This is to be described as a performance of this time worn ballad that brings heaven to earth. I have heard Tori Amos sing this ballard unacompanied and I have heared the equally magical Nox Arcarna version of the song. But this is a cover of the song that rivals both of those versions - and that is something to say.

"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional folk song from Britain, dating back to the 19th century and possibly even earlier. The song gained renewed popularity during the folk revival movement in the 1960s, especially after being recorded by artists like Simon & Garfunkel. The lyrics of "Scarborough Fair" describe a series of impossible tasks that a former lover asks the narrator to perform in order to win back their love. These tasks include gathering rare herbs at Scarborough Fair, making a shirt without seams, and washing it in a stream where there is no water, among others. The music has a distinctive and nostalgic melody, and its poetic lyrics evoke vivid imagery of rural life and folk traditions in England. It has been adapted and re-recorded by various artists over the years, maintaining its timeless appeal and connection to the roots of British folk music.
