Diane Jennings is a Youtube content creator from Ireland. To accompany her upcoming series where she travels to New York she and Producer Conor Lenehan cover this beautiful song. Graham, Brendan. "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears."
One of the most heartbreaking songs about emigration is “Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears.” It tells the story of the first person to enter America through Ellis Island - a young Irish girl named Annie Moore and talks about leaving everything behind and starting over in a new place. It compares Ireland - the isle of tears - and the Isle of Manhattan - isle of hope.
According to the historical records kept by The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc, the song takes a few liberties. Annie is actually seventeen, according to their records, and she wasn't traveling alone. She had her two younger brothers, Anthony and Philip, with her and the three children were meeting their parents in New York, who had come before them ("Annie Moore").
