Lived in the UK all my life. I've always had a soft spot for Ireland in Eurovision. My father was from Co Cavan and I never knew him as he died when I was 14 months old. I remember watching this LIVE back in 1996 and to this day this is still the greatest Eurovision song ever made (in my opinion of course) It is a very pure magical song and I always smile when hearing it
You're are a true and deep voice of ancient Ireland, awakening images of ancient Celtic queens and knightly valor, dear Eimear. Your fan from Armenia )
Being greek I m as NOT irish as it gets but this song gives me the chills. Beautiful "ethnic" melody, hauntingly Beautiful and so characteristically irish. Thats what the Eurovision should be about. Other than that, Eimar still sounds and looks spectacular
This is sooo amazing! In 1996 I was like 12 and entranced by your voice! I bought the cd single with my saved pocketmoney. I am 40 now.. and still one of the most beautiful song of all time!
Outstanding. Just to show if us Irish people got a choice in who we were sending, we wouldnt be an embarrssment for the thrash we send. So many talented musicians and song writers in this country! Love Ireland Love Eimear Quinn. 12 points from Ireland to......Ireland. lol
I remember the night Eimear won the national song contest. I was trying to do my home work. And its was a wow moment. The national song contest needs to come back. To bring the Eurovision back to the people. This song is timeless.
Νot just one of the best songs in the Eurovision , but of the whole planet ! It wrote its history and it is still loveable to the audience . A true masterpiece and what a voice !
This song has been very special ever since it was chosen to represent Ireland in Eurovision. My mother brought me the "Gatherings" CD when she visited Ireland and she chose this song for her farewell. It was played at her funeral in May this year.
I was 13-year old kid watching Eurovision in 1996 and I remember being mesmerized by your performance back then. Now 25 years later I'm watching this stunning performance and I'm mesmerized once again. What a powerful voice! And you look stunning by the way!
When I was little my mother always listened to this song, it turns out I couldn’t sleep without this song since I heard it. I just want you to know that you really are the voice of my history. I just love you so much just like I love your voice and this song. Wish you all the best
I was watching Eurovision here in 2021, and they played a clip of this song in the show, and immediately I wanted to look it up. Very beautiful and amazing, and what a gorgeous voice. The song is a year older than I am...
This is an absolute tour-de-force…..one of the greatest Celtic inspired songs performed with sheer perfection. It never fails to give me goosebumps, so incredibly beautiful.
I was 13 in 1996 when i was seeing the contest , as a Breton girl i wanted to see Dan Ar Braz (breton musician) representing France .... When i saw Eimear Quinn with this song, i knew she went to win... i was so impressed with her ! Then, she came to Britanny (Quimper) with Anúna on the summer, a few months after Oslo, and she sang Dan Ar Braz song « Diwannit bugale ». So kind ! Very good memories ! 24 year after , The Voice is a song that always makes me happy. Thank you Eimear, you’re such an artist !! 😄 cheers from Britanny
ho ascoltato tutte le canzoni vincitrici dell'eurovision song contest e The voice di Eimear Quinn è di gran lunga la mia preferita! Canzone fantastica ed emozionante!
Stunning Eimear - this song never gets old! The last time we won the Eurovision and I can’t believe it was 24 years ago!! I long for those days again! 🇮🇪
Fantastic. "The Voice" is, in my opinion, the greatest Irish Eurovision winner of all time. Breathtaking song, and Eimear Quinn performed it as beautifully here as she did then. Love from Iceland!
This is unbelievable. It's been 24 years since her victory but she not only looks the same but she sounds the same! If not better, Wow! Amazing version of a classic
That's an amazing song. The best Irish entry in ESC for me in 1996. A well deserved victory. That song is a masterpiece and Eimear Quinn is a real Queen. Great performance here, in 2020, same as 1996 and even better. Awesome!!!
First time i saw this in eurovision i said what an enchanting woman and song, 24 years i feel the same way thank you once again and greetings from australia
My favourite eurovision winner song of all time ❤️ Even though she won when I wasn't born yet as I'm only 18, this song and the singer have something so mystical and magical going on on the stage! Big big love from France 🇫🇷❤️🇮🇪
One word:Mesermising.This song still gives me those goosebumps from 1996.This is what Eurovision should be all about.Amazing performance and singer.The best Eurovision winner of all time in my book 🇮🇪.
So glad I found this! I saw the original performance as a little boy and the beautiful melody and Eimear's ethereal voice still lift my spirit now as they did back then. This song is truly a classic. Beautiful and divine. Congratulations Eimear on yet another fantastic performance. Simply stunning.
So kind! it's a honour to life your spirit! you might enjoy the music from Ériu - smarturl.it/Eimear_Album it's main aim to to be spirit-lifting! xx Eimear

I always shed a tear when I listen to it. It's so soothing. A true treasure that should be preserved at all costs. The instrumental parts are enchanting. I really appreciate Irish music. Sending love and support from Greece
@@EimearQuinnVox You're welcome. I might have only become a Eurovision fan in 2014, but being born as an Irish-American in the 90s makes me proud to have musicians like you. ❤
In my honest opinion, one of the best Eurovision winners of all time
Estoy de acuerdo.
100%...I remember the night it was first sung and I predicted that it would win the eurovision......
I agree
I agree (100%).
What the hell!? She looks and sounds as in 1996. 👁️‼️
You are TOO kind! thank you ❤️
Actually... she looks and sounds better in 2020.
Come back to Eurovision eimear - Ireland desperately needs you!
@@mikestagraming ❤️
Irish woman obviously don't age. Truly from a mystical land !
yea xDDD
Ireland really needs to send something like this again!!
Yes!!
For me this always felt like the 'soul/essence of Ireland', not just a song for a contest ...
This song sounds so heavenly in 2020! Out of all the eurovision winners, this and Nocturne must be the most timeless.
I agree! Nocture ❤️
Euphoria.
@@spacegarnaal timeless, as in, they could be amazing songs in the 50s and 2020s
@@lexezlao then The Voice isnt timeless, it is absolutelu not a song that would be popular in the 50s at all
Don’t forget ‘Would you Love a Monsterman’ from Finland. Couldn’t be more different or more memorable!
This is not only your voice, this is the voice of IRELAND ITSELF!
Her voice has matured over the last 24 years (in a good way!), but the song itself is timeless, and eternal. My favorite Irish entry ever.
So kind - thank you!
I think she sounds better now then when she won the contest. Her voice has matured as she has. JUST BEAUTIFUL!
Still sounds as amazing as she did in 1996! One of the best Eurovision winners ever and Ireland's proudest moment at the contest.
thank you ❤️
My favourite ever. Perfect. Like Tolkien character.
Eimear looks absolutely stunning... time has not aged her one moment... she actually looks MORE beautiful 24 years later... unreal.
❤️ too kind x
With this performance she easily can win the Eurovision today. No one can beat her
So generous - thank you!
Omg, I'm watching this in November 2023 and it brings me so many memories. She is like an angel with a special energy. Love from Barcelona, Spain ❤️
She could win Eurovision every single year with this song.. Best winner of all time.
Better than ever.....Great Performance ☘️👍
thank you ! 💚
All the gold in world to hear this song in "Tolkien Elvish", my vivid imagination would conjure dragons, heroes and villains ... along with the gold.
Still sounds as good as when I first heard it in 1996 xxx
Who would have thought that this would the last time Ireland winning ESC
Still got it. Very beautiful
Almost 3 decades have passed since Eurovision and Eimear's performances only get better, her voice is like a fine wine.

Such high praise Terra - thank you! My love to you and the honoured memory of your beloved father ❤️
This song is probably the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm in a fairytale
Fell in love with Eimear in 1996 when I was 12 and still think she is the most beautiful entry ever.
Thank you! ❤️
I was 12 as well. My first memory of the ESC and have loved it ever since. She looked like a forest fairy / maiden with her white dress ☘🍃🌼🌳💫
