Suantraí- original song by Catherine McCrystal
A little lullaby.
Suantraí (soo-an-tree) is the Irish for lullaby.
Stark contrast to the angrier songs of late 😁
This is me pushing my voice to both its highest and lowest range 🎶
Enjoy 💚

Bad Blood- original song by Catherine McCrystal

Just a song. Blood relatives, eh? More simplistic lyrics than what I usually write, but think they work well with the song. Enjoy ❤️ Music and lyrics Copyright © Catherine McCrystal February 2025

Go easy on me for this attempt at a video 🤣 Shout out to my daughter, Ara for helping me navigate something which is objectively easy but beyond my skillset 😁 I changed the key ever so slightly for this recording, and the tempo is slightly faster too. Enjoy 🧡 Lyrics and music Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025

Thanks for all the title suggestions 😊 Realised when I finished it that fire was the main component/motif so I went with this title. Hope you enjoy xx Music and Lyrics Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025
Nina Cried Power- Hozier cover by Catherine McCrystal

I have a daughter called Nina and she is a fire-cracker 🔥💪 I've done this one before but it was a few years ago and I think my guitar playing has progressed enough to make an improved version 😁 Ridiculous number of takes because of the number or chord progression and tempo changes- but I got there!

Sometimes you just look at the state of things and stick your two fingers up at the world, or moreso those 'in charge'. Was feeling that this morning when this song poured out. It's far from the finished product I reckon but I'll keep playing around with it. Enjoy it in its infant state Lyrics and music Copyright © Catherine McCrystal January 2025

Just a bit of fun messing around with style/genre. Reckon I could make bluesy versions of all my songs 🤣 Let me know what you think ❤️ (Note: kids screaming in background were having fun- nothing to worry about 😁)

Thank you, John 😊
Love it ❤,y celtic soul😊
💚
@catherinemccrystal9391 🥰👍
@catherinemccrystal9391 is Yr name really mc crystal
@lornemcneil it really is 💎
Well, of course what I could I say that Robin hasn't already stated more eloquently 😅 Seriously, though, your singing on this is outstanding: top, bottom and middle range! The lyrics are sweet without being saccharine, and your guitar accompaniment is perfect! Love this one! 🤩
Thanks, Johnny 😊 I really appreciate such a thoughtful response 🌟
The interlude oooos are great. Wonder 🤔 how verses would sound in a higher range too
To answer your question: like a strangled cat 🙀 😂 For those higher notes I have to use my head voice and if I did this with the lyrics, using chest voice, it would break, and if in head voice it would be like opera singing. I could change the key to allow all of it to be sung higher but more comfortably in my range, though I feel it would lose something. Great question! ❤
@catherinemccrystal9391 ha, I get that answer for sure! :)
Great song, like friend 👍👌🎼
Appreciate you 😊
A very peaceful and comforting song ,Beautiful .Well preformed. .
Thank you ❤
Clap clap clap clap 😊
Thanks, Lou 😊
Rest those weary eyes now Lull your mind to calm I know that fear too well, love For just like you, I am I'll wrap my love around you Whisper while you weep Feel your heartbeat hushing As I sing you off to sleep If the storm clouds get too heavy If the chatter will not cease Return to me for stillness Together we'll find peace Lyrics Copyright © Catherine McCrystal February 2025
I'm sitting here clothed to the eyeballs in a very cold house and you, my good friend, have lifted my spirits to a much warmer place. This is absolutely gorgeous, Catherine; an awesomely beautiful song. I don't just love it, my good friend, I adore it. Stunning words and melody, and the chorus - wow, wow, wow. Your voice in this lower register is up, up, up there with the very best. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. I think I might like this one. lol 😊😊😊
@robinrendellwordman8182 you always make me smile with your comments. I'm happy you enjoyed the song as I enjoyed composing it 😊
OH yes this is so getting shared everywhere!!! My daughters, my facebook friends, myself... 🎶🎶🦋🐦🔥
@@Aesops_AdventurersI take it you like it then 😂 Seriously, thank you for your kind words 🌟

@@WeekendCrooner thanks so much! 🧡
Beautiful guitar playing and singing!!
@@a-laise thank you 💗
Your vocals are excellent on this one! I love the rhythm and chord progression. I always enjoy your music!
@@joedewberry thanks Joe- so glad you enjoy my music 🎶
Love this, Catherine! You inspired me a while back to check out Lisa O'Neill and so I did. Lo and behold when YT served me up her singing this one, it also served me your video. Nicely done--spare and haunting.
@@TomPennerMusic yay! So glad you looked her up. She's special
Love this piece of indignation and anger. Powerfully delivered. Love the vocals.
@@colinbrown210 thank you ⭐️
Beautiful song Catherine. Shades of Michelle Shocked. Love the lyrics.
@@colinbrown210 thanks, Colin! Cheers for stopping by to listen 🧡
Une écoute au casque avec un très joli son ! Très jolie performance vocale avec un discret et efficace accompagnement guitare. C’est top ! 🙏👍
Thank you so much! 😊
C’est très joliment interprété ! Bravo 👍
Another great song ,Well preformed,Sounds very good,Your style is unique, you get better and better.Well done.
That's really kind of you both to say- you've made my day 😊
this is so good!! you remind of Florence+The Machine. i really enjoyed this. 🔥
@@Paul.Jr.Wayling epic compliment there- thank you! I'll be buzzing all day now 😁
your voice is 👌. you’re a natural. i love this 🔥🔥
@@Paul.Jr.Wayling thank you so much for listening and for your lovely comment ⭐️
❤
@@Nowheremt 🧡
Love this, Catherine! Lyrics are not expansive, but they don't need to be given the serious blues under consideration here. It's got the fingerprints of the Delta all over it, from the guitar to the vocalizing. Are there deltas where you are? Cos this has some serious Odetta vibes. Nicely done!
@@TomPennerMusic had to look up to see if there were. I've not been but apparently there's Blessington delta in Wicklow. I'll have to go visit now! I wasn't going for blues specifically- it's just what came out of my mouth when I opened it 🤣 Again, just the vessel 🤩
Great song, beautifully performed
Thank you, Cas- appreciate the lovely comment
Hello, bravo 👏👏👏👍
@@DJACKDJACK-b7n thank you 😁
Fantastic lyrics ,and the vocal tones are lovely, 😊
Thank you! 😊
@catherinemccrystal9391 Yr welcome I think it nice y take the time to reply to others, if y grow to bigger you will have to get Yr pr officer to reply 😉 👍😁😁
@lornemcneil don't think there's much risk of that happening 😂 But thanks for your encouragement 🎉
@catherinemccrystal9391 you said risk not chance, y may be right ,I'm sure there is something to be said for the quiet life as my gran said to me,or I read it again 🤪😁👍
@catherinemccrystal9391 all true music is created for the love of it
wow this a great song with great words. sounds awesome! 🔥
@@Paul.Jr.Wayling thank you 🤩
Love this, Catherine- your voice is ace. Can hear this on a detective series soundtrack, something Coen brothers
What a compliment- thank you- love the Coen Brothers 🙌
It's great to hear new compositions . You did a great job on this excellent vocals 🎉🎉
@@johnstott1958thanks, John 😊
Wow, your voice on this!! 🤯🤯 You always sing beautifully, but this is just incredible. Absolutely love the lyrics, and can I say "Amen!" 👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Johnny! Amen, indeed 😂
Slick loop great stuff
Good one Catherine. Simple, done perfectly, is better than complex. And you did that! Your voice is wonderful. I know several people to whom this song applies to their blood relatives. 😁
Infinitely relatable 😂
I’m beginning to think my enthusiasm and eager expectation for a new original song from you, Catherine, knows no bounds. This is by any measure a wonderful song, my good friend, and that hauntingly beautiful voice of yours leaves me lost for words.
Thank you, Robin. Not as many images in this one, but you have to have variety 😊
@@catherinemccrystal9391 One of life's spices, Catherine, but there were open eyes, my good friend. lol. 🙂
