Harkens back to the Burke/Ó Domhnaill recordings of the '80s, Portland and Promenade. Pure romance, pure soul, as understated as a constellation on a clear night.
Having been in an Irish trad (or close enough for the midwest US) band for 7.5 years, the one that always bothered me was a performer who could play the music but didn't have _that touch_ ... the one that says, "hey, you can strum this jig pattern AT MORE THAN ONE VOLUME, YOU KNOW." The Gloaming, for me, was salvific. When I heard the Gloaming back in 2014, I think I became obsessed. Their ability to imbue subtlety and restraint into Irish music was somehow a watershed moment for me; yet, it was like Irish music had always been that way, even if I'd never heard it. I find it rather difficult to listen to any other Irish bands now, other than for the sake of learning their tunes by ear. So few of them have _that touch_ . Tá siad go hiontach ar fad.
wow cant hold back tears,beautiful .how this could find me in a corner of Africa. just tells u d beauty of music. wish i can see cucanady live recording .## piper sell your pipes , buy your wife a gown##
Mesmerizing. I heard my heart leap to the stars and beat to the beauty of a song that knows it's infinite. I felt the seasons swirl as the violin spoke to the piano, and I wept as if I were a field of snow melting in the spring. I'm grateful that two of the most soulful voices in the universe at this moment, Larla's (and Peter's) give us such treasure. I'll share with the children I care for who are on ventilators.
Players come and go but Martin Hayes persists among them all. While some great names have departed, new ones replace them. Vale Liam O'Flynn and Arty McGlynn and many others lesser known or appreciated. The Irish tradition of music is well supplied with new forces as the old ones fade and pass away.

I like that sound too. You don't need a mute to get it. He isn't pressing the strings fully against the fingerboard with his left hand and he isn't exerting much pressure on the bow with his first finger and is probably bowing further from the bridge than you normally would. The bow is also moved more slowly to accentuate the sound of the hairs on the strings. It takes a lot of control but it is very effective.

Thinking of the little Irish music I've heard, this makes sense!
I learnt a new word - salvific! I’m saved 😀
Best Irish music I ever heard! So emotional. I'm so lucky I discovered this. Thank you for touching my soul The Gloaming!
Incredibly toutching. I have seen this band live in Portugal. Never forgot the experience!
This music makes you forget everything else in the world.
What an emotional, powerful composition! It kicketh butt!
This is when sound transcends just music. The world would weep if they all could hear this
The Gloaming always makes me cry.
Beautiful, the old yet very new . My new Camino music.

Do labhair an tír mar theampall
Bhí síul na habhann boimpéiseach
Do chrom go glúin na gleannta
Bhí fíor na croise ar ghéaga
Le soiscéal gaoithe d’éisteas
Bhí naofacht ar an dtalamh
Anseo do mhair mo chéadshearc
Níor ghabhas an treo le fada
Chonac saol mar scéal fiannaíochta
Fadó fadó ar maidin
A mhúnlaigh an tslat draíochta
A bhíonn ‘na laimh ag leanbh
D’aiséirigh ‘na taisléine
Le solas ar a leacainn
Is do thionlaic mé go gléineach
Ar oilithreacht fám anam
Anseo do mhair mo chéadshearc
Níor ghabhas an treo le fada
Ta aisling ann
Is eol dom í
Ag fiuchadh i mbroinn mo shamhlaíochta
Lasair gheal gan chorp mar ghaoith
Agus corp oiriúnach á impí aici
The land spoke like a temple
The river walked pompously
The valleys bent to their knees
The sign of the cross was in the branches
I listened to a gospel of wind
There was holiness on the ground
Here is where my first love lived
I haven’t come this way in a long time
I saw a world like a fairy tale
Long ago, long ago in the morning
That woke the magic wand
That a child has in his hand
She rose again in her shroud,
With light on her cheek
And she went brightly along with me
On a pilgrimage of my soul
Here is where my first love lived
I haven’t come this way in a long time
There is a vision there
I know her well
Boiling in the womb of my imagination
A bright flame without form like the wind
Begging for a fitting body
+Áine McManus thank you!
Wow ! That's so kind from you ; I thank you very very much.
David BENOIT
It just doesn't get any better than this. Truly magnificent
to listen
this is charming reminds me of safe hands
wow. thanks for this. Go raibh míle maith agat.
Only my family grounds me more to this island than The Gloaming.
Táim abalta buaireamh a' tsaol a chur díom is an ceol seo a chasadh. Galánta ar fád.
It is in the blood.
Lovely. Same chords as Sunday Bloody Sunday?
Just for this the label should be rebranded Reel World Records. :)
Someone know the lirics of this song! please!!!!

Thank you very much!!! :)
Martin Hayes is with no equal anywhere.
Hissedebilmek.Bukadar sanırım yada buraya kadar.
I'm sorry i'm not a violinist, but how does the bearded man get this leaky/breathy sound out of his violin? I'm intrigued by he sound.
Tanja Hebbeding He is interested in instruments like the Norwegian hardanger fiddle and other instruments with sympathetic strings. I guess he cultivates a kind of purposefully inexact phrasing to imitate that sound.
Sounds like he uses a mute as well.
I like that sound too. You don't need a mute to get it. He isn't pressing the strings fully against the fingerboard with his left hand and he isn't exerting much pressure on the bow with his first finger and is probably bowing further from the bridge than you normally would. The bow is also moved more slowly to accentuate the sound of the hairs on the strings. It takes a lot of control but it is very effective.
