Maybe I am the only one, but I get a strong Middle Eastern vibe from this album more than anything else. When I hear this, I don't think of forests and elves, but wandering on camel back through the Sahara. :D
@HisDivineShadow245 I'm so glad I'm not the only one. but for whatever reason I think more like Aladin or like desert thieves that kidnap some important chick to ransom but the leader and her end up falling in love or something. idk her music does weird things to me lol
Whenever I hear this beautiful song, I always think to a scene before some sort of battle, as warriors sharpen their swords and carve out arrowheads. I can almost hear the clanging of steel and the quiet tense before all hell breaks loose. Truly incredible music and gorgeous singing.
I love singing this song. When i was one year old, my dad would sit me on his lap and sing this with me, of course, i sounded very....bad, lol. Now, i am 12 years old and i can sing this song, i can sing it better than anyone in my school, i sing it on the bus, i sing it everywhere. Loreena Mckennit is a singing teacher along with a singer. This music is just so amazing, i bet no one can go without humming, or singing this song at least once. This music is magic that should be played in a war.
@IanEColeman ??? Why post that sort of comment on a song? I mean seriously, this is just a song vid, not a religious debate vid. (Let alone religion-bashing vid....)
Ah, to have such a vocal range as she... The earthen concoction that is crafted of complex emotions, the awe inspiring sounds and feelings that wash over the sides of our mental barriers, enveloping our ceaselessly processing minds in a chilling beauty that is here in written language called "Prologue". It fills me with hope that the instrumental touch that draws from the days of old has not yet died away.
New Age music iis filled with emotion. It represents the Love Consciousness that us humans will turn over to completely. This music is only the beginning of such a movement.
In regards to Loreena McKennitt being Wiccan . . . from her own website's FAQ:
"In fact, as a rule I refrain from endorsing any political or religious path, for a variety of reasons. On the whole I tend to be a non-club joining person. I am a bit like Groucho Marx when he said, 'I dont care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.'"
@wonderpride Yes, and misinformed people making assumptions. Some person thought the Orthodox chant at the beginning of "Dante's Prayer", and I quote, "well, it sounds Celtic to me". Ah. Hence it being a Christian religious chant in Russian... Sorry, know-it-alls irk me as much as asinine trolls :/ Ok, off my soap box :)
@mothglitter In our defence, identifing the difference between two languages is a right pain in the neck, especially when it's in strictly auditory format (it gets a little easier when written, but I still can't tell the Russian alphabet from the Greek one).
@falconlord5 It is a pain in the neck. I don't speak Russian but there's no comparison between Celtic music & Russian Orthodox choral chants. I got ya on the Russian & Greek alphabets. Pretty hard to differentiate, for sure. I'm trying to teach myself Russian & I do know the alphabet, so I can read it (although I only catch a bit of what it says :). There are subtle differences but you're right, they get tricky trying to tell the difference!
@mothglitter Yeah, I can usually tell what tradition they're from (Celtic or Russian Orthodox) long as I get the musical context with it, the two styles being arranged quite differently.
But when they take it out of that context, I couldn't tell ya without a written transcript.
You have to ignore the negative trolls,they always like to ruin someone day or to bring darkness to others by saying nasty things.I think people that have rude comments are just miserable souls.Just send them light!!Jc23333 you are very unkind.You have much to learn.Didn't your mom teach you manners?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
alright man i cant take it anymore she just a human, cmon people, one person made a stupid comment lke it embrasing to cal her a human, for the lve of god, at what this guy on about past life seriously i would like to know, u get caught up in the music and look at the coment you come out with and im not denying the music nice il admit that but the comments are beyond stupidty
There is nothing wrong with his comments. If anything, he made a positive comment. You on the other hand made a negative one that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Ever been taught of respect the individual? I've always stated almost similiar like when I saw Tina Turner's video. I stated she is a goddess which it is only that, a positive comment. I have admired people who post positive comments and ignore 'stuff like yours'
i must admit that JC23333 is right about the part of the comments, he thinks the music is good only a few are reacting with a little bit to much enthousiasm, you have wrote a weird comment in his eyes he says that some agree and some don't but we don't disrespect you're comments either so have the respect he earns as you earn it to.
Estoy de acuerdo con usted parcialmente. Sin embargo, "amigo" Usted sólo debe hacer caso omiso de los comentarios y al igual que despedir. Sí, escribió un comentario estúpido trasero, sí fue más entusiasta. Pero no puede hacer frente con simples superarlos con lógica se puede ?????
Yes Loreena McKennitt is actually a goddess. If Loreena would b called human it would b too embarassing for her. I mean listen to every song of hers and especially The Book of Secrets album. Absolute perfection is reflected in every single moment of her songs. I listen to a great variety of music but Loreena McKennitt is by far better than everything. If we had to keep one musical album only in earth then that would b The Book of Secrets no doubt...
When my grandma was still alive she let my MOM copy all her CD'S and one of them was "The mask and the mirror" its awesome there are 8 songs and "Prologue" is my favorite i always drift off in another world its so COOL and CALMY at first i thought it was Egytpian but its not :( :) ♥love♥ it
Dear Eto, I crossed the Kalahari and the Namibian desert several times; I wish I could have had Loreena's voice on the Land Rover Radio. It would have made these journeys a lot more pleasant
when I was in the British Army back in the '80's I was based in Kenya. I used to listen to a band (on my walkman) called The Cocteau Twins - really atmospheric whilst patroling the African plains.
