Mediaeval Baebes - Umlahi

[apollodave654]

Gotta love youtube. Never heard of these women before one week ago. Like most of the music, on my hard drive, I've never heard these enchanting sirens on any other media form. I managed to procure six of thier albums, then dicovered they're no longer together....What a crime. They should get together, just to make me happier.

[AntoniettaChines1222]

Beautiful!

[supastar668]

....sooooo HAUNTING!!!!!!! I've always loved Celtic/ irish/ whatever genre of music this song falls under, but now I've found the BEST example so far in my endless Youtube search!!! If anyone has any recommendations - by these angelic artists or otherwise - please LET ME KNOW!!!!

[zemotheon12987]

@supastar668 The genre would probably be Medieval. The language is probably an old European language or dialect. It is absolutely beautiful.

[renkurasaki]

@zemotheon12987 Supposedly, this is a made up language. No one knows the meaning other than the lovely ladies that sing it.

[treblinska]

terrific :-)) no flesh involved.. just music thankyou ALL concerned

[cr00sum]

To expand in a rather hair-splitting (anally retentive, if you prefer) manner on @DarBowsong's reply to @RamrodAl, "...Celtic is a broad term {used} to describe many different peoples with {broadly} similar cultures. {In England it} most often refers to the Irish...cultures, {but is/was by no means limited to Britain (or even Europe?)}"

[Migdal1971]

orgasm is a word not concerning just sex, but concerning a general excitation, also mentalexcitation. please look at the word in the dictionnary

[Dre4m3r00]

my 7 virgens

[durzadead]

@RamrodAI im sorry but real music is what people make it its the opinion of the person listening i happen to like rap rock this and many other genres and appreciate it. i try to b respectful of other peoples opinions of music and not bash on other genres. this is a good song by talented people and i enjoy listening to it,its very calming =)

[lkellermanl543]

@durzadead , thats very true. just like everyone has their own opinion, they have different tastes in music.

[VEveyHammond]

I used to give my daughter a nighttime bath with lavender, a warm cup of chamomile tea, and laid her to sleep listening to these wonderful women singing softly. It was the best of times for me and her. I love her and my son so much.

[HolosNauta]

The combination of God and Vagina.

[hannersmassacre]

[RamrodAI]

Hey Jay-Z,P-Diddy, Eminem and all you other rappers...THIS is REAL music...take a lesson from it.

[ZanthiaKhala]

Music that moves the soul. Love the Madiaeval Baebes.

[HakuSajoh]

OMH! I love it!

This song is too perfect!!!

I love it! <3

[Ironchef765]

Absolutely enchanting...mystical almost. Captures the soul. Huzzah to the fare maidens of medieval music. For it is you that defines the real heart and soul of a true medievalist! We adore you!

[Ironchef765]

Absolutely enchanting...mystical almost. Captures the soul. Huzzah to the fare maidens of medieval music. For it is you that defines inspiration and the real heart and soul of the medievalist! We adore you!

[volleysteph8]

[maksphoto78]

Emily Alice Ovenden sings in her own metal band, Pythia.

[pspboy7]

Pretty ladies indeed :)

[wcnktn]

what are they speaking

[Finalfantasy94]

@wcnktn middle english

[RamrodAI]

@wcnktn  I believe its ancient Celtic

[UnafromMT]

@RamrodAI The words to this song invents Umlahi's composer, Katharine Blake. This language is known as "Katkinese".



[RamrodAI]

@UnafromMT ah ok wasn't 100% sure

[DarBowsong]

@RamrodAI There isn't actually a language called Celtic, Celtic is a broad term to describe many different peoples with similar cultures, most often it refers to the Irish, as in Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder, but can also be applied to Scottish, Welsh, and Cornish cultures, among others.

[BanjerTube55]

Excellent.

[blno11]

YAY!!! LOVE IT!!

[lunahate]

I don't have the lyrics of this song but i've got the lyrics from all the songs on mirabillis

[linuxwave]

Could anybody provide the lyrics? I am unable to find them on the Internet. Thanks.

[DistantDreamer93]

All Medieaval Babes lyrics (including the lyrics translated into Modern English) can be found on Lyrics Wiki! When I found the site, I was really chuffed =P

[Jackytronion]

Magnifique !

[Elizium1970]

[sophiathelema]

celestial orgasm

[topito2]

@sophiathelema i felt the same ;-)

[synballein70]

Amazing!

[amandarandom89]

Huh, they're a lot better when recording in a studio than life.

[In2Infinity]

its all autotune...same as any modern bands tho

[sumecut]

man ive been trying to find secreit nicht everywhere with no look i love that and this one

[Elvinauk]

That was just beautiful. I'm going through some stress at work at the moment and this was what I needed before I face the day...

[tink449]

just lovely

[LateMarch]

I've tried to find what the lyrics are and what they mean, plus the origin of the song, but have never been really able to. Does anyone on here know?

PS - it's one of my absolute favorites of their songs!

[pngilman]

a beautiful song, not sung by most of the girls in this video

[EffingAndJeffing]

True that. I find it a little irritating that their lineup has never been the same one album to the next.

Ah well. Different projects, different life events and so forth conspire to cut some member's ties to the band, I guess.

[StewNWT]

Best album so far definitely Mirabilis. I was incredibly lucky they came to Edmonton Canada and performed at my university right on their tour for that CD. Just fantastic live (although they did get on stage just over an HOUR late).

I am working on breakingdown the acapella in this for SSAA and SATB

[xXmusetteXx]

its so beautiful! :'o

[mahogonywhisper]

nothing seems to matter when i hear this

[janeEyreAddict]

haughting and breathtaking!

[blame78]

but still beautiful barefoot baebes. yum

[pagan22]

Regardless of the change in members, I absolutely love this band. I love all of Kathryn Blake's projects.

[gennx30]

geeze-they used to be 11 or 12-now down to 6

Oh well best wishes to Kathryn

[elfallalone]

magic

[bahnhof021]

Oh damn you gotta hear Delerium's "Sister Sojourn Ghost". it samples this and aonther track off Mirabilis

[ElianaRei]

Is there anyway that I could get this track from you?

Excellent melody and harmony!

[balak1]

what song is this? just what I needed to detach from the noisy urban living

[UnafromMT]

:). Song: Umlahi, album: Mirabilis.

[loganduke]

What happend to all the other baebes? left, fell out, creative differences?

[JigsawsRose]

loganduke - most went on to persue solo/other projects. In the case of Dorothy Carter though (the eldest member of MB), she sadly passed away.
