  • Now if we could get the rest of America to feel this way we could bring this country back to what it once was. these Ladies feel it and they are from Irish what more is there to say

  • breathtaking!!!!

  • Breathtaking !  Nothing else to say!

  • It is difficult not to have any emotion through this. These women are fantastic, they have the passion...and the ability to draw tears...:)

  • It's "I Will Ever Answer Thee"

  • I have the hardest time watching this without wanting to break down into tears...I've always had pride in my nation. This song expresses it better than I ever could. Blessings to them for both the song and their wonderful voices in bringing it to life. God Bless America.

  • I love Lynn's gown it's so beautiful.

  • This is an awesome video.

  • I love this song the celtic women have such beautiful voices. God bless them.

  • which is the name of the singer at 3:00?

  • @bnj707 her name is alex. she not in cw anymore

  • Which one is alex sharpe?

  • I am in love with this song! I think of have listened to it at least 500 times!

  • How come it looks to me that they're singing, "You're weeping" but the lyrics state that it's, "No weeping". Does anyone know?

  • @Xmatters I think it actually is "You're weeping" because they are saying "you're" not "No". But other than that, I don't know.

  • @horsecrazy11 actually it is no weeping, not you're weeping. (i am in choir and our teacher licked this song 4 us 2 sing and she bought sum stuff and all tht so now we hav sheet music and we learned most of the words today... ) (:

  • @mckookookrazy You're right. Haha! I sang this song in my choir as well and I just forgot so I pulled out my lyrics and yes, it is no weeping. Lol :)

  • @mckookookrazy Try listening....it's "I will ever answer...".

  • @mckookookrazy Haha. It's just one of those songs where you're not sure. The end actually says "I will ever answer thee" you know, like forever? Lol. I still love this song. :)

  • i was born american and i hope to stay american i may visit other countries.. but i will never find anything as great as america we just need to open our eyes and see it...

  • i got cold chills and tears listening to this, it's absolutely beautiful! They are an amazing group!

  • wow

  • Tough as I am, this makes me cry. Thank you Celtic Woman.

  • These songs make me realize how much I love my adoptive country. I wasn't fortunate enough to be born here but I will gladly die for America if called to defend it.

  • I would like to thank these wonderful ladies for singing this song and for the lovely introduction. I can only hope that they and others of the world do not always judge us here in the US by our leaders.

  • This is the best song I think they ever recorded. So many people want to put us down. Its nice to know that someone out there likes us. I kinda think this is almost like God speaking to us.

  • I'm an atheist so I'm definitely not going to say "God Bless America" . However, I am wholeheartedly loyal to the United States, the nation that gives me an opportunity to have a better life. This is such a great and heartwarming performance from Celtic Woman.

    And I'm proud to be an immigrant to America.

  • @Theclowcard

    Even though I am a Christian, I can understand your point of view as well. And I wholeheartedly agree with you- America is a great country and I will never give up my United States citizenship for anything on earth. These women are truly talented.

  • I always did like the celt woman

  • The singing is good BUT America was great because of the GOD we use to honor.

    Now we love all gods and do whats right in our own eyes !!! GOD looks down upon us sees the most sinful nation on earth We will pay for this very soon SO take your pride to the garbage can and learn to be humble.

  • @TheProphetGary

    To my Christian brother,  Those words push people away from our faith. There is a way to witness and this isn't one of them. Why can't you just enjoy the song for what it is? A beautiful tribute to the greatest country on earth.

  • @TheProphetGary you are a idiot , if you dont like this place go somewhere else .this is the best place in the world and ALL peoples are jealious and wish to be here . so bugger off

  • amazing. oh, these ladies are amazing. and i agree, why do we not see how great our land is. i would not give up what we have for anything.

  • Great song! It;s so simple and beautiful.

    Thank You Centic Woman.

  • im so exited i get to go see them next month

  • Thank you Celtic Woman for keeping us, Ireland's children, in your keeping. You have been through so much yourself, should we ever have left you, our mother, to come to this land only to have our freedom pulled away from. We are hanging on for dear life now, please do remember us and who we want to be, strong like Ireland and the other Isles.

  • i love this song i have the cd and i want more songs form them i love all there song can't live with out it love love love love it

  • This song is so amazing, and so very much right on. These gals are very enjoyable to listen to. I wish people like FiddlersFun and isarya6249 would lighten up, they are the ones that are unable to look and listen to what a song is saying. Away with you two blowhearts.

  • Lovely, beautiful, and amazing. Love this video and music.

  • in awe of the combined talent - cant wait to see them in person

  • Simply outstanding!! This version is very close to what I got to hear in October of last year when they came to Sioux Falls, S.D. I think that it might be just a bit better than the one on the new "Songs from the Heart" DVD.

  • This is not a place for political criticism. By the way, great performance.

  • Great voice

  • I agree with isarya6249. Please stop defiling this video with all this junk.

  • It never ceases to amaze me that on youtube even videos like this that are meant to be uplifting and joyous have comments that are nothing but negativity and name calling.

    Everyone has a right to free speech but there are certain places where it is simply good taste to keep your comments to yourself. This video is one of them.

    Take your arguments somewhere else please, thank you.

  • You think that Bush is the mastermind behind america's financial fall? haha Where is your facts? All I have heard you people say is that it was his fault. Theres NO PROOF! Man you people are naive as hell. Obama is not helping OUR country. He is the face of terrorism. Hello wake up to reality. He hasn't done anything in office so far that benefits anybody. His health care bill is a sham. Don't believe me? go read the ENTIRE THING! He's not an american, he's an ass wipe muslim, theres a dif.

  • Everyone shut up and listen to the song. lol. Stop bitchin about Obama, Bush... yada yada, give it a rest, Just listen. Try to look for at the good in America, not just the bad. Beautiful song.

  • WolfArden should shut up and stop bitching about America

  • What a gorgeous song! I'm so proud to be an American.

    God Bless the USA!

  • I think we should adopt this tune as a co- national anthem. Very beautifully done.

  • no words are enough to describe the beauty of these women and their angelic voices...God Bless.

  • this is such a beautiful song!

  • Ohhhh, what a lovely tribute & honor the Celtic Woman lasses have given to my fine country and the fans therein! Thank you beautiful, splendid women of the United Kingdom...we love your pure & angelic voices...you are AWESOME! jilly

  • My celtic roots becon me, Thanks Erie for your voices ringing true and clear. We now must live like we deserve these kind words. I hope liberty is always welcome and defended by the Celtic peoples of Europe

  • Here is the problem , not EVERYONE that opens there mouths about the mistreatment of peoples in other lands either know or have been there. Unless you have boots on the ground you never know how the rest of the world is living. I agree far too many military juntas and dictatorships exist, however the prevailing wisdom is the U.S. shouldn't get involved. So you tell me the liberal/progressive ideology is either do something or stay the hell out...you can't have it both ways.

  • They are good but the original are better in my eyes but this preformance is still really good.

  • Why does it seem (to me atleast) that people from other countries appreciate American more than people who have lived here their entire lives? America is the greatest country in the world, and these ladies realise it. Now we just need the rest of the citizens to realise it.

    Obviously i'm generalizing, and not everyone fits into the above catageory.

  • Amen brother!

  • we are the one out of many!

  • because we idelaize the freedom of speech and allow every jackass with a tongue to be heard.

  • My friend, it's because they've seen what's on the outside. Moat of us never realize what we've got until its' gone. Right now, we're dangerously close to losing what 10 generations of brave souls have won for us. But, in the long run, this scare was exactly what we needed. The good guys are going to win. Trust me. 2010 is coming. We WILL fix this!

    Norm

  • generalization but you're right. I think a lot of people in other countries face oppression and lack of opportunities. people who are born and bred in america don't know what it's like to face oppression and live under dictatorships. so they don't appreciate it as much. we have to do better job of educating people about the world, bring back traditional values, stop media from lying to people.

  • the only ones who hate America are those who are jealous of America, or jealous of those who are more successful than they are

  • true but not the only reason. sometimes they hate our way of life. freedom of speech. and America gets in their way because we want to spread freedom to others while they want to oppress. but there are also people born/raised here who hate this country and want to change it because they don't like racial mixing. with technological advancements, the world will continue to get smaller and more racial mixing so they should just accept the fact and stop hating.

  • well I don't wanna spend too much time on this but not sure we're going down the drain with Obama. America is more than the Presidency. We need to keep faith in the principles this country was founded on. not sure we would be better off with McCain. give it time. yes around the world, races historically have mixed freely. that's where diversity at genetic level came from. so racism might be a modern concept started 400 years ago.

  • our country started going down the drain because of Obama. Obama is the one who is destroying America

  • oh, how conveniently similik101 neglects to mention that the Dummycrats taking control of Congress in 2006 has been the mastermind behind America's financial fall. Obama is only trying to destroy America.  Obamaniacs are so hypocritical and naive about the true islamoMarxist nature of Adolf Hussein Obama

  • similik101 cannot be taken seriously. smilik101 must be dismisse. similik101 keeps listening to ahmediniNutJob and other typical islamofacsists. similike101 knows nothing about America or anything else

  • sure. this from a person who is obviously gramatically challenged. learn to spell first and then maybe i'll take you seriously.

  • Learn to spell, what the hell are you talking about? If you are referring to the Dif. part that means difference. I only did that because the computer wouldn't let me continue. I'm the one who can't take YOU SERIOUSLY! You have presented NO evidence to speak of. Just a quick question are you a dumb ass high school student or a person who sits at home trying to join the obamanation club?

  • And you need to stop being hypocritical and naive about Bush's presidency. Obama hasn't taken it upon himself to pick up one damn piece of anything so what the hell are you talking about?

  • @truthforchrist - because humans take things for granted... :/ sad, but true! You're right though, most Americans don't realize how good we've got it!

  • Wow! 3:24 on is just phenominal!

  • I love Celtic Woman, Ive listened to them ever since it started and they are my favorite group no matter if there are new people in the group.. they are still great

  • Most amazing. I just made a pledge for he kOCE of CA for 150.00 I just love this show and am getting the DVD and CD. Can't get enough of them.

  • good for you. PBS really provides quality programming including Celtic woman better than primetime TV.

  • Just so you know, if you'd have waited you'd have gotten the cd & the dvd for a lot less. I made a pledge during their first televised concert in 2005 for $150.00 to get the cd & the dvd & a few months later I saw the Celtic Woman cd & the dvd in stores for $20 each.

  • The $150 wasn't the price of the DVD/CD combo. They were gifts for donating $150 to PBS, where this special airs. That's what "making a pledge" means. Had I the money, I'd make a pledge, too, and I wouldn't even want a reward for it. I love PBS.

  • Yes I know they were gifts, but the combo may as well have cost $150 considering that's how much you have to pledge to get both of them. Yeah I love PBS too.

  • I have been following them from the same special about 2 years ago but I admit I haven't benn keeping up within the last 9 months. I was probably about the same age when they formed

  • meaning Hayley, Orla, and Meav. If they had been on this song instead of the 2 new ladies this song would have been better - no offense to the 2 new ladies though , I guess I got used to the other 3

  • same!

  • what happened to the other main singers?

  • I don't think youtube should be allowed commercials until they make sure their videos load entirely.

  • I don't think Youtube should be allowed commercials at all. They're distracting & irritating & they belong on tv, not Youtube.

  • EMI makes money with the advertisements.

  • This song is an inspirational song for all America. These ladies are all exceptionally trained in renowned European music schools. Their talent is exceptional talent. It is much better to listen to than any other genre America has to offer.

  • See NWO Solution

  • I think it's wrong of the producers to pan away from the slightly heavier singer. She's very pretty and she's no less to look at than any of the others. It is sad that young girls can't see a very pretty young lady who is not the "ideal" shape. She needs to be shown, proudly, in their media. She needs to be presented as beautiful and desirable and no less than her peers. That's what young girls need to see, so that they may see themselves and not fret that they are not thin.

  • I don't think that they're panning away from her at all in the video.

  • Oh they dont pan away from her. She is the FACE of Celtic Woman! And one of the sexiest women on the planet. Her name is Chloe Agnew......

  • I think they show lynn to much and not enough of alex but thats just me.

  • I don't think they pan away from her at all. She is actually probably the most well known out of all of them and the most loved. I actually think she is focused on the most, partly because she is proof that you don't have to be extremely skinny to be beautiful and famous. Chloe is an amazing singer and an amazing girl.

  • no less... I would say better.

  • There have been a lot of rude comments about Chloe on other videos from narrow -minded, superficial people. I think Chloe has a beautiful voice. Her weight has nothing to do with how beautiful and talented she is.

  • I saw them perform this live last night. Politics never entered my mind. I was simply moved by the beauty of this song. I never expected that people from another country can sing about us in this way. It is a song of friendship and the American dream--a gift from friends. What is America? WE are America, all of us. Thank you for your gift to us!

  • what an amazing song. it is such an inspiration to all of us, and we should better support and take care of our land and people.

  • Incredible how other countries love America vs. how the liberals here seem to downgrade us and not appreciate what we are to the rest of the world. So many foreigners rushing to come here to love and enjoy our freedom and so many born here want to socialize us. God Bless America and all who truly love her!

  • you're right. everyone who live here legally should love America and not try to change her. too much freedom can be a bad thing. we have Neo-nazi and conspiracy theorists groups fighting the gov't. the media is getting away with too much. I wish we could have more honesty and accountability. but let's not spend too much time on this issue. Thank you again Celtic woman for this tribute.

  • they clearly have Irish accent. go check out their interviews.

  • yes, they are. i met both of them last night at a meet & greet in Ohio.

  • Yes, they are Irish. Alex just happens to be a practicing Mormon hehe

  • Pretty voices.

  • Brendan Graham wrote it.

  • i have served my country in its worst of times and alwaya will! i just wish more americans loved my country as i do!

  • itst okay to love your country all time but only ok to love your goverment when they deserve it, quote by mark twain,peace america

  • the scary thing about what you said is that a lot of people who don't love America tend to be born and raise in America. they abuse the freedom that Americans in the past fought for. they hate their own gov't. but I do agree with you.

  • Thank you

  • it is a beautiful piano piece but adding these ladies voices enhance it. perfect fit. anybody know who wrote it? was it David Downes?

  • The original piano piece of this was written by William Joseph... it is titled "a sweet remembrance of you"... he's a wonderful pianist :) look up some of his work!

  • It's such a shame that Meav and Orla left, but at least they were replaced by truley talented singers :)

  • so Orla did leave... sad to hear but great talent....

  • why'd she leave? :(

  • The other girls left to pursue solo careers.

  • GO USA!

  • Beautiful dresses and voices to match!

  • I heard them sing this when they came to Seattle. Just plain amazing!

  • i Cloe and Lisa and Maired but who are the other 2 girls?

  • The other two are the new members, Lynn (long hair) and Alex. Also amazing singers.

  • who else does that on stage? she twists her neck and shoulders. very expressive and cute. still has a childlike quality but maturity of an adult to get the job done.

  • oh my god i saw this exact show it was absolutely amazing!!! they are angels!

  • wait where was this filmed?

  • Manhattan NY. I think.

  • It could be Dallas because my friend went to the Dallas show and they had cameras there.

  • It was filmed at Grand Prairie, Texas.

  • I was at Grand Prairie....close to the front...they DID have the notices on the windows about filming..but there were no cameras there.....they must post that everywhere just in case.

  • Manhattan, read the information box.

  • um i think thats the name of the company that owns the record look at the full box. i may be wrong though

  • Comment removed

  • They Are Some of the Most Beautiful Women I have seen. Their Vices are Gifts from God. My They Continue Singing for as long as God Wishes for them to.

  • chloe is the most incredible singer i have ever heard. she has the voice of an angel

  • Where is Meav and Orla?!

  • Meav and Orlagh have both left to do their own thing. Meav left in fall of 2007 and Orlagh left last fall.

  • AWW MAN!

  • Thank you Celtic Woman! You are awesome! I miss you being in the U.S., but I am happy that you get some time at home. I'm excited about the new show you are recording. I can hardly wait to see it. Much Love.

  • Thank you, Ireland.

  • I have admired their outstanding performance throughout the years but by far this has been the best!

  • this is good!! ^_^!

  • where is Hayley?

  • Hayley was only with Celtic Woman for one tour.

  • She can't be with them no more cause she's with a different record company.

  • This is beuatiful. It would make great background music for a fireworks display and the U.S. Capital. Especially if sung live.

  • And O, America youre calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee, True to thee I will be.

    And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you to the sun: And I will stand by you do all that I can do, And we will beas one.

    O, America youre calling I will ever answer thee.

  • O, America youre calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee, True to thee I will be.

    O, America no weeping, Let me heal your wounded heart: I will keep you in my keeping, Till there be a new start.

    O, America I hear you, From your prairies to the sea, From your mountains grand, and all through this land, You are beautiful to me.

  • You wrote:

    "O, America no weeping"

    Actually it is:

    "O, America YOU'RE weeping"

  • during the concerts Lisa sang You're weeping. During the broadcast on GMA and the Today show she said No weeping (which were the original lyrics).

  • I think they're free to change a little of the lyrics. Chloe did it too with "true to thee"

  • When?

  • I'm really not sure exactly when. but I've seen all the videos and sometimes it sounds like she's changing it a bit. she might not, maybe it just sounds that way.

  • But dangmills didn't mention this though. He/she posted the words on this video so it should match this one. On the other video it should match accordingly.
