Clannad - White Fool

[63AIONSON]

Now this is just getting ethic but true, nothing will ever be the same again

[pamw101]

I cant believe I just found this thanks to steveperry(journey) on facebook. I love it and want to tell you how I appreciate your music. I also love the chance to hear Steve Perry any chance I get! Thank you!!!

[kvnmcart]

I've been searching for Irish music today and keep running into Steve Perry! He is a brilliant singer and Clannad is legendary. Love the chemistry.

[CatAnna]

What a beautiful collaboration. I love Clannad and Steve Perry proves yet again that he can sing anything brilliantly, even in Gaelic!

[Nunchucks67]

Thats bono in the background right?

[TheClannadChannel]

@3rosesred Because they can relate to them, the Irish were invaded by the English and they tried to kill the Irish race

[maninahole]

@TheClannadChannel Okay but don't hold a grudge for what my ancestors did. It was the crazy English Empire and it's thirst for riches. You still see it today... soldiers fighting wars not because they want to but because they're told to. Remember at this time England was harsh to it's own people too, you either had money or you didn't. The king was just power mad...

[chujwico]

@3rosesred Because we are living in one world? Because 'crime' means 'crime' everywhere???

[chujwico]

@3rosesred to be against white racists is not the same as be racist. And what you mean "their own people"? I'm white and "my own people" are Martin Luther King or Dalailama.

[journeyvail]

This is why i think people all over the world can relate to Steve Perry because his voice is so special.

[UnyieldingDefiance]

ugh the lyrics make me cringe so sickeningly liberal.

[tangotangoromeo]

@UnyieldingDefiance You are correct; many people do not realize that before white men got to what we now call the US, many native tribes were slaveholders. They were also anything BUT feminists as well; women did not have rights as we know them today. European Christians also put a stop to the human sacrifice that was going on here in the Americas long before the Europeans got here. Perhaps the members of Clannad don't know this, being Irish...

[bookkeeper57]

Great song made distinctive by Steve Perry's vocal; he pairs well with Moya.

He alternates the refrain with one of the Brennan brothers as the song closes.

[TCall2004]

Love the fact that one of my favorite singers, Steve Perry, is singing backing vocals.

Wonder a Portuguese-American from California hooked up with this Irish band?

[rainbowdragon131065]

Family. My native cousins

[deeperwaterz]

I started listening to them about 25 yrs ago I can`t believe it`s been so long.

[LeMaitre71]

It cut out too soon.

[LeMaitre71]

Evere since I found out about Clannad through ROS. I have been a big fan of there's ever since.

[bookkeeper57]

A teenage Enya at 2:47-2:50.

[Gawaine687]

and at 2:57-3:07, and sitting on the arm of the chair at 3:40.

[randomdave30]

Enya and Clannad are not friends.

[bookkeeper57]

I'll send you a video where Enya went home to Donegal and sang at a Christmas eve Mass with her sisters.

She was right up there alongside Moya.

Enya broke away from Clannad at Ryan's

behest; and he was once the group manager. Enya is said to have feuded with Moya and Ciaran over it. It's a little hard to argue with success. About now,

anyone who argued with Enya's solo career has had second thoughts about it.

[melodiousmajesty]

@bookkeeper57 could you please send me that, as well?

[dougwaters2]

Can anyone PLEASE post Croi Croga by Clannad with any visual component you'd care to include (or none)?

[bookkeeper57]

Great vocal by Moya Brennan and Steve Perry.

[mistifers]

Oooh Stevie you steal the show baby... sounds great.

[EireGoon]

Great song. Need I say more?

[moangel58]

Just love it, I am Irish and really love SP, he sounds great! Perry on!

[perryzgal]

I have this on a CD and it is just another display of how versatile or SP is!!!! He can sing ANYTHING and do it with PERFECTION!

Thanks for sharing! ;-)

[photossmile]

not bad but its nice to see that sp can sing this type of music as well with his back-up but i wonder if this is really his type of music that he could perform by himself.

[loveofmusic59]

Great song! Always love hearing Steve's voice. When was this recorded!

[beakys]

loveofmusic59 Thanks for passing this on! Never heard it before! I love anything that has Steve's voice in it.

[PERRYTheBestofJRNY]

Steve Perry is awesome and is the King.

[sierraluz]

I'm astonished at how versatile Steve Perry is. I really like Clannad's sound and Steve's contribution to it.

[Genniffer]

[lilysgarden]

Does anyone have the translation for the Gaelic from this song? I'd be very interested and appreciative. :)

Peace! Jules

Rothai an t'saoil ag casadh leo

Nil imeacht uaidh go deo

Daoine corr an t'saoil ag goid leo

Ni cuma leo go foill

(the wheels of the world keep on turning

It's inevitable

The corrupt people of this world keep on stealing

Yet, they don't care)

[StevePerryness]

Maire, Pol and Ciaran Brennan sang and played from an early age in their father's bar, Leo's Tavern. Soon they were accompanied by their uncles, Padraig and Noel Duggan, winning a talent contest in Letterkenny in 1970. Their first album, 'Clannad' was released in 1973. They were celebrated at home, and found an appreciative folk audience in Germany. The 1982 album , 'Fuaim', featured sister Enya.
