  • une belle chansson

  • IN love with her music!!! It's a charm and magic alive..

  • @stardragon2 I agree. Totally thought the same thing when I heard her the first time.

  • Πραγματικά έχει απίστευτη φωνή!!!Ηρεμία...

  • 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 :)

  • As a kid, this was probably the only song (or any THING for that matter) that could hold my attention for a whole ten minutes.

  • Υ Π Ε Ρ Ο Χ Ο !!!

  • 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 :)

  • @peaches4bitches Thanks! I must say that I do like Blackmore's Night till now ;)

  • @AliasCheri I tottaly agree with you!! :) x

  • I'm a dude. I work out. I'm kind of an a**hole. Into good old rock. I'm not gay.

    And I love her songs...

  • I paused cannibal corpse for this. really beutifull!

  • the voice of an angel pushing one to deep emotoin

  • i cant understand how one cant like this bit.

    strange...

  • 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!

  • this music takes me to the dream's magic place....beauty, flying free around the world, over seas and skies....

  • There are music that you can like, there are music that you can don't like, this is a music that you can live... like Mark Knopfler or Hevia (for me)

  • "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.

  • it's not dio,ozzy,metallica but i like the sound very much it's strange to say that because i'm a metalhead mwahahahaha

  • it's not dio,ozzy,metallica but i like the sound very much

  • This isn't really very violent, it's more of a love story isn't it? I'm trying to convince my teacher, so thumbs up if you agree :) xxx

  • Has to be the best rendition of this poem. Loreena McKennitt is an amazingly talented artist. Not just vocal but musical instruments. Enjoy!

  • Very nice!

  • I'm a punk and I love this :-)

  • <3 this poem

  • 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.

  • super.

  • 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.

  • Loreena Mcennitt is an amazing woman a she is my role modle!! i would love to meet her!<3

  • This is weird!!!!!!

  • @CrazyBear88

    The ones who dont like Loreena is not important in my view . . . There are too many, thousands - millions of singer for them to listen to . . .

    But Loreena should continue her way for the huge population who loves her !

    Greetings!

  • i'm roman but i love her...

    smiles

  • I love this song. it is my favorite song by Loreena McKennit. You can really picture the story as she sings it

  • 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 :(

  • Powerful!!

  • <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.

  • @Lunarfall12 The poems by Alfred Noyes, not Poe

  • @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...

  • @Lunarfall12 the highwayman was written by Alfred Noyes, not Edgar Allen Poe

  • @Lunarfall12 This poem was not written by Edgar Allen Poe. It was written by Alfred Noyes. :)

  • @Lunarfall12 hey! I'm in grade 7 as well and I'm learning this poem too! lol

  • @Lunarfall12 No, 134 people just missclicked like :P

  • Haunting and beautiful!

  • Love this :)

  • grow up with this music. My mom did listen to this also.

  • loreen you are awsome emotionly draining i need sometimes to cry to let go relize kgb

  • I LOVE this album!

  • the soldiers in this poem are assholes

  • I'm italian and i love romans and celts, i love this song.

    why this racism?

  • One of the greatest poems of a time before the American Revolution, brings a tie to the Old Country

  • Absolutely beautiful. Anyone who isn't moved by the motifs of this poem, or by Loreena's beautifully haunting voice, has no taste or emotions.

  • me encantan sus temas son re dulces

  • she is a god

  • love her music

    she is so heartful in her music

  • What is wrong with us? How can the ability to access awesome music in an instant around the world be met with such ugliness?

    This music makes my heart ache in a good way, some of you folks make it hurt.

  • @RocknRollFansOnly fuck you nazi piece of shit

  • @wallyabb LOL,I DONT EVEN HAVE A FUCKING TATTOO ON MY BODY.

    IM A FORMER U.S. VETERAN.

  • @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

  • the comment for wallyabb was for Rocknroll below im new to posting but he pissed me off

  • @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.

  • May she be blessed.

  • 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

  • favourite voice !

  • this is a poem called the highway man but sung

  • one of the greatest songs

  • 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.

  • @Ganjus America has more people claiming Irish descent than Ireland has people. We're quite proud of our Celtic-itude as well.

  • @MTWitherspoon

    The Irish population has never recovered to the levels seen before the Irish potato famine...

    A lot sailed west....

  • @WatchRyder I'm going to blame the Dutch, we're a lot further away from them that Ireland is.

  • @WatchRyder True,but those who sailed west have decendants here in the States....

  • @69Mikage

    Well said!

  • Im so glad to see all the views this has. I bought this CD long ago for my mom, I ended up stealing back.

  • 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.

  • @CelticDreammaker

    Wow, quite the little drama queen aren't you? Prissy American...

  • @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.

  • @CelticDreammaker

    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.

  • good

    

  • This song makes me cry..really...!

  • joseph erdem dedektif

  • excellent song... from the land of bluegrass Virgina.. we love the celtic sounds the roots of our sounds

  • I LOOVE HER!!!<3

  • I LOOOVE HER!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

  • this song alwaysmakes me cry

  • 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 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.

  • @orangeiceice12

    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.

  • @orangeiceice12

    Come to Galway and say that. You'll get laughed out of the county.

  • @johnnyromani55 Come to Nova Scotia and tell us we're not Scots :P

  • @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

  • oh so sad....so very sad song. but what a beautiful tune and melody.

  • Comment removed

  • freedom of speech friend..dont worry about it

  • 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.

  • does anyone know where i can get flute sheet music to this song???

  • THIS MY SONG ,.. secret of universe i hide in it.

  • @MrMentalflossed Oh, but it's so sad!

  • Loreena, i love you

  • This is beautiful

  • This music touches the soul.

  • awesome

  • 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.
