Beautiful, but a shame that YouTube has to strip commercials across the bottom. It is yet more commercialization of a religious mood. I realize YouTube has to make money but isn't there a less intrusive way of doing ads???
Absolutely stunning. I'm not religious in any way but this so beautiful I cannot resist it. Is this the best Xmas song ever or what...? Her voice is so haunting it makes the hairs on the back of my neck strand up.
@kosmostragedy I'm no expert, but as I understand there's an Irish version and a Scottish version of Gaelic. I made that joke because I think the native language in Ireland is called Gaelic. Never heard it called Irish.
It's not a Christmas now, but it's good to hear this song all year long. Makes you feel peaceful inside.. We could have Christmas spirit not only in Dec u know, spirit of Christmas is spirit of Peace and Hope which can be spread all year long with everyone in every nation :) .. Peace on earth.
I'm so greatful..I do enjoy it...this's my favorite Ch. song as well and Enya is singin' like a..maybe an angel(she's singin like an angel!) but , maybe more then that...Thank you:) Hugs...soon will be Xmas again
the trench seemed colder than usual that night, and the fires burned warmer and brighter than ever, each side determined that the other wouldnt shoot. as we sat, i began to hum a few bars of "silent night". the others soon joined in. soon, both sides were singing the song as though the war was a distant, gruesome piece of history. but as i sang, i thought about the lives of friends lost, and of those id soon loose. the night passed by slower, and snow began to fall. -an exerpt of my own writing.

@RunrigFan No, in Scotland they speak Scottish Gaelic (pronounced "Gah-lick") which is a separate language to Irish Gaelic (pronounced as "Gay-lick") but more commonly known as just Irish.
@yrhyngrwyd huh ? I was lead to believe Gaelic and Celt were seperate from each other !?? I didn't read down or up here, your answer, caught my eye ! Nor am I any scholar , which is the reason I rudely interjected.
enya is not singing silent night in irish she is singing this in polish im polish but i cant speak polish at all i want to learn to speak polish pretty song by the way.
I didn't see my comment so came back to try again. I love this song, it's so gentle and beautiful. Thank you so much Annette for the share. I'm passing it along!
Wow, lorgain2 just sent me this, I am going to send it on to someone else and start a "song chain" for Christmas and see how far this song goes.........Happy Christmas and peace. Annette
