    9:13

  • das ist einfach ein glasse Lied ist hat einfach was besonderes

  • This is so deep and beautiful music. Thank You so much for sharing...

  • It's so touching and tragic, she made this song soon after her brother had passed away.

  • En la lengua española no existe la palabra adecuada para describir tanta belleza, tanta perfección, tanto sentimiento. Quizás en el idioma celestial podremos encontrar la respuesta.

  • Oh, Really I like this musician so much!! Her words, and the way that she speak across the songs and melodies... In the night, I close my eyes to remeber all the feelings that in other moment i keep to myself, but with her​singing she does settle. I Love Loreena!!!!

  • Why I can not stop crying?

    Thank you so much for this video!

  • OH I get it now. That's why it's called Penelope's song :) I love this song as well as all her other songs!!!

  • I have always deeply beleived that music is that one and only special voice that links us directly to heaven. It is how we cry out and are heard. It is the best way that we hear wisdom and truth from above. This wonderful woman and her incredible music must be a special messenger sent to bring us truth and love and wisdom and to show us the great beauty of God's heart. And to show Him ours. Thank you Loreena. You are an angel. May you live forever.

  • Волшебный голос!!!

  • i love the lyrics, long as the day in the summer time, deep as the wine dark sea. i will keep your heart with mine , till you come to me.

  • I keep coming back for more what is that feeling I get .Magical !!!!

  • The eternal Greek myth of Penelope waiting for her husband Ulysses (ΟΔΥΣΣΕΑΣ in Greek ) to return from Troia...The Keeper of the house waiting for the Hunter to come back .....One more sign of how deeply  Greece affected the Human civilization through the centuries....

  • @venthesikimis thanks for those words

  • wow, she can sing so well ! :O

    remembers me the titanic song :)

  • La voz de Loreena es un poema; me hace libre, me pone alas. Loreena es la encarnación de la virtud. Con esta canción me siento transportado a los cielos.

  • What can I say? Just another great song from this angel.

  • Wow! All I can say is "Wow!"

  • Loreena has been my favorite musician since I was a teenager (30s now). There has never been a song she's produced that I haven't liked. Part of me wishes there were others like her, but then this wouldn't be as special as it is.

  • @malakhhatzadik Your comment was so wise.I feel more happy now...

  • this song reminds me of another beautiful song called "Gabriela's song" of the movie As it is in Heaven

  • @altasreflexoes I couldn't agree more

  • i love her

  • from canada loreena mckennitt has spent considerable time researching celtic customs, music and dance earning her the highest respect of the celtic community.

  • I think of myself as, not the typical "macho" male trying hard to cover "weak" emotions, but someone who's been through so much, that my feelings have hardened and I rarely feel sad, depressed, love or empathy for anything or anyone even tragedies...but this song really gets to me for some reason. i love it.

  • @kefka3 its cos your human mate ;) I know what you mean, believe me

  • There is Something so deep and beautiful in this song.It makes me tear up and gives me shivers.She has one of the most beautiful voices ever heard.I am blown away and thats puting it lightly.

  • ...why I cry like a fool?

  • This song touches your heart and it's just so beautiful

  • U.S.A. HERE I DREAM OF ARE FREEDOOM BACK FROM ONE WROLD ORDER IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE GATHER AN FIGHT V ' FOR FREEDOOM

  • @owofighter same ppl. that locked penelope in tower are still fighting to control the world as their god is lucifer. His ppl. next isle over english castles who invaded america 1774. They teach our children lies. We who are god's children around the world will fight this fight final....MANY ARE WAKING TO THE LIES AND HORORS THX TO MANY BRAVE SPEAKERS. they might not be at the finish line but you will. NEVER FORGET LESS YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN CAPTURED BY LUCIFER'S LIES.

  • Loreena McKennitt, su música y su voz representan el equilibrio perfecto. Cuando la escucho, me siento transportado a los cielos. Lo único que atino a decir es que Dios existe.

  • With wings of an angel and sound that surpassed time. Her spirit kept forward for all those who listen. Words are our most powerful force and together with sound,,,,,we leave time to listen. Again,you do inspire ! Fergy.

  • Simplement magique, et des souvenirs très personnels gravés sur ses chansons intemporelles. Merci Loreena. Thank you for who you are.

  • This video should have 100,000,000,000,000 views !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every time i listen to this song, i just go back in time and remember all the sad points in my life !! this is very an inspirational song.......

  • @blankooo7 geht mir genau so. es ist ein wuncerschönes lied und ein warmes, rühriges gefühl. sorry mein englisch ist nicht so gut,

  • watching Loreena's performance in the Alhambra inspired me to go there this summer :) it's spectacular, and I can only imagine what it would have been like to be in the audience of that show

  • I played those tapes soooooooo many times that I wore them out. Lost touch with her music for many yrs. Well...listening to Coast 2 coast again. Yup, heard one of her songs. Hooked again. Been watching her on here for several hours ago. I realized that spiritually, I was dead inside for those several yrs. Glad I am reunited to her music. THANK YOU Loreena! You truly have amazing talent! I am finally relaxing like I haven't done in years. It truly feels good!

  • I remember the first time I heard her. I didn't know who she was. Prob more than 8 yrs ago I was watching one of the Highlander movies. One of her songs was in it. It was The Bonny Swans. I just loved that song. Then I heard another one on George Nory Coast 2 coast. I had to find out more about her. I was hooked. Immediately went out and bought several of her tapes, yes cassette tapes. I remember dancing to the Mummer's Dance with my son. Oh, my poor neighbor below me.

  • @draco4506 I mean Bonny Portmore, not Bonny Swans.

  • For a minute there... I thought this was Tori Amos (with that flame red hair and piano)... Even the voice quality is similar. Anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for posting. She is obviously a talented singer.

  • je öfter ich die musik von loreena höre und die wunderschöne aufzeichnung aus der alhambra sehe,hoffe ich, irgendwann einmal bei so einem traum dabeizusein. es ist eine wunderbare musik. voller gefühl........

  • Music and lyric: Loreena McKennitt ~ Now that the time has come Soon gone is the day There upon some distant shore You'll hear me say Long as the day in the summer time Deep as the wine dark sea I'll keep your heart with mine. Till you come to me. There like a bird I'd fly High through the air Reaching for the sun's full rays Only to find you there
  • And in the night when our dreams are still Or when the wind flows free I'll keep your heart with mine Till you come to me Now that the time has come Soon gone is the day There upon some distant shore You'll hear me say Long as the day in the summer time Deep as the wine dark sea I'll keep your heart with mine. Till you come to me

  • Her music speaks to my soul.

  • There are always comments like "Who the F*** disliked this video?" many times, it's stupid, but on this video I can only believe the dislike where from some slight "hiss" in the sound, apart from that, I don't know how a human being can hear/watch this and dislike it to suck a point to go and "dislike" the video, as to say it is crap... this is just plain beautiful!

  • Loreena McKennitt's talents define arts the way it should be. Her music tells us of divinity exists in this Universe and that the existence of humankind is not simply a big bang.

    There is beauty and honor in the human race, despite the bad things that people do to one another.

    Hopefully people will give to arts and practice more love less wars and hatre.

  • Loreena, your voice is balm for the Soul.

    Many thanks!

  • Great music, Loreen's voice is so natural, she has complete control over it, it's amazing.

    On a side note: There is something beyond sexy about this blonde with the Cielo.

  • @MoonlightPriest The girl on the chello is called Caroline Lavelle.She is English. I bought one of her CD's and she kindly signed it for me.

  • Hearing the complete love and loss in this brought tears to my eyes.

  • from the philippines i really love all the songs of ms. loreena mckennitt - two thumbs up

  • Loreena, you are wonderful! Your songs perfectly fill that craving for beauty and mystery and magic that we all so often feel. It seems you truly have found the world of fairy. Endless thanks to you for opening the door so that the rest of us can come in as well.

  • Loreena's music is wonderful, a gifted artist to be certain. Most artist's are gifted, to knock Annie Lennox is an insult to the tone of this artist. Annie Lennox sings the best version of "A whiter shade of pale". At least in my opinion...and I certainly do not want to start a discussion over who is better. I enjoy most music...and I appreciate all of the talent God put here. I wish I had some talent myself. Thanks for the Music.

  • Beautiful. It's all i can say.

  • Los TEMPLARIOS estan contigo Loreena...Ellos mandan las ENERGIAS POSITIVAS para que sigas asi de MAGICA.No te olvidan y dan saludos ..para que no les olvidemos...Lucharon por una causa que hasta hoy sigue sin resolver....El respeto hacia los ANCESTROS debe permanecer y la Causa tambien....El TEMPLE sigue vivo....No lo olvideis.....Gracias

  • ok and now going to order the DVD...

  • I simply cannot understand how come she was left out from Lord of the rings soundtrack. Instead of this truly emotional and gifted artist LOTR people chose Annie Lennox... I mean WTF?? And Lennox even got an Oscar because of LOTR in 2003... Her musical world does not match at all with LOTR. Loreena would have been the BEST option for creating/singing a song at the end of the trilogy.

    LOTR is my favourite movie of all times but hate this mistake of theirs.

  • @Maeguk I agree she would have been a good choice for the LOTR soundtrack.

  • @Maeguk I LOVE Annie Lennox, but you are so right: Loreena would have been the most natural choice for LOTR. She is just so perfect!

  • Vampiroangelico, I read the entirety of your comment. It implied that you assumed good/intelligent comments were only able to be attributed to those over 40, and that those under that age don't understand love. Maturity doesn't come with age, it comes with the right mind. I consider those people that are condescending towards younger people immature, because they are unwise to think that younger people couldn't understand as much as they do about life. People don't mature at the same rate.

  • A lot of people don't know it, but her music is born out of a huge sense of grief and loss.

  • she is the most beautifull, most angelic singer i have known and she transports to far away lands, how can lady gaga compare to this, no chance

  • The first song I remember from Loreena was Mummer's Dance, which I heard on the local radio. I had no idea who the artist or the song name was, so I went on the net in 99' and searched LOTS of music until I found the song! It was like finding buried treasure. It's always baffled me why she isn't more well known. My heart has hardened over the years, but her music is my only reminder that I still have one left.

  • i may be only 13..but ever since i first listened to 'The Highwayman' i was hooked. her voice draws you in and makes you feel things u dont usually feel. it makes me feel at peace almost, i have a whole album full of her music and i always listen to it before i go to sleep. She has the voice of an angel! i love her and i dont understand how people can prefer rap and other music...

  • I listen to Loreen'a voice and know what the voice of an angel sounds like> She is truly blessed with gifts given to her from a higher power.

  • This song never fails to bring a tear to my eyes, it has such a meaning for me in a most difficult time in my life.

  • Hey Loreena, does God speak to you in person or what?....Where do you take such a wonderful inspiration from? You´re so blessed... thanks for making us feel the way we dol when we listen to your magnificient voice and powerful melodies...

  • My favourite. Loreena... the best! *0*

  • @EderaNera717 Loreena certo, condivido e dico che le persone che amano la Mckennitt sono molto belle!!!

  • her songs really do transport the listener. i can picture ponelope singing to her beloved odyseus, waiting for his return home.

  • I have the DVD, and I can't even think of how many times I've watched it from beginning to end! Very beautiful!

  • I Love this song...beautyfull..thank you!

  • i love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu loreenaaaaaa i love uuuu so muchh. u are special.

  • I discovered her music when i was 16 and have been a fan of Loreena for almost 22 years now, i can never get tired of her voice. When i listen to her music I close my eyes and let my imagination go free, and can visualize the stories she sings about.

    In 2008 i finally got to she her in concert when she came to Salt lake city. I remember i teared up when i entered the concert hall and cried when she came on stage. I hope that i can see her again some day.

  • Her music has accompanied me for more than 15 years now, Im 29....many many many more years to come. SHe's magic :) very grateful for her music

  • Found today ... I am speechless 

  • this song always gives me the shivers. it just had power in it, and makes me wish I were Penelope...

  • Nice to find you here also, not alone in my CD collection!

  • I liked her since the first time a heard her!!! i was 7 more or less!!! <3....Great Voice!!!!!

  • I liked her since the first time a heard her!!! i was 7 more or less!!! <3....Great Voice!!!!!

  • musica maravilhosa, subline demais, nos traz a suavidade, serenidade,

    sentimentos maravilhosos, esteja sempre ai loreena estaremos sempre a te ouvir

    obrigado poe isto.

  • Loreena's Music is Beautiful and so is her Spirit. I Love this song - inspired by Penelope true to her husband, Odyssus. I sing & play this poignant compostion for my beloved, late husband. I also love all of Loreena's music - Inspiring!

  • Am happy heard it. Sorry didn't until now then.

  • tant de féminité et de douceur ... cela me transporte et m'enivre d'une douce énergie apaisante !

  • she is realy good i love this song

    not because it refers to my name but its a realy great song!!!

    love it just love it !! <3 <3 :) :P

  • what does the electric guitar even do?

  • beautiful music

  • I really admire how much emotion she can stir up with her music. She accomplishes what few artists can do with do with their talent. Unbelievably touching.

  • the old girl sings with soul.

  • Ouvindo essa musica na voz de Loreena, fecho os olhos, me vejo numa planice.....Uma calma imensa..... uma paz inacreditavel.....MARAVILHOSO.­......

  • Her voice and music touches my soul and opens my heart to the pain and joy in this world. No words can justly describe the beauty of her art!

  • I'm 31, and I think her music's great. And her depth of knowledge, it's incredible.

  • Unbelievably beautiful!

  • She fills my heart and yet drains it down. She makes me laugh and cry. She comforts me and warms me up, telling me to keep going and never give up. Her songs aren't worth gold or millions, they are worth much, much more. Her songs are pure passion, comfort and love.

    Thank you Loreena, blessed be.

  • great voice

  • simplesmente linda *

  • I named my kitten Loreena. And whenever I hear this song and look in my cats' eyes, I'm taken somewhere far away.... somewhere better

  • She is the best!!!

  • Tell me, O muse, of those who have travelled far and wide...

  • es ist super

  • One of my favorite songs. Very Romantic......

  • This song is amazing...

  • Bu nasıl güzel bir müziktir böyle...

  • I don't know how people like Loreena do it, but I am transported in time, space, reality; listening to this music. I feel as if the sun sets in my heart and the horizon has no vanishing point.

    I feel the sense of loss of a billion souls, and the almost craven desire to right this world.

    All from one small song.

    Wow.

  • true... true... true

  • Comment removed

  • @sgtcrab1

    lol, not really, but there are others whose music is equally inspiring and filling, but in different ways.

  • perfectly put

  • @lekkki1 You said everything I feel as well when I hear her music. It borders on out-of-body, the feeling I get when I hear a song like this.

  • @cowgirlmagic18

    ty for the praise, but I bet you could say more than I have, and add your own particular, and special spin to it. Music that arrests the soul (like this song) has special, and separate meaning for everyone who can actually hear it.

    peace to you, and peace in all that you pursue

  • @lekkki1 Your response gave me chills. Perfectly put. Waiting for loved ones return... endlessly waiting, and hoping and above all love.

  • @CommentsSurvey

    Is it not amazing the power music has?

  • @lekkki1 , yes that must be why we can be "transformed" by music. I am. Loreena probably is, too, as are we all.

  • @lekkki1 The power of music: healing & transforming, too. CatherineTodd2 at gmail dot com.

  • @lekkki1 I have nominated her for the NPR All Things Considered 50 best voices of 2010. So far, she has not been on. Maybe we can start a movement

  • @1fonleo

    How do we start that movement? I am all for it

  • @lekkki1 Thats what good music is suppose to do. Inspire.

  • @lekkki1 you hit the nail squarely on the head! I agree with you 100 million percent! Soooo soothing.

  • @lekkki1 The essence of artistry is in making something difficult appear easy. I get a sense that Loreena's challenge is in holding it back.

  • Beautiful.....................­.........

  • I wonder what Loreena was thinking about when she sang this.

    Her partner died in an accident in 1998.. perhaps this song was for him.

  • A sad Valentine's song. For those who can't be with their love today.

  • this is a song about letting go of someone you dearly love [for whatever reason] and the hope that lives in your heart that you will be with them again.

  • A beautiful melody from a beautiful soul. Thank you Loreena for all the music you give. Bravo!

  • My little sister died on14. December last year by suizid at the age of 32.

    I ´ve burried her body on 23.December .

    She really like this song and Loreenas Music.

    I often stand by my sisters graveside and want to hear this music, it gives me strengh and peace.

    The name of my siste is " Steffie" and I want to say ..." Thank You, Loreena" ...for a music who toutch my soul.

    Keep health and time .

  • @sargaffel oh, but it's horrible.......I'm speechless.......I'm feeling so sad for this fact.....no words.

  • Thanks for your words .

  • It's about the wife of Odysseus.

  • where can i buy this dvd? if it is in fact a dvd. i need to be able to have this on my self at all times. the equivalency of being high and this music just soaring deep into my souls deepenin' wounds. Her voice pierces my heart and continues to echo throughout my body, i can feel the soul of her music embracing my mind and flying me to unreachable thoughts. words cannot describe it. they simply cannot.

  • Thank you . You have put into words my heartfelt feelings. Thank you.

  • Loreena is a rare gift of singer/songwriter/musician. What a talent!!!!

  • This song burns deep...so many lost....memories left to hold :(

  • increadible..

    what a song

  • Un Sogno!

  • Beautiful song from an extra beautiful voice!

  • Siempre pensé que el dia que la viese en concierto me decepcionaría, que lo que logra transmitirme no podría darse en un escenario real. Me encanta ser humano, y equivocarme. Esa noche en Poble Espanyl logró tocar mi alma y hacerme llorar. Es magia y puro éxtasis, todo fraguado en agridulces melodías. Cada nota, cada acorde, resulta perfecto... No puede pedírsele más a una persona humana, ni a la palabra Arte.

    Gracias :)

  • Cuando se tiene la oportunidad de escuchar a una intérprete que canta con tanto sentimiento y que posee una hermosísima voz, no queda más que agradecer a Loreena por tan linda canción (música ) que nos llega directo al corazón.!!!

    Excelente.!!!!!

  • 10/10

  • Great music, awesome voice.

  • AGREED :)

    <3 the snakes btw

  • @theandwellman

    Ghehe thanks.

    I would even go to see her is she would come to play here.

    She's magnificent.

  • i love watching her while she sings this song . it's like she is singing to someone she loves dearly. very moving indeed. my favorite song . i listen to this song at least ten times a day . it touches me every time.

  • The song is touching indeed. If you like to know to whom she may be singing read Wiki info about her...

  • it was sad to read about what happened to her fiance'. maybe that is whom she is singing to . you can almost see it in her eyes

  • To be able to compose anything like this it must come from deep inside,from the hearth.While singing, it's like she's drifting away,to another place.

  • yes her thoughts are definetly in another place , with another person and it does come from her heart. that is the beauty of it -- heartfelt . she is singing to him. in return we [in our thoughts] are singing it to someone we have lost and still love

  • Yes and the love for that person can linger on even 37 years later.

    I never knew of Loreena or her songs before autumn 2007.What I have missed I for sure have caught up on these last two years.

  • What a nice journey.

    Ulysses came...

  • Explêndido!!!!!!!!

  • lovely voice =))

  • vampiroangelico that is a horrible comment in a few different ways. First of all assuming that older automatically means more intelligent and wiser is faulty. There are many young adults who are both wise and highly intelligent. Also even IF the younger generation wass suffering from some type of intellectual problems who's fault do you think that would be? I will agree that young folk these days are generally less respectful but again I ask you, who's fault is that?

  • Um, did you read his comment. He said, "This isn't a blanket statement...there are obviously exceptions." But I'm guessing reading comprehension must be another problem that the youth suffer from, ammirite.

  • Cyranothe2nd, you completely understood the depth of the message my comment was expressing.

    Obviously, though, as you pointed out, it is a consequence of the fact that some people, like you and I for example, actually take the time to read comments ENTIRELY, before we reply to them. That way, we avoid making fools of ourselves, the way that Leopardsp0ts did....

  • You notice how the crowd is silent when she is singing, not screaming and ruining the music.

  • Maravilho!! Estamos te esperando no Brasil - vc tem muitos fãs por aqui!!

  • This song makes you sad even if your not listening to the words. Its the way the music is preformed and the way ahe sings it. The first time i heard this song i almost cried.

  • I'm not sure but it might be "The English Ladye and the Knight". I hope that helps!

  • I'm 17 and I have been a fan of Loreena for years. I want to say since I was 12. It's not true that only the older generations listen to this wonderful woman.

  • Yes, personally i'm 24 and I have enjoyed her music for years. This is a special song... this performance in particular is heartbreaking for me, I mean in beautiful way.

  • @Mirevere i'm 19 year old guy and just ran into her music randomely tonight... and i freaking love it!!!! its not just an older thing or a female thing... her music is for everyone

  • @Mirevere Same. I'm 15 and she's my favourite artist of all time! She sounds so great live too.

  • @Mirevere I am glad to see that younger people like you appreciate true talent and the angelic voice of Loreena McKennitt.

  • @Mirevere Same here :)

  • @Mirevere I'm 16 and listen to her. I agree.

  • @Mirevere I am 30 now and I have been a fan since I was your age, I saw the Mummer's Dance video on MTV and went right out for the Book of Secrets album. It is amazing how fast the time goes!

  • My 21 year old son listens to her, Enya and Yanni all the time! He is a lot like his mama...:)

  • I got my mother and grandma hooked on this song. I am 19. Music that transcends all souls.

  • it is perfect

    it is amazing

    it is friendly and mind past and future that will be good for thinking!

  • If I ever have the opportunity to meet this lady, I'm going to grab her and kiss her smack on the lips. I swear to god!
