Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian
An Daoine og is a chail 'na dhiadh
Fol lol the doh fol the day

Imtheochaidh a dtainig ariamh
An duine og is a chail ne dhiadh
Fol lol the doh fol the day

100% Goosebumps - even on the 1000th hearing
Yes ❤
No matter how many times I hear this it always sends a shiver down my spine.
I admire the mystic feel to this song. Spiritually uplifting.
This was also in the film Patriot Games. It was used in a clever way to emphasise the impact of the previous series about the Northern Irish problems .
same for me it's one of those songs that does that anyone from this era
Me too ! 😯
Jaysus, right??
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Celtic through and through.
just music originating from humans in a different place
Irish not celtic. We are not all one entity. To use the term celtic doesn't give recognition to a very irish song about a very irish issue.
@@aine7173 Thats true.
But the poignancy of this song is even more appreciated when one considers the backdrop.
A British Cabinet minister had been assassinated in London by the IRA.
So the British sent their best man (an SAS Captain who happened to be Irish ) into Belfast to find the assassin and kill him.
It was how their meeting unfolded that made the song so heart wrenching.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Written in Ireland in the 1980s as the opening to a UK crime-drama.
My uncle was killed by the IRA back in the 1970s, what a waste of life the troubles have been, on both sides. How many families torn apart? Such a tragic part of history. Let's hope that peace will continue there and the rifts healed, and that the dead will rest
@@Roadmaster2006 like I said what a waste. How is it that humans can do these things to one another? Killing and raping and murdering innocent people. I've never understood it
Mooi nummer, schrijf of mail in het Nederlands zal niet veel begrijpen de spanningen in Engeland, Noord Ierland en Ierland. Ben zelf katholiek, maar in Nederland kan ik het goed vinden met anders gelovigen zo lang we respect vol omgaan met elkaar, en dat gaat goed in Nederland. Wens iedereen het allerbeste, iedereen verdiend een gelukkig leven met zijn dierbare familie en vrienden.
@Dan's Sniper School
we'll find you....or your family. 'tis no threat, it's a promise.
Well it's not IRAs fault for thousands of years of oppression and slavery from the Brits
@J. wanker
For years I’ve loved the song ‘Saltwater’ by Chicane and had no idea the hook was a sample of this song until I was watching Patriot Games on TV one night and recognized it during the scene where the IRA assassins come to O’Donnell’s house. I immediately ran to search up this song, and boy I’m so glad I found it. What a beautiful and haunting piece of music.
It hits on a different level, I lived through the troubles and lost many loved ones, blessings to you and your family🌻🌻
Chicane / Saltwater... now i recognize it!
Glad u did .!!!. Good health to enjoy it.😊
Watched Patriot Games in the late 1990's as a teen and never forgot this song. Crazy to find it all these years later. Great music
That’s me holding my temper Jimmy boy!
That’s where I first heard it too
It's been used other times. I think in some Tom Clancy movie with Harrison Ford.
.
@@BobSmith-dk8nw the movie you’re talking about is patriot games.
Ok. Now watch "Harry's Game".
Lived through the 80s near London. I never understood why someone would want to bomb my school. We had bomb threats every term. We were afraid and many reacted angrily. Too many have died on both sides. It has mostly stopped but there is a serious undercurrent.
The take away... Don't pass your hatreds into the next generation. No good thing will come of it.
I live in London and have done since 1979 some of the things since then would've blown most peoples minds especially those across the Atlantic or anyone born after 1990 .Strikes , protests , wars , riots , terrorist threats almost on the daily , communism against capitalism and even eco disasters .
Yet it happens. Unfortunately there are still quite a few 'bitter ones' on both sides, nationalist and unionist.
My mum was from County Cork and spoke Gaelic. She loved this song and it always reminds me of her and her love of the true Irish language. R.I.P Breda. Forever loved and missed. Vich noch dio lat. ❤❤xxx
My heart goes out to you.
The love of a child and parent is one of the most powerful forces on earth. God bless you and yours.
I hope the following short video is a blessing to you.

For anyone that doesn't understand the musical connection.
Harry's Game produced in the 80's about the troubles in Northern Ireland.
A British Army agent is sent to the heart of Belfast to track down a gunman responsible for the killing of a British politician. It's an incredibly powerful drama. Adapted from a book by Gerald Seymour really worth a watch.
I only just found it , only prob is only free one was on you tube so I couldn't get into it so gonna buy it , but I could tell from the first 20 min this was truly the 80s and the ira with kinda defined each other
I'm Irish ,though I live in New Zealand.Met a big heavily built britt with a strong southwest english accent.he wore heavy black military boots .He had recently imigrated to New Zealand.He realisied my surname and he being careful told me he was in the british army.I asked him why he left,his reply" I was shit scared of being posted to Northern Ireland" .I mentioned Harry's Game,that was the end of the conversation.
A briiliant film.👍
Gaelic Music
as an england born person,I wish the people born in ireland peace and a realisation people live on land and not in a religion
I remember the entrancing end to the final Episode to " Harry's Game" as the credit titles came scrolling up and Enya came softlying bringing an out standing series to an end . Bless her .As a West Wales welshman I felt every note .
My husband and I are watching the Patriot games. So I decided to look up this song and here it is. Joined UA-cam channel. 🎶❤🎶
So beautiful, can stop listening ...
This song is one of the most haunting songs I know makes you reflect on people no longer here. ❤
A great book, a great series and the music is otherworldly beautiful.
2.words "Haunting and Beautiful".
I went to see Clannad with my ex.hubby at Lincoln. It was a beautiful evening, and we had a picnic. Lovely memory.
The most haunting piece of music ever recorded
Gerard White almost
She has the voice of an angel! Sounds like this music is coming straight out of heaven!
agreed.. its haunted m since i was born.
Also the track maire brennan did with sonny condell Downrunning is on par but far lesser known
A close second to Adagio in G Minor
Perfect enough to listen to for the death of Queen Elizabeth II
Farewell your Majesty
When I first heard this song, it haunted me so much that I became obsessed to find out more about Gaelic & this mysterious Irish group 'clan as dobhar' aka Clannad. Started to collect their Albums (very difficult at the time far away in the western Caribbean), but I built it slowly starting with Anam, Banba & PastPresent. Then came 'The Last of The Mohicans' & thx to the P2P Networks, I was able to get the rare traditional gems like An Diolam, Cran Ull, Dulaman, Fuaim, Legend, Rogha, etc....I'll NEVER get tired of Clannad. After Enigma, they're my all-time favorite group!
"Rare traditional gems" like Fuaim and Crann Úll, that are currently widely-available on Universal Records and are, in fact, going half-price on vinyl in Ireland.
@@mike_mcgb On Vinyl! Wow....I gotta visit Ireland, one for the retirement Bucket list yes!!
@@MadScientyst Down to €12 at the country's last remaining chain of high-street record shops!
This song will forever be connected to the troubles.
This is one of those songs that you never want to end
And yet it is only 2:30 minutes. Cruel.
It's so short so many wonderful songs need to be longer this needs like most have if it hasn't remix,12inch to extended most great songs deserve too
Always loved Irish music, Because I'm from Finland.
Me too dear! And i am from the Netherlands..
@@harryr2 Dan hou je zeker ook van Frans Bauwer?
If you are Irish and you love Irish music then you must also love B*witched and Westlife 🤣🤣😅😅
@@TELESHIT324 Wie niet !
@@harryr2 ik! 😂
Rest in glory, Padraig and Noel. Your spirits will live forever in the music you left for us ❤️❤️❤️
@chrisbloodknot2380 The Gaelic version of Patrick, these days there is no shame in carrying a name that has been Gaelicised.
So both of them have died?? I knew about one, some years ago. But didn't know about the other.
@@darreng745 you see paddy is a good riish soul but if there is a pake or pakie in your area then thats a atn too thick to know that peac and peacai (pronounced pake and pakie) means sinful and riddled with sins ..peac being sin ..but shh they are gong around the place earwigging and being loyal to the child rapists and spying and lying for cape drink from the informer class that they are ...
I also knew that one of the twins had died but not the other. I fondly recall dropping into a pub in Dublin one night in 1994 when the World Cup was on in the USA. I started chatting about the football with another bloke propping up the bar, and after we had been chatting for a while he asked where I was from. I replied that it was from Perth, Australia and he told me that he had been there, and his band had played at the Perth Concert Hall. I asked him what was the name of his band, and he replied 'Clannad'. I proceeded to tell him how I had their album PastPresent. It turned out that the bloke was Noel Duigan. We had a good long chat over a few beers. RIP Noel - I shall always remember chatting with you that night in a Dublin pub.
@@BCOZ-nb2lo I worked on a building site back in 1993 in Berlin with a group of Irish. There were three other Irish lads on a different job on the site who kept themselves very much to themselves. The tallest had a limp, something which occurs when the feet come into contact regularly with wet sand. The smallest fellow lost the tip of his finger when a shuttering board slid down over it. One day I dropped a bag of cement from my shoulder and as it was quitting time, I left it there. Three days later I got chatting to the middle sized of the other three lads. He told me that the German foreman was a a b....d and had accused him to leaving the bag of cement out. It was the middle of winter and cement does not take kindly to temperatures below zero. He told me that he could not speak German and the only word he could use to get across his displeasure was the word 'scheisse'. He went on to tell me he was part of the group Clannad but left as there was too much internal wrangling. Don't ask me which of the twins it was but I am sorry to hear that one of them has passed on. I am sorry too that I did not own up and take the blame.
Mythical beauty, this song. Best of humanity...
a powerful song , may it heal many wells never forgotten
Loved this group from the moment Harrys Game came out the haunting music the clear and beautiful voice havebeen lucky enough to see them many times
This beautiful piece of music was played at my cousin's funeral. It is the 4th anniversary of his passing. 😥💙
Claire Dainton sorry for your loss.
May your cousin rest in peace 💙🙏
Rest in peace. Stay strong Claire! ❤️
My condolences
🙏
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 Thank you 🫶
This is a beautiful piece of music. It has stirred my soul since the first time I heard it years ago.
Loon
@@davidfelix2594 if a piece of music like this hasn't touched the very core of your being then honestly you must have no heart or soul..Because this piece of music stirs up and invokes such emotion in a person, that can't be quantified or measured respectively!!
Yeah it’s incredible. From that first synth note to Maire’s awesome voice. It’s perfection
Same mate
It's Ireland...those voices from Clannad, including Enya are my Irish soul...make me teary at times.
"Harry's Game" was broadcast once on Italy's RAI TV in the early 1980s in the late hour. No one understood the plot, although I loved this poignant melody. Ten years later, Ireland and Irish music became popular in Italy and the "Theme" was the soundtrack of an ice cream commercial.
RIP Noel, so sad, still listening to you.
This band was ridiculously talented.
Enya's eldest sister is the lead singer.
I didn't know that
Whoa that’s a trip..... I love Enya and I just discovered this bunch recently I had no idea that they were sisters but I totally see the resemblance now.... wow that’s why I love checking the comments section lol
@@jonramsey6348 yes they are from a village here in Donegal, the Gaeltacht area. Clannad are amazing. The whole family play instruments. Humble and talented.
Moya Brennan or in English Marie Brennan
@@GAZMAN3510 Moya is English, Máire Irish, but obviously same pronouncation
I love the scene in Patriot Games when Patrick Bergin's character is sat watching this on TV in his isolated cottage whilst those assassins approach.
"This is me holding my temper Jimmy boy"
After the attempt to kill him, his girlfriend shot Jimmy
With an appropriate thunder storm coming
Some of the most gangster isht ever... he has a Armsel Striker 12 gauge shotgun, sipping tea
Yes, watching the movie right now on hulu
I played this at my dad’s funeral a year ago, he was from Ireland.🇮🇪
R.I.P your Dad. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
May he Rest Well ☘️ 🇮🇪
Really?Lucky him,that way he was spare from listen to that p.o.s.
I totally get this song . My deepest condolences 🙏 . I play this very offen lost my sister in 1981.
I also commented on wanting one of Clannad songs played at my funeral and it is hard to choose as they all give me goosebumps but yesterday I managed to narrow it down lol! peace and love to you!:)
Her voice melts my very bones. So beautiful. 😢
Such a haunting piece of music
What a lady. Cilia could really belt a song out. She will be remembered by me
This music gives me goosebumps beautiful.
Close your eyes and simply float away. It's so ethereal. It does send you somewhere else. Very few songs have that kind of affect or impact. Agree it sends a shiver to the spine!
I first heard this song when I watched Patriot Games. Whenever I hear this song, it never fails to bring me to tears. So soulful it is.
That’s me holding my temper Jimmy boy
Same here. I'd never heard of Clannad before Patriot Games.
Same here. Definitely a sound that stays with you.
@@joey1317 Right. Then the big bearded fella gets murdered just after a session in the sack with the young and luscious Polly Walker. My intro to her. Been a fan ever since.
Her voice was indescribable.
For me the song symbolizes the conflict in Northern Ireland and the cancer of hatred that stalked the red-brick streets of Belfast and the hedgerows of south Armagh and the vanishing of Robert Nairac and the starvation of Bobby Sands 🇮🇪☘🇬🇧
Brings me to tears even after all these years, so beautiful.
R.I.P. Noel, yet another star in Heaven.
This song is a masterpiece as the sound of this track still remains modern.
Clannad have always been a great Irish group. This song is class.
So is B*witched Irish Most greatest band ever Cest la vie love that song
I forgot how much I am / was moved by this.
What a masterpiece. This song certainly gives me a subliminal message, making me shiver.
You have to listen to this on a high end system to do this masterpiece justice!!!
Seriously…..the high frequencies on this are so good that I use it to test tweeters.
This has always haunted me, and still it does....such a simple melody, yet those strange notes sustained across the changes gives the Irish pathos an other-worldly feel. A little, unassuming masterpiece....
Words are not enough to say how good this is
I remember the serial Harrys Game and have always loved this music, so haunting, and became a fan of Clannad and later Enya,
Great to be irish 🍀🇮🇪💯
Reminds me of being 21 (in 82) and the feeling of just starting out in life. Time flies
Now T, your post was tantalising .... please tell us (well me) how your life has gone ..., please .I 'm 67 by the way
My Life’s wizzed past too..and I’m 67 …where did time go.. xx
Same age..me to
Time is relative. At 18, standing in the front yard of my parent's home, I imagined what it would be like to be an old man of 70. Now at 70 years old, it feels pretty damn good! I was blessed with a good life, not grand by any means, a loss of loved ones, a divorce and estrangement of my children, but in all that, I was true to my convictions. Life is what a person makes of it.
God bless Ireland!
R.I.P Noel, this beautiful masterpiece will live on forever...thank you for your amazing talent 👏 ❤️
So beautiful and so haunting.
Hauntingly beautiful somg, and vid.
Oh, what a beautiful song... There is music that touches your heart, but this really touches my soul...
Clanad is very inspiring, and should be an inspiration and a reminder to us all especially if we are indigenous lrish people to what we lost as a people of lreland in culture and language that belongs to us. That's why this can never be allowed to happen again. !
Her voice every song she sings is haunting been lucky enough to see them live many times
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard
The 1st record i ever bought age 14.. Had no idea what the words meant but, fell in love with the beautiful haunting melody.. They were troubled times producing such horrors and like this song such exquisite pure beauty.... Full volume, headphones on, dark room. This WILL transcend your soul......
Don't think you need to know what the words mean. It's just utterly beautiful!

One of the best TV program about the troubles in Northern Ireland. I have many friends who service out there and said it true to life. Great song
beautifully haunting and soul moving...
I just finished Harry's game, great book. I love learning about the Irish/English history.
Clannad. - Harry’s Game. This celtic song is hauntingly beautiful. They sing it with such sadness and devotion obviously with some religious innuendos. I’m not sure.
It certainly makes an impression on me each time i hear it. Funnily enough, I can’t help but enjoy it.
Agreed.. this song does things to me that I don't understand and I don't want to.
Beautiful, haunting track.
Haunting classic..timeless
Beautiful stunning Irish band and music never ages only gets more beautiful ☘☘☘☘☘
All these years later it has the power to transport you somewhere else when listening, wonder song , takes me back to 80s Northern Ireland .
Blimmey the most haunting yet beautiful song ever Clannad for ever ✌️✌️🍀🍀🕯️🕯️👍👍 cheers stevo 🍀🍀
Many deployments to Ireland came back in one piece but this music brings a chill to me 😓
So glad I found this song again. The first time I heard it was the end of U2’s Live Under A Blood Red Sky video. I still have that video from 1982
Same :)
Yeah still have that on VHS.
chicken2jail I do too!
I have it on DVD now. I watch it at Christmas.
This is just such a special song in many ways.
It is so magical when all of the vocals fuse together.
No song since or after has sounded anywhere near as good as this.
Timeless.
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Clannad are beautiful ❤️
I get a medieval and mystical feel about this song and i don't know why and i love it 😍
Bless your heart there is alot of sorrow in this song and hope
I was wondering if it was just me lol..... I haven’t a clue what they’re saying but I hear struggle and triumph in their voices..... I’m working at my workbench with this song on repeat
Busy Bee that's because Clannad and Enya sound like Gregorian chant music in a large hall somewhere but sung in Gaelic instead of in Latin
Much older roots than medieval .... think Druid
Very celtic, back wayyy back into the mists of time.... The time of myth and legend.
This is one of the songs that haunted me, years after hearing it somewhere I no longer remember. I didn't know the name of the song or the name of the band. It crossed my mind that the female singer sounded a little like Enya which I love her music... I was shocked to know it is actually her sister! All these years passed and I got shivers down my spine hearing this masterpiece, I felt like I was in a trance of some sorte. Simply incredible!
That happened to me as well since I was a kid in the end 80’s, early 90’s. Then, not too many years ago, I thought this song could probably belong to Anette Cantor which has a really close vocal and vibrato type as Moyan. Enya is fascinating as well since I heard her in 91 for the 1st time, lauching the caribbean blue song, it was like my imaginary world in my 8 years old. I do really think genuine childrens perceive pure thing much closely than adults, so its not strange to like clannad, enya and vangelis from the beginning.
me too Berta

Maybe the most emotional piece of music ever wrote for a number of reasons. Love will overcome..
This is one of most beautiful songs ever since
Timeless and beautiful
This is one of those songs you don’t know the name of, you just know the song. Beautiful music
Simply put, an absolute masterpiece.

Glad that u appreciate clanad.❤😊😊
Haunting
I watched the film and was in tears at the conclusion! Bad men will always win I fear! Song is so beautiful!
A truly beautiful and moving peace of music that somehow captures the anguish and pain of the troubles. I always find it deeply affecting and think of the brutality of those times.
WOW!!!
That's where Chicane "Saltwater" sampled from!
Yep....l liked what he did with it...
We all have a real first floor
One of my greatest memories was being invited to meet the band for about an hour after seeing them in concert in Sheffield. They were extremely interested in my opinions of their music and the concert itself. This meeting saved my life. Driving back home down the motorway the bonnet of my car flew up and wrapped around my windscreen. I could not see a thing and slammed on my brakes and stopped dead in the middle of the motorway. If I had been a hour earlier the road would have been busy and I would not have rated my chances of getting out alive. Thank you Clannad.
Amazing story - thank you.
I watvched Harry's Game in the 80's and I cant watch it again. But ther music I listen to all the time.
Just beautiful, adore Clannad but especially this track. Can't get enough of it🎤🎻🥁
Beautifully haunting piece of music!!
Love it
