Whoever hasn't seen the original rendition (first Celtic Thunder show), missed a truly remarkable peformance by this lovely lad. It was so touching, young girls crying in the audience, very touching. Keith is remakable.
I know what he's singing about all too well. I lost both of my parents in the fighting in the North. We were from Scotland, but my parents wanted to help
the Irish kick the Brits. out and back to their own island. I was sent to the US
by family friends when I was 13. That was 53 years ago. Don't know if it's
@MaggieKSullivan That's true. It was the Celts who settled Scotland (then Caledonia) and fought against the Roman Empire to keep them out. Formed Hadrian's Wall and all that to keep out the Celts.
I love this song. It's so beautiful, and Keith singing it just makes me love it more! This song made me cry the first time I heard it, and sometimes I still feel like I'm going to cry. I love that you can hear his accent when he sings too. Usually, you can't hear them when people sing. His voice is so amazing... everything about him is amazing!!!
uh hes just chillin singing while theyre working? How the heck are they sitting there and not tossing themselves at him!??!! they have more self control than I could have around him.
I love coming back to these pledge drive videos and seeing the lads as they were when they were just starting out with the group. I am always amazed at how genuinely down to earth they all are taking into consideration how much talent each one of them has.
....omg, anyone else feel like he is always singing directly to you.....i completely guilty... completely hopeless!! Keith is so incredibly talented!!! :D
This lad knows what he wants and he wants to be a singer and songwriter, I believe he's 21 when this was made and just beginning his career, which will take him far! He'd been singing all his life, and I just wish I had been in Boston when this was happening and knew about Celtic Thunder then!!!! Very professional at 21 I'd say! Go Keith!
I agree that this is full on proof that they don't lip synch. The version on the CD sounds way different, it's still the same song, but there are subtle differences in pitch, tempo, and delivery that prove that he is really singing, and doing a mighty fine job of it I might add. He has gottne better/ more confident since this too, all of them have. I am so proud to be a thunderhead!
Even though its a sad song and i get every part of it i stilled smiled and slightly laughed when he had a serius face when the mic squeked at the end lol
This may be an odd observation,,,but Keith reminds me of Ben Orr, of the Cars. Does
anyone else see the "sorta" look? I just loved Ben Orr, and was heartbroken when he
died so young.
