How Can I Keep From Singing?

[AwesomeCatherine]

Awesome and absolutely calming song... and the saddest moment in 1:33 !

[berrypickers]

31 people are orcs

[cooldude12345665]

man this song is awesome i listen to it everyday before i go to work !

[gullitaiem]

Thumbs up if you are going to share this song with someone special

[gullitaiem]

Thumbs up if you are going to download the enya discography

[PChris64]

so beautiful, love it!

[213micah]

who sing this song?

[alan59able]

thank you for posting, the track means a lot to me

[Theowlhawk]

food for my soul : )

[CoachZucchini]

Not one picture of Elron?

[Delphicapollo]

This video has senselessly been restricted so that it cannot be viewed on smart phones or tablets! This is pointless: An iPhone has exactly the same playback as an iPod! End these foolish restrictions! Phone owners, send feedback to YouTube and give restricted videos a thumbs down!

[CoachZucchini]

@Delphicapollo Blame Apple. The iPhone does not have exactly the same playback as an iPod, or an iPad. They were the ones who decided not to put Flash capability in the iPhone.

[decondemon]

29 people are deaf

[liamtheboykid]

Since LOVE is Lord of Heaven and Earth, how can I keep from singing.

[MikkiEph2v8]

@liamtheboykid God is Love, so I guess you could say that ;-)

[fernandosuna1]

EXCELENTE MUSICA PARA TUS SENTIDOS,,,SOLO LO MEJOR,,,,DESDE VILLA UNION SINALOA MEXICO Y PARA TODO EL MUNDO UN GRAN SALUDO,,,

[facelessbel]

What a crappy video made with really beautiful song !

Definitely some damn troll decided to splat shit from his head all over the other.

[jesuslamb]

i like the song, but the video does not correlate with the song because it is a Christian song openly praising God  and the vid is of Elves from Lord of the Rings...

[GravityGrave]

lol the pic at 2:10 is so funny! Is that what Elrond said to Aragorn and the pic being him and Arwen? I never read the books, but I can totally imagine it... haha

[corelli2]

where can I find the music and lyrics to this song? It is so hauntingly beautiful.

[GravityGrave]

@corelli2 download online! :D lol and for lyrics, just look up the song on wikipedia

[annauser1]

love the song and video

[PhantomX141291]

Beautiful voice.. So calming

[kalthaushummel]

could do with a little less pathos for me. but it's a beautiful song, lovely lyrics. thank you for uploading!

[dapsapsrp]

Enya's sweet, ethereal voice brings a unique touch to this timeless song that evokes peace. Her version is the absolute best.

[Inf]

[soccerbuds987]

@Inf yeah really

[Richard37Looking]

amazing one of my favorite songs(i have many favorites) with 1 of my favorite singers and my favorite movie series. please listen to Eva Cassidy's version of this song. you'll also LOVE her music - she's hauntingly lyrical.

[MegaDALMATINAC]

beatiful



[cuttiikiingx3]

who origonaly sang this song?

[kalthaushummel]

@cuttiikiingx3 pete seeger

[bojango40]

This has to be one of the most beautiful peaceful voices i have ever lisnted to

[bojango40]

such a beautiful voice, with the talent to use it.

[49lorna]

really good and very awe inspiring -- keep singing ENYA

[Oobergoth09x]

i sang this song when i was in school for my singing exam it in memory of my nan she best!!! love this song so much. R.I.P Nan xx

[sam077088]

Hear the music ringing - ive dedicated this to T.B who over stepped the mark in our relationship. its over. we reached the point of no return. but, no storm can shake my innermost calm not even yr pettyness!

[KenDoeFresh]

My favorite Enya song

one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard,

It helped me have God's holy spirit

[RPtheTruth]

This is a very gorgeous song and I absolutely adored the pictures with it; you did a very good job of not only putting good pictures to it but also matching the pictures with the words playing at the time; and I loved the poem at the end. Namarie =3

[luvs2cook2006]

its amazing!!! i <3 it!!!

[absey11]

i absolitly love this song its soooo beautiful!!! xx

[robbyperez]

I think they could have selected a better looking Galadriel... maybe Chalize Theron... Arwen too...

[Lorica46]

@robbyperez , I think that part of their charm is that they have a kind of timeless beauty about them, thry aren't perhaps beautiful in the modern sense but they have a noble demeanor which is appropriate for their character developement

[deceptant]

lol no. Tolkien's elves are not supposed to look like what the masses think is pretty. They have a deeper beauty to them, far from conventional.

[TheJeniffer257]

H8 this song

[FANOFFAST]

In the beginning man created God.

[angusshep]

too right!

[CodyNelsonMusic]

"God is dead, and we have killed Him." ~ Nietzsche

That line of thinking gave us Hitler.

[Eluthien]

@CodyNelsonMusic that line of thinking is philosophy...philosophy gave us the world we live...throwing mud at a philosopher just because you don't agree with him is really cheap..show some respect..

[TheToXeN]

@Eluthien As long as we remember this: god is never dead and we dont kill him we only drive him away. i understand its principle however. however i can only half agree.

[Eluthien]

Believing to God or Allah or Budha is ones right.You cannot force it on someone or mock him for not believing.This is the main principle and it's called Human Rights.Simple as that.

[BookloverLBT]

@Eluthien

Ideas have consequences. Think about it.

[Hollyberry95]

This song gives me goosebumps!!!!!  So niceee xxx

[TeamHeavySuck]

Beautiful song and pictures. Brilliantly put together! Well done!

[secretsquirrellurve]

actually the waitrose has different versions, one is sung by camille kerslake. Im singing this on friday night and cacking myself!!!!

[TheYorkshiretoad]

waitrose advert! lol..

[soldierrlc]

I've got to thank that Waitrose advert for selectibg such an elegant, beautiful and loud song. Loud i mean it speaks volumes without really saying much at all.

I'm a male and this song is almost reducing me to tears it's so peaceful and gorgeous.

[ArwenPendragon]

The one in the Waitrose advert was sung by LIbera, the boys choir, not Enya. A great song regardless, though. :)

[Mafiafreak]

Very nice song.

It was played on the funeral of my grandfather.

[Leemanftw]

I'm sorry. May your grandfather rest in peace. :(

[edwardluvr2311]

aw that's so sad! when did your grandfather die? you don't have to answer that if you dont want to.

[MarcieLightwood]

A beautiful version of this was recorded by Judy Collins on her CD, "Portrait of an American Girl". Unfortunately, when you try & find it on YouTube, it's been hijacked by some loud Christian music. It says it is Judy, but it isn't. Too bad.

[wickedrentgirl22]

i get to sing this in choir :)

[Sibadibdoo2]

so lucky!

[247joshman]

I love the tune by John Scott

[kevpike1]

Incredible song. How can I keep from listening to it ?

[liljulee1]

were singing this in chior

[Soulstrummer]

whats with the elves...

[bluefire0615]

songs from lord of the rings retard

[Elemarth]

This is a beautiful version of this song, though it is not written by Enya. These words were arranged by Pete Seeger, and it's older than that.

[roronoazoro11]

I think they mean it was preformed by Enya

[MoonLotusWolf]

Singing this with the SATB concert choir at our first concert in Fall...

[dragonflydreamweaver]

wow ! this song is so awesome.. I literally had tears flowing listening to it.. this song, the voice, the music... they touched my soul... and that is becoming a rare thing in today's world.. having ones soul touched by a voice.. awesome!! when that happens.. embrace it! :)

[cptnsweet]

My soul cries from the beauty of her voice! Ahh tis the grace of God!

[alinaalicious]

iloveit<3 it's the best song.

[hymnsinger5]

I sang this hymn at mass today as the recessional. This is a nice hymn and stirs the soul!

[omahascout]

There is no way you can one-up Enya. She is solid through and through. The best ever. Hands down.

[MarilleAilinel]

This song says it all. "Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing." (the hymn writer's original lyrics).

[Black7Magican]

at 0:25 the elvish writing is wrong. there are some missing letters.

[tatankanumber1]

the best song of enya!i love it

[amchomemaker]

this songs makes me think of my life. I really need to get things in order.

[mizjahaira]

You will. Don't give up.

[Rukkiducky]

@amchomemaker

Yes, you do.

[irvnz]

you might want to look at Clannad's stuff... or use more hobbits~!

[gemanrioaks]

Can anyone give me advice on whether this song is a good song to audition for an arts school in my country? They're looking for musicianship and technique...Thank you!! =)

[FANOFFAST]

Get some mates.

[6our6vampire6hearts]

beautiful video, I LOVE this song! we sang it in our school choir class a few years back (we definately didnt do as good haha) but I really enjoy it. I love your video too!! Lord of the Rings was awesome (orlando bloom was HOT) the elves were just too dang cool!

[mmm888777]

[popmusicno1fan]

[kailei155afoxie]

My life folws on in endless sone

[NLBLOMG]

What an amazing voice, gives me gooshbumpsh. You can feel her music in your soul, it sooths your mind and heart.

[NLBLOMG]

Such an amazing voice, gives ya gooshbumpsh. You can almost feel the music coming from the soul it's so beautiful. Sooths the mind and heart.

[ilovesingingirealydo]

and enya is one of my fav singers...she doesnt sing like an angel she IS one!!:)

this song is perfect in so many ways!!!

how can i keep from singing?:)

thank you lady of light!:)

[siristaci]

I need more suggestions of songs to do. I don't have a wide variety of music, but I have Enya's Paint the Sky with Stars album, a few Beatles and Queen songs. I have lots more, but I am limited to a few characters here. If you would like to suggest a song for me to do (or more info on what songs I have), send me a message (I may not do any song you suggest, I have to be able to really get into it.)

[peggyinchina]

Enya's song is really Angel's song. Her voice is unique the best in the world. I very like her voice!

[o0fallinxrain0o]

maybe libera......?

[jasmine23pvz]

hello there;)

yes, i would love to see a video wiht the music Yesterday , and some photos like this..,)

kiss from portugal.peace* =)

[twilight0sylum0forme]

anything my something corporatwe. But I can settle for Billy Joel either piano man or vienna

[Tinkamunk]

carrie underwood

[toterola451]

This is quite nice.

What Beatles albums do you have? There are so many of their songs that evoke images in my mind! Hell, I've been watching them play, in one form or another, for 45 years!

[siristaci]

I don't have my computer atm, using a friends for now. hopefully I will get a new one soon and then I will go through my cd's and get back to you on what I have.

[siristaci]

I now have the entire beatles discology, so suggest what you want, though i don't guarantee i'll do it because i don't like all their songs.

[toterola451]

Just off the top of my head: "Blackbird", "Rain", "The Long and Winding Road", "Elinor Rigby", "Paperback Writer"...

These are evocative songs, with intricate back stories, played out (with the exception of "...Winding Road) over a very few minutes.

They've been inspiring artists for nearly 50 years. I'm sure something (there's another one!) that will grab your attention.

Good luck!

[siristaci]

@toterola451 Sorry I haven't been able to reply, I wasn't able to log in for a few months, so I haven't seen your requests until just now. I can't wait to begin. :)

[Sibadibdoo2]

This may not be your sort of song, but personally I just love the song Tears in Heaven by The Choirboys!

[IwakiKatouLuver]

My mom used to tell me that Enya's voice was the voice of the angels...I still believe it...Her voice is so lovely...

[kt27rule]

i love thsi video it so cute and sweet

[JonasBrothersRock59]

We sing this in SongFest, but nothing like that! Some parts are cut out, too.

[zr61636]

Enya sings like an angel...

[092Films]

[blazerlover25]

this is such a beautiful song her voice is so amazing almost like listening to an angel

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song! We sing it in choir.

[bananahpi]

This song is so beautiful! And Enyas voice makes it so much better!

[bananahpi]

I love this song, and Enya just makes it that much more beautiful!

[bananahpi]

I freaking love this song, and Enya doing it just makes it that much more beautiful.

[chorister51]

This is beautiful but I prefer Liam O'Kane's version.

[mrbastad]

i got a loads albums of Irish singer, they bloody perfect voice ever, love Irish song forever.

[42itus2]

The editing of this video is also very much appreciated. Others have paid less attention to this in their comments, being so mesmerized by the other gorgeous aspects of the whole.

I'm just saying....

[braincloth]

enya has a magical voice...

[ncoafr]

bliss.

[bikerbp]

enya has a haunting voice she is one of the best female singers in the world.

[jamesdagless]

I'm so lucky !

The luck of the Irish !

[roflmangos]

[breffnipark]

mmmm Enya's voice is just PERFECT !!!

Well SHE is IRISH and she shares my SURNAME which means she is perfect in every way ! x

[TheGodsDaughter]

Nice!

[kateschwanke]

I wonder if anyone else knows this is an old time hymn haha. Enya does a great job on this though.

[rmp201]

*tears*

[loilty]

im singing this song in chrous

[DamnHesHott]

i sang this in my junior districts concert! but a lot faster. its a beautiful song

[alderson910]

Hauntingly beautiful voice.  Powerful words.

[seesaw65]

Played at my dad's funeral.Cried then and crying now in rememberance .And to the person who said it should not be played at funerals..we were sad..my father was happy as he was meeting God whom he had prayed to for so many many years

[jibbajabba28]

Im singing this in choir now. It's pretty good, but they left out a couple a few lines.

[mylovely18]

Beautiful.

Such fantastic vocal contol!

[mylovely18]

Beautiful lyrics.

Such vocal control!

[clubpride]

i have to song this song in choir

[clubpride]

I have to sing this song in choir

[Leafgemini]

We're singing this song in choir, along with loch lomond, sakura sakura and ubi cataras its so beautiful

[Ladywort]

I know the version of Eva Cassidy, and I'm the opinion that hers is absolutely the best version of this song!

[philproductions2210]

yes!

[InChristWithJoy]

You guys all know that this song is talking about God, right? I think it's really cool and Enya has an amazing voice!

[hopeful512]

hey, i have to sing this song for my choir class! how cool is that? but we sound really bad, and a little different!

[irockduhh]

im singing this is chour love this song its so beautiful!

[KuramaLover1859]

im doing this song in chorus

[Lunoma]

Is brea liom Enya! Tá a guth iontach coirraitheach!!!

[musiclover58]

I have an UNBELIEVABLE version(audio) of Eva Cassidy(1963-1996) doing this song with a gospel choir-- It's sooo good and she hits a high A in the chorus. Contact me & I can email it to you !

[sjaeckh]

I also love the version by SheDaisy, it's a capella and really powerful. Do you have that?!

Does anyone have this song by SheDaisy? I'd love if someone could email it to me!!

[nataraja87]

please e-mail it to me!!

[meaggan10]

hmm we sang the same words yet differnt tune

so pretty though!

[walnutlover]

this song was played at my gramps' funeral :)

i love it

[Arissef]

I'm sorry but Enya's music should not be played at funerals. It's so touching that it shoulg only be associated to joy and happiness and not death!

[evilcows91]

dead doesnt necessarily have to be looked at in a sad way..

[Raflin00]

But if the person lived a good and happy life, their life DOES go on. My Dad died on Dec 2nd, 2007. He loved to sing, and I asked for this song at his funeral. He would have loved it, and I loved that it was sung.

[sumdrmr37]

I totally agree. We should celebrate that they are in a better place now.

[Wittonwood]

Too right!

I recently went to the funeral of my sister-in-law. It was a celebration of her life, full of joy and jokes and laughs. She may have been in her 70s but she'd chosen joyful contemporary music to be played out to. It was a life-enhancing expereince.

[Raflin00]

"Shouldn't be played at funerals?" You must have never had this played at a loved one's funeral. My Father loved this song, and he loved to sing. It was the PERFECT song to play at his funeral. And by the way, have you ever read Enya's response when someone told her that this song was often played at funerals? She said: "I am humbled and grateful to know that my music can honor someone who has passed."

[jammies3]

Hauntingly beautiful, the images only add to this lovely hymn........

[kyliehartie]

I love this song! We sing it in choir. It's a beautiful song!

[Athena011235813]

All the elves are gone! *sobs* Beautiful song.

[Miveth07]

A beautiful song that can only be done justice by her voice.
