Vintage Friday: Gaelic Song

What is it about this music? Gaelic folk songs tend to touch our hearts and make our spirits soar. Even when the meaning of the words is unknown, the singer and the song resonate deep inside the misty corridors of our cells. Close your eyes and listen. What images do you see? What do you feel when you hear it?

  1. A beautiful haunting song. I have a few Gaelic pieces on mpg3. I enjoy music in other languages and have CD collections of Nordic music and tribal/African music. Recently, as I’m learning Spanish, I’ve started listening to a lot of music in that language.

    Happy Friday, Flossie!

  2. Well, lovely, though for some moments it’s a bit haunting. For me evokes endless prairies and, though it has no connection with them, I see a Native American on a strong horse, staring ahead, a spear ion one hand and the wind ruffling the feathers that crown his head.
    Thanks for sharing!.

  3. To me this song was melancholy. It evoked sadness and a bit of hopelessness. I love rousing Gaelic music that speaks of victories after war, or feeling a bit spiritual after having a bit too much of the ale.

  4. I have no idea what the song was about, but the haunting quality of the sound, and the seemingly inner joy on the faces of the musicians as they played, spoke to my heart. I saw what appeared to be snow through the window and could easily imagine an old cast iron stove in the corner heating the water for tea. The room seemed to be filled with such peace, as to be almost spiritual. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Ooh, Linda, you described so beautifully the evocation of that song. I love what you said. I too was struck by how the singer and musician seemed to be transported into a wold of joy by the sharing of their music. Thank you for sharing your own experience with it. Beautiful.
