The music. I knew this song many years ago in the Breton version of Alan Stivell's album "Chemin de Terre". Wonderful song, sweet and nostalgic. Thank you
I had just got back from the commercial fishing season where I spent much time away from humanity and as I sat on a buoy I listened to this song (thanks to you) and one side I looked at the town and the other I looked out to the sea, Islands and wilderness of Alaska and really, well I don't know what you would call it, it was more than realization, but I really saw who we all truly are and what our actions look like, as well as what they do. Pettiness and selfishness side by side with deep beauty. Once it would have been hard to believe that we are the bad guys here, look at art! look what we build! But I never understood that the Mona Lisa doesn't compare to a rainforest we destroy, the palace of Versailles doesn't compare to a race of animals, the Pyramids are less beautiful than the desert around them, all the wonders of the world don't compare to a mountain range or the sea. We fill the whole world with garbage and destroy everything beautiful then proclaim ourselves the best creation of them all. Once I did not understand, not I don't know how it isn't obvious. This is a beautiful and touching song and go figure its not about sex or money or fame, just have a good night.
oidhchie mhath leibh is goodnight , i was told the gaels also wished their loved ones goodbye after incase anyone died in their sleep, s'beanachd leabh, my foster mother couldn't speak much gaelic and drummed it into me to try keep the scots alive even though she was irish. scots wil die first she told me.
Lyrics unfortunately look different then phonetic representations of English words, but here they are, (I think) 1: Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh, Oidche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh; Guidheam slàinte 'ghnàth bhi mar ribh, Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh. 2: Chan eil inneal-ciùil a ghleusar, 'Dhùisgeas smuain mo chléibh gu aoibh, Mar nì duan o bheul nan caileag, Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh. 3: Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh, Oidche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh; Guidheam slàinte 'ghnàth bhi mar ribh, Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh. 4: Thuit ar crann air saoghal carach, 'S coma siud, tha 'mhaitheas leinn, Bidh sinn beò an dòchas ro-mhath, Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.
great music--I recently discovered Ossian and downloaded all their albums. the first 2 with the original lineup and The Carrying Stream, the final one, are the best. nice images too. great video!
Thanks so much for such kind and warm words! I felt really good taking these pictures! Yes, Skamania, an interesting place! Thanks again for your feedback and support!
I'm 100% American. My mom's and Uncle Bill's ancestors are from Ireland. Not too 100% sure where my dad's ancestors are from, but my last name tells me to do my homework on the MacFarland family history, where the MacFarland's are from, and such.
A very good question...While the imagery is certainly beautiful (Pacific Northwest, yes? Always makes me homesick) , it was your choice of music that got my mind wandering off into another world...What that world might be remains to be written...Someday...Perhaps...I'm thinking about it...:::smiles:::...but yeah, that music definately inspired me. Thank you....and Goodnight to You, as well.
This is wonderful. Once more, the flow of imagery, the editing, the majestic mountains and the entire 'scape is breath-taking. Envious as you've done a fab fab job of it all. Beaut moon shots especially ending ones and the splendour of that range, when you do finally splice them in, pretty spesh! All good, especially that name, Skamania, yep, a penchant for Madness and The Specials? ha!
Your intro to the video says you drove up a gravel road and found an amazing vantage point. That was what I was referring to. I like the views from 1:06, 1:52, and -well I guess all of the mountain views! Where do I go to see these views? Your photos are very pretty.
I've been looking for the translation of what you wrote. I heard it in a book and couldnt for the life of me, spell it! How much love can I send you from the States!! Seriously! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Oui c'est joli mais il me semble préférer la version d'Alan Stivell sur le disque "Chemins de terre" paru en 1973 ua-cam.com/video/KCfrmcfU36I/v-deo.html

Genç Werther'in Acıları'nı okuyordum birden burada buldum kendimi yazarlara ve ozanlara olan saygım bir kat daha arttı
Pure ancient magic

Beautiful track from a classic album! Takes me back to my Glasgow Uni- Munro bagging days!
Thank you. This is beautiful.
Le groupe Ossian avait l'art de jouer des musiques très apaisantes. Je ne me lasse pas de cette chanson interprétée par Billy Ross.
Love this song! You can feel it!

rmn878 Here here! That sounds like the reason I associate myself now more with Celtic Paganism then any of the mainstream garbage. :)
rmn878 Thank you for your story. Glad this reached you at such a time.
Wow you are really sorted x
Very nice song !🏞
oidhchie mhath leibh is goodnight , i was told the gaels also wished their loved ones goodbye after incase anyone died in their sleep, s'beanachd leabh, my foster mother couldn't speak much gaelic and drummed it into me to try keep the scots alive even though she was irish. scots wil die first she told me.

i still have the original St kilda wedding LP a truly wonderful album
So beautiful !💞💞🎼🎻🎼🌹

Lyrics unfortunately look different then phonetic representations of English words, but here they are, (I think)
1: Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh,
Oidche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh;
Guidheam slàinte 'ghnàth bhi mar ribh,
Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh.
2: Chan eil inneal-ciùil a ghleusar,
'Dhùisgeas smuain mo chléibh gu aoibh,
Mar nì duan o bheul nan caileag,
Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.
3: Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh,
Oidche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh;
Guidheam slàinte 'ghnàth bhi mar ribh,
Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh.
4: Thuit ar crann air saoghal carach,
'S coma siud, tha 'mhaitheas leinn,
Bidh sinn beò an dòchas ro-mhath,
Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.

Nagyon, nagyon szép ! Csodálatos dal !💞💞💞
Thanks so much for such kind and warm words! I felt really good taking these pictures! Yes, Skamania, an interesting place! Thanks again for your feedback and support!
Ah thank you so much, this is incredible
🏴 loved it
The imagery reminds me so much of the Schartzwald in Deuthchland in 2011 but the music is more magical by far! Ossian was brilliant!
Misspelled Schwartzwald, sorry.
You are very welcome! I was inspired, reminded and prompted to make this video by you, so I hope it pleases!

Couldn't ask for better pictures to go with this
Lovely Billy Ross has a lovely song for the Gael
thanks for this video
Thank you!!
Reminds me a bit of the Yes song And You and I there at the beginning. Sweet jam and cool pics,Rovings.
True, And You and i is stunningly beautiful. Yes is one of my favorite bands. They were quite influenced by English traditional music.
This is wonderful. Once more, the flow of imagery, the editing, the majestic mountains and the entire 'scape is breath-taking. Envious as you've done a fab fab job of it all.

Beautiful. Makes me want to write a Lord of The Rings kinda fantasy...
Has anybody mentioned that the song was written by one Iain MacPhaidein of Mull around 1897?
The words were by John MacFadyen and harmonised by Norman MacDonald (we sang it last night at our first face-to-face rehearsal, since last March).
I have often wanted to return to writing and delve into something like that. When will I have the time? Thanks again and a "Goodnight To You"!
Welcome!
Diolch yn fawr am eich bost, Mae'n pertfydd iawn...

I will have to give that song a listen (if I haven't already and don't remember?) Thanks, creme!

I feel like I have heard an English Version of this song but can’t find it
Which inspires you more - the music or the imagery?
BOTH are beautifully inspiring
Agus mòran bheannachdan
I've been looking for the translation of what you wrote. I heard it in a book and couldnt for the life of me, spell it!
How much love can I send you from the States!! Seriously! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I don't suppose you remember the name of the gravel rd? or how to get there? These are gorgeous pics! I would love to go see that view.
Oui c'est joli mais il me semble préférer la version d'Alan Stivell sur le disque "Chemins de terre" paru en 1973 ua-cam.com/video/KCfrmcfU36I/v-deo.html
where can you find their music? i just see their albums on amazo nand such for 30 to 100 dollars
Where is that beautiful landscape?
Mike H. These are photos taken throughout Clark county in Washington State, some dipping over into Skamania county.

Does anyone have phonetics for this please

I will private message you with more information. Thanks for the compliment.
The music. I knew this song many years ago in the Breton version of Alan Stivell's album "Chemin de Terre". Wonderful song, sweet and nostalgic. Thank you
