Music in this video:
Horslips - the Tain
open.spotify.com/album/0nxIa7...
Decemberists - the Tain
• The Tain
thought this channel was much more popular just from the production value alone. great video man very well done
The Decemberists brought me here. Really enjoyed your retelling of the Tain and the travelogue and sights of Ireland to accompany the story!
You have a fine taste sir 😜 thanks!
sick ferdia!
I hope you do a video about the death of CuChulainn. An epic story that deserves its own video.
Great storytelling, great art too! ☘️🎶👏
Thank you! I was just (re) listening to the Horslips album, and happened upon your fascinating video. It really put flesh on the bones of the tale for me.
Currently studying for a folklore exam and came across your video. I really loved your retelling of the táin - taking the viewers on a field trip, making the story come alive in beautiful artwork and using the music to underline the drama. You’re a great storyteller! I think this will make it much easier for me to remember the the various plot points. Thanks!
I'm glad! Best of luck with the exam! 🤞🏽☘️🤞🏽
Love this retelling of the story. For another perspective Pat Mills recreated a lot of these stories with his Slaine MacRoth graphic novels.
Nice. Thanks for sharing your culture. ❤❤❤
You did a great job on this! Just a random Decemberists fan from Idaho here. I've learned so much. Thank you and your friends and family!!❤
Haha that's great! They're fantastic, I hope you approved of my track selection and usage! 😬 Thanks for saying hi!
@@unOrdinaryWorld haha I've listened to it hundreds of times, so it was a treat to hear the rest of your selections!
@@Michael-bf1dt and a very Happy New Year to you!!! 🤗
Now that was well worth a bit of a delay in a 2 hour soprano saxophone practice session, indeed! Loved it!
The moral of the story: When it comes to war, what the two sides are fighting for is often eventually lost and overall, nobody really wins.
😂 back to that sax you! Glad you enjoyed James 🙌🏽
@@unOrdinaryWorld I did get back to the sax. Thanks. 2 yours turned into 3 hours somehow, though. I'm not sure how it happened.
I see great things in store for you in the future based on a very solid foundation that you're building today. I just reread what I wrote and though it sounds kind of like a cliche, I really believe it.
Great video! It totally helped me understand the story much better! I told want to visit these places. Beautiful places!
loved it. Especially the soundtrack!
What a great video. Exciting and captivating from beginning to end, just as it should be. I enjoyed every detail. Another fantastic job Ferdia. Thanks! 🦇
Wow this was so cinematic 👏
Impressive story telling Ferdia, maybe you’re the answer to utilising the tourist potential of our historic trails.
I enjoyed the sheep chewing and the crow nodding in time to the music!
It's the little things! 😝😝
Fantastic. Appeared in my recommended and hoping that you will in others! Keep up the good work. You've got a new subscriber.
Welcome along, glad you enjoyed! 🏍️💨
I hope that anyone watching this knows how ancient, and how much history is here, from the tale to the fields in the background. Those fields have seen so much. And Cu Chulainn is maybe the most overlooked ancient bad ass mf'er.
Because of Irelands amazing, and often times very sad and troubling history, I was born in the US and raised through foster and adoption agencies; had a chance 10 years ago to find my family... my families on both sides were on the periphery of this or possibly involved...(I say as assumed fact, since those ditches/bulwarks indicate there was really conflict at the time between Connacht and Ulster) since my mothers side were Tully's from Cavan---not Floods, but Teallach Eathach (to get into ancient stuff 1% of the population anywhere knows about, I guess)... and father was an O'Carroll, Ely O'Carroll, which claim lineage to Cian, the son of Ailill Aulom, whose dynasty was the rival of Connacht on it's southern border. Just the imagery of places I hope to someday see myself is excellent.
Nice video man! Excellent storytelling... I love stuff like this so much; sometimes I wish there was more stuff like this for a stateside audience, given the misconceptions or conflations/confusions or lack of knowledge Americans have on what is like 32% of our populations (White, Black, and Latino) claimed heritage.
Maybe we need a Cu Chulainn film...? 😏 So glad you enjoyed this, fascinating to read about your lineage, I hope you get to come here yourself in the future ✌🏽🥰☘️
Huge thanks to the two awesome artists for their work on this one, do check out their socials, it's worth it 😉👏🏽😎
Subscribed liked and shared!!! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! 😁
Very interesting and captivating video and excellent narrations on the historical facts to mythology and vice versa, smooth and so clearly expressed with such passion! Love the cute sheep with its black face chewing! Truly enjoy this video with such intriguing story with the beautiful raw countryside of Irish heartland. The cave seems very low ,claustrophobic , though. And the artwork… pretty cool. Thank you very much Ferdia for this fantastic video ! Excellent work!👍👍👍
The cave actually goes 7 meters deeper, we only sat in the entrance! Was a...strange place with...strange feelings 👻👻
@@unOrdinaryWorld I see. Sounds spooky , though😃! Just right for 🎃 Halloween, Ferdia!
Truly fascinating. Somehow I wasn't paying attention yesterday so I just watched it now--late on Nov. 1. Maeve was so cool. And she knew exactly what curse would incapacitate men 🙀🥴. Love your own dramatic interpretations and all the voices. Art work is amazing. Thanks, Ferdia.
Samhain continues into the 1st so you're not late at all, if anything you're as on time as you can be, the Morrigan is happy 😜
Amazing video. Well done!
Thanks very much!
Thank you for this amazing documentary, I really loved it, so far my favourite and you've made my Halloween evening even more special with the premiere. I had to watch it again because I missed the first 6 minutes and because it definitely worth watching again! Great job, congratulations to you and your team! :)
Ferdia so fun for Halloween , my first video to celebrate this holiday. I will definately read the transcript and view again to see all the sights, the map, your engaging narrative, and as always, the beautiful music you select. Happy Halloween my friend. jt
And to you Joy! 👻👻
Fabulous 🤩
