I didn't know Loreena's music, my Wife show it to me about 8 years ago. I was so charmed ... I was listening her beautyful music for months with no break. Yesterday I read that Loreena is gonna to visit Poland for the first time !!( i live here). Well , I just bought 2 tickets , now we need to wait - concert is on 24th march 2012 :)
Bit of a strange question, but I really love the atmosphere in Loreena McKennitt's music, its mysterious, cosy, historic, but also personal and sensitive. Do you know any other musicians or groups that have this feeling to their music, with whom you can read a book and everything feels so much more intense? :)
@AliasCheri Try Blackmore's Night, or if you want some heavyer stuff or somethin like that, Skyclad, Mago de Oz...that's all i know, hope i helped. Not really into that kind of music, i like it a lot, but yeah...hope i helped :)
My dick of a husband has gone up to the bottleshop pissed and backed into another car and now thats cost me, IM SO pissed off, nothing to do with this song really but is was something that is playing random,,, so mayBe it means soMething! I do like it! if that means anything,,,,,,,,,,,, I do have exceptional taste and am an hard arsse critice,,,,,,,,,,so if I like it iT must be good!
"His pistol butts a-twinkle at 1:55 " "Bess, the landlord's daughter at 2:27 " "Watch for me by the moonlight at 2:56 " "Oh, sweet black waves in the moonlight! at 3:26 " "And hell at one dark window at 4:50 " "Watch for me by the moonlight at 5:19 " "Cold, on the stroke of midnight at 5:48 " "Her musket shattered the moonlight at 7:02" "The landlord's black-eyed daughter at 7:32" At her peak in touching my heart.
I LOVE Loreena McKenitt and this song,Dantes Prayer and The Mummers Dance are my favourite Songs from her She is a great artist and the music is epic! >3
...κάποιες οντότητες ενσαρκώνονται να ανυψώνουν την συνειδητότητα του ανθρώπου,μία από αυτές είναι η loreena mckennit.Σε ευχαριστώ Θεεέ μου γιά τα δώρα σου!
is anyone hear such a mystic song like that before? how can be lady gaga more populer than her.. i can't understand. True, cause loreena dont showin her nü body on the tv.
sweet up AJMusicgirl tyvm what an angelic voice makes u travel as for all the hate in here chill peeps its music enjoy it.... greetings from a Greek/Canadian
This song has stuck with me for more than a decade.I hear it in my head every so often.The poem is great but somehow she makes it stay in your soul.I am pretty masculine but this song makes me want to cry whenever I hear it.
@Alfheim01 Hahahaha, I'm too. It's with metalheads to like this types of music too. For example, I also listen to Blackmore's Night, but then, a lot of ppl do, so nothing to brag about xD
when i was a kid my parents had split up. i use to stay at my dads for the weekends. every night he would turn on Loreena McKennitts CD and me and my sister would listen to it before we fell asleep. these are the songs of my childhood. i still find myself sometimes looking for them in my ipod when im about to fall asleep.
you know ive never been a fan of celtic music..but over the years of watching my favorite movies about the olden ages that have this type of music.. its grown on me.. keep up the good work!
Beyond all those stupid comments.... Still nobody couldnt realize that Loreena's divine voice gifted to her by god from the very deep and tranquil groves of heaven??
About " The Highwayman" poem...a saddening masterpiece. It still creates a pain inside whenever i read it or listen this song from Loreena :(
<3 The Highwayman <3 The Book of Secrets <3 Loreena. I can remember perfectly everything that happened in my life that year I got to listen this record for the first time. IMO a good sign of a truly unique record.
When I first learned this song, it was in school. We were learning poems by Edgar Allen Poe. First, we listened to it being spoken. then, sung, and then read it ourselves in front of the class. I was in 7th grade i think, but I am not sure. I only remember flashes. That happens sometimes. This song is a good song, and maybe the people that dislike it dislike the lyrics, not the singer. But i don't know. I love her so much.
@capturethatflag4 Was just going to say the same thing... As much as I love Poe, he didn't create this poem. Easily one of my favorites. So beautiful in its colorful usage of human tongue...
@RocknRollFansOnly U.S. Veteran my unmentionable! You're giving a horrible name to us Americans. Why don't you stop this crap now, kid? Turn the capslock off, and go troll people your age.
By the way, you do sound very Nazi. Or rather, incredibly opinionated and rather racist. -.-'
@wallyabb just thought you should know my mom's a vet jackass and you are never a FORMER veteran you at=re a veteran for life FORMER means you used to be so suck on a piece of knowledge you moron you probably lack the intellingence to appreciate loreena
@RocknRollFansOnly hey dumbass thought you should know you can never be a FORMER us veteran because former means "used to be" and since you not dead yet you can't be a former us vet cause your a vet till you die
@RocknRollFansOnly why do you hate the jews and the turks; you say you fought for the Allies but the way you talk about other peaple you don't sound like you did.
Good luck with all the arguments and insults. Forgetting about them would be the best luck. As for the music and poetry, there's another version by Phil Ochs on Youtube. I think the music is his
I can't speak for the US, but here in Canada we have a massive celtic heritage. Nova Scotia = New Scotland, and Cape Breton speaks better gaelic then most of Ireland. Newfoundland celebrates St Patricks day as a bank holiday making it 1 of 2 places to do so outside Ireland. Scottish, Irish, Celtic festivals are held throughout the summer, which are true to the heritage and culture. I dont consider myself anything other then Canadian, but we (at least part of the country) are celtic people.
I am so sick of people telling me I am not Irish I am. If people keep harassing me. I'll report you guys to Youtube for harassment. I don't need this. Not after what happened to me and my ex. Just leave me people please. I do nothing wrong. Just please leave me alone. It's all I ask for. So what If I haven't been there. I'll be there when I can. I need time to do this. I just got out into this world. Just leave me be. Please. Your breaking this girls life away form her. Your making me die.
@ladydancerx I'm not causing Drama. I was minding my own business. They started first. I'm not Prissy either. Yes I am born in America, But my roots is Irish. My grandfather is Irish. So you can just leave me alone. I'm trying to get on with my life thank you. But people keep on harassing me. I just want to be left alone. BLESSED BE.
Ok maybe I was too hard on you luv. It just seemed to be such an overeaction at first to a Youtube comment. Take my advice, don't let people who comment on Youtube upset you. They've only got as much power as you let them have. And, as a girl from Ireland myself, I agree that the way you are Irish is not the same as the way I am Irish, but I'm not going to hold being American against you. Chin up luv.
@ladydancerx Thanks, I'm Irish yes. Even though I have not been born on Ireland. I am one. Even though I'm taught differently. I still want to learn about the country my family was born at. But right now I can't even leave the state I am in now. Cause I've been in a bad relationship, that almost killed me. I can't leave to see Ireland until After I'm done with Court. I just wish to be left alone at times, coming form a hard past. I need peace at times. Sorry I didn't mean to yell at you.
My favorite poem in the world, made into an equally beautiful song sung by a beautiful voice. I tear up like a sentimental teenager every time I listen. So moving.
to the Scotsmen, just a tad wrong there, NC has more people of Scottish descent than Scotland itself. I'm a native of North Carolina and damn proud of it, my southern heritage, and my Scottish roots. Which run pretty damn deep since I'm a double Mc.
The Scotsman has it right. Just because your great grammy came over a hundred years ago does not make you one of us (Irish in my case). Heritage is all well and good, but most of us are sick and tired of the Americans bastardizing our culture for their drunken amusement.
@johnnyromani55 you must have misunderstood my point, I don't want to be a farking scottish pussy nor irish pussy, I'm a southerner of scottish descent by god.
Such a dreadfully American answer. You're proud of your "Scottish heritage" but the actual Scots are pussies. I see. Someone's either a tad confused or a typical American racist.
@johnnyromani55 The irony being, of course, that if @CelticDreammaker can prove that Irish Grandfather, she has every right to Irish citizenship, cuz of your wicked emigration and abysmal birth rates.
More irony: Joyce was abroad, Yeats was in Britain, even Guinness is a British company. And the fastest growing religion in Ireland? Buddhism. Even today, Dublin is half fake-Irish kitsch and tourist trap. These Americans and Canadians and Aussies you hate are the ones keeping your roots alive.
She can't anymore. Ireland has ended that policy. Of course Dublin is much more diluted in culture than the rest of Ireland. It was ruled be the British for 800 years. And Buddhism may be the fastest growing religion, but its by FAR from the largest. And I think our roots are doing just well without you thank you very much.
@Virginialogging I'm glad your happy about your roots. Do you think I can be happy to. Even though I am Irish. I was born in NC too. I was told Irish can be born there too. I've been through a lot. All ready, I don;t wish to make people mad at me. I need to know If I can be Irish still even though, I'm not born there. I know I might ask the wrong person since you have the Scottish blood. But I believe you are. Loreena is best thing I heard my life while seeking out my family origins
Shame on those 125 ppl who don't like Loreena McKennit. I hope that she conitnues to make her wonderful music even though her mother has passed from this world.
This is a gorgeous rendition of the poem, and I really love how the music sort of subtly establishes the mood, like the drum beat for the redcoats and the faint howling sound in the last verse.

@ladydancerx I'm not causing Drama. I was minding my own business. They started first. I'm not Prissy either. Yes I am born in America, But my roots is Irish. My grandfather is Irish. So you can just leave me alone. I'm trying to get on with my life thank you. But people keep on harassing me. I just want to be left alone. BLESSED BE.

Ok maybe I was too hard on you luv. It just seemed to be such an overeaction at first to a Youtube comment. Take my advice, don't let people who comment on Youtube upset you. They've only got as much power as you let them have. And, as a girl from Ireland myself, I agree that the way you are Irish is not the same as the way I am Irish, but I'm not going to hold being American against you. Chin up luv.

@ladydancerx Thanks, I'm Irish yes. Even though I have not been born on Ireland. I am one. Even though I'm taught differently. I still want to learn about the country my family was born at. But right now I can't even leave the state I am in now. Cause I've been in a bad relationship, that almost killed me. I can't leave to see Ireland until After I'm done with Court. I just wish to be left alone at times, coming form a hard past. I need peace at times. Sorry I didn't mean to yell at you.

My favorite poem in the world, made into an equally beautiful song sung by a beautiful voice. I tear up like a sentimental teenager every time I listen. So moving.

to the Scotsmen, just a tad wrong there, NC has more people of Scottish descent than Scotland itself. I'm a native of North Carolina and damn proud of it, my southern heritage, and my Scottish roots. Which run pretty damn deep since I'm a double Mc.

@Virginialogging
The Scotsman has it right. Just because your great grammy came over a hundred years ago does not make you one of us (Irish in my case). Heritage is all well and good, but most of us are sick and tired of the Americans bastardizing our culture for their drunken amusement.

@johnnyromani55 you must have misunderstood my point, I don't want to be a farking scottish pussy nor irish pussy, I'm a southerner of scottish descent by god.

@Virginialogging
Such a dreadfully American answer. You're proud of your "Scottish heritage" but the actual Scots are pussies. I see. Someone's either a tad confused or a typical American racist.
johnnyromani55 6 months ago
@johnnyromani55 The irony being, of course, that if @CelticDreammaker can prove that Irish Grandfather, she has every right to Irish citizenship, cuz of your wicked emigration and abysmal birth rates.
More irony: Joyce was abroad, Yeats was in Britain, even Guinness is a British company. And the fastest growing religion in Ireland? Buddhism. Even today, Dublin is half fake-Irish kitsch and tourist trap. These Americans and Canadians and Aussies you hate are the ones keeping your roots alive.

She can't anymore. Ireland has ended that policy. Of course Dublin is much more diluted in culture than the rest of Ireland. It was ruled be the British for 800 years. And Buddhism may be the fastest growing religion, but its by FAR from the largest. And I think our roots are doing just well without you thank you very much.

@Virginialogging I'm glad your happy about your roots. Do you think I can be happy to. Even though I am Irish. I was born in NC too. I was told Irish can be born there too. I've been through a lot. All ready, I don;t wish to make people mad at me. I need to know If I can be Irish still even though, I'm not born there. I know I might ask the wrong person since you have the Scottish blood. But I believe you are. Loreena is best thing I heard my life while seeking out my family origins

This is a gorgeous rendition of the poem, and I really love how the music sort of subtly establishes the mood, like the drum beat for the redcoats and the faint howling sound in the last verse.
