    "I love the string bass opening which sets the mood for this very Celtic style song that is so beautifully sung by Heidi. Its the best I have heard her sing yet. This type of song really suits Heidi so well and I suspect this will be their biggest MP3.com hit to date - followed closely by One Spot On Earth The musical arrangement on this is so tight yet highly textured with lots of surprises. The fiddle and harp duet moments are really unique, yet still maintaining the feel that makes this one of the best celtic style tracks you may ever hear." (John Willmott, Editor Celtic Ways)

    Story Behind the Song
    This is the true story (at least we feel it is) of a couple that lived on the hills of Kerry, maybe a few hundred years ago.

    We both feel very close to Meghan and Robin and are touched by their fate. The ballad would apply to many fates and love stories all over Ireland throughout its history

    (i.e. Michael Collins and Kitty later on. Here some lines out of correspondence between the two:

    Kitty to Michael Oct. 1921 "...I lit a candle and prayed that God may keep you in his love and do what's best for Ireland."

    Kitty to Michael Jan. 1922 "...how I wish with all my heart that you were here where noone could be looking for you or take you away from me."

    Michael to Kitty Jan. 1922 ...I'm as happy a man as there is in Ireland today. My thoughts just now are all with you and you have every kind wish and feeling of mine.").

    Meghan and Robin came about one summer when Stef had just returned from a trip to Kerry.

    Heidi & Stef

    Lyrics
    Meghan & Robin

    High on a hillside, south of Tralee
    Meghan was craving for her love's return
    To see him home alive and free
    Was all of her concern

    Eager to see through years of pain
    Meghan was praying his life may be spared
    To wander by his side again
    Was all she craved and cared

    Years back the two were together
    Sharing their days side by side
    Meghan and Robin had peace
    Then the war brought an end to their stride

    High on a hillside south of Tralee
    Meghan was craving for her love's return
    To see him home alive and free
    Was all of her concern

    Meghan was told he was wounded
    That he'd been taken away
    No one could tell if he had died
    But she felt that he'd come back one day

    Cold were the nights on the high hills of Kerry
    Hard winds blew rain through young Meghan's brown hair
    But morning sun shone bright on the ferry
    That day there was hope in the air

    Robin soon staggered toward her
    He'd made it back to her side
    Both of them walked down to their house
    And the two could find peace 'fore he died

    High on the hillside, south of Tralee
    Meghan at ease after Robin's good bye
    Again, 'tis certain, their love will be
    Under another sky

    music: Heidi Sigfalk
