the most touching point of this song for me is when it reaches the 2:16 point and you get that one shot of the girl crying. A fabulous singer is only as good as the emotion that is invoked while he's singing...great job Keith!!
One of the most romantic heartfelt songs every sung... and having a cutie patootie like Keith singing it doesn't hurt either! Seeing them live is a must... magical!!
The Island was written and recorded by Paul Brady. He is one of Ireland's most famous singer/songwriters. His work is fantastic! However, I think Keith's interpretation of this song is by far the best I've heard.
I am so sad that I was not able to get time off work for your concert in San Francisco in October last year. Could you try and do a Wednesday or Friday night next time since there are a lot of bartenders that would have loved to see the show but just could not go. I know that is a lot to ask
This is the best performance of this song that I've ever heard, and several artist have sung it over the last 20-plus years. Keith's voice is perfect for this lovely tune. Very moving.
i am obsessed with this man and i am making it my life long goal to marry him. lol. just kidding, but i would LOVE to meet him. he is so fine. lol. :)
alright. i have to admit, about half way through the song i started tearing up. this song is beautiful(not to mention keith is lookin rather fine as well ;] ) this is the first time i'm hearing it and i know this song is gonna grow on me for the next couple days...
I have been to 2 our their live concerts and # 3 is coming up in November.
Celtic Woman is next on my list, they too are a fine group. Been to 2 of their live concerts also. If you get a chance to see either of them live, just do it you will not be sorry.
this was the very first CT song i heard... and it made me fall in love with me keithers!! hehe oh la' la' it never looses its touch! still gives me chills! i mean how could you not love him!?? woowoo proud member of the KHFF! any questions what that is just ask! its for all keith fans!
I was coming down the stairs to get something to drink when I saw my mom watching some music entertainment thing. I asked her what it was (while the lady tried selling stuff) and she said "It's some group called celtic thunder. they're really good so far! come watch!" and then after she said that I sat down and then he came on. Singing this exact same song. He was the very first one I saw singing from CT and now he's been my favorite singer for about 3 years now. It's my dream to meet him lol
I discovered this group a few days ago. Fell in love immediatly. It would be lying to say I don't admire this particular singer. Keith it is ? He is by far my favorite ! The clear voice, the emotion in the song, all of it makes him different than the 5 others. He could take me to the Island any time.
The first time I heard this song I cried and fell in love with him and all of the boys. In april my mom got me tickets to go see them in concert. And live it was better. They are truly a remarkable bunch. And I am so glad my dad recorded their show about a year ago on PBS.
i didnt even know who sung it, but it made me cry so much i listened to it at least 5 times. i couldnt stop crying but i ended up falling asleep listing to his voice cuz the song was on repeat. =]
Hey here's an interesting thing: the girl at 2:16 is Rebecca Harkin, Keith's sister. You should check some of her songs out on myspace....she's got a nice voice.
the most touching point of this song for me is when it reaches the 2:16 point and you get that one shot of the girl crying. A fabulous singer is only as good as the emotion that is invoked while he's singing...great job Keith!!
