I absolutely love 'A New Journey'. ;D My favourite ANJ song is either Granuaile's Dance, or Newgrange, or...I can't decide! :-\ :D

One of my absolute favorites is "The Butterfly" just because it's played with the violin, and is really fast-paced.

I love ANJ! That's the only complete album I own so far... Granuaile's Dance is Awesome!!! As is the Butterfly!
Tiria, have you learned any Celtic Woman songs on the violin? I wish I could play violin!
Have you ever read the translation of Si Do Mhaimeo I? It makes me laugh!
Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

@Icefire: I looked up the English version of 'Si Do Mhaimeo I'. HEEHEEHEE. Here they are:

She's your granny, she's your granny
She's your granny, the hag with the money
She's your granny from the town of Iorrais Mór
And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige

If you'd see the steam boat going past Tóin Uí Loing'
And the wheels turning speedily at her flanks
She'd scatter the store nine times to the rear
But she never keeps pace with the hag with the money

[Chorus]

Do you reckon he'd marry, do you reckon he'd marry
Do you reckon he'd marry the hag with the money?
I know he'll not marry, I know he'll not marry
Because he's too young and he'll drink the money

[Chorus]

We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village
We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
Between Séan Séamais Mór and Máire Ní Chathasaigh

Yup. Hey, guess what? I got the DVD of their concert in Dublin, Ireland! It was awesome! Especially when they did "Orinoco Flow" and "The Butterfly!"

The one where they were at Helix? I'm so jealous! jk!
They've got so many good ones on there! The Butterfly, Send me a Song, Soft Goodbye (although I must say that I prefer Lisa K's solo version), Si Do Mhaimeo I, The Contradiction...

@Icefire: I LOVE The Contradiction! Hmm...I need to watch it on YouTube. :)
So...which is your favourite Celtic woman, so to speak? I like Máiréad Nesbitt because she plays violin, and also Órla Fallon.

Ho boy! How do I answer that one?
Ok, Lynn has my favorite voice and Lisa K. has my second favorite voice, but I like more of Lisa's songs so I'm still trying to decide who's my favorite.
Órla's third place no matter who ends up on second and third!

Hooray for another CW fan!
