When I saw this performed live...I broke down and cried. this song hit me so hard for whatever reason and im not even irish! I was born and raised in america....and yet this song stuck right to my heart. Pure magic....
@cbrme97...A bagpipe yes, but this isn't a bagpipe...the instrument is a Ullean Pipe, ullean translates to "elbow' which if you watch is how the "bag" is pumped up, instead of by mouth like a bagpipe...
@gaeilgeO1 Ohhh! ok I though it was some special type of bagpipe that you blow air into then push the air out with your elbow... i don't know much about pipes though! thanks for the clarification!!
I just love that song! The story of Ellis Island is incredible. If anyone does not have the "Songs from the Heart" CD, get it! IT'S TERRIFIC! Yes, it does have "O, America!" on it too!
@wessnyder117 I know. It should epecially be part of Irish-American history...but ANY American history could include it. ^_^ (In the sixties...a bit before my time, I've only read about it...someone put together a "history of Ireland through Irish music" for performances for schools. If they did one of those now, this song would probably be in it...and a few others that weren't around yet in the sixties. ^_^)
this is a great song and i am Irish , but i don't think you need to b Irish . it's the way these beautiful women sing it touches your soul..thank -you for posting this...
@pxxk6 Those are called uilleann pipes. They are considered the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland, as opposed to the bagpipes you are used to seeing, which are Scottish. "Uilleann" is the Irish word for "elbow," which is how they are inflated, instead of by blowing air into a bag. :-)
If they ever make a inspirational movie about the Wright Brothers, this would be an excellent background song for the lift off of Orville Wright for the first of four flights as the movie comes to an end.
@Cowpoker Look, when I saw them in concert, they did two songs live, one was the first one. you could hear Chloe breathe, and walk due to her boom mic. then it changed completely, it was like studio again. you can't run around and sing without noticing breathing. Just how it is. I love them. Lisa sux at lipsynch. I had a friend that worked on the crew and he said it's pre-recorded and they sing on top of it. I just like the organic live experience. about the breeding, then you wouldn't be here!
I will be so jealous of the guy who gets to wrap his arms around Chloe listen to her sing at home. Each of these phenomenal ladies is such a joy to listen to and watch.
@BeilinTheMagician: I think it's one of the two ladies on the right, and most likely the one on the far right. I know Chloe can sing low, but she's not doing it there. If you notice, the lady on the end tucks her head down... HTH
i saw them last year in april. My favorite song is this one and Níl Sé'n Lá And i meet the guy who played the bagpipes He said he thinks he scared the guys in the mens room with his kilt.
@primohomme Same here. Not Irish, born in America....but, I went to Ireland last year. Every time I listen to "Celtic Woman" music, I desperately want to go back.
@primohomme Three cheers. ^__^ (You don't have to be Irish to be Irish, as they say...plus it's also about immigration generally.) (Is anyone besides me imagining a whole bunch of children of various ages arriving at Ellis Island throughout the years? I realize Annie was fifteen so that's almost grown up...but still. ^_^)
@primohomme (continuation of my previous post) The Irish Tenors sang this on PBS years ago (I have it on tape) and the PBS pledge break lady (Trudy Fowler) said, if you phone in, please tell us if you are Irish, especially if you have an Irish last name so we can announce it on the air...and then she added, or if you're not Irish but your ancestors came through Ellis Island. ^__^ (Seems to me that if you're an immigrant yourself, that should count too...or even more so. ^__^)
@primohomme I know how you feel. I am from Sweden. I came to the US in 1981 (through Kennedy Airport). I remember it like yesterday still. The US is very special to me.
My maternal great grandmother probably felt the same way when she first came to this country in 1911, all the way from Hungary. She herself was only in her early teens at the time.
I think it is so lovely and befitting that they are now showing the orchestra, conductor, etc., as they all make it come together beautifully. OMG this is exquisite. Those voices, the instruments! OMG all over chills; how lovely. It gives me a lump in my throat along with a slight smile at the beauty of this song and the voices of the ladies singing those beautiful lyrics. It just does not get any better than this. They are always flawless - they could not be otherwise. Thank you.
the man who brougth all these beautiful women togeather with the voices of angels must of been inspired by the creator him self I surely wish they would all the women to get togeather for a reunion the voices of those women brings tears to my eyes every time I hear them
Just saw them last night (St. Patrick's) at Radio City. This song never leaves a dry eye in the house. Irish, Scot, Brit, Asian, Black or any other wonderful nationality who came through during the 51 years of Ellis Island can relate to the power behind this song.
I love this song, I've always loved the girls, but their choreographer should be fired! What is with that fake Les Mis step towards the end?! There would have been more power if they had just stood on one place and blasted the place to bits with their awesome voices. I'm not liking all the extra movement in this concert. It looks cheesy. The album is wonderful though.
I really wish CW could do some older Irish or maybe - oh Goddess! - maybe some Welsh or Scottish? Why is it always Ireland that people equate as Celtic?
This is one of my FAVORITE songs ever! I am of Irish decent and I think this song is beautiful! I wish I could find an instrumental track for this song so I could sing it. I just love those harmonies! I want to sing with them SOOOOO bad!
Interested in getting Celtic Womans "Lullaby" CD,it's available for a limited time from QVC. Go to the Celtic Woman website....celticwoman . com and click on the QVC link in the first paragraph...the cost is $13.56 USD plus shipping...
@TheCelticwoman2010...Those are Ullean Pipes.....Ullean means "elbow". Instead of having a mouthpiece to "blow" the bag up, there is a bellows that the player pumps by arm motion, and the bellows is at the elbow of his right arm, hence the name....
@TheCelticwoman2010 Its an Uillean or Irish Bagpipe. Harder to play than the Great Highland (Scottish) Bagpipe, but a sweeter tone and can be played indoors without overwhelming people. The guy who teaches me can even sing while playing!
@Georgehall11....Are you talking about the choir member? If you are then you are certainly right..and it's funny you should mention Lisa Kelly, because the "girl" in question is her sister Helen Kelly....she joine us as part of the Aontas Choral Group before the 2006 "A New Journey" performance. There are some that would like to see her as one of the soloists.....
@gaeilge101 Thanks for the info. I did do a further search and yes, we are talking about the same woman.
A thought occurred to me; Are their parents in some sort of Irish museum or hall of fame? Did they win some sort of offspring medal of honor? One I can understand, but two of that caliber, is just not right.
If I wasn`t a happily married man.............................
@Georgehall11....Hold on to your hat but there's other girls in the family too....Helen isn't Lisa's only sister.. and they are all "of that caliber" as you put it....
This is what I call a concert!!! most of the shows artists put on these days are nothing but a bunch of talentless hacks looking retarded on stage!!! This is what a concert is supposed to be like!!!
this is by far the best song that i have ever heard. i fell in love with it when i saw them in concert last february and love it more and more every time that i hear it. they have put their whole harts into this song.
Such beautiful music and ladies... It's so lovely to see *cultured* and *feminine* women in an industry full of some rather crass or shallow people - these songs really do come from their hearts and touch straight into ours!
Does anyone know who hits the low note at 5:36 when they say behind? I THINK it's Lisa or Alex, but I can't tell...
And I hate to intrude on a conversation, but does hip and cup sizes matter when these women are singing from the heart? They have voices like angels, and genuine beauty, and real fans of theirs see them with their eyes and their hearts, not just their eyes. Peace, Love, and Celtic Woman. <3
@Cowboylifesaver amen. America is still one of the best countries in the world, despite her many flaws. She has brought hope and peace to so many people.
My grandparents came to this country via Ellis Island. Brings a bit more reality to me from this song. Thanks to these women to bring clarity through the fog of history. I have more apppreciation to what my relatives had to face on their "new journey".
3 people are blind and deaf, cause they obviously can't hear or see the beauty these women put out. There's not a thing in the world that comes close to this, I hope they stay together forever.
This is definitely one of my favorites. I saw them perform and it was amazing. I think Chloe is so beautiful and I hope she stays with them for a long time.
Our newest member was just announced today, her name is Lisa Lambe, hailing from Dublin, is a renowned Irish actress and vocalist who has appeared in numerous title roles throughout Ireland, as well as Europe and the UK. From the age of three, she has shown a brilliant natural talent in both drama and singing, leading to a degree with distinction in performance from Trinity College Dublin, and making her one of the most sought after performers in the country.
You know, I love this band and all of the wonderful songs they sing, but I always feel a bit sad, because they (and their music) comes from such a rich and amazing culture and I dont share that heritage (its kinda selfish and stupid) But this song, though it is about people from places other than America, Made me love my heritage, because it symbolized what America was to the immigrants (and what America is to me) so well, a place of hope and dreams for the future, and where there is freedom~
@wyldefan3 The night before last I saw Celtic Woman in Albany, New York. Following Spanish Lady, while walking offstage, Chloë gave a wink. It wasn't the first time our eyes met. Still, the rush felt was a reminder of the original. It's powerful. Grateful I remained seated. That force would tumble this 6'3" frame. Would have found myself in the local police station. That could have lead to an ackward call home. "Hi, Mom. Chloë winked and then... That poor old man... He shouldn't have sat there!"
Some sad news to report....Lynn is leaving us effective immediately...If you want to see her message go to celticwoman . com and you can read it there....
What a beautiful rendition of a piece of American/Irish history given an incredible outing by these beautiful Irish girls. Thank you girls for the memory.
WRONG! I’ve seen these programs! Celtic Woman, Limited, actually puts these programs together and publishes them, and the same one is sold at each concert. Why else would they sell only ONE on their official store? First, the set-list is not in order; it is in alphabetical order, and in SFTH, some of the songs in the list weren’t in the tour! Second, they publish quotes, essays from the crew, bios, and pictures that venues could not possibly get their hands on!
@612Matthew....Geeeeez a 53 year old man argueing like a teenager....I will check out what you say. Since I have the inside track on this one...we'll see
@612Matthew...Ok you will on one count...Yes the "souvenir" programs are indeed put together by Celtic Woman LTD. This is done by a completely seperate part of the "company" and as far as I am concerned they are just as apt to put in unsubstanciated information as not... If you want to go by only "official" records then both of us are wrong....According to the Ellis Island records, Annie was NOT the first person through and she was 13 years old...Also there was another Annie Moore in 1892
@612Matthew....Also it's just a song, it wasn't written by anyone connected with Celtic Woman...the author is Brendan Graham and it's also been recorded by : Andy Cooney; Dolores Keane; Anthony Kearns and Ronan Tynan.
I think annie moore was 13 not 15 but I love this song and played it on my ipod as I visited ellis island in spring. It was really moving and truly amazing. So much history really hits you with a song like this.
@kmv1217...Ok to set it straight.....Annie Moore was 14 when she arrived at Ellis Island,on December 31, She was processed through on New Years Day, the day she turned 15.....She traveled with her 2 younger brothers, all three were reunited with their parents who were already living in New York City...
@gaeilge101 ok... geeze. The info I got was from ellis island's website and I said that I think she was 13 according to the site. I didnt say it was correct or fact. That is just the information I got. Im sorry if I offended you. I never meant for this to outrage anyone. It was just a simple comment.
@kmv1217...Hey no outrage here...I was just letting everyone know the truth...There is so much mis-information about Annie Moore floating around out there, that many people don't know what really happened to her....Sorry if I offended you....
@gaeilge101 I'm afraid I have more for you--Celtic Woman's Isle of Hope program said that she was actually 17, but told the people on the ship to America she was 15 so she could stay in the "family" section with her brothers. I think they said this info was only discovered four years ago. I'm not trying to cause widespread outrage or offend anyone, I'm just letting you know what Celtic Woman knows about the song.
@612Matthew....Don't know how you can say Celtic Woman knows this information since we don't have anything to do with the printing of the programs, they are printed by the venues and each is different....We only supply the lists of songs and the order they will be in to the venues...They then print the programs
@gaeilge101 I'm afraid I have more for you--Celtic Woman's Isle of Hope program said that she was actually 17, but told the people on the ship to America she was 15 so she could stay in the "family" section with her brothers. I think they said this info was only discovered four years ago. I'm not trying to cause widespread outrage or offend anyone, I'm just letting you know what Celtic Woman knows about the girl and about the song.
you can really tell that the ladies love this song. It shows in their performance. They absolutely love it and really communicate that to the audience. Incredible.
I have noticed that Lynn doesn't ever sing solo. (maybe she has and I don't know about it) In any case I would love to hear her voice in solo...it's hard to pick out individual voices when they sing together and their voiced blend so well that you can't hear the individual voices. So, does anyone know where (and if) I can find a video or audio clip of Lynn Hillary?

Such beautiful music and ladies... It's so lovely to see *cultured* and *feminine* women in an industry full of some rather crass or shallow people - these songs really do come from their hearts and touch straight into ours!

@OriginalRoozah - I think that Alex was the one who hit that low note.
Bitchtastic1915 1 year ago
Does anyone know who hits the low note at 5:36 when they say behind? I THINK it's Lisa or Alex, but I can't tell...
And I hate to intrude on a conversation, but does hip and cup sizes matter when these women are singing from the heart? They have voices like angels, and genuine beauty, and real fans of theirs see them with their eyes and their hearts, not just their eyes. Peace, Love, and Celtic Woman. <3

Hey Fartsy
To be clear, although Chloe is my favorite;
don't get me wrong. i wouldn't mind boinking any of the others either.
it's just that they lack a little "upstairs". nothing a push up bra couldn't fix. but in the end, i'm a top shelf guy :-)

My grandparents came to this country via Ellis Island. Brings a bit more reality to me from this song. Thanks to these women to bring clarity through the fog of history. I have more apppreciation to what my relatives had to face on their "new journey".

Our newest member was just announced today, her name is Lisa Lambe, hailing from Dublin, is a renowned Irish actress and vocalist who has appeared in numerous title roles throughout Ireland, as well as Europe and the UK. From the age of three, she has shown a brilliant natural talent in both drama and singing, leading to a degree with distinction in performance from Trinity College Dublin, and making her one of the most sought after performers in the country.
gaeilge101 1 year ago 2
You know, I love this band and all of the wonderful songs they sing, but I always feel a bit sad, because they (and their music) comes from such a rich and amazing culture and I dont share that heritage (its kinda selfish and stupid) But this song, though it is about people from places other than America, Made me love my heritage, because it symbolized what America was to the immigrants (and what America is to me) so well, a place of hope and dreams for the future, and where there is freedom~

@wyldefan3 The night before last I saw Celtic Woman in Albany, New York. Following Spanish Lady, while walking offstage, Chloë gave a wink. It wasn't the first time our eyes met. Still, the rush felt was a reminder of the original. It's powerful. Grateful I remained seated. That force would tumble this 6'3" frame. Would have found myself in the local police station. That could have lead to an ackward call home. "Hi, Mom. Chloë winked and then... That poor old man... He shouldn't have sat there!"

WRONG! I’ve seen these programs! Celtic Woman, Limited, actually puts these programs together and publishes them, and the same one is sold at each concert. Why else would they sell only ONE on their official store? First, the set-list is not in order; it is in alphabetical order, and in SFTH, some of the songs in the list weren’t in the tour! Second, they publish quotes, essays from the crew, bios, and pictures that venues could not possibly get their hands on!

@612Matthew....Geeeeez a 53 year old man argueing like a teenager....I will check out what you say. Since I have the inside track on this one...we'll see
gaeilge101 1 year ago
@612Matthew...Ok you will on one count...Yes the "souvenir" programs are indeed put together by Celtic Woman LTD. This is done by a completely seperate part of the "company" and as far as I am concerned they are just as apt to put in unsubstanciated information as not... If you want to go by only "official" records then both of us are wrong....According to the Ellis Island records, Annie was NOT the first person through and she was 13 years old...Also there was another Annie Moore in 1892
gaeilge101 1 year ago
@612Matthew....Also it's just a song, it wasn't written by anyone connected with Celtic Woman...the author is Brendan Graham and it's also been recorded by : Andy Cooney; Dolores Keane; Anthony Kearns and Ronan Tynan.
gaeilge101 1 year ago 2
I think annie moore was 13 not 15 but I love this song and played it on my ipod as I visited ellis island in spring. It was really moving and truly amazing. So much history really hits you with a song like this.
kmv1217 1 year ago
@kmv1217...Ok to set it straight.....Annie Moore was 14 when she arrived at Ellis Island,on December 31, She was processed through on New Years Day, the day she turned 15.....She traveled with her 2 younger brothers, all three were reunited with their parents who were already living in New York City...
gaeilge101 1 year ago
@gaeilge101 ok... geeze. The info I got was from ellis island's website and I said that I think she was 13 according to the site. I didnt say it was correct or fact. That is just the information I got. Im sorry if I offended you. I never meant for this to outrage anyone. It was just a simple comment.
kmv1217 1 year ago
@kmv1217...Hey no outrage here...I was just letting everyone know the truth...There is so much mis-information about Annie Moore floating around out there, that many people don't know what really happened to her....Sorry if I offended you....

@gaeilge101 I'm afraid I have more for you--Celtic Woman's Isle of Hope program said that she was actually 17, but told the people on the ship to America she was 15 so she could stay in the "family" section with her brothers. I think they said this info was only discovered four years ago. I'm not trying to cause widespread outrage or offend anyone, I'm just letting you know what Celtic Woman knows about the song.
612Matthew 1 year ago
@612Matthew....Don't know how you can say Celtic Woman knows this information since we don't have anything to do with the printing of the programs, they are printed by the venues and each is different....We only supply the lists of songs and the order they will be in to the venues...They then print the programs

Also, I think that "The New Ground" is much better than his other composition "The Call". Very Tasteful.
iluvperkushun 1 year ago
I have noticed that Lynn doesn't ever sing solo. (maybe she has and I don't know about it) In any case I would love to hear her voice in solo...it's hard to pick out individual voices when they sing together and their voiced blend so well that you can't hear the individual voices. So, does anyone know where (and if) I can find a video or audio clip of Lynn Hillary?
