Listening to this makes me homesick for a place I've never been and a time I never existed.
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.❤
Native American or Hindu?
anyone else back here for like the millionth time??
Try the billionth time haha.
A billion plus 1
yep. watched it a bunch a couple of years ago and am back now for a few more spins after hearing her on Eli West's album.
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 am teaching my boyfriend as much Gaelic as i can cuz it is my mothers culture
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."
Martin O Dochartaigh is maith liom gaelige
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 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 ancestors spoke Gaelic. And while I do not understand the words, the music speaks to me with more power than I could ever understand.
Amen brother
Same here
Ed. Same. It's handed down through the genes...or.....something! lol
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.
There used to be a description of what this song is about...a lovely legend !
I went to one of her concerts when I was four of five and I can remember her saying how much she loved my red shoes after the concert had finished 😌☺️
There always seems to be a depth and kindness that flows through her music...
Red shoes are the best, im unsure if this is a scottish thing but...always wonderful.
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
Lucky you. God bless.
So sweet.
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.
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.
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.
I played this song for my dog the night before she passed away. I miss her so much and this song makes me cry.
I'm so sorry 😞 *hugs*
Julie Fowlis; Not enough words to thank you. Your music is keeping our Celtic culture alive. Please continue
Thank you for doing so much to keep Gaelic-language songs alive in a world that largely doesn't even know that the language exists!
Bidh na faclan sin beò gu bràth, nì na Gods e mar sin
When I hear it, I listen...raptly.
A LANGUAGE OF RACISTS AND OPRESSORS
peter forden lmao, you are obviously insane, or just very stupid.
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 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..
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!
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 !
French ?
Julius caesar:--->galliae, keltae 🙂
Being an Indian I'm proud to see the Harmonium Instrument ...
After all it is a European instrument
European culture is the most beautiful thing in this world. We must promote and protect these treasures forever.
European culture isnt just one thing. All cultures have beauty which should be preserved.
Gross
@@hallucinatingsiren troll
@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. Most Asian, African, cities are simply not pleasing to look at.
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.
My ancestors were Lindsay's from Scotland. I wish I could have learned the ancient Gaelic tongue.
It took me 2 years to find this again. It made me weep again within seconds.
This song shakes me to the core... American born, Irish, Scott, Brit and Italian
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.
What a beautiful comment, 💕
Julie's music inspired me to take Scottish Gaelic lessons, to learn the language of my grandparents who came from Banffshire. Leis an deagh dhùrachd!
This group of artist should have world wide recognition. I don't know the language but it speaks to my soul. This speak to the soul.
A Gaelic goddess that can speak to my soul.
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
Gaelic music and Gaelic language is as beautiful as where it's from and the people.
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.
This may be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
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.
Túatha de Danann
A beloved Celtic Queen. Much respect to you and the husband.
I dont know why but i feel so connected to life and the earth when listening to Gaelic music
I as always stand in awe of your music, Julie. Thank you for existing! Much love from Ukraine
Hi Ukraine Keep up the faith tell me what you need . I’m in USA but originally from the islands of South Uist Gaelic is my native language Let me know what I can do to help.Penelope
@@penelopecallahan301 any luck helping casper ukraine?
this song put my part-Celtic infant daughter right to sleep
Got to see her perform this song live in Franklin Tennessee in 2023. What a privilege. She is absolutely wonderful.
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...
This is Celtic music the way it should be done.
Fortunately, there is not only one way to play correctly Irish or Scottish music.
But this one is good, there is no doubt about it ...
Essa mulher é maravilhosa! Alba gu bragh! Is toil leam òran seo. Love from Brazil tae Scotland! 🇧🇷♥️🏴
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.
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.
As do my wife and I
I have family that came from County Mayo during the great potato famine on a coffin ship, wish any part of that language/culture had been retained.
We can hear the wind through the branches in this song. It's wide, vast, opened to mysterious and unexplored landscapes.
well said Frank!
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 . The world needs honest music informed by the land it comes from ...Very powerful stuff ..Very good healthy food for the soul..Thanks again , Guy in New England
My great grandfather wrote and sung Gaelic song in the West Highlands of Scotland. His name was Ssndy Murdie.
Lovely. Take it no recordings of him anywhere?
P.s he wasn't from sutherland by any chance? 😜
@@jameshamilton7562 his mother was from Tongue. She didn’t speak any English just Gaelic. There are some recordings of his singing. He was celebrated with an arts instillation in Ullapool not long ago. It can be found on line. Young musicians played some songs along with photos of his life along with some commentaries from his grandchildren as well. It was really lovely. His voice can be heard taken in an interview during the 1959’s. He spoke of his life as a shepherd and sheep drover. His recordings are held at the University of Edinburg.

Very beautifool From Russia с любовью.
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.
La voz de Julie es celestial y la música, pura magia celta. Bravo hermanos celtas 💪👏👏👏
You are a World Heritage treasure Julie!
I could listen to this beautiful voice singing Gaelic all day
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi;
A ghràidh, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi;
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi -
An tòir chrodh-laoigh a thàine mi.
Gur ann a-raoir a chuala mi
Mo ghaol a bhith ri buachailleachd,
’S ged fhuair thu ’n iomall na buaile mi,
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi.
’S mi dìreadh ris na gàrraidhean,
’S a’ teàrnadh ris na fàirichean,
Gun d’ thachair fleasgach bàigheil rium,
’S cha d’ dh’ fheuch e bonn ga chàirdeis rium.
Ged bheireadh tu crodh agus caoraich dhomh,
Ged bheireadh tu eachaibh air thaodaibh dhomh,
Ged bheireadh tu sin agus daoine dhomh,
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi.
Trodaidh m’ athair ’s mo mhàthair riut,
Trodaidh mo chinneadh ’s mo chàirdean riut,
Ach marbhaidh mo thriùir bhràithrean thu
Mura tèid mi dhachaigh mar thàine mi.
Gheall mo mhàthair gùn thoirt dhomh,
Gheall i ribean a b’ ùire dhomh,
Is gheall i breacan ùr thoirt dhomh
Ma thèid mi dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi.
Is there a phonetic transliteration of this for those of us not fortunate enough to know Scottish Gaelic?
Thank you
Thank you
It's nice to read the Gaelic as she sings it.
Thank you, although I'm a Southerner from Georgia USA, I'm intrigued with your Gaelic language. Maybe it is hereditary, as I have no idea of my ancestors origins. Possibly Welsh , but no records.
Thank you very much for the lyrics! Much appreciated.
This music really takes me to any scottish place,the Highlands,to be precise and relaxes me so much!!Long Live the Gaelic dialect!!
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)
Excellente chanteuse grâce au excellent musiciens... comme d'habitude...
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
Sorta unties all the knots...Gaelic music uniquely powerful and healing. To Julie and her trusty three - that was absolutely magical.
Wow. She is stunning in every way. And that harmonium is haunting.
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 !!
Wow this song has such soul. I have no idea what she’s saying but Gaelic is a beautiful Language
Opino lo mismo.
It's hard to believe people can make something so perfect and so beautiful... Thank you
I keep forcing my family to listen to this since I'm entirely in love with Julie
The sound of that fiddle is bringing tears to my eyes.So sweet.
This. I’ve been trying to find this video all night, and I’ve been thinking about it all day.
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.
I'm a quarter Scots with deep ancestral roots in north-eastern and south-western Scotland. This speaks to my heart and soul. It's more than lovely. ❤
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!
I have been studying scottish for a few months now, and listening to julie is a great way to expand on proper pronunciation of the language.
From New Zealand... I am trembling with the power you project... How beautiful this song is and the arrangement is spectacular... Thank you...
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. 💕
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.
My conscious mind did not understand a word, but my soul is weeping.
..another beautiful, empathetic song by Julie...i love listening to her...greetings from Austria...!!!
Wow, just wow.
I love this song and Julie's voice.
Regards from Yorkshire
Such a beautiful voice. I wish I could understand the words, still it touches the soul. Lovely. Blessed be.
How is it fair that she is so talented and so beautiful at the same time?
LYRICS
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi;
A ghràidh, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi;
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh gum mhàthair mi -
An tòir chrodh-laoigh a thàine mi.
Love, let me home to my mother
Darling, let me home to my mother
Love, let me home to my mother
I only came for the cattle.
Gur ann a-raoir a chuala mi
Mo ghaol a bhith ri buachailleachd,
'S ged fhuair thu 'n iomall na buaile mi,
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi.
It was only last night
That I heard that my love was herding
And though you found me at the perimeter of the cattle fold
Love, let me home as you found me.
'S mi dìreadh ris na gàrraidhean,
'S a' teàrnadh ris na fàirichean,
Gun d' thachair fleasgach bàigheil rium,
'S cha d' dh' fheuch e bonn ga chàirdeis rium.
I was clambering up the dykes
And descending the ridges
When a friendly lad met me
And he did not enforce his friendship on me.
Ged bheireadh tu crodh agus caoraich dhomh,
Ged bheireadh tu eachaibh air thaodaibh dhomh,
Ged bheireadh tu sin agus daoine dhomh,
A ghaoil, leig dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi.
Though you were to give me cattle and sheep
Though you were to give me tethered horses
Though you were to give me that and men
Love, let me home as you found me.
Trodaidh m' athair 's mo mhàthair riut,
Trodaidh mo chinneadh 's mo chàirdean riut,
Ach marbhaidh mo thriùir bhràithrean thu
Mura tèid mi dhachaigh mar thàine mi.
My mother and father will chastise you
My clan and my relatives will chastise you
But my three brothers will kill you
If I don’t return home as I came.
Gheall mo mhàthair gùn thoirt dhomh,
Gheall i ribean a b' ùire dhomh,
Is gheall i breacan ùr thoirt dhomh
Ma thèid mi dhachaigh mar fhuair thu mi
My mother promised me a gown
Decorated with the newest of ribbons
And she promised me a new plaid
If I return home the way you found me.
I weep every time I listen to this. Julie Fowlis is pure Celtic genius to this old man's heart...
...and still is.
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.
I have lost my way, except for the path that is celebrated. Glory and union, unless there is evil. Then we must be what we are, and always will be
Thank you Ms Fowlis, for keeping the Ald Songs alive.
Over here in Canada - I and many friends never tire of hearing your voice. Keep the songs coming!

What about Paul McGrath??
4 minutes with goosebumbs on my skin and peace in my soul.
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...
American by birth. Scott/Irish by blood. 100% Scottish by soul. Beautiful. Difficult language to learn, but trying.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the guitarist's lamb chops.
yes.. her husband to boot! I think he should keep em as a regular thing
This is just so unbelievably beautiful, I can't stop listening to it. Makes me want to learn gaelic.
had the joy of hearing her play this live just this past Sunday night....
:)
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!
Me too, it’s beautiful.
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. ❤
Hi Julie! Beautiful song, excellent voice, nice band! Love from Greece!
I have been listening to this while I'm at work. So beautiful!
ancient sound. ancient emotion. ancient soul.
She sang this for me, just a few meters away. I was totally caught in her vibe on that moment! She didnt open her eyes during the entire song! You could hear a needle drop
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 😏
Hey guys greetings from Türkiye! Special melody, special music.😊
Beautiful - Living in the states, this sound makes me think of home!
Your music looks like a fairy tale is beautiful. Greetings from Serbia.
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.
Love your songs Julie and keep the Gaelic language going 😍
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you very much Julie.
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.
hello from italy..is a beautiful woman !!! and this voice ..no coment....Thank you Julie for this song...respect
An excellent song I can't stop listening to...
