Enya, 100%. But in all honesty, Orinoco Flow doesn't do it for me. But "Only Time" and "May It Be" are simply phenomenal. And after reaction to "May It Be", react to the cover by the Croatian duo 2 Cellos, is simply amazing.

@@JustaGuy2.0 Those may be better but for J & Amber it would be better to do Orinoco Flow because it was the big hit and they'll get more traffic.

@@JustaGuy2.0 Absolutely, Only Time was a huge hit also

Enya's family has a great folk band, Clannad, which put out some great songs, such as "In a Lifetime" with Bono from U2, and the "Theme from Harry's Game" also used in the film, "Patriot Games" and a Toyota car ad. Honestly, the entire album, "Anam", is great.

@@terineedham7967 True. Orinoco Flow was my introduction song into Enya, but as time went by "Only Time" is one of my favorites from her. She has many more. Makes me want to listen to her now lol.

So happy you have discovered Celtic Women. Don’t forget to check out Celtic Thunder ❤️

Woman* ;)

Need to checkout Josh Groban's version of this song

@@deborahdoesslots8456 I agree. Celtic Thunder is a must.

I agree too

American Celt here. Yep...warms my heart.

You have such musical talent and spirit in Ireland. So many of our people in America come from Irish roots, myself included. I believe America has such beautiful folk music because of Ireland!

The Irish have graced this world with bountiful gifts.

Aww, sorry for your loss.

Thank you

@@tonycamacho66 Most welcome

Bless you Sir

I’m so sorry for your tragic loss. May you find peace in her memories.

I totally agree with you it’s a great break🙋🏻‍♀️

I agree, thank you for the break in the craziness ❤️

So true. Just pure joy from experiencing all kinds of great music.

Totally agree! Jay and Amber are such nice people, and they have a huge following. I’m glad to be part of it!

Soooooooo sick of decent channels reacting to political crap. Thanks for mentioning it.

I was going to suggest they listen to Celtic Thunder also.

All Irish except for Hayley Westenra (2006-2007).

Wow that’s amazing! How lovely!

Listen to Lucy Thomas and her sister (Martha) sing this. it is a wow

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Yes yes yes! Josh’s version is so beautiful!!! This is great but Josh’s is phenomenal!! Please, please listen to Josh Groban’s version of You Raise Me Up” Amber you will definitely cry with his version!

Westlife version is also a must

Josh's version is the definitive version!!!

Your wife was lucky to be loved by you in such a deep way. Sorry for her loss so young. Hope you have found love and happiness again.

@peggynulsen1365 it's been 13 years since she passed away and all I have found were drunks, druggie and abusive lovers but that's OK because for 12 years I had her love and my life today is better because of her love. Thank You for your kind thoughts

oh my lord reading your comment my lord............my heart is filled ........ive never had that love and never will................wow

I can't imagine the depth of your loss. Your late wife was a lucky gal to be loved by your in such a deep way. This song means a lot to me as well! I hope you can find another wonderful woman to raise you up to more than you can be. God bless you good sir!

Josh Groban has a beautifully powerful voice. This same song would be a great introduction for the two of you

So true

Amen

I had a dog who would sing along with Josh’s version of this song.

He had a huge hit with this in 2004.

YES

Mouth Music, Talitha MacKenzie, Loreena McKennitt, Clannad. All of these have some incredible Celtic music. Mouth Music's first CD (with Talitha) and Talitha's solo efforts have most songs sung ni Gaelic.Beautiful. Haunting. Moving.

tragic history - thanks to the English !

@@buzztp5119 And Scandinavians (during the Viking Age) and Muslim pirates/slavers (from the 7th century to the 19th century). But mostly Cromwell.

@@merlball8520 And let's not forget Irish Slave raids into Wales and their attempts to colonize there!

Erin go bragh

@Donatella Loncar supposedly my people are from Kinsale. I hope I spelled that right. It was like four generations back though.

@@itsmedino My people are from County Clare.

Mayo for Sam

Yes 🎉

YES!!!

@rathendark6108 Same for me.

Snap

Definitely The Corrs Breathless

I have been blessed to see these woman' 5 times each time getting better and better I would recommend highly to go see them if they come to your area they are truly a blessing from God

100% agree

Agree!

i agree!

Yes, Enya! They should definitely react to one of her songs!

Enya is also a brennan family member, clannad.

me too!!!

my first special was the original, my first concert was the New Journey tour cause in the original tour i broke my foot from falling a couple rows off bleachers in gym...

Beautiful biblical references in this song ❤️🙏

Have you heard of a Christian group "Selah" do this song? It is excellent as well.

@@bakerbaggertagger selah is a Jewish word that means "stop and listen" a reference to Hear me what I am saying back to God ... I have heard of the group I believe they are mostly a cover group doing music that others have written and sung although they have a few original songs ....they are a gospel group right ?

@@markpalfenier5851 Christian music has many genres, so if you like, yes they are a gospel group. You could say they take songs out of the hymnal and dust them off and update the songs to appeal to a new generation of believers.

@@bakerbaggertagger hi, so when it comes to secular music the purpose is entertainment, gospel or Christian music has a more utopian purpose. My approach to gospel or Christian music is from a more Jewish lens (although I am not Jewish) I am troubled by most contemporary gospel because it misses that utopian purpose. Let me explain: first I have no problem with the musical composition of much of the modern gospel music, and I love when hymnology of old is also contemporized in its music. My problem lies in lyrics of contemporary christian music. Most songs are very subjective relating of personal experiences with God, or emotional highs they get from expressing their feelings based on those experiences. Compared to hymns of old who's lyrics were more Objective as a whole....expressing God's attributes , God's love for mankind , God's benevolence , God's mercy , providential care , creation , in other words top to bottom rather than bottom to top ....modern Christian lyrics tend to be introspective and me centered....their in lies the difference...Jewish patriarcs of old wrote poems and lyrics exhalting God, and even when they would relate personal experiences they put God at the forefront and their experience was more of an after effect of what God had done or who God is....example are the hallel psalms of king David Starting in ps 140 to the end were always about Him and how He rescues and saves and completes etcetera...modern Christian music seems to be more about God look at me let me show u how much I love you , let me show u how I feel about you and so on ...nothing wrong with that as an individual expression but to use it to compel groups or congregations to participate in individual unique experiences seems disingenuous for those mouthing the words of an experience they have never had. I am reminded of Hillsong , and elevation music that has a way of playing in to their audiences that appear to manipulate them into emotional highs or euforias so that they can feel closer to God through that song ....Shouldn't Christian music be to exalt God and express something God has done for that person previously? I find no better way to make it universal when the lyrics are top to bottom and give a person opportunity to ponder about God's majesty , power, goodness, grace toward man. All this to Say that I love most when the modern christian music is combined with objective lyrics that opens ones eyes to visualizing God in His true form resulting in praise and worship about Him not us ...Otherwise why not just stick to secular music for emotions and entertainment ? I hope u get what I'm saying....authors like Fanny crosby , and spafford , Wesley and others captured this concept much better than modern Christian composer do today ....there are exceptions but it's not the rule

This actually was filmed at Powerscourt House & Gardens for their DVD Songs From The Heart. They did actually record a show at Slane a few years earlier called New Journey

@Donatella Loncar you say potato, i say potahto...i never said *you* had to like this version better, just that i did. Also, i still do.

Westlife did the best version imo

Yes, believe to be the original singer of the song.

I've been following them from that PBS special and had a big crush on Meiread Nesbitt and Lisa Kelly.

@@scot_irsh Meiread can put so much emotion through her eyes it's incredible. My celeb crush was Orla...I'm just a sucker for red hair lol!

There is also, male Celtics singer's

Lisa Kelly is my favourite.

All Irish, except for when New Zealander Hayley Westenra was part of the ensemble.

Only an Irish mammy can make "get up off yer arse and do the washing up, ya lazy little fecker" sound melodious 😉

Was trying to think back to when it was my Dad was watching their TV concert at the Helix(?) in Ireland. 2004 sounds about right. It was on a channel called "KPBS. They were part of a fundraiser I believe. Been following ever since. Went to two of their concerts in my city supporting their first(?) two albums. Incredible!

@@michaelwright4525 Yes. We've been following them ever since too and have been to see them in concert several times here in the States.

I feel like no one ever talks about At the Ceili. It’s my favorite!

I love that

there are some beautiful songs "Spanish lady" , "I am the sky and the dawn and the sun", "dulaman" and "The call"

Love Loreena McKennit-great call!

Came here to say that. Look for the live version, you'll dig all the weird instruments like the hurdy-gurdy. And yes, Enya is fabulous, too.

I love that song too

What is also amazing is that she was 16 years old when she performed in this concert.

I recently saw Chloe in a video created during the Covid shutdown. She has become a gorgeous woman and still with her amazing voice. I can't think of the video title just now, but the video contained a bunch of Irish singers and musicians. Chloe was brilliant!

From the DVD Songs From the Heart

Sorry for your loss

Crying with you.. my mom too

Original lineup. Did you know that Lisa moved to Peachtree City, GA to run a voice teaching school when she left the group?

@@alantidwell7889 Yes! 😁 We had heard that.

I loved the ensemble that included Hayley Westenra. She and Meav singing the Last Rose of Summer gives me chills.

@@anniemoran1 It was all just beautiful.

If I remember rightly she was only 16 here.

Josh Groban’s version was in 2003 and was not the original. The original was sung by Bryan Kennedy in 2002. And the song is really just “Danny Boy” which is in itself based on an old Irish melody.

... beautiful rendered song with an awesome video

@@Dreyno The original version is written by Rolf Løvland - and was performed by Secret Garden - from Norway. English translation by Brendan Graham

@@toremejlnder-larsen2731 Secret Garden invited Bryan Kennedy to sing it. Løvland wrote the music and then got Graham to write the words and Kennedy to sing it. But the melody is simply an old Irish folk song. It’s so old that there’s no copywrite infringement but it’s very obvious that it’s not original.

I first heard Groban singing on an Ally Mc Beal episode in 2001.

I second this.

Also collabs with Amy Lee

100% agree! Lindsey Stirling is breathtaking.

She also came in 2nd place on Dancing With The Stars

She is Amazing and creative. I love her

Absolutely! Her name is Mairead Nesbitt, and she was also the violinist for Riverdance, and Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames, as well as working with a host of other musicians. She is the featured violinist on 2 Disney films, Tinker Bell and Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. She even has her own line of violins for sale. She is amazing!!

💯 My mom also loved Celtic Woman, as well as Cherish the Ladies (who we got to see in concert). This song was played for Mom's funeral and always reminds me of Mom's strength, determination and love. Hubby & I have the DVD of this Celtic Woman concert and absolutely adore everything on it, but I can't get through this song or Danny Boy without crying and missing my parents.❤

I love this! My mom was my choir director for years, but I’m the alto, she’s a mezzo soprano. I was lucky enough to take her to see Celtic Woman on their Christmas tour a few years ago when they came to the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta. Such an amazing night. God bless you and your mama’s soul.

@@abbynormal4740 I understand completely! My mom had this cd as well. I can't get through it without tears as well. Seems we both were blessed with incredible women as our moms! ❤

❤️

Music from Secret garden and lyrics by Irish song writer Brendan Graham

I agree whole-heartedly. I've seem them twice in concert. Other video watch is the voice. Oh, and BTW -- it's both a fiddle and a violin. Just depends on the song. :) This one, I agree, would be classified as violin, but others would be fiddle.

I LOVE the call!!

The call

I absolutely Love the Bagpipes! And the song Amazing Grace!
