Celtic Woman

[Icefire]

Cool! I'll try to get that done tomorrow.
In the meantime...

More Songs Celtic Woman must hear:

Órla Fallon:
1. Siúil A Rún
2. Siúil A Rún (yes they are different. Let me know which you prefer!)
3. Isle of Innisfree
4. Distant Shore

I love Órla's music! There are so many others I'd like to post, but I'll wait...

[Icefire]

Ok! Take a look at the list in the first post of this thread and let me know what I'm missing.
You can ignore the fact that I somehow managed to leave my top favorite singer, Lynn Hilary...I'm not sure how I did that, but the mistake will be corrected first chance I get.

[Tiria Wildlough]

I have new favourites now that I've listened to Songs From The Heart. They are:

1. Coast of Galicia
2. Nil Se'n La (spelling)
3. You'll Be In My Heart
4. When You Believe

[Icefire]

I like all of those except Nil Se'n La! (You spelled it right)

More songs every Celtic Woman Fan must hear (to be added to the first post)


Lynn Hilary:
1. Melody of Life
2. Erin Beo
3. Suantraí
4. Swimming in the Barrow

#3 makes me think of LOTR for some reason.

Ok! I think I got everyone now! If I'm missing any must hear songs, let me know....Also if you know of a better picture (or any picture in the case of Deirdre) Please post it!

[Tiria Wildlough]

Icefire, how can you not like Nil Se'n La? I know it's a drinking song, but still!
I did some CW banners. It's fun to make them, but I'm still learning about pixels. Here's your Deirdre picture:

Nil Se'n La has a GREAT tune, Tiria. If I could get just the instrumental version, then I would. I love the tune, just not the words.

EXACTLY!!!! Nil Se'n La is one of my favorite tunes, but those words...
Thanks for that picture, Tiria! I've been trying to find that exact picture! I knew I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I like making banners, too! I haven't posted any of mine yet, though.


BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!
The newest Celtic Woman member has just been announced.
Introducing SUSAN McFADDEN!

You can learn more about her at http://www.celticwoman.com/.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Yeah, I just noticed! I wonder how she will sound...
It's true, the words of Nil Se'n La don't exactly rock, but who cares?!

[Icefire]

Me! *waves hand* I care.

I can't wait to hear her! I just hope I can hear her somehow before February and the beginning of the tour!

[Tiria Wildlough]

Why should you care?


Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir

Is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna

Is é dúirt sí liom “Ní bhfaighidh tú deor

Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile”



I came by a house last night

And told the woman I am staying

I said to her:

"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"



Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is glowing

Fill my glass I'll sing a song

And will start the music flowing



Never mind the rising light

There's no sign of day or dawning

In my heart it's still the night

And we'll stay here till the morning



[Chorus:]

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.



It's not day nor yet awhile

I can see the starlight shining

Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.



Fill the glasses one more time

And never heed the empty bottle

Turn the water into wine

And turn the party up full throttle



Don't go out into the cold

Where the wind and rain are blowing

For the fire is flaming gold

And in here the music's flowing



Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is gleaming

Fill my glass, I’ll sing a song

And we'll keep the music streaming

Until all the songs are sung


Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.


Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.

I want to buy the sheet music for 'The Butterfly'.

[Icefire]

I care because music is very influential and I don't like how this one could influence certain people. We don't need more drunkards in this world...Although, it should be noted that I don't actually have an issue with people drinking. I have an issue with people getting drunk.

The sheet music for the Butterfly can be found in The Greatest Journey piano book AND in the Celtic Woman songbook. And yes, it is the part for the violin NOT the piano.

[Tiria Wildlough]

For me, it's the tune, not the words. I listen to Nil Se'n La every day (except for a few days when I had to get new earphones).

[Icefire]

To a certain extent, you're right. It's not important. However, everyone should be careful about what they listen to (/watch/read) because, whether you realize it or not, it will impact you somehow. Although this song isn't as bad as some, there are some really cool sounding songs out there with really bad messages. Just something to be aware of...

Just so you know, Tiria, I'm not specifically trying to pick on you. I know a lot of good people who listen to Nil Se'n La with no problems whatsoever AND I thoroughly enjoyed it at the concert I went to. This is something I have to be really careful of for myself because almost anything I listen to can get stuck in my head and the longer it's in my head the more likely it is to get into my heart and change the way I look at things....even to the point that I look at things opposed to scripture (very gradual and it doesn't take me long to realize it and repent).

[Tiria Wildlough]

No, I never thought you were picking on me. I'm generally more impacted by movies and stuff.
Let's talk about something else.

[Nightfire]

I think it's really cool. And I'm gonna do some digging and see if I can find just the instrumental version of Nil Se'n La.
