@Tabularastaify ; There are 3 closely related species of bristlecone pine trees, some living up to 5000 years,when the pyramids were being built they were seedlings......
The first time I heard this song it brought tears to my eyes - it was if I had been visited by a long lost friend that I had forgotten had even existed
She has a lot of amazing songs, though this one really is something different. Even for her. It has been one of my favourite songs for long. Thank you Loreena for this very, VERY beautiful song. This is what the world needs :)
This is history, although against that one some of us are proud of... sheer history of the Earth, a monument to the continuation of Life, a natural statement of how silent things suffers from but endures all the pestilence of Mankind towards Nature. Wonderful song, in a semantics unto the universal soul. Loreena is a world of Peace and Harmony...
Delicate and piercing.......such astounding musical beauty, and lovely images....a feast for the senses. Thank you Loreena, for this gorgeous masterpiece.
I have been absolutely haunted by this one; Loreena said that it represents earth's yearning for release from human oppression.
And indeed, her vocals sound not just like the despair of the Earth, but like the sobs and wails of the bean-sidhe (banshee); the fairy woman wails through the night to warn a family that death is near for one of their loved ones.
And more than one banshee crying at once warns that death is near for someone of great importance.
"Ancient Pines are today the oldest (acknowledged) living organisms on Earth". Wow! Thanks for the tip, I guess I have finally caught the essence of this lovely piece!
Once i heard a music a soft music but I had not the courage to ask the listener the name of the band, it was a mixture between classical and electronic or chillout, I am not sure if it also had somewhat of drums as the parade bands you know what I mean? drop me a line.
This is part of the best memories of the first Christmas I spent with my ex. I never knew the name of this song for eight years, as I had taped it and only had a hunch it was Lorena McKennitt's song. But I found it two days ago and it was wonderful to hear it in its entirety again.
Beautiful! The lack of words adds to it; just the raw emotion in the vocalise. And these magnificent trees truly adds to the mood; ancient pines... a sense of unfulfillable yearning as well as the old-growth trees.
At times, this reminds me of a banshee's wail; mournful, lonely, empty, and filled with longing. And the banshee (bean-sidhe) is of Irish and Scottish origin. It all fits wonderfully. Loreena truly has a gift!
this is beautiful, you can't help but relax listening to this

It makes me wonder if McKennitt ever listened to herself when she was younger and thought, "I am a horrible singer."
And then realized she is the best ^_^
Her voice is simple exquisite
