Actually, this is a traditional Celtic tune and doesn't belong exclusively to " Pride of the County Down". The Chieftains use it but you can attach any words you want to it. There's even an Israeli singer who wrote words and adapted this music for his song. Isn't Loreena the greatest singer? I'm a Jew and I can listen for hours to her Christmas albums, and her Celtic music is the Best!
She is the best singer of the paganfolkmusic and I love this Midwintersong in this midwinternight 2008 after our midwinterfiredance on the hill in the snow
Well said and I fully agree with you. I also think it doesn't matter to God how you woreship him, just do it the way you like. Why else would there be so many religions?
Anyway, the song made me feel sad too, but it's wonderful. I could listen to this song and stare at Loreena like, forever.
I bought the new CD and it will from now on, be a Yule staple for me. Be you Pagan,Christian,Islam,Jew, it matters not, this music speaks to your heart and soul and transcends language and belief systems.
I love so much this song! And when Loreena is singing angels and heaven are singing as well. Thank you so much Loreena McKennitt for sharing with us this heavenly music!!!!!!!
i love Loreena, perchè è geniale come riesce a cinvolgere con la sua poesia che è dentro ogni cosa, la voce, la musica, i testi..deliziosa, dolcissima, anche profonda e straordinaria....io amo Loreena
Beautiful Loreenna! Come and see our "new Christmas Song" on our youtube with the Harp Guitar. Love being on Celtic Twightlight CD with you and meeting you years ago...Merry Christmas
" Magnificent Loreena Mckennitt...I LOVE all Yours Sublime and Ineffable Musics...Your CD A MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM is Wonderful, as well as all your CDs...Loreena...Magic Melodies Celtic's Divine Fairy..."
Thank you, Quinlan Road, for posting this little holiday treat for us. I LOVE the entire new CD and am listening to it daily; this particular song just happens to be one of my 'favorites'. It's always a pleasure to view video of Loreena; I'm only happy to see that this particular YouTube posting was actually placed here intentionally by Loreena's Quinlan Road staff. I hope that everyone looking at this video will purchase 'A Midwinter Night's Dream'; it's too wonderful to miss!
Ms McKennitt is a gift from God. I have herd this song done by many people over the years but never as beautifully as this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Loreena sings this modern soon-to-be classic so smoothly and sweetly! It was wonderful to see her performance video. But, it seemed a bit different, not seeing her at her piano, harp or accordian. Wonderful music!
Through her natural harp string Can you hear the earth sing It calls form Ages old From sages bold Stories unfold Far past time or rhyme Her soul chimes and beckons us to hear our inner stories without fear I bow to your beautiful light Loreena's soul shining bright... ...thank you angel
Anoche me despertaron unos susurros que me hicieron pensar en el llanto de una náyade, en un parto...en el goce de una mujer. Como siempre, creí oír tu nombre
how r u ? Support a new singer..I did a cover of WOMANIZER by Britney Spears,Just Dance By Lady Gaga, Give it 2 me by Madonna, Mercy by Duffy , Wake up alone by Amy Winehouse and many more!!! Plz check it out and hope you'll like and if you do plz subscribe and if you don't, shhhhhht don't tell anyone ;)
Loreena, your voice is the most beautiful in the world! one among millions! THANK YOU so much for your dedication to make the most wonderful music of all times.
Lorena jest darem dla ludzi. Jest aniołem, który z tego lepszego, piękniejszego świata przynosi na skrzydłach swoich pieśni ogrom wzruszenia, niezwykłą radość dla serca i duszy. Po wysłuchaniu jej songu jakże inny wydaje się widok z okna, twarze ludzi, lasu i gwiazd. Miłuję Piekno, którym nas darzysz Lorenno.
Beautiful and amazing. I attended the Ancient Muse tours in both NYC and Baltimore.
This is a familiar melody to me or so it seems. It was the accompaniment to a version of the classic, John Barleycorn. This song touches two parts of myself. The spiritually pagan (pre-christian), and my christian background.
Just as the Alhambra is a place of spiritual crossroads, this song with its blended theme and melodies have caused me to internalize the sensation of "spiritual companionship." Thank You!
My fiance and I saw your show in 2007 at Edmonton. you stole his punk heart (you already had mine) What music! breathtaking, poetic, inspiring. I often paint to your music. thank you for doing what you love!
exelente tema , majestuosidad hecha musica una de las voces mas hermosas que he escuchado ojal algun dia viniera a estas tierras lejanas de chile . un saludo desde aca a todos los que disfrutan la musica de Loreena McKennitt ,. un abrazo desde chile villa alemana.

The video is not available as a commercial piece. It was taped during the recording session at Real World Studios (Bath UK) for Loreena's latest album A Midwinter Night's Dream.
This is one of the mmost beautiful songs of Loreena's! I'm almost in tears! I love her voice! :) I wish we could have more of these videos of the album!
