"Walela" sings "Circle of Light". Indian mood song.

[eaglewolfmother]

Absolutely love this music and the haunting melody and words. I too am proud Cherokee, Wolf Clan.

[age49]

@eaglewolfmother

Thanks for nice comment. Great to have a comment from a Cherokee. I love Walelas music, they are great artists.

[mspollynicole1]

Happy Christmas to all.This song is at the top of my list of favorites.I can listen to it over and over.Thank you Walela for all your beautiful music....

[age49]

@mspollynicole1 Thanks for the comment and happy Christmas to you too. And I join you in the gratitude to Walela for the music.

[mspollynicole1]

Thank you for the response.I will never know,so long ago.You see my Grandfather was born in Georgia in 1880,but I see there spirits in the sky...And so the healing comes with letting go,and hearing songs like this.I am part Cherokee.

[age49]

@mspollynicole1

Thanks again for your interest in the video and the case. As I can read you are partly Cherokee, than I understand your interest. I visited Indian City Oklahoma in 2002. Although the city just was scene I fell in a solemn mood walking around the buildings. I saw people, I saw life of a total different kind than to days insignificant, in many ways, life. I'm so sad that Indian City no longer exists. Wish you a Merry Christmas.

[mspollynicole1]

Beautiful song.I am trying to heal my soul,from the wrongs that were done.

[age49]

@mspollynicole1 Hi and thanks for the comment. Interesting to hear what people mean about this subject. A lot of bad things were carried out against the native american tribes.

[blueyesirish]

beautiful song with very meaningful video

[age49]

@blueyesirish

Thank you for the comment. Making the video and all the comment has learnt me a lot of The Native American People. As a Norwegian, I have no background to really know how it was, but being three times in USA has given me possibilities to visit places of interest. One of those places was Indian City in Oklahoma. Sorry to hear that this city do not exist any more. Another great place for me was to experience the statue of the Indian on hie horse "The end of the trial" at Heritage M.

[1968northstar]

It's so beautiful, it touches my soul although it makes me cry sometimes, wonder where i can get it on cd? It's the words and her voice amazing.

[age49]

@1968northstar

Thanks for a beautiful comment. This version of "Circle of Light" is from music CD released i 2002. CD can be bought on amazon.com , also possible on download able mp3 from amazon.com.

[blackwashtv1]

[age49]

@eireman

Nothing is more peace giving, than after years of travelling, in the end come to the place were all started. To walk the ancestors soil. Thanks for a great comment. Lol.

@jesage008

Thanks for comment. Guess it was great.

[nightrider836]

One day soon the circle will be complete and we will all heal. I can barely wait for that day when we can sit down in one huge council with our ancestors and all will be well.

[age49]

@nightrider836

Thanks for a great comment. We are all waiting for a new morning. Lol.

[nytfemale]

Incredible!! I've been listening to Walela for a long time now. This is the first time I've heard this song. It choked me up inside. What an incredibly beautiful song!!

[age49]

@nytfemale

Thanks for this lovely comment. You are so right. Walela sings this song so beautiful. When I bought this CD at Indian City in Oklahoma, I had never heard Walela sing. I'm so glad I picked this on from the rack.

[nytfemale]

@age49 I wanted to tell you that IndianCityUSA no longer exists. :-( Also, you did a wonderful job putting this video together.

[age49]

@nytfemale

Sorry to hear about Indian City's destiny. It was a place filled with peaceful atmosphere. Thanks for the information.

[WmBuzz71]

This is the song I want hear when my vehicle passes on. Love to all

[age49]

@WmBuzz71

Thanks for a nice comment. Walela sings so beautiful and relaxing.

[WmBuzz71]

@age49

Dancing on the beach on Lake Superior to this song, brings me closer to the creator. My mind is clear, waving my hands in harmony with nature, it's about feeling the vibrations that this song releases.

Dig deep, we can all get closer to enlightenment. Be the best person you possibly can, listen to your heart, as your heart is never wrong.

Thx for nice comment too. Rita is an Angel who inspires me to grow and live life to the fullest.

[age49]

@WmBuzz71

Thanks for this additional comment to Ritas beautiful song. Your comment gives this video new dimensions. To be yourself, listening to your heart, trying to be the best person you can be is not always easy. There are always people thinking they know better how you should be, think and behave. But, in the end we should always go by our hearts.

[mormontube]

This song is so true!

[age49]

@mormontube Thanks for the comment. Great to see so many people feel so much for this video. Of course it is Walelas credit.

[nycolas1712]

Excellent.



[age49]

@nycolas1712 Thanks for a nice comment. Always nice to get such comments.

[2016don]

@age49 Beautiful and relaxing! Thank you for posting!

[mamalovestv]

Thank you!

[age49]

@mamalovestv Thanks for supporting my most seen video. Glad so many people find it interesting. It's a memory of a proud people.

[mamalovestv]

@age49 I've always loved both Rita and Priscilla!

[nightrider836]

I love this song so much I come back to it each night to regain my peace after the stress of a day. It aso brings tears to my eyes when I think of the pain that my red brothers and sisters suffered in the past yet they can sing with such love and peace in their hearts. My admiration for them is unending and my love for them forever.

[age49]

@nightrider836 Thanks for such a great comment. I'm glad the video can be of some joy for people. I bought the Walela CD in Indian City, Oklahoma in 2002, and I'm listening to it so often. Lol.

[nightrider836]

This is ageless beauty from a beautiful people of the human race. Thank you for this wonderfull song of peace it brings joy to my heart and peace to me each time I listen.

[age49]

@nightrider836 Ageless is the right word for this beautiful song and the content in the text. Thaks for this beautiful comment. Lol.

[SpirituallyHuman]

I, too, am Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Shoshone and Padawadamie. Trying to decide which tribe I want to register with Cherokee, Creek or Choctaw. Both my parents are American Indian and I have relatives on all 3 rolls. My Grandmother's Cherokee Roll number was 92 or 96, can't remember but it was in the 90's, a low number, I think?

I am learning the songs of the Cherokee and participated in the 13 original Clan Mother's book study. It is written by Jamie Sams, highly recommended!

[age49]

@SpirituallyHuman For a stranger as me, you have an interesting background. You are carrying an inheritance that sometimes might feel as a burden but also is a pleasure. God bless you and thanks for a nice comment.

[celticvixen7]

@SpirituallyHuman Choose? You are wonerfully unique. Tribes and affiliation like a T-shirt. Rather, they are the esthetically magnificent combination of all our 'connections'. Please, consider this before you discard that which you deem 'non-beneficial' or 'up-to snuff". You are an amzingly beloved and unique child of Creator. Kamama Inali

[age49]

@celticvixen7

Thanks for a nice comment. I'm so sorry that Indian City in Oklahoma no longer exists. Some of the pictures in this collage are taken in that city.

[celticvixen7]

@SpirituallyHuman Choose? You are wonerfully unique. Tribes and affiliation like a T-shirt. Rather, they are the esthetically magnificent combination of all our 'connections'.

These are not garments to be selected or discarded. Your post speaks of inclusion in multiple rolls, perhaps sharing more detailed information about this would be beneficial to all - you and your audience.

[SpirituallyHuman]

Yes and Hate was NEVER a family value to be taught to our children! ONlY LOVE WILL PREVAIL!

[age49]

@SpirituallyHuman Hate is so easy, love so difficult to learn. I do not know why it has to be like this.

[Mariaglenn]

@age49 Hate is a learned response, an accepted pattern..

Beauty is still walking on, we the keepers of the fire, the mother drum..we must remember

that we are all one..the animals, the trees, the herbs, the mountains, and fellow humans,

no matter who or what they do..still Grandfather is one with us, Grandmother Earth provides for us..

All one...All will walk in Beauty eventually..or..they will no longer exist...

This is what my Lakota Father taught me..

Blessings,

River...

[age49]

@Mariaglenn Thanks for these wise words. I can read you learned a lot of valuable attitudes from your father. Lol, take care.

[vpmoore]

Everyone wants to find the light. Not everyone does. Hate is learned. Love is our gift.

[age49]

@vpmoore Great words that can be read as a saying. Thanks for the comment.

[1wahya]

i love this song ....wado...wahya

[age49]

@1wahya Thanks for this nice comment. When making this video I did not think so many people would see it. Bless you.

[SpirituallyHuman]

Tells Good Stories says listen with your heart and your path will be clear! Thank you Walela for help to be way showers to the people of what once was, what happened and how to live in a good way now!

[age49]

@SpirituallyHuman We are obliged to look back and face what happened to people who walked the trails befor us. Thanks for this comment.

[CherokeeLady58]

I know what our people have shed for many sun's and moon's. It breaks my heart,....as I am Cherokee....but the Nation's are coming back...once again. Thank Wakan Tanka, Creator, Great Spirit.

[age49]

@CherokeeLady58 I feel there is sorrow in your heart, and you are great to form it in words. Thanks for good comment.

[CherokeeLady58]

All Nation's have travelled many path's.....Cherokee have travelled many path's as well. I would like to see who can come up with a video for our "Trail of Tears"....

[age49]

@CherokeeLady58 I will send the qustion in the air, perhaps somebody understand the message and makes such a video. Thanks for a great comment.

[jetfueller]

I love this song so much that I would give my heart and every last drop of blood to my native brothers and sisters. I have tears to shed for all your suffering and pain.

Peace to all. Wado.

[age49]

@jetfueller Thanks for your comment. Understand you feel a great love to your native brothers and sisters. It's a beautiful and valuable gift you have, not everyone feels the same and that's sad. Take care.

[MsWhysoseriouz]

does anyone know anything about something called blue spirit or something in indian folklore or anything?

[age49]

@MsWhysoseriouz Thanks for the comment and question. I hope someone will read your comment and perhaps give you an answer.

[age49]

@exultant767 Thanks for information.

[jetfueller]

A very beautiful song. I often drive to Toronto which takes me about six hours, I listen to Walela all the way and I feel great on the drive. Listening to the girls makes me feel so at peace and I love all the native people. They are a proud and noble people.

[age49]

@jetfueller Thanks "jetfueller". You are not the only one feeling peace listning to Walela. Their spirite are a dooropener for many people.

[kanelalee]

So beautiful, I never tire of hearing it.

[age49]

@kanelalee Thank you so much. I'm so happy I can make people feel glad and happy listning to this beautiful song by Walela. I was a pleasure for me to exsperience the Indian aereas in Oklahoma on my visit in 2002.

[TruckdriverMrs]

This is a beautifull song for a short meditation. Thank you for that.

Also thanks for the notations with some pictures. You don't see that offen.

Its a pitty that there is no "clip" with all the Native tribes in theire ritual "dresses" (sorry for that word, but I don't know how else I have to call it), with the names of the tribe ofcourse. I mean, for the wedding, death and all the other rituals they have.

MrsTruckdriver from the Netherlands

[age49]

@TruckdriverMrs You have nice ideas about a subject that would have been interesting to see. I have seen some dresses, but I know there are so many different used in special cases. Thanks for an interesting input.

[TruckdriverMrs]

@age49 You're welcome.

In short my story for the idea:

The idea came from an Indian "spirit" who came by me a few times when I was meditating. The last time I "saw" and talked to him he was dressed in a different way. His face was full of grief and he had a mourning "mask" (I don't know how to say it in other words) paited on his face.

This Indian spirit was very familiar and close to my heart to me, although I've never seen him in this life.

Does it all make sence to you?

Greets from me

[ELLEAQUAWATCH]

I have bought this CD and enjoyed the serinity of that music and her voice too bad not more people are coming in contact with that kind of music strange that right now I would like to be around horses (get in contact with horses on a regular basis)

[age49]

@ELLEAQUAWATCH You are saying so many right words. I agree in them all. See you have a dream to be around horses on a regular basis. If you are carrying a dream like this, you should try to do something about it. It's wrong to hide such dreams. You can feel sorrow for that later in life.

[roserouge3945]

j,aime cette piece elle est magnifique

[age49]

@roserouge3945  Thanks for such kind words.

[iluvbo4evr]

I so needed this healing song today as I feel so wounded by the cruelty in this world imposed upon the innocent ones.

[age49]

@iluvbo4evr Glad I could help you with this video. I have the same opinion as you, it is a song that can heal some sorrow or pain.

[iluvbo4evr]

@age49 Amen ...

[nightrider836]

At the end of my day I like to come here and listen to Walela. This brings peace to my heart. I want more than anything a peaceful world to leave for our children and grandchildren. I want happiness for my grandchildren but I will not leave them ignorant of the tragedy of the native people. Peace to all.

[age49]

@nightrider836 Thank for a nice comment. You are saying a lot of wise words. I agree in them all. Thanks again.

[MsThunderdome]

Another by Walela Called Circle Of Light

[myspiritsky]

very nice Thank you !

[age49]

Thanks for a nice comment. Walela sings so beautiful.

[iamearthbornami]

now im crying again~love and gratitude~peace

[age49]

If your tears comes from sadness I will cry with you. If they comes of happiness I will share your joy. Thanks for your honest comment. Love and peace with you too.

[iamearthbornami]

sometimes my tears just flow for all the suffering in the world~also the joy of life

[nightrider836]

Hi age49 thank you so much for the wonderfull videos and the beautiful music accompaniment. I love Rita and her group

and also a gisl called Jana Mashonee who ia also a wonderfull native singer. She has a Christmas cd with each song in a different native language.

[age49]

Hi and thank you for such a nice comment. I first heard about Walela in 2002 and has loved her music since than. I will look up Jana Mashonee and see what I can find. Thanks again.

[AndreaCzech]

Where could I get the text of this song? Andrea

[age49]

Hi Andrea

I have the text so I will put it in under "more info". Thanks for your interest and comment.

[shiznitmafudgeicob]

heyaz dudez!! i actually got 2 meet rita coolidge last night bc im part of rock but ya she rox!!!!!!!! and comment 2 the age 49 dude person thing im part navajo!

[age49]

Hi Great you met Rita C. She is a good artist. Thanks for dropping by.

[jetfueller]

age49 I'm afraid I had the wrong spelling for my great,great grandfathers tribe I just copied my old aunts spelling I now know it is spelled Navajo.

[age49]

Thanks for all great comments. A know a little about narive American tribes, and Navajo is one of them. Thanks again for watching my video.

[jetfueller]

age49 I have to ask you if you are native American. I have found out from two of the older members of my mothers family that my great,great grandfather on my mothers side was a Navahoe who travelled to Ireland with a wildwest show a long time ago and liked the people so much he stayed. His bloodline really came through in my aunt and uncle but not my mother.

[age49]

Hi jetfueller. Great to see you are watching my video so many times. I'm sorry to tell you that I am not a nativ American. All my ancestors come from Norway. Once upon a time I had a grandfather who went to America to earm money to build a new barn on his farm here in Norway. He staied in America for three years before returning, with money, to Norway..

[kimawa19981996]

im american indian, and my tribal mother died 2 months ago... i love you mams! my tribal name is smilin rinbow, my dads roaring thunder. i love walela soooo much. my aunt amy loved them and i remember singing with her before she died and the last time i saw her we sang the cherokee morning song.<3

[age49]

IIt's so nice to get comments that are written by people like you. Having indian names shows that you have ancestors from the early American inhabitants. I spent 2 months in Oklahoma in 2002, and I visited a lot of indian places. Among them Indian City. Very Interesting. Thanks for the comment.

[StrongDebbie]

My grandma told me.

Not back to tomorrow,there's anyone else but you.

[age49]

Thank you StrongDebbie. Your grandma is a wise woman. In many cases there are someone waiting to take benefit of another persons absence.

[craigmcbob]

I am 15 and i love this song

thanks 4 this

[age49]

Hi craigmcbob. Thanks for your comment.

It is nice to see so many people likes the video.

[jetfueller]

Thank you age49 this is one of their most beautiful songs. I live in northern Ontario and have many friends that are Cree and Ojibway. I love them all and I would love to have a Tsalagi brother. I am originally from Scotland and was really happy to hear the bagpipes in Walela`s version of Amazing Grace which is one of the nicest versions I have ever heard. Peace and love to all my red brothers.

[age49]

Thanks jetfueller for such a great input. So many different kind of people has made comments to my video and I'm very grateful. Walela's Amazing Grace with bagpipes is on a CD I bought back in 2002, and I agree, it is a beautiful version.

[Piratin2100]

very nice

[age49]

I am very happy you liked it. Brought the inspiration back with me from Oklahoma in 2002. "Walela" is such a great music group.

[witchweb20]

~Beautiful music for the soul~******

[age49]

Thanks for takeing time to watch the video. "Walela" is a very great group. Thanks for the comment.

[RoseShattuck]

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

[age49]

Thanks you liked it, and thank you for a nice comment.

[earlslilttlegirl]

I have always loved Rita and her voice, I am glad she is a voice for me and my people......Wado Rita

[age49]

I agree. Rita is a lovely person, not only a good representative her people, but for all type of people. " We are not strangers, we are all brothers.."

[SoarsWithEagles]

Journey to the voice from inside , listen and you shall here Hear what is in the heart for it will guide you in the journey Journey far inside to hear and know: listen well for it is the language of the heart It will never part it will take your hand and guide you to the end if we will be a friend SoarsWithEagles 

Lets us always carry love to the circle of life that we may all be in harmony with each other

Mitakuye Oyasin

[age49]

Thanks for these words of wisdom. Never did I think that this video should get so many nice and friendly comments when I loaded it into YT. Thanks to all.

[mastercchan]

a wonderfull video you have made and the music too thanks for sharing with me aho

[age49]

Thanks for such nice comment. Brought this beautiful CD with Walela with me back to Norway after a visite to Indian City. The atmosphere in the city inspired me to do this video. lol.

[irisangeltango1]

This song literally saved my life after my son died five years ago! I okayed it a million times!

[age49]

It's nice to hear that a song can be of such a comfort for a person in grief. And this is really a song of that kind. Someone staies behind and tries to guide us through sorrow. Thanks for such a kind comment, and god go with you.

[rc1965]

These three truly harmonize so well together...two talented sisters and the daughter/niece. Beafutiful...does anyone know who Laura's father is? I know her Mother is Priscilla.

[age49]

Thanks for the comment. I did not know the relationship between the singers. The only thing I knew was that they are great artists.

[SoarsWithEagles]

We are all brothers and sisters let us treat each other as such. Let us keep the circle of life for our children the children let us keep the circle for the ages so when the fading sunsets we can go to the Great Spirit knowing we helped to keep the circle of life

[age49]

To SoarsWithEagles.

Thanks for these words. A red line is running thorough our lives. At the start end at the end we are all alike. We should try to walk the line proud and know we did the best for all people.

[SoarsWithEagles]

Our children are our gifts to cherish... But for a little while they are ours... They grow to become children no more.. Teach your children well Let them know who you are for it will teach who they are also.. Give your spirit and knowledge to them.. Let them know what comes from deep within.. For it is then that they will begin to know who they are... Share your heritage and journeys with them for they are we if we will only let it be..

[age49]

Again, thanks for wise words.

[refici222]

no problem these days who isnt really busy.

[refici222]

[age49]

Thank you refici222. Thanks for two comments on this video. I had not forgotten you, but the time flies. So to day I will thanks you for both inputs. have a nice week end.

u-wo-du-hi "BEAUTIFUL"

[age49]

Thank you WyteDove. I was 7 weeks in Oklahoma in 2002 and had the possibility to travle around and see so many Indian places. "The and of the trail" statue in The National Western Museum, gave me so many thoughts.

[refici222]

awesome singing great harmony

[Spiritspast]

This is absolutely beautiful, so soul searching and it is true we are all brothers.

[age49]

I agree, but it is sad that there are people who have forgotten we are brothers.

[tsalagiwaya]

Wado! I love everything Walela does. You did a fantastic job with the pictures. Good to see a pic of Quanah Parker, in there. My hubby is Comanche, I'm Cherokee. We've met Quanahs' last living g'son Baldwin Parker who lives in Oklahoma, he's a wonderful man. We also know many Parkers as well. If you get the chance check out Old Fort Parker, in east Texas, it is like stepping back in time.

Many blessings,

Waya

[age49]

Bless you. When I placed the pictures in the movie I had no idea about that there could be descendants who could recognice people on the pictures. Those informations has done this video bigger for me. Thank you.

[mjw0047]

I love Walela and thanks for this great video. Walela always have a great message in their songs. 5+
