Cruachan The Hawthorn

A track steeped in Irish folklore, Cruachan’s ‘The Hawthorn’ is set in Ireland during the 1700’s when the population were heavily under the influence of the Catholic church while still holding onto old Pagan beliefs.

It is extremely unlucky to cut down a hawthorn tree else you anger the Faerie folk. In the song, the woman is taking her dead baby to bury under the tree, to give her baby to the faeries.
