I played it at my late brothers funeral. He was military, I was even more moved when I found out the Gealic meaning is about a young soldier leaving his reputation behind him.. All the very best to you and your wife. May you both have a long and happy life together ❤
beautiful performance !! remember growing up in Poland my n my friends were watching Robin Hood tv series and soundtrack by Clannad was magical piece of music for us - one of a kind... i live in Ireland now :-)
I lived in Germany as a teenager in the 1980s (my dad is retired U.S. Army). I watched "Robin of Sherwood" religiously every Sunday. I loved the setting and mystical elements of it, including the music. I wasn't familiar with Clannad at the time, but I still have their "Themes" CD from 1992 - so many great tracks, including this and a handful from Robin. Such timeless music!
@wolfsky3875 oh yes wonderful the Theme and Music from "Robin, "'The Hooded Man". Many do not remeber this lovely music. I liked the Series. From Australia here.
To look at you would never guess but when she sings you immediately know this is Enyas Sister. Another hauntingly beautiful voice and the song is just stunning 👌
@@mywishLE Maire Brennan when she was younger, in a video I saw the resemblance of Enya! I love both their beautiful voices! The harmonies they produce even when live are truly astonishing!
Hi there moya its Theresa here from new Zealand in Auckland i love clannads music ive always loved Celtic music because of the Irish decent and heritage i love you
My mum told me about the theme to one of her favourite shows, told me it was so moving and I was not dissapointed, this is one of the best live performances I know of.
Every time this song comes out,I remember patrolling in the rain, standing on a road whilst a RUC officer talking with a local driver going to work,and at anytime wondering if I would get blown up or shot ,unsettling time.
I discovered this song only yesterday and I have played it non stop...I am in love with Moya and this song! I know what its about but it still is obsessive to me.
Im a protestant from a predominantly loyalist town but i can truly appreciate beauty when i hear it . Gaelic is such a beautiful language especially when accompanied by music . These harmonies are just angelic !
As soon as I hear the opening sound the hair stands up on the back of my neck.I was in Belfast 2015 ,you could cut through the air ,the distaste still hangs in the air.The memory will stay with me forever,a gruff local said to me "A page oh you in the book, catholic tell by the look oh ya".
Haven't seen anyone commenting this yet, but one of the 'classic' dance/rave songs, and a beloved one is 'Saltwater' by chicane. Which any fans of this song will find familiar, and is what made me a fan of Máire Brennan. Although I've been a fan of folk music, from Celtic to Russian to Mongolian since I heard it. Also Motorheard. Music is life.
The old man, grey with torment, will go, The most beautiful skylark on the branch will go, The young man will go, and his reputation will follow him, All that ever will come and has come will go.
I watched the series that this was the Theme for I never seen a TV drama series that summed up a period so well. The utter futility of lives lost. I still cry many years later not just the music but all those lives. God help them and me!
Irish lyrics (except the chorus) are "Imeoidh an seanfhear atá cráite liath, Imeoidh an fhuiseog is áilne ar an gcraoibh, Imeoidh an duine óg is a cháil ina dhiaidh Imeoidh a dtiocfaidh is a dtáinig ariamh." Translates as "The old man, grey with torment, will go, The most beautiful skylark on the branch will go, The young man will go, and his reputation will follow him, All that ever will come and has come will go."

One of the the most haunting songs ever.
Wish it was longer. ❤️
Celts...

The simplicity of this song makes it a masterpiece
It's just phenomenal. The whole arrangement is sensational.
her and her sister enya have 2 of the most beautiful haunting voices
Agreeed
This was the first album I ever bought, inspired by hearing this on Harry's Game. 35 years on I am still as moved by it. Timeless and beautiful.
She's as beautiful as the song.
Yes she is
She gets better with age. Love this performance
My wife walked down the isle to this song, just amazing.
Congratulations to you both 👍

The most angelic voice I've ever heard.

This is the most beautiful version of Harry's game I've ever listened
This is absolutely beautiful and her voice is perfection ❤
Makes me proud to be from County Donegal. Eirinn go Bra'ch.

Cheers didn't know that & beautiful 🌹

I used to sit watching this song on TV in the 90's, silently sitting, drinking whisky, me and Patrick Bergin
The most beautiful voice on earth.
Hauntingly beautiful, mo ghrai
For those of you who don't know they did a song with Bono called "In a Lifetime" and it was pretty good. Well worth a listen.
Wasn't it just PERFECT ❤️

Magnificent, truly haunting. The Film is a hard watch as well.
Was a section commander in Crossmaglen , South Armagh.when this came out , memories not good ,bad crazy times
God bless you my friend for being in Northern Ireland.

I am a native good luck in your future endeavors 😉🍀
@@marklloyd4087 I know exactly that feeling mate ,all ways wondered if that day would be my last
Saw them live in Australia { Melbourne} early 1980s, Enya was with them then , wonderful Concert

Enya is her Sister.
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 Yes, she is her sister.
Heard it for the first time today on the sustaining service before my radio show, I was moved to tears
Always remember this song and watching Harry's gamed
Harry's Game was a depressing movie. And this haunting song just made it profound.
NowI'mMe was a Tv series
the mantric simple structure is a masterpiece of its class ... timeless beauty!
Im a protestant from a predominantly loyalist town but i can truly appreciate beauty when i hear it . Gaelic is such a beautiful language especially when accompanied by music . These harmonies are just angelic !
Goose bumps….. 😢
Chilling but beautiful at the same time
WOW.... Goosebumps an just 20 seconds in.

Beautiful, spine tingling song! Thank you.
Man, she/they nailed it live too!❤️🍀
I’ve been searching for this song for 25 years. I thought this was sang by enya. Thank you film 4
I have seen them live a few times, simply brilliant and her voice is amazing live, bravo!
So lucky.
Her voice is soooooo Beautiful
So is she x
Proud to be irish when I listen to this song, so haunting and inspirational, so talented, and simply amazing.
Takes me to the most amazing place, ❤️
the only song I've never heard without crying ...

That's right. Lukely the mix with Saltwater is still ok. Other songs are completely ruined a dance mix.
Just love listening to this,,,,,,,, fantastic piece!!!
Beautiful voices! Absolutely fantastic!
When you have gaelic blood but people cannot see it. I feel it and know it
A very attractive paddy you are madam
I feel it too.
An absolute one-off song.. Clannad, you're geniuses musicians....
Love this song - and Moira is so beautiful
Timeless Classic.
The purest of all voices
Amazing! They smashed it singing live xxx
Amazing
great command, great family, thnx ...
This touches my soul
Was this live? Seriously?
If his was really done live, then it is without a doubt one of the best, most "recorded" sounding performances ever.
Wow!
Search "Clannad: Live at Christ Church Cathedral" 1:04:19

Moya, I have to salute you, a most beautiful voice from a very beautiful lady.
Absolutely outstanding.

The most beautiful skylark on the branch will go,
The young man will go, and his reputation will follow him,
All that ever will come and has come will go.
Beautiful words.
Farewell tour restarts in UK October.,unforgettable song this,hauntingly beautiful.
Brilliant.
Ich liebe diese Stimme
Grandiose💝🙏
Thanks you
A beautiful gaze has she.
As a jobbing muso, I was lucky int the 1980's, Belfast in a BBC TX show to shake the hand of this hugely taelanted woman.
I am clueless what this song is about and don’t want to know either. This is pure magic to me and I’d like to keep it that way.
Feel the beauty in our mother tongue 💚
A privalage thank you :)
Nothing simple about this song... This is a lament to our generational fight for freedom and break the chains of oppression
From what?
Супер!!!
Lovely
Ive always been haunted by this song.
Emmotional music i like to call it.
I watched the series that this was the Theme for I never seen a TV drama series that summed up a period so well. The utter futility of lives lost. I still cry many years later not just the music but all those lives. God help them and me!
Gorgeous 💗 Moira is just 🌹🏵️ beautiful that's it
