If I close my eyes when he sings, I am transported back in time, when only the wildness and longing in his voice are real. This guy is something special.
"""I'm sorry; in Canada, 'anglo' is used mainly to refer to those who speak English as opposed to French. A first-generation Phillipine Canadian who lives in Toronto and speaks English is still an 'anglo' according to most Canadians. It really has little to do with England.""" This is true....In Canada Anglo refers more to those who speak English as a first language as opposed to French, who are termed Franco....
An bhfuil fhois ag aon duine, cár fhaigheann mé na liricí don amhrán seo?? Anyone know where I can find or get the lyrics/tablature for this song?? Please!
I describe myself as "Anglo-Irish", although I grew up speaking French, thanks to my Francophone mother, because that's the direction in which my sympathies and identity lie. My father was a Londoner, as were his parents, though they were of Irish parentage. But call me "Anlgo" simply because I speak the language? I don't think so. I don't buy into the "two solitudes" argument; I think we all need to celebrate our heritages, and the fact that we're Canadian.
I think you'll find William O'Manley is just an English derivation of a German/Central European naming tradition, perhaps represented most basically as something like 'Wilhelm von Manley'. And the earliest writen version of William/Wilhelm/Liam is the Occitan name Guilhem, which interestingly the Irish version (Uilliam) is closer to, due to it's coming into Irish direct from French, and not English. But he's not German, and he's not English, and he's not Occitanian. So he's named Liam Ó Maonlaí.
What a gift from God...to be a Gael..
Even better than that , I’m from cork

Woof!! Great crac! n luv all the humor is the balcony here
I watched so late this video! This is, anyway, true scottish music!

Manley is an anglicization. O Maonlai was being used long before there was an English translation.
Highland?? !!###.... Look that Liam....🍀🎶🌈☀so cute.
i have been studying native american language and cant believe how similar it sounds to the gaelic.
My wife was sitting with her back to me on the bed when I played this and that is EXACTLY what she thought it was !!!!
Great Stuff👍👏👏👏
Love this song !
Liam is a common Gaeilic name for fishermen. It is derived from the norse 'Illieum' meaning sea island.

A group called AfroCelt has fused African and Gaelic music in a techno style.
The Best a every had heard , Liam O Maonlai CD how to get it ??????

Don't you think that sometimes it sound like Tinariwen? I mean, the melody, and structure and even use of language are almost like Tuareg music :D
Hordkorowiec328 I love that band! I guess humans are a little more alike to one each other than we think 😉

Fantastic. I saw someone was asking about a DVD. Is there one to buy? This session is great! Thank you!!!
He's a hottie, and a great singer too.
A blinding song, though bloody difficult to sing (not that my dulcet tones would be conducive to a comfortable pint settling on the stomach!)

I find the similarities, minus the instrumentation of course, to Ladysmoth Black Mombaza, stunning. The way the vocalization is set up.
Beautiful.
Is this song Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic - sorry as a Sassenach I can't tell the difference?
@grunge160 this is irish.....
Great Song! What the name of the Tune after the song? Does anyone know by chance?
"An dTiocfaidh Tú Abhaile Liom" (Will you come home with me)
Rolling Wave (in G)
Go raibh mile maith agat Liam, mo chara... TLC x.
Anybody know the name of the whistle he is playing?
Be still my beating heart!

We could get deep into political debate here, but I suggest we simply open a couple of Blue and enjoy the music, eh? Or Ex, if you'd rather.
It is in it's hole....don't be silly!
