Gaelic is hard to speak from what my full blood irish grandmother told me. She use to song me old IRA.songs when I was like ten God may she rest in peace ...love the music remains me of her thank you all very much..
Traver May shanhand was her name before she marred very strong will women...boy if she was drinking irish whiskey on st Patrick's singing IRA.. song and speak in Gaelic miss it all ...
I had my children singing Irish Rebel songs by the time they were 5. Husband was not pleased. Might be why we aren’t together. I would not give up my Irish for anyone.
Whoever put 88 thumbs down about this beautiful song I have my suspicions who they are. They are insane. This song puts shivers up and down my spine. I'm Celtic a true highlander and I'm proud of my heritage.
We call Northern Ireland Naria ,us true Celts do not recognise a British colony state.We are Eire the isle of Celtic Saoirse.Hail to all the Celts of the isles.
I've had a sort of paradoxical personality from birth: I have always had a STRONG sense of justice, drawing me towards order, but yet I value my freedom more than almost anything else, which pulls me towards a more chaotic lifestyle; the daily grind will never satisfy me. These traits would logically, and do, push me to fight for equality and civil freedoms with great passion and aggression, but There's another trait of me that I've wizened enough to know I must never abandon: Pacifism. Violence is NEVER the answer, This I know for certain in my soul. I've almost all my life been confused by these seeming paradoxes in the personality of my heart and soul, But I now know the truth: These Yearnings come from my Irish Blood. Grave Injustices have been forced on my ancestors for generations, but we just want our freedom. We will ALWAYS feel the urge to fight for our homeland, But in truth, what we want and need is peace. A Free Peace when the justice of generations is finally served, and our ancestors no longer yearn for it from their graves. When the children of Ireland and all its neighbors are free to live in Honored Peace, Only then will my Soul be At rest. However, I know my destiny lies here, on the continent of North America. I know not what Destiny has in store for me exactly, and I won't until my dying day, as it should be, But I know that I must Gather wisdom within my mind and soul, for when the time is right, the peoples I grew up next to will need it. And so I stay here, In the U.S. of A. I stay here, I learn, I write, I work, I love, and I live. And I know that someday, Destiny will call upon me. And on that day, I must not be afraid. I must go forth with the calls of freedom, justice, action, and pacifism deep in my heart, shouting out in whatever form that day or those days will need of me.
I have nothing against you but so much is wrong in this comment. People who are chaotic are under the tyranny of their own whims, desires and moods. That is not freedom. Freedom is not chaos, this isn't DnD. Discipline is how you achieve freedom, self imposed rules, goals and decisions. Of your own will. Then you are free to act as you will, you are free. The same goes for society, freedom isn't burning everything to the ground like some Joker. Freedom is having a healthy structure that is non-obtrusive, but still assures you that you are free from the tyranny of your neighbor or governor. But doesn't interfere with your ability to live the life you wish, within freedom. That isn't chaos. As for justice being order. No, justice is when people receive to he fate they have earned, whether it be well or ill. In many orderly tyrannies justice has never been served, in many chaotic lands somebody meets out justice. Justice is a concept separate from order, again this isn't DnD's garbage alignment system. "Violence is never the answer" this is wrong. I suggest listening to "The Necessity of Chivalry" by C.S. Lewis. It isn't long. But a whole person MUST combine the wolf and the lamb, they must integrate their shadow, or else they will be either weak or a bully. Have a nice day.
@@cosmictraveler731 I share your sentiment that the DnD alignments are but a pale imitation of the complexity of real life, a narrowed-down, watered-down view of things fit to describe characters, but not people. I use those words simply to explain myself in a way many will understand. I also agree wuth your sentiment that I mean no ill will to you; have whatever philosophies you want, but I must disagree with some of your claims. Freedom and chaos... It depends on your definitions. I am no slave to rules nor whims. I do what I want to, and I do what orders my lifestyle in a way that it supports me, and enables my will therefore. I am free from any control, and yet I balance this with some order, lest I devolve to a madman on the street. I believe balance between order (rules, guidelines, schedules, habits) and chaos(as i define it; Free choice, some tempered whims, flexibility, openness to outside ideas and stimulus), a balance between the real parts of human experience that "order" and "chaos" attempt to represent, is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. I agree that passion and peace are both necessary, but the "Need" for violent strength is an illusion placed by bullies. Yes, you must have the power to exert your will, that you do not suffer, but that must not be achieved through violence, lest the cycle of pain never end. Passion, strength of will, and strength of exertion of your will, are different from Violence. Violence, for how I use the phrase, is the uncaring assault of another, for petty reasons like hate, fear, sadness, racism, whim, etc. It is anathema to a healthy mind to malevolently desire hurt to be inflicted upon another, for ANY reason, it is immoral and unnecessary, and thus we must find other solutions to any reason that begs violence. _Passion,_ however, is absolutely necessary for a healthy mind, an exertion of will, and healthy expression of self. And so I believe that the inherent evolutionary urge to do harm to your prey or competitors must be redirected to more mentally healthy passions in a sentient mind. It is certainly evident to me that the more we try to be stronger, tougher than the rest of humanity, the more we fall into a cycle of hate. Mental, physical, and Emotional strength are necessary for a healthy adult, but to exert violence on another is wrong and unnecessary. Perhaps I shall listen to that work, and thank you for engaging in this philosophical discussion with me.
I can't stand the idea of living on a planet where this song gets 9.383 views in 3 months and garbage like Justin Bieber gets that in 4 - 5 seconds. Amazing voice, Leah. Keep up the amazing work.
I must have been Irish or Scot in another life since, though a Greek, I adore Celtic music! Great work, amazing voice, excellent mixture of metal and Celtic tunes Leah! Keep on delivering magic!
⚘love this, My favorite song, is Do not stand at my grave and weep, for I am not there, I do not sleep! Do not stand at my grave and cry, for I am not there I have not died....This is what I have chosen for when i pass. It was read, at my brother's funeral he was only 18 years old........passed in 1971, by a drunk driver, that year, was horrible, we had 3 deaths, back 2 back! Honestly, I don't feel anything it's hard 2 describe. And, now I lost both of my Parents!
there is no UK for me. I will always consider Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as countries of their own. That's just the ancient Gaelic part of me talking. don't judge ;)
Actually no I'm in agreeance with you son so no judging there I actually want that.... As in all those regions being separate independent countries same with Brittany and Cornwall heck even Isle of Man.
I'm American born with family ties to county Derry Ireland. This song makes me long to be in that place. I'm proud to know that i have the blood of the Irish in me.
Leah you had to be a Queen in your past life. the power of your voice is beyond anything Ive experienced. I can't get enough of you. Every lyric your voice touches is blessed by a force far beyond this realm. Forgive me but I am just searching for words to describe what I'm feeling. I don't what else to say but ...... I want to be a part of what you do. 😉
I had similar dreams as a child. Almost like a series.. Rolling green hills, giving commands in a language I had never heard. Preparing for a battle. Then returning to the castle after success!
Warmest greetings from a Greek, a person whose country has never been free since 1453; the Ottomans were followed by the Bavarians, the English and since the end of WWII and until today by the Americans.
I wish to see my ancestral lands of Scotland. Live in America but my heart remains to the Highlands and my blood will forever long to return to my family's homeland.
I love your voice Leah, . we do appreciate being able to find Celtic music and words on here thank you so much. you make us all realize what we all fight to preserve all human rights and strive for peace where we can
I’m a Walters and am proud of my Welsh ancestry. I always loved Celtic music since the first time I heard it and after my welsh ancestry was confirmed , I knew it was in my blood. Thank you for the beautiful songs!
My family's clan had to scoot out of Scotland after the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. They ended up in No. Ireland b4 hitting the shores of early America . I get this song!
There is something haunting about this music and your beautiful voice. It stirs the inner beast in me and begs me to remember deeds of the past. Before I die, I will walk the hills of my long past homeland.
Normally the most honourable things to say would be 'Civis Romanus sum' or 'Ich bin ein Berliner', but after listening to this, I would rather shout out loud and proudly: Rwy'n Gymro! Thank you for this song! Your voice and songs are utterly priceless and prodigious! Best regards from the meridional England!
Just had my DNA skan found out I was totally European mostly British isle and Scandinavian with Mediterranean slightly ,love the music been cheating myself for not being more open
I'm adopted, and I don't have a clue where I come from, but this music is like a joy in my heart

As an Irish woman I love it too.
A very addictive song that reaches deep within the soul and makes it sing along.

Every single one of your songs are amazing LEAH, holy fuck.
Haha thanks!!
This is a cover of Ten,s original
First song I'm listening to in 2022. Here's hoping for a better year than the one behind us.
I just found this song tonight and I really love it and would love to buy a copy of it on I-tunes but I cannot find it.
The Brave Heart vibes!!!
William Wallace!!!
I can't stand the idea of living on a planet where this song gets 9.383 views in 3 months and garbage like Justin Bieber gets that in 4 - 5 seconds.
Amazing voice, Leah. Keep up the amazing work.
same, my friend
I hear thee
In a sane world, this kind of song would be playing in the mainstream radios.
I totally agree. But Justin Bieber has the back up system that these independent artists don't have. He sold his soul for fame and money.
Sonya Marlene But why that moron Bieber instead of this young lady with REAL talent?
I love to hear songs of my ancestors sung in your beautifully "haunting" voice! Please continue
I must have been Irish or Scot in another life since, though a Greek, I adore Celtic music! Great work, amazing voice, excellent mixture of metal and Celtic tunes Leah! Keep on delivering magic!
I understand what you mean (even if I could have, myself, some celtic blood from my mother's side)
Panayotis Kelandrias it's interesting reading your comment as my father is Greek and my mother comes from a Scottish/Irish family.
Irish and Greek history and culture, including music, have many things in common. This is why many Greeks love Celtic music.
Hebrews 9:27
also we all were tribal at on point, even the most mighty of empires. I love Celtic music my grandmothers father's people were Irish and Scottish
This song is just incredible. I listen to it once and i already love it.
I can't stop listening to this song!!!!! One of my favorites right now.
Long live the Celtic People
The most serene battle song ever
even though my family left ireland in the 1780s to america im still proud to have irish blood and amazing voice and song
Oh My God. The heart of this old soldier cries. But his steel rang true. Thank you for this song.
⚘love this, My favorite song, is Do not stand at my grave and weep, for I am not there, I do not sleep!

Leah, thanks for keeping the depth of Celtic music alive! Love your voice and spirit.
Coming from Irish Scottish and Celtic linage this is a amazing song just like all your songs I've had the pleasure of hearing
This is amazingly EPIC!!!
there is no UK for me.
I will always consider Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as countries of their own.
That's just the ancient Gaelic part of me talking. don't judge ;)
let them judge their judgement means nothing to the gael we know what we are what others think matters not ,alba gu brath griorgaraich despite them
Don't forget Cornwall also was an ancient CELTIC Country
Actually no I'm in agreeance with you son so no judging there I actually want that.... As in all those regions being separate independent countries same with Brittany and Cornwall heck even Isle of Man.
We are all mixed ! Have been by necessity to survive as a race ! Their for we are ALL part of the Celtic nation ! :-) atb from Scotland...
Tatherel- Supporting the UK doesn't mean the 4 Nations have no identity!
This song is amazing it speaks to my soul it evokes my warrior spirit!!
As an American of Irish decent, I love these songs.
I'm American born with family ties to county Derry Ireland. This song makes me long to be in that place. I'm proud to know that i have the blood of the Irish in me.
As an Irish/Scots/Britain by heritage, this calls to my soul.
A fantastic song, honoring our Celtic ancestry!
Having someone with a deep rolling nordic Irish mix would make this song so good .dont get me wrong this is amazing
This is the first time I’ve heard this song, instantly liked it fantastic.
Your voice is amazingly haunting and powerful. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I love this song and I’m from the Amish it’s on my favorite list and listen to it a lot
Leah you had to be a Queen in your past life. the power of your voice is beyond anything Ive experienced. I can't get enough of you.

OK, I'm ready to charge the field of Bannockburn with King Robert...
Great job, Leah.
Proud mix of Irish and Welsh.

I am not of Earth but always resonate with Celtic music. Love it
Why are tears falling 😭😭😭
Thank you for this wonderful performance Leah, you have a beautiful voice, so glad I stumbled upon this amazing piece.
I had similar dreams as a child. Almost like a series.. Rolling green hills, giving commands in a language I had never heard. Preparing for a battle. Then returning to the castle after success!
This is me. This is so many people. I don't agree with them all, they don't agree with me. We all agree on something. Keep singing it.
Wow, this is absolutely Beautiful. Leah your voice is incredible
