Rajaton - Dobbin's Flowery Vale

[99CERBERUS99]

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop that rajaton did near where I live it was amazing.this is a beautiful song and anyone who doesn't think so either doesn't know good music or was crying so much because of the song that they missed the like button

[be8nice]

The late great flute player Frankie Kennedy with Altan was the first to put these two tunes together in this way. Only the first tune, a slow air, is actually called Dobbin's Flowery Vale. There are lyrics to it--it's a traditional Irish song from County Armagh. The second tune is a reel played at a slow tempo that's known by several names, including Eddie Moloney's Favorite and The Drogheda Lasses. I hope Rajaton gives Altan credit for the arrangement.

Woah... who needs drugs and alcohol when you can just listen to this song...

[MicrophoneAssassin13]

@mothaOmess Well you could listen to it with drugs and alcohol... maybe it would be even more superlative... which is, i realize, oxymoronic

[mothaOmess]

@MicrophoneAssassin13 Um... No T_T

I listened to this song in Vocal class because we were detirming and picking out notes and stuf like that. The first time I heard it, it just sounds so beautiful. I always forget that theres no instruments, because the guys just do the bass so well.

Everytime I hear it, I get chills, like right now.

They seriously, do an amazing job. <33

[TheBluppy]

this.is.amazing.



[Moonrae6]

This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard; their voices are just incredible, beautiful! Just listening to the beautiful music gives me chills! :)

[royalparadigm]

This song sounds really familiar but I can't place it. Almost everyone I know agrees with me but no one knows where they might have heard it. Does anyone know?

[MORIELification]

imagine this: 0:00 a woman walks into a grave yard bring a flower for her lost love. she sing in her man's grave up to 1:58. then the heaven opens at 2:00 to 2:07. after that she see her man climbing down from the sky. at 2:08 the man sing(with the angels) to comfort his love. then at 2:55 the lady said the she can't live w/o the man but at 3:14 they hug and sing together. but at 3:45 it's time for the man to leave. while she is singing he said:" don't worry" at 3:50. then dey say goodby @ 4:02

[guyvan1965]

Perfectly well!

[billtalentfreak202]

those bass notes are so crisp it's kinda scary....

[KellyGraceST987]

I sang with Rajaton in May. I came home and found this song. All I could say after for 3 hours was, Oh My Gosh. My parents thought I needed to go to the doctor from shock or something. This is the most amazing talent anyone in music history could have. Mesmerizing. Absolutely mesmerizing.

[saskatoonsistars]

.. Wow. That's all I can say.

[nevershoutnayo]

amazing.

i go to a performing arts school, for vocals and my teacher used this as one of the examples for the 7 elements of music.

I have this on my iPod now.

[newmoonnumber1fan]

[foolonthehillz]

This song is beautiful in the way the serifs on calligraphy are beautiful - simple and expressive, yet soulful and nuanced by the pure humanity of it. It's so silky and elegant . . . mind blown.

[shadowofaprincess]

Amazing. Just amazing.

[Escape126]

The colours fluxuating reminds me of my first intense DMT break through.... omg.

[Scarecrowking]

@Escape126 I was gonna yell at you for the stupidness of that, but ehh, DMT is actually the best of choices for drugs so whatever. Sill not all too smart though.

[runnergirlsub5]

This is beautiful. Only people who really know music can appreciate this kind of amazing musical talent. So lovely.

[PrimRose882]

last month i sang with rajaton...they were amazing! i will never forget that! one day i will look back on that day and realize that i really can do anything

[Love10139]

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!

[TwilightFrosting]

Absolutely stunning song... Rajaton is amazing. Their wordless phrases are more powerful than a thousand words

[redhot654]

Sooo happy that we got a chance to perform with them and watch them perform, I'll never forget it <3

[JwolfSOJ]

im so glad i got the chance to sing with them and watch them preform

[tokyomewmewismylife]

[13139Allyson]

i'm so excited i get to go to a work shop with them and do a concert with them through school i can't wait

[CetasWind]

When I hear this song, words flow from my fingers. If only I could put it into the play it has inspired.

[loveyouforever512]

Thissss is my favouriteee song!!!

[Rowanriver]

the guys all look so young in this picture. does anyone know how old they were when they sang this? It's impressive.

[thenextidol1234]

i have been listening to this for the past three hours :/ thats not healthy..... I LOVE RAJATON <3

[imafreakingawsome]

I absolutely love rajaton and this song and butterfly have to be my favorites we are singing this song in choir I am so excited, we're also singing unwishing well and butterfly its freaking epic

[BlenderPower]

i would kill for our teacher to let us sing this. it's just.. wow.

[Finton1993]

me to!!! there coming to our highschool for a workshop with my choir, its gona be epic!!!

[bibsa1]

My choir did a performance of this last month. It's an amazing song. The harmonies are beautiful.

We actually get to do a workshop and perform with Rajaton in March. I'm extremely excited, I can't wait to work with such amazing performers.

[ShaaFace]

@bibsa1 :O You get to do a workshop with Rajaton?! UNFAIR! I absolutely would love to. I'm performing Butterfly on sunday night. How did you manage to arrange that?

[bibsa1]

I know! I'm not exactly sure how they [our conductor and the choral association] arranged it, but I know that we're extremely lucky to get to work with such talented performers. Butterfly is an AMAZING song. It's probably my favourite.

[fusionleslie]

Umbracaseus you did a beautiful job of capturing the music in movement :)

[illn123]

This almost made me cry. So beautiful.

[xrose24x]

I can still remember the first time I heard this song. At 2:04 when all of their voices open to this beautiful harmonious crescendo, and then at 2:09 when a smooth, milky male voice takes the lead. I was stunned and mesmerized. Absolutely amazing.

[tokyomewmewismylife]

@xrose24x i agree, it's the best live though

[redhot654]

@xrose24x

just shows how much you can express without using words <3

[tripp2012]

so beautiful.

[technocarmike]

absolutely unbelievable.

i'm not going to even try to describe what emotions this song made me feel.

[TheEmergingLight]

Oh what I would do for the sheet music or score to this.

[Umbracaseus]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to do this for my undergraduate project in university... This song is just too perfect.

[sephiroth3782]

[xxxNOXxxx]

[shirinie54321]

This is perhaps the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[twitchybitch1152]

[todanceXtolive]

Ｉｔ＇ｓ　ｓｏ　ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌ．

[AnaRivera]

Which publisher sells Rajaton sheet music? I am in an advanced vocal ensemble and I would like to acquire sheet music by the group.

[myhairyface]

this is a stellar song. I LOVE RAJATON!!

[Ascocenda]

This sounds like an adaptation of the instrumental version recorded by Altan, with the flute of Frankie Kennedy. That's why it does not sound like the common folk versions (as lorgain2 commented.) But I like this idea, especially that they sung without words. I do not think they overused or abused anything, as long as there were proper credits to the authors of this arrangement on their own CD. I really enjoyed this, anyway, more than usual non-Irish performances of Irish music...

[bigbirdd]

wowowow

[TheSunsetPyro]

i love this song, i am in a chamber choir and i sing the male solo in the song, it sounds nice lol

[MissAshPYT]

This sounds pretty

[riosangre]

I fell in love with this song first time I heard it. My choir is singing it. I could sing this song for the rest of my life.

[todanceXtolive]

Ａｍｅｎ　ｔｏ　ｔｈａｔ．

[thekat67]

[teletubbie666]

awesome! i totally adore them <3

[smittyjred]

the last chord makes me melt

[lorgain2]

Go to lorgain2 for the original song, nothing like this.

[ShankYouWithASpork]

...never have nonsense syllables sounded so inspiring.

[Ianeka18]

Our audition choir at school did this song last year! Usually on here, when I mention them, its to say that we did it better...however, no matter how good it sounded when we did it, Rajaton just did it better! That was amazing!

[Tiffybears1o1]

omg this song is so beuftiful i was listening to it in class for the first song and it was so beautiful it actually bruoght me to tears

wow

[LoneLovelyWolfess]

its amazing they have no music, its just their voices

[auroramdr]

I love this song and this version is very good, but maybe someone should post the one in their cd out of bounds, it has cleaner sound

[myblueskeleton]

No one can compare to Rajaton.

They're wonderful.

I got pictures with Hannu, Jussi, Ahti and Essi =]

[SilverIlly]

LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

[dumbass130]
