surprising cognate: Irish "rún" meaning secret and Old English "run" meaning "secret". This word survived into the words "rune" and "roun," the latter word being an archaic word for "secret, mystery."
I never knew 'rún' was cognate with rune. Thought it was just a lovely coincidence!
Are you talking about the Norse run?
Rún and rune are cognate. Writing was magical or secret. Further Rúnaí in Irish means Secretary but also referred to a scribe, not to be confused with a scríobhneor or writer of stories.
I love making connections in language. Good thinking
@@daraorourke5798 Old Germanic : ( Old English, Old Norman and etc) alphabets Runic writing or Runs also means " Secret"
When the Irish sing a love song like this, time stands still.
Time stands … STILL. O my Deity. Are you single… available and or am I too old for you
@@marekvollach7831 Sorry, I am happily married! But thanks!
Amen
❤this true 🎉
Irishman here. Absolutely love how passionate you are about this and the huge effort you've gone to to understand Irish and how to speak and pronounce it so well.
also an irishman here, i agree with everything you just said
Irish beluga
Would that more young Irish people who learn would do the same. Maybe we'd have less of the phonetically English Gaelscoilis and 'urban' Irish and more of the real stuff
@@_string Is Éireannach mé freisin. Ach is mór an trua go bhfuil an oiread sin Béarla sna tráchtanna. Cinnte ní thógann sé sin ón áilleacht lom san amhránaíocht, áfach.
@@mjw12345 what are you talking about
Nothing like hearing completely live tight harmonies without pitch correction. Just the sound of human voices fitting in like puzzle pieces. Beautiful performance.
Sean-nos should not include harmonies - in fact if there are harmonies, it isn't sean-nos.
@@paddymeboy Maybe not, but then it is still some sort of derivative, and the tradition is changing as it passes through new hands, as tradition is keen to do
@@sunkintree Unfortunately, harmony is the death of music. In order to get harmony like this, you have to reduce the complexity of the ornamentation in the melody and the result is something far simpler, something that sounds a lot more like modern western music, that relies on harmony to make up for the lack of ornamentation in the melody. With that said, there are ways to introduce harmony to a degree that avoid this trap, this is the function of the ison in Byzantine Music.
Not to criticize their music, it's leagues better than most western music out there these days, except, perhaps, Corsican music. But, in general, harmony should be avoided like the plague in traditional music.
@@costakeith9048 Maybe you are right, but purists and people who mix tradition with more modern styles can cohabitate
I'm not sure I agree harmony ruins melodic ornamentation, though I understand that if you want to preserve it you need to work around it with that in mind. If you try to go full Bach style counterpoint, it's probably not going to work, but that's way on the extreme end of things
This needs to be recorded and put on an album. This is top tier harmony. Beautiful.
Listen I’m from Tennessee but I’m over here BALLING 😢. The way your voices demanded space, and when you all breathed in at the same time for air… just pure beauty and art. Thank you for gracing us with this. Really 😭
I’m born and raised southern tip of Appalachia and grew up immersed in bluegrass and traditional Appalachian music and singing and it is such a beautiful and breathtaking thing to hear our the roots of our singing in this singing style. There are obviously other influences in Appalachian singing but this is most certainly a part of that history especially seeing as how so many Irish people settled in Appalachia and many of those traditions were more closely maintained here due to the isolation of the mountains. Thank you for sharing this 💖
The harmony is so beautiful, I just started to cry. I’m southeast Asian and hearing this gorgeous song makes me more curious about Irish music, culture, and history! ❤❤❤
I think it's so cool that you are diving into this style of music. It makes me realize that I absolutely love these sounds and traditional ways. Keep up what you're doing Malinda! From one musician to another, thank you!
Traditions must be preserved, one's of the heart and home anyway. ♥️
Horrific ads now at YT - truly revolting. This must be one of the most horrific ad-filth uploads ever.
I'm crying watching this because it sounds like home. God I miss Ireland so much
As another far from my homeland, Sverige, allow me to share your pain
I'm not Irish, but my husband's family is and we traveled there from the US a couple of times in the last 9 years to visit some who are still there. And my God, even though I'm not from there and my family didn't largely descend from there, when you visit it seeps into your bones and becomes part of you. I can't really describe it, but the beauty of the land and warmness of the people works its way into your heart and makes it feel like a second home.
❤
This singing has a way of getting deep down into my soul.. plucking the strings my heart, coaxing tears from my eyes. Bless you all.
I went to Ireland for a few weeks in 2015 and accidentally ran in to Nell Ní Chróinín in a pub in Kilkenny and got to hear her sing there. It's definitely been a favorite style of mine since then.
Oh my goodness. I’m not sure what just happened to me, haha. The second you all started singing I absolutely burst into tears. I studied and lived in Ireland a few years ago and I miss it with my entire heart each and every day. This brought me right back there and my grief at leaving washed right over me. Thank you for sharing this with us all. It was a gift.
Beautiful language, very sonorous singing. Soothing music
sonorous - perfect word in this case
Im of Irish descent but don’t know very much about my heritage and have always loved singing and been in choir my whole life. As soon as the first harmony started I instantly started crying. Its like something familiar was activated in me and Im in my car sobbing. Thank you for this. I think Im going to do more research on this and find out more about my family tree. Simply beautiful, thank you so much.
Karen I hope you do look into your Irish heritage. Its an ancient culture going back at least 9000 years. Our national museum is chock-a-block with artefacts from the stone age -> bronze age -> iron age -> early medieval -> viking & late medieval periods. When you see places like Newgrange & its Stone Age (Neolithic) passage tombs and rock art, the book of Kells and the Ardagh Chalice you'll probably get a better understanding of the breath and depth of the ancient culture you come from. We love to see people of Irish heritage interested in finding out more about where they came from and if at all possible pay a visit too.
Omg, I thought the exact same thing! I don't have a lot of Irish in me, but it feels very much like this activated some ancestral memory in me. And, yes, I'm sobbing.
I learned Irish while I studied there. Beautiful language, culture, and country. Séan nos is so gorgeous!
Wow, these harmonies are so beautiful! And how all of you managed to all the runs together. This is really beautiful! Thank you so much for this great experience! ♥️
I've done a little harmony singing (not like this) and you start with intense listening and end up with a deep feeling of accord with the other singers, a spiritual sensation.
2 years later and still one of my favourite youtube videos.. I need to learn a Sean nos song for a gig so this was my first thought.. and after god knows how many times listening and sharing this tonight is the first time i read the lyrics.. couldn't open my eyes before.. so now a whole other layer of emotion to deal with..
I love Irish old songs. This is almost a very spiritual experience. Very Beautifully done.
Yes! I love Irish music, so ethereal, I'm so glad for these videos enlightening the world to beautiful music
I love this style of singing, and now I want to learn it. I could listen to this all day. So ethereal and hauntingly beautiful.
The only thing I love more than beautiful Irish ornamentation is vocal harmony. This was amazing! Thanks Malinda
sean nos is absolutely gorgeous, the raw emotion and beauty that stems from it is insane.
NO WAY! Malinda, oh my gosh, seeing you and Séamus and Caoimhe in the same video is unreal. Their versions of Eileanoir na rún are some of my favorite Sean-nós, and to see you sing with them is an incredible melding of worlds. My American Irish heart is so full 💚
This so pure, so organic, so gorgeous
Please, more like this 💛💛💛
My soul resonates with this so hard
Literally breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this. Sad to say, that traditional art of singing like this, does not exist in Germany.
I never knew that there were irish songs that were THIS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from a pianist in Norway
Jeg besøkte Norge bare én gang, men jeg elsket det. Det er så nydelig. Takk Norge!.
Tusen Takk. Jeg er Iresk og elsker ogsa denne musikken.
I'm kinda speechless... This was just incredible! 🥲 thank you so much for sharing!!!
Okay, you three got me. That made me cry. I love it, love it, love it.
As mentioned on your last Sean Nós video, if you are ever going to perform live in Ireland, let us know and I will buy a ticket.
Much appreciation from Ireland 🇮🇪
💚💟🧡
Ok, so, I’m gonna need to find more of “Sean nós” singing. I did the “American” thing and watched the first time thru with my “showy” eyes on. Catching expressions, dissecting harmonies, and paying attention to pronunciation. Then, the second time thru, I caught my eyes closing with the first few notes. Though I don’t understand a word of it, I found myself moved dramatically and whisked away to a place where each note struck my heart and soul; where the harmonies lifted my spirit and unintentionally crushed it with no effort. I couldn’t believe how I was smitten by each note and each voice in turn. (Insert deep sigh here) Thank you all for sharing your incredible talents with us here. 🥲
Thank you for doing this! Please do more videos around the Sean Nós! I grew up listening to this style of music, but unfortunately it isn't easy to find people who also connect with Irish music or the Irish language. These videos bring me back so much, and have re-motivated me to learn these songs and preserve the art. Ps, you guys did an amazing job Elanor na Rún :)
yeah, it doesn't resonate with everyone and I dont understand why. It sounds incredibly beautiful to me and has a way of making me stop, listen and just feel deeply even though I can't understand one word ahah.
That was fantastically beautiful! It made me cried, I am not Irish but I think it just makes something vibrate inside of us, with a solemn feeling.
Thank you for your videos and wonderful singing every time.
Oh my goodness. I love how the three of you harmonized!
Way to go, Malinda! Traveling to Ireland and learning from some amazing people! This is too awesome! I bet you were so excited and uplifted to go to Ireland and hang out with them and learn from them. This is like your dream come true!
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
This gave me goosebumps! So lovely and really cool to hear the story behind the song
Heavenly beautiful music sung right out of the hearts. Ireland you are loved and blessed!
oh lord this was so beautiful i cried
Utterly soul-shattering...
And reading the other comments here, it so happens that I grew up in Appalachian Virginia, and I agree there's some mysterious connection between this and "old timey" gospel music from the hills...
It reminds me of the movie Songcatcher!
Lovely music. I got a kick out of that one lyric line, "For I would love to drive the calves with you." What a pickup line!
How would you like to be buried with my people? Is another great chat up line. Allegedly!
Visiting Ireland is one of the things on my bucket list to do in my lifetime, so I'm honestly just a smidgen jealous! Erin go bragh!
You will be welcome here in Ireland 🇮🇪
I have been in love with Ireland, its music, and culture for literally as long as I can remember. Every time I listen to music like this I just feel at home. Which is funny since I have never been there even though I desperately want to go.
Oh my lord that hit me right in the feels!!!! I stil have goosebumps and chills....
Dear lord that was amazing!!
Malinda,
Thank You for these Blessings🙏🏻
I’m sure You know of Appalachian Shape Note Singing. What our ancestors brought over and sang in Worship services and Gatherings was this singing without instruments. In the Southern Appalachian Mountains, we still sing Shape Note Songs.
A Gaelic Speaking Singer, Julie Fowlis, which I guess You are familiar, also sings Scottish Gaelic Shape Notes but she includes ole time instruments.
Thank You for Your Knowledge, Singing and Beauty🙏🏻Blessings🙏🏻from Northeast Georgia and Mountains and

That song was absolutely beautiful; it brought tears to my eyes. I don't know how else to describe it other than it has the an almost prefect geometry to the sounds. So lovely!
Breath takingly gorgeous. And you can really hear the modern influenced mentioned.
That spicy dominant after 9:50 and how it perfectly resolves almost made me drop out of my chair
This was so beautiful I nearly cried.
From Spain,hearing this and watching a candle light with the winter blowing outside..seems to me i am all the past lovers and all their wishes and the time apart that makes love so bittersweet...many ,many,many thanks.Ole
This wasn’t just good, it was stunning and sent shivers down my spine. I can’t wait for more.
Unbelievably beautiful. All of you sound amazing, but that dude’s voice though.
You know that feeling when you find a song your soul was craving without knowing how to look for it? Thank you for scratching that itch 💚💚💚
The harmonies are stirring my Celtic roots. Beautiful language and singing style. Thank you!
makes me wanna learn Irish
You won't regret it. It's such a poetic and beautiful language that changes the way you view the world you're speaking about
Bhí sé sin go han-mhaith ar fad - what an incredible song and rendition. Go raibh míle maith agaibh!
Stunning!!! Actually, I have no words. Much, much love from France :)))))))))))
Absolutely delightful!
Thank you for always having something special for us
thank you for including subtitles in the video!!
I’m classically trained and I’ve sung many styles of music, but the singing here is the essence of song. I could listen until the fire burns down to the last ember then come back for more tomorrow night
Beautiful!
It's always so interesting to learn about other cultures, especially if they're so rich and ancient like the Irish.
Not. A. Word. A whole thesaurus. Beautiful, brilliant, poignant, magnificent, melodious, and to quote from a book I once read: like honey poured from a silver pitcher. Thank you.
So many of us in the southern states are of Irish and Scottish bloodline, and the musical traditions came with our ancestors. This video is incredibly beautiful. I love this powerful song.
Irish is such a beautiful and magical language
My friends are Irish I'm not but not only a lovley language but the harmonies I love
Dear lord. Something about this just hits me hard. I never say something brought me to tears, but this has both times I've listened... Lovely. Well done.
Asking folks to close their eyes for a UA-cam VIDEO... LOL but darn it if it didn't being me back to the emerald isle. Y'all are so damn talented. Thank you so much for sharing.
I started crying 😭 I’d love you three to make an album of this music
By far the best style of singing on the planet. Iontach!
its so beautiful, it filled my soul with hope and my eyes with tears. thank you.
That harmony at 9:53 blew me away! Fantastic song with a very interesting interview
MALINDA! ♥️
Malinda, It’s as though the three of you have sung together from birth, so pure with communal expression, sensitive phrasing and balance. Thank you.
What a pleasure to listen to Irish accent!
(My native tongue is Russian, by the way, I just love accents)
Have you ever noticed how when speaking, and you hear an accent in someone else who is speaking, though not simultaneously, another may notice your speech patterns? And is this foreign to you? Thanks.
So beautiful.
I would love to hear the Coolin it was my grandfather's favorite tune he was a great fiddler from Ardfert county Kerry Patrick O Sullivan thank you for your beautiful art.
That has to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
Aqui do Brasil, assistindo.... Cantam muitooo
Mon Ireland such a lovely place
Absolutely lovely! I am crying because of the haunting melody and touching words. Thanks for bringing this to us!
I listened to your advice and grabbed the headphones. Sooo beautiful🥲
I want to be able to download this! So achingly beautiful
That was so beautiful! Thank you!
as an irish person, i had to click immediately
As a non Irish person, I still had to click immediately
Omg Séamus! Such a lovely person and a fantastic musician!
Love it! Irish is such a calming and soothing language when sung so well.
Have you ever heard the song “Kilkelly, Ireland”? I think it was originally written in 1983 by Peter Jones. It is a song where the singer is essentially singing portions of letters, written between 1860-1892, from an Irish father to his son who moved away.
It’s been covered by a lot of people, but it is a beautiful song.
You're voice is so beautiful I would listen to you sing about everything that has gone wrong in 2021. Also this song is beautiful!
Beautiful ! Love the connection with words through history.
Many women in Iceland have the name “Rún” (meaning mystery, wisdom or a friend) and “rúnir” are the letters of an alphabet that is native to the Germanic peoples.
Malinda: goes to Ireland
Me: WTF what happened to covid?!?!
From the first harmony I cried and did so till the end.
It moved something in me, and I did try to keep my eyes closed and listen, so no I have no idea what the lyrics were.
This tradition of singing is still alive and well in Appalachian churches ^^
As you can see it's very much alive here too
ah no way this was in my suggested videos and I didn’t realize I wasn’t already subscribed!! well done, my talented friends ❤
Unbelievably beautiful!!❤❤❤
I don't know why youtube recommended me this but I guess it's my lucky day!! It's been such a long time since I heard real talented musicians and this song touched my soul. There's something otherworldly about it, like I miss some long ago time that I can't recall. Thank you so much god bless❤
So pure. Thank you. My tears for this beauty!
So beautiful…the harmonies were great!
wow that was utterly beautiful singing
This was sublime. Thank you!
10mo later still listening to this and every single time what gets me is that little giggle when y'all are done and everyone opens their eyes. i havent sung in years and i miss that moment so much, where you're all still bathing in the beauty you just created and experienced together. nothin like it ❤
I was crying like throughout the whole song. So good. Truly touches the soul.
