A country with out a language is a country with out a soul we can't expect someone else to keep it alive use what ever Gaelic you have to your children at home and help preserve this ancient language for generations to come Go raibh maith agat
I'm starting to learn it. I may be an American with roots deep in the Appalachian soil, but my ancestors were Scottish. I will keep this beautiful language alive.
Cultivate it. I am Western Swedish, rural parts. The dialects here are dying, though they still live. För helvete, männisch, våkkne å bevar er kultur för faan. Den ä snart borte. I should add a translation: "Damn it, people, wake up and preserve your culture for fuck's sake. It is soon gone."
Look at you, with your "m"'s" being "v" or "f" and such. I love it, it's just so indecipherable. How do you pronounce "Luimneach". I was there, and I have to say it was hard to make sense of the locals. I loved the city though.
I am Indian, I have no connection to gaelic, Assassin's Creed Valhalla introduced me to Julie Fowlis and now am obsessed with nordic/gaelic music. Thank you for creating such amazing music.❤
I saw them live at a small venue a few years ago and it was one of the most magical experiences. They stayed after and met everyone and I couldn't believe how sweet snd humble they were. I was surprised at how short Julie is lol
I've listened to this song 30 times since Friday. My dog was a Golden Lab. She was Half Scottish. I played this song for her. She ended up passing away on Saturday. I miss her. This song reminds me of my dog. I have Scottish and Welsh heritage. I have Campbell and Wallace blood flowing through me.
peter forden I just read your subscriptions, Maggie Thatcher and the heroics of the Falklands war , Boris Johnson another popular english bigot. So I was right on both counts,you are insane,stupid and also desperate as your culture of hatred faces extinction forever.
I'm right there with you; many many branches of my family tree originate in western Scotland, and the Inner Hebrides (Buies from Jura, for instance) and her renditions of these songs in the language of my ancestors makes my heart float up in my chest.
I want to share something personal. I'm adopted, born in South Korea. I've never been back in Korea since I came out of my mother's womb, nor do I have any interest in it anymore. I have the best family in the world, and the first time I heard this song, I couldn't help thinking about both my adoptive mother and a beloved mother figure in my life, with Finnish roots. Now I live in Norway, I speak Norwegian and Finnish, as I found out this winter, that I have ancestry from Finland.. :) So, I imagine that someone or something really bought me home to my mother in a double sense..
I remember her performing this, bare feet. Purple lighting, a long dress and singing underneath a tent with heavy rainfall... And she was only 3meters in front of me. It was magical❤❤❤
My family descendants we transported in 1804 to Van Dieman’s Land from Scotland. The others came to Australia in the “Clearings” in 1840. These songs inexplicably pull at my heart. I’m almost a pure Celt with only one great great grandmother being an Anglo, the rest being Scottish and Welsh.
A billion,give or take a hundred thousand or so.I can't just listen to it once,it's usually necessary to listen to it two or three times before I move on...often to another of Julie's songs
She's out of this world, isn't she? She makes me feel like the language she uses and the harmonies she creates are both intimately mine. Even though I'm not from Scotland and have no celtic background whatsoever. This is pure art. I wonder how many Scots started learning Scottish Gaelic because of her. Cause I'm from thinking about starting to learn.
I'm french and I can't understand a single word but I deeply wish this language keep on living. Beauty sleeps in diversity ! Thank you for sharing these beautyfull songs with the world !
You've totally made the Autumn of my life. I was born by the Sea... and my ancestor Octavia was born on the ship from Scotland, and my old MacDonald... he did indeed have a farm....lol. And you remind me where to be born when the next Winter is over... my ancient home in Scotland. Lovely.
Dear Julie, there is something healing in this song. Something beyond our time. The language sounds as not being from this world. Sounds eternal. Thank You and all these gentle people beside You. Blessed be.
@Matthew LOL No, it's not the most beautiful thing. The world is much bigger than just Europe and is literally teeming with "beautiful things", if you're fortunate enough to be able to see past your arse. European culture is just one of a multitude of "beautiful" cultures.
@@quwaran.7264 Yes, there is beauty all over the world, but Europe is highly unique because its cities have no match in any other continent. There is a reason why France is the number one destination for tourists from all over the world. France has beautiful cities, towns, villages and landscapes, food and culture. Renowned throughout the world. The same can be said of Italy, which is a storehouse of art, architecture, food, and varied landscapes. Look at Switzerland, Austria, or Norway. Beautiful. There are no Paris look a likes in Asia. No Venices, no Florence, no Edinburgh, no Stockhoms. Their cities may contain buildings, temples or landmarks that are beautiful, but their cities are ugly, and collectively not pretty. Unless they're located in scenery like Hong Kong.

A beautiful and haunting song. Brings tears to the eyes. Such a song should be played in those rare times when you want to be alone in your thoughts, during those times when you remember something or someone has been lost to you who was close to your heart. This song will loose its beauty if heard on a regular basis. Listen to it with your eyes closed in the dark, it conjures up images un your mind. Something that Pink Floyd's music does as well. Music truly goes beyond cultures, languages and races.
Thanks a lot, Julie. As a french man I discovered your work on music and language with a deep pleasure... My own true language (occitan) survive also, generation after generations. What a beautiful miracle. an another is your voice. Thank you.

I went to see Julie in concert yesterday... She was as beautiful, as gracious, and as talented as she is here on RUclips. She did this song, even though the shruti box wouldn't co-operate.... What a sheer talent she truly is...
Scottish Gaelic is actually its own language! (Irish and Manx call themselves variants of the word "Gaelic", but I'm 99% sure both are considered their own languages, although where you draw the line between "dialect" and "language" is fuzzy)
Thank you for keeping me company in my pottery shop ..The flower pots are better with you in the air .I met Bruce Molskiy at a jam and the first thing I did was thank him for introducing me to your voice with the Blackest Crow ..Still one of my favorite reasons for going on YT ...It is magic when music comes of a place ..On the coments of your music the word home comes up a lot and I think for the right reasons .

Though I don't speak gaelic, I can feel tge pain and longing in her singing. Suxh a beautiful song and expressive voice. Greetings from Indonesia #irishinside
I have been privileged to meet and talk with this precious lady; ... and although I do not understand Scots Gaelic completely, ... it still resonates with my (Mum's side) Scots blood !!
I would argue thos girl has 1 of the best voices on earth. When she sings in assassin's Creed I was lost for a minute lol. Haunting . And she's just as pretty as she sounds 😏
I reel like it's not understood by many the importance of keeping the Gaelic language alive. I fear a time when the chilling but yet still warm vibe of this sound and soothingness of it will be forgotten, musically, linguistically, and that will be a true tragedy.
I saw a peaceful picture of the ocean on Twitter, looked at your profile, went to your website and found this absolute gem! Love this music. It'll be in my head and heart next time I'm paddling peacefully in my canoe.
There are wonderful singers and then there are the ones who are the exceptional treasures. Julie's singing voice is a joy to lose all of our senses within. 💕
Bear McCreary who scores the hit TV show Outlander should look into working with Julie. It's such an wonderfully authentic heart-felt show, and I think her voice would compliment it beautifully.
I always feel that if I just listen a little closer I will be able to understand her. So beautiful, and the old instruments are incredible. More please.
This set of Gaelic balards has me deep in thought, For our woman folk, Our mother's, - Wives, Sister's and Daughters. Be kind to them, Show them respect. Love them all. Na Cropy boy. Over.
thanks so much dear Julie. Your voice is the voice of the wind, the voice of the sky and of the universe, the voice of the true life....inside everything. God bless you and your musicians. Thanks.
Chanson magnifique découverte par hasard. Julie a une voix magnifique. Ses musiciens sont aussi très talentueux. J'adore cette chanson et tous ceux à qui je l'ai fait entendre adorent. Salutations du Québec.
If you really want to do that (and I would encourage you with all my heart), this is the to-go-to place: www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/en/ . It is a campus of the University of the Highlands and Islands in a wonderfully out-of-the-world spot on the beautiful Isle of Skye. I was there last year to take my first two courses, they're always running end-to-end during 2 weeks of the college holidays. You can take a first sniff at Gaelic (I'd always advise to take levels 1 and 2 in succession), if you like it come back next year for the next 2 levels - that's what I'm planning to do. They have excellent teachers, the student community is great, and there's lots of overwhelmingly beautiful music. Even Julie herself is said to make an appearance there occasionally!
Julies voice is so special; she has the ability to change tone and delivery for any particular song. This song, accompanied by wonderful musicians, brings deep emotion out from me. I hope I can get to see her live before my life is through. Iain
Beautiful performance! To hear this beautiful traditional piece sung in Gaelic is truly a treat! The vocals are the epitome of this genre and the instrumentation and musical arrangement complimented the voice impeccably! The subtle instrumental movements added color and texture as the harmonium drone provided depth. As a Celtic Multi-Instrumentalist myself, I certainly appreciate each of your "gifts", passion, and artistry! Thank You for sharing! Subscribed!
It's a girl pleading with a magical water horse who stole her away (as a bride, I think - there's another song Julie sings about a water horse whose human lover has left him with a son he can't take care of, which I've always assumed is a sequel to this one) to return her to her family, and she's saying that she doesn't want anything he might offer, just to go home as he found her.
Three or so of the Gaelic folk songs I've heard here- absolutely beautiful- were in Scotland, before A.D. or even before that old Pisces aeon began; this one was in Isle of Mann as early, came to Scotland later. At that time, those of Mann thought of themselves as being of Caillyech; would say Caillyech Goeff Broghech... Caillyech and Scotia, Mahadevis, have been special friends of the Scottish; the patron or friend deity of Scotland is Qore...
Julie has concluded, as always, something intriguing to sensitive, kind souls. Mine breaks out there, into those bays wet with waves, into the paneled fields of boulders, into the northern sea depths. It is a song full of hope that connects youth and maturity. My love is there. ❤

proof that art lies not in overpowering sound, but in quiet empathy/sympathy with the heart and mind.
Another Carpenter that’s poetry
Or both, and more. :)
Art lies in everything we do. Art is a perspective of one's vision of the world. Imho
Art is what moves you. Anything that moves you is art. This moves me.
That was a lovely compliment to a singer that is a unique gift to folk that need a wee bit os soothing for an aching heart!

The subtle instrumental movements added color and texture as the harmonium drone provided depth. As a Celtic Multi-Instrumentalist myself, I certainly appreciate each of your "gifts", passion, and artistry! Thank You for sharing! Subscribed!
Just amazing. Nothing else is needed to be said ❤️
Have no clue what she sings about yet it feels liberating, such an angelic voice perfect pitch
It's a girl pleading with a magical water horse who stole her away (as a bride, I think - there's another song Julie sings about a water horse whose human lover has left him with a son he can't take care of, which I've always assumed is a sequel to this one) to return her to her family, and she's saying that she doesn't want anything he might offer, just to go home as he found her.
I have been listening to this while I'm at work. So beautiful!
Three or so of the Gaelic folk songs I've heard here- absolutely beautiful- were in Scotland, before A.D. or even before that old Pisces aeon began; this one was in Isle of Mann as early, came to Scotland later. At that time, those of Mann thought of themselves as being of Caillyech; would say Caillyech Goeff Broghech... Caillyech and Scotia, Mahadevis, have been special friends of the Scottish; the patron or friend deity of Scotland is Qore...
Julie has concluded, as always, something intriguing to sensitive, kind souls. Mine breaks out there, into those bays wet with waves, into the paneled fields of boulders, into the northern sea depths. It is a song full of hope that connects youth and maturity. My love is there. ❤
Hey guys greetings from Türkiye! Special melody, special music.😊
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you very much Julie.
I keep forcing my family to listen to this since I'm entirely in love with Julie
So schön! Wunderbar!
