keep in mind for all of these that I don’t have any of the DVDs (yet) and haven’t been to any concerts (yet) so although there’s probably some special version they did with Alex, Muirgen, Hayley, and Mairéad Z (the secret lost member only the real fans know about), I’m going off of somewhat limited experience and these are the only versions I know of so far. I believe there might be a version of this song by Lynn that some on here have seen in concert, but I don’t believe that’s on any of the DVDs and it certainly isn’t on any CDs, so I’m not including that.
Anyway, another classic! My personal favourite is the original (which will be a recurring theme on here), but I love all of these! There’s just something so enchanting about the original arrangement combined with Méav’s voice. I especially love the part where she’s singing back and forth with that other lad. It gives me chills to this day. I also like the 20th anniversary one, everyone performed amazingly and it’s very catchy.

I really love Mairead's version bc she makes it sound like so much fun on the Homecoming recording. And I love the "intro" to Lisa's version.
But there was so much meaning to the 20th version. Meav's return, and the symbolic nature of the choreography (i.e. everyone giving center stage to Meav on "her" song). So I voted for the 20th.

I agree on the 20th anniversary one! I also like how they had Méav sing the rearranged version first in Voices Of Angels. It felt as though they had to ask her permission to change it because she’d performed it so well.

Meav was a musical director during that time and it was automatically made a new version because all the Celtic Woman songs were needing to be arranged differently!

The new arrangement 2016 with Meav is far superior than with Mairead C to me but because 20th Anniversary is basically both of them together doing it and Meav performing it on a Special makes it finally and a Dream Come True! 8)* :P
