I had no idea that this song goes back at least 300 years. That goes to show, doesn't it? Humans may be fleeting, but art is immortal. Long live Celtic Woman!
The lyrics of the verses of that song go back 10 years. Brendan Graham wrote them for CW. The original song of which only the chorous survives in the CW song goes back to 1972. But the original 1972 song was constructed from verses taken from poems written in the early to mid 18th century. The history and explanation of the song with the original is available as a comment here. ruclips.net/video/vZk4dMkEup8/видео.html
Each member of this particular line-up evokes a certain metaphor for me: - Susan: Mother Nature at her gentlest. - Éabha: THE Celtic queen. - Mairéad: The Lady of the Lake. - Tara: The embodiment of the seasons. Terrific.
love this, if i can add something Susan is Spring with the kind gentleness she evokes Tara is Summer with her jovial yet passionate disposition Éabha is Autumn with the cozy warmth of her voice, and Mairéad is Winter with her piercing, icy tone
1:55 "So come my love! To battle come!" Eabha's beautiful voice while raising her arms is so powerful and inspiring. I feel like I should actually be going to battle for her.
@@johnthomas2485 Darn right. Brian Boruma is my Grandad many times over. Go the fighting O'Brien's. What an honour. No pressure. Eabha, Mariad, stop this nonsense and come back. The world needs you. Dx
Daniel Blight That lineup did the original touring but on the DVD with this lineup in 2009 they did a Finale version. The original lineup did it and filmed it in 2006.
@@daniellovesdisney5730 I'm late but I just found this. I refer the finale version to this one. Mairead on the violin playing as the other girls come down between the 2 lines of the chorus.
I love the dresses in this performance. I love how they're all different styles and shades but they compliment each other at the same time. I also love how the dresses seem to reflect the singers singing styles and personality. I just love everything about these women and all the work that goes into making each performance breathtaking.
Celtic Women past & present bring to mind the best of divine feminine energy in sight and sound. Thank you for uplifting me every time I listen to your wonderful song.
I left home over 50 years ago but when I listen to this music I well up and think of the old country I left behind. Although I have made my home in England I still love Ireland with a passion.
To eabha close my eyes and just listen to this beautiful voice, unfortunately I don't understand everything because my English was decades ago. But this soft, melodic voice ... No matter what happened during the day. Listening is very good. I wish you all the best and all the best. Thank you. Greetings from Germany. G. R.
Beautiful in every way! Bravo to everyone involved - the singers, musicians, producers, editors, set crew, costume and makeup crew, camera people, and the support staff! I've just added it to my RUclips playlist, "Celtic Woman favorites - best songs - David B mix." My great grandfather and great grandmother came from Ireland in the mid-1800s - I'm proud to be of Irish descent, especially when Celtic Woman comes to visit America!
I do miss the old arrangement. That said, this new version still feels so much like Celtic Woman and brings a more bright and inspiring sound to it. I absolutely love it!
No words to describe your songs and music♥️♥️♥️♥️ mesmerized and feel so happy n glad when I hear your songs......if I get a chance to attend your concerts really my life will get completed such a lovely voices n lovely people😍 congratulations to every single person who gave such a stupendous concerts🥰😘😍🙏🙏🙏
I can't say I like everything they do, but this arrangement is epic. The original is slow and sad, this makes me feel like im riding into battle. Skills.

Very nice version of this "Celtic Woman classic". It is arguable which version is better, this, or the version sung by the original group ( 5 including Hayley), for the "A New Journey concert. Personally I can't decide between the 2. BOTH are fantastic and just go to show how many wonderfully talented singers the Emerald Isle has to share with the world!!!!

Ok now that Susan has announced that she is leaving for her baby, I notice a similarity in her performance in tis video similar to one in the last special Lisa Kelly was in. Back then Lisa knew it was her last one so it looked like she gave it even more than her all like 120%, and seeing this it looks like Susan was doing the same like she knew for a while that this was to be her last DVD shoot.
@@daniellovesdisney5730 I have to agree with you. I think the reason why she gave her all in this DVD was most likely because it had been so many years since they last performed in Ireland, let alone filmed a special there (the previous to be filmed in Ireland was Home for Christmas in 2012). Obviously she would have given her all as she was performing in her home country again after such a long time.
Wow if my village sang that for me I’d certainly be ready for battle, I can see why it was romanticized - that would stir any soldier to make his way back home
All 4 of the ladies are gorgeous, but I agree that there is something special about Eabha- a very finely constructed Irish lass with a dark, sensuous voice.

Glad you enjoyed it. Irish person
Great to hear that.

Terrific.

Susan is Spring with the kind gentleness she evokes
Tara is Summer with her jovial yet passionate disposition
Éabha is Autumn with the cozy warmth of her voice, and
Mairéad is Winter with her piercing, icy tone

1:55 "So come my love! To battle come!" Eabha's beautiful voice while raising her arms is so powerful and inspiring. I feel like I should actually be going to battle for her.

I would fight for her
Where's that sword, I'm a-comin'!

Fascinating isn't it...!!
The hardest part I find of watching Celtic Woman on tv is either choosing a favorite dress or favorite song
Best dress Tara has ever had.
Who doesn’t like beautiful women with beautiful singing voices making beautiful music?

Éabha just makes my pulse go haywire - what a voice.. and by the gods, what a face!
Awesome violinist! Amazing voices! Always touched my heart with your voices, songs, and performances. Bravo!
One of my favorite CW songs! The girls put their heart and soul into this performance!
I saw them in concert when they were in my hometown of London Ontario in 2018 with my mom, best night of my life

This song fills me with so much happiness. Absolutely beautiful.
Great song, I saw the original group many years ago performed it, I still consider it the best version
I love these gals, they move my soul.
This is just insanely awesome. It gives me such energy. I’m living for the part from 2:25 to the big finish. Goosebumps every time.
I never tire of their music. What an amazing group of people
I love the almost battle theme sound that this version of the song has! Eabha's line at 1:55 is just epic!
Sung ever so beautifully by equally beautiful women
I love how that girl in the audience is so into the music. I'm a metal-head, but I love me some Celtic Woman.
If the original fiddler was like fairy, then tara is like a redhair warrior.
Stunning. Brilliant.

Anyone agree that Celtic Women and Celtic Thunder should partner up for one concert or one tour?
I think that would be a good idea. Just imagine that.
I'd like to see that
As long as they came to my state in the u.s. and the tickets were affordable for me!!! I would love that concert

She was more serious this time around, instead of smiling the whole time. She was in complete control.
If you look carefully, you'll notice Susan either wasn't wearing her left in-ear or was wearing it slightly loose throughout the entire show.
