Moving Hearts feat. Davy Spillane

[steviekokke1]

er ist einfach fantastisch...!!

[grumpybollox]

mindblowing

[johnredpath]

Was the same guy who worked with Bryan Adams on his unplugged album- he is very very good

[nacho1560]

Simply brilliant. What other words can do this man justice?

[Beelzebubbbbles]

This incredible tune is taken from the Moving Hearts ablum "The Storm". It's well worth adding to your collection, just check out some of the other songs from the album that have been uploaded on youtube. Most of them are live versions (The Storm is a studio album, immaculately produced), but you'll get the idea. Moving Hearts were a sort of 'super-group' of Irish traditional players, the creme de la creme. All of them stars in their own right. The few records they made are classics.

Uilleann Pipes

Buy his CD "A Place Among the Stones, that will bring tears to your eye's

Uilleann Pipes

[godluvsmormons]

it's funny, I can play a whistle almost as well as he does, but when it comes to the pipes, I can barely eek out a note..

[c4runner86]

@godluvsmormons Does anyone besides you think you can play a low whistle as well as Davy? I find that hard to believe. He is one of a kind. But I admire your self-confidence. Have a great day!

[godluvsmormons]

@c4runner86 not having heard me play, you can only assume I do not. All whistles are the same, just different keys and sizes, anyone who plays a D penny whistle, can play a low D, and so on. I have been playing professionally for16 years, and have yet to hear any complaints. I am not as fast as some players, but that's mostly by choice. I find the slower more mournful and spiritual pieces to be the best.

[Eminemrocks2727]

I find this difficult to masturbate to!!

[c4runner86]

@Eminemrocks2727 Well, dear, just pick a faster tune. That should do it.

[Eminemrocks2727]

@c4runner86 ok that might work

MOVING HEARTS

Truly Amazing,,,, so much emotion and feeling Mr Spillane puts in to his playing its awesome and so much heart felt.

Thanks Davy

wow

[shrinkpachyderm]

This fairly soothes the soul. I feel like ive been to heaven and had a glimpse of full time serenity

[copman206]

How could anyone NOT like this!!!!!!!

[copman206]

How could anyone NOT like this!!!!!!!

[macdoff]

In fact this is a traditional tune arranged by Davy and it's called " The May Morning Dew". There are also lyrics on this tune.

[magisterludi92103a]

Thanks Accelorator! Happen to know if it is recorded on a published CD anywhere?

[magisterludi92103a]

Anyone know what the name of this piece is? [Adding it to my funeral...in true, "happy" Irish Spirit ! ]. Thanks....

[TheAccelorator]

@magisterludi92103a

It's the May Morning Dew

[BehorWindpipe]

actually many people say to me "yo why do you hear such sad pieces?", i always say that many see sadness in these kind of music but the truth is that this music goes beyond sadness and when you actually get to see it... it is 100% beauty, and that's what it is.

this man is sucha fine composer!!! one of my main influences on whistle and uilleann pipes.... i wish i could play like him...

[AmBemol]

What davy can do with a low whistle.... magic....

[ariel4kees]

Like they said in Highlander......"There can only be one......"

[ja3399]

@ariel4kees I agree. This music touches hearts and emotions so deeply. There is sadness but, I think, healing somehow. Davy is human (yes, he really is) but his music will live forever. Perhaps, in some great cosmic scheme, there can be only one music maker like this. And Davy is The One for our times. How lucky we are.

[NiallatUTube]

@ja3399 it probably goes so deep to the very fundamentals of how sound triggers certain emotions and memories. For me this music symbolises wild and windy Atlantic coastal landscapes and moody Irish skies. For others it symbolises other visuals and memories.

[AlbaSaab]

Holy's the word.

[wcyber]

what's the name of this song?

[TheaKour]

May Morning Dew

[macdoff]

Great arrangement and interpretation of this beautiful and haunting air. I like the fat strings and the guitar and of course the low whistle of the master himself. Great piece of music!

[DefChrisB33]

The things this man can do with pipes is absolutely mesmerizing. For such solemn music, he certainly has the uncanny ability to evoke the full spectrum of human emotions.

[Morgan051356]

Its called Bardic magic :)

[squeakymonkfish]

This takes me to a better place. Awesome.

[Giantcrabb]

first time i heard this band, very nice..haunting stuff

[Blackwolfsbane]

where there is artistic excellence..there is human dignity

[chooch46]

Ah, Davy. The history of Ireland. All the joy, pain, hunger, injustice, happiness, sorrow, are only seen and heard through this man's flute or pipes. Thank the Lord for Davy Spillane. And count yerselves lucky to have heard the man's music in yer lifetime.

Thank you, Davy.

[ibro246]

every time i hear him, i almost cry. i could listen him all day. he brings up all ˝hidden˝ emotions. helped me a lot through tough times!

sorry for my bad english.

[chooch46]

ibro246 I'll bet your English is much better than my trying to speak your native tongue. Mr. Spillane is truly one of those musicians who is able to stir emotions in the soul of his listeners. I love his music very much.

[NiallatUTube]

@ibro246 I know what you mean. It causes emotion to well up. The lament for Cu Chulainn is the most melancholic of his work for me.

[paljim24]

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

[bunnyrabbit008]

This man is really good , Supernatural !

[nacho1560]

This man's not human, he can't be. Such music surely descends from the Heavens and the Angels. Fantastic!

[broadbandtogod]

hihihi, haha!! Wonderful said...

[fleetfox88]

magic

[Maxiclaudi]

I still totally love this song, it reaches the very core of my heart and always will!

[gungadin60]

oh my god, this home for me aching so so much

[Rachailbabe]

Just heart-wrenchingly beautiful. I have a tenor recorder in D ( not a true low whistle ) and hope I'll be able to someday get that kind of sound out of it.

[nacho1560]

Boy, does this guy make the pipes sing. What a gift?

[fr4nbl]

The atmosphere becomes special when Davy plays low whistle.

[mistymountainhop1]

This is great. There's another equally amazing version of this tune on youtube played by John McSherry. Fantastic.

[percdann]

Resonates Deeply in the soul this one.

[TheOwl54]

Beautiful ! I like this flute music. It sounds great & I would like to have such an instrument to play it myself. Thank you for this upload ! - :-) - Ute.

[Seano71]

I want to listen to him perform live

[CelticWarriorIsBack]

I hope you get to - he's something else - brilliant doesn't do him justice. Good luck!

[feckwitklown]

Chatting with young musicians nowadays, I really count myself lucky to have seen Moving Hearts live along with Christy and Davy. Let's hope that one day they get together again for a tour or two and we can all marvel at their wonderful musicianship :O)

[Acridiel]

Beautiful :)

[Babsylie]

simply great

[zimmy81]

wow! im well pleased i stumbled onto this,cheers!

[chamekke]

The tune is "May Morning Dew", and it's the final track on the album "The Storm" by Moving Hearts.

I saw Davy Spillane play at WOMAD in Toronto many years ago. {blink} Damn, he's good!

[pvarah]

do you know what the instrument is that the front man is playing? what type of flute it is?

[ANDYWROI]

A Low Whistle

[btbroeke]

@ANDYWROI a low F whistle.. meight be a Chieftan or an Overton but on the DVD he's using an Chieftan

[dougienancy]

This is a LOW D whistle....I play this instrument...its just a big irish whistle....I was taught by Troy Donnockley a great English player

[paidushko]

It is a low F whistle, not a low D.

[dougienancy]

Well...lets just call them LOW whistles....Mr Overton does...hes the best maker...but the most common one used is the D

[feckwitklown]

It can be played on the 'D' or the 'F' but the most common is the 'D'. That's what I used to use and it was easier for my band to then go into the next tune. Either way, this is a great performance - one of the best - I'd love to see/hear other people performing this :)

[ssjadam]

@pvarah a LOW D whistle to be exact

[spiderysheets]

@ssjadam No. It's a Low F.

[NavyCop68]

@spiderysheets I thought Davey preferred the Low D...

[spiderysheets]

@NavyCop68 I would agree that he prefers the D, as that's what you'll hear him play the most often. But when he plays the famous tunes May Morning Dew and Finore, you will find him playing the Low F. McSherry also plays Morning Dew on the F.

[NavyCop68]

@spiderysheets Never knew that! Thanks for the info...

[NiallatUTube]

@pvarah a Low Whistle, probably a Low D.

[pearlygurlee]

@pvarah please tell me u found out the answer to this question, its the uilleann pipes

[Dakarn]

@pearlygurlee Actually, it's not the uilleann pipes. It's an Irish Low Whistle. Davy plays the uilleann pipes in Caoineadh cu Chulainn.

[POWERFULLMAGNETO]

this guy is a genious!

[foucault12]

Thanks for uploading this. Couldn't make it to this gig. Got to see them in Feb at Vicar's St. Probably Ireland's finest band!
