And to clarify to everyone: Celtic is NOT just Irish and/or Scottish. It's Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Breton, Galician, and English (yes, England's people are of primarily Celtic genetic background but have been Germanicised).

@LeoLeungFilming How about you stay in your own culture and race?

@odhinnsman9000 there was nothing sweet about the sea in the islands. Not in those times

I'm Asian , proud of it, but hearing Celtic or Gaelic music and there culture makes me want to be Scottish or Irish!

@noisybeetle the song is about a woman who fell in love with a boatman (fear a bhata in scottish gaelic) and now she is lamenting on how she will never see him again and how when she asks the other boatmen if they have seen him they call her foolish for ever falling in love with him, what isnt so widely known is that shortly after composing this song her and him married...

@frapssss De gustibus non est disputandum, i find the uplifting tone of the music lends to its emotional content, its like her lament is bitter sweet

@noisybeetle: the song's in Scots Gaelic, not Irish.
The one dislike is clearly English.
