Chantille / Who Are You?

Commentary: Chantile / Who Are You?

This combined song started as “Who Are You?” – a song about a beautiful young girl living in the Outer Hebrides who is constantly turning away the unwanted attention of young men – preferring to wander the lonely shores.

The other part, “Chantile” (which is her name), is the story of the young man who finally won her, but soon lost her to an untimely death…

…she was only seventeen.

I have also recorded “Who Are You?” by itself – as a ballad, and also as an instrumental. Watch for them!
