  • If this doesn't move you, you simply have no soul.

    Mara isn't Runrig's best album overall, but it's worth buying for this magnificent track and Meadhan Oidhcre Air An Acairseid.

    As an English speaker, I find Runrig's Gaelic songs to be quite wonderful. They have inspired me to learn Gaelic!

  • @tonythekingfisher I'd quite agree. Mara isn't the strongest of Runrig's album but Thairis and Meadhan Oidhche Air An Acairseid are good.

    Have to say that Searchlight is my favourite with The Big Wheel a close second!

    's math sin!

  • Audio I'm afraid. Unfortunately it is off of iTunes and won't let me upload due to protection (unless soneone knows how?)

    It is the live version they did in Glasgow 1996.

  • Currently uploading...not put the lyrics on however. Will link to it asap.

  • By far the most beautiful voice i have ever heard, i would love to see/hear this live! are there any recordings anyone could put up?

  • I have a live version

  • @tonythekingfisher where or how did you learn gaelic? i'm german and it's very difficult to find someone to teach me...i love this language, but most people in germany don't even know gaelic is existing. so i've been trying to teach myself, but especially the pronunciation is very hard to learn. got any insider tips for me?

  • @tonythekingfisher "Midnight On The Anchorage" isn't on youtube at present. Can anyone remedy that? Thanks

  • great to hear this again

  • Just Beautiful love Donnies voice

  • Go h-alainn.

    Is Eireannach mise.

  • im gonna see runrig on friday, makes me sad that there is less gaelic now that donnie is gone

  • I can understand most of the song cos I speak Irish Gaelic which is so similar as equally as beautiful! :D Runrig go brách!

  • I love this song ... gonna sing it a capella on a pagan wedding this weekend :-)

  • i don't know how to describe the emotions this song raises within me... cianalas? donnie's voice is out of this world, and the subtle beauty of the backup vocals makes my heart ache.

  • hmmmmm ist das schön ....
