I like the solarized effect the video has, very photo-atmospheric. And I love songs written by Pol Brennan. This one, the "Wild Cry", "Theme from Harry's Game" and "White Fool". Thanks for posting this!
My two wishes would be to have known of you sooner. The second is to someday meet you in concert here somewhere in the states. I cannot and nor do I ever want to rid my mind of your remarkable/haunting melodies. CRAIG
If you listen to the Sami (Lapps) in Scandinavia sing, they have a unique soulful way of singing. It is extraordinary the amount of great singers, bands etc that are Irish or of Irish descent, there seems to be a natural love and appreciation of folk music that is ingrained in the people. But Europe has produced so many great writers of music and vocalists, I guess affluence has allowed people to focus on music and in other parts of the world perhaps history has been more of a struggle.
I have listed to more Irish/Scottish folk music than music from the rest of Europe. It is so magical! Would be interesting to compare folk music from other countries though but I don't know where to look.
Very moving and artsy vid!! Somehow had now seen this before. The always excellent voice of Moya, no matter how one spells her first name. Great lighting effects. Behold Man!
@Jesrbryant Everything that goes to britain first have to go through the netherlands. The Belgae were mixed Germanic and Celtic. The batavians were propably also mixed.
@DCDUO Cmon Guys Chi-i-i-i-iLL Oout! Protestant - Smotestant! Catholic - Pratolic! Why cant we ALL just get along?! Its the amazing, soul-moving music of the video on this page that most people are really interested in..So why dont you shake hands And turn up the Volume on this Phat Track! ;-)
Clannad really has Celtic influences, a very European background. Scandinavia has produced great metalbands: Finntroll, Dimmu, In Flames. The new wave of british heavy metal: Sabbath, Led Zepp, Iron Maiden etc. The only cool Dutch bands I know are Golden Earring, Osdorp Posse (but they have Dutch raps), Within Temptation and Blof. Does anyone of you know some decent Dutch bands ?
@prankster1590 Not that many. When it's found, yes it is. but you're talking about not a high level as you think. The dutch have a high R1B as well as irish showing gene flow from western seaboard, and why both have megalithic monuments. Only english who have anglo saxon descent will make a close match, but depending on the region can be less than 50 percent. Dutch is the closest language to English.
@rocksparadox Did you know that the dutch are more similar to the irisch genetically then to the south germans. And that the english DNA is almost an exact match with that from the people of the nothern dutch provincess.
@leiar1211 Ahh you should praise SirGiedion, he apologised, I really did pick him up wrongly. You're right though it is very rare it seems! Thank you ;)
@prankster1590 that depends on wich part of England you study. Look up a BBC programe called Blood of the Vikings. They did a huge genetic survey of English men.
Nice Brazil shots, I spent a year and a half out there, awesome place. I am not sure I agree with you entirely about your Ireland views, The IRA did win liberation for the country & people are reluctant to forget the harsh times of the past whether they live in the USA or Eire, it's still recent history. I think being British its easy to be proud, but their pride was taken from them & their destiny shaped.
i glad as a irish person to hear that, but i dont think english people understand how much damage was done. 800 years is a v.long time to be at war, and that culture you admire just about hung on by its fingertips. Genocide is about what describes it and it will take a long time to forget. brothers i don't think so, lets just hope friends. we aint in the one family.
@MikeSutcliffe07 There is much truth to this sentiment. However, we should not discount the fact that often religion requires a closing off of certain mental faculties, which can in and of itself cause conflict.
800 years?. Who invaded in 1169? Well the Roches, Fitzgereralds,Fitzpatricks, etc did. But arent they Irish names? History isnt always so simple. Go read some history.
@sirGiedion Christianity is excempt, people aren't. You've spoken some truth however you take particular aim towards Catholicism. If you respect the core teachings of the bible then you should respect the church that came from the command of Jesus Christ. I'm still not wrong about your pride, do you really think you wouldn't offend anyone by taking aim at us in particular and trying to pass yourself off as a great ecumenical person? If that is how you think.
I’ve listened to Clannad my whole life. Still one of the best bass lines I’ve ever heard.
Such a great band, such lovely people. Deep admiration for this family!
Enya now of the next world.
I love the video & song,
Because it somewhat mysterious,
Free and unbounded.
Clannad ..awesome
Magic bass 🎵💚✌️
That's true... sounds like it's made with keyboards

Clannad is the voice of the Eire's soul.

I remember this song from album Pastpresent. The most beautiful voice in this world!
Magical voice and sound
This song is without time...
love this forever
I like the bass and harp riff in this song.
My two wishes would be to have known of you sooner. The second is to someday meet you in concert here somewhere in the states. I cannot and nor do I ever want to rid my mind of your remarkable/haunting melodies. CRAIG
That's real valuable music, simply adore.
I absolutely love Clannad and their music even though I'm protestant. What does it matter...I'm still from Ireland and love them!!!!!!!!!!!
Clannad... Irish to the core.. Their music is from the Earth.... Primeval..
A great song from a fantastic Band ! Clannad Forever
proud to be irish.The more i learn about irish history,the deeper the pride grows.

One of the best.....i played there music in lots of differend times in my live.....and still.....
if heven excists iam there! long live clannad!
@MikeSutcliffe07 It's a pity that the masses can't seem to grasp this simple observation.
Oh! What a beautiful song! ^_^
sexy beautiful classy haunting & deep. must be Clannad..
Past present Kind of a best of album
pretty cool video! i like this song
Very moving and artsy vid!! Somehow had now seen this before. The always excellent voice of Moya, no matter how one spells her first name. Great lighting effects. Behold Man!
A tradução da letra é linda!
luv the band
I agree with you totally. After all, it's only in the last fifteen/twenty years that Eire is coming out of 800 year slumber.
awesome
I love it. :) There's something very mystical about their music, if that's the right word to use.
Doskonała muzyka i obraz.
@Jesrbryant Everything that goes to britain first have to go through the netherlands. The Belgae were mixed Germanic and Celtic. The batavians were propably also mixed.
you just cant beat listening to clannad if you wanna chill right out

@DCDUO wow, of all the arguments people get into online, its rare to see someone actually apologize and try to make peace. kudos to you :)
go for the album past present, this song is on it

These are Enya's siblings!
OMFG What a beautiful video
agree!
Sportymike the only torture i feel is walking by a celtic shop in belfast...personally i feel ..unoppressed...that cant be a word..
@MikeSutcliffe07 Amen

There is no sister named Ciara. I believe one of the brothers in named Ciaran, but the sister is named Maire.

I agree with you MikeSutcliffe07
@sirGiedion It's no problem mate, I've picked you up wrong and was perhaps a bit severe. Forgive me also.
@MikeSutcliffe07 You are absolutely right but i don't think youtube is the place to comment on that.
try looking at Cultus Ferox, They are quite good, more wild than eerie
@MalteseMarc
Yes, you are right. You have to !
Lovely stuff!!! :)
Ruiseart.
which album is this on? i love it
look up clannads albums
14 people have no spirit and soul.
Heeee was right by beeeing wrong
@sirGiedion lol u know dis ;-) glad it made u smile
nice, said by an irishman who loves holland lol
Good song, though I don't know what it is about
wow clicked on this thinking the anime Clannad
What war went on for 800 years??
I`m not mad at the brittishI just wish more people paid more attention to what when on.They got forgooten here in the U.S
@MikeSutcliffe07 There is much truth to this sentiment. However, we should not discount the fact that often religion requires a closing off of certain mental faculties, which can in and of itself cause conflict.
Great dutch bands you didn't name:
After Forever
Ayreon (not really a band)
Delain
Epica
shaalis What makes you say that?
Sounds like a plan.
Like "Orion the Hunter."
@MikeSutcliffe07 too true, this i strongly believe also. Its easy to use religion as a excuse & unfortunately to many people follow this also :(
And uncles.
real good music, but to slow for me. :D !
I like how it looks like she has a slight thyroid issue going on
too slow and so no dance music?!? This music is much too high-class as to do something trivial as dancing - as trivial people use to do pah!
give a man what? :S
mean not meen
800 years?. Who invaded in 1169? Well the Roches, Fitzgereralds,Fitzpatricks, etc did. But arent they Irish names? History isnt always so simple. Go read some history.

i thought clannad from the anime
then go back to dance music ha ha, it is too slow, check out armin van buuren
Unfortunately, religion has been responsible for most wars throughout history, at least mans interpretation of it.
@sirGiedion Yet you insult the Irish with your prideful ignorance.
Clannad is the voice of the Eire's soul.
