This lady is an exceptional songwriter, historian, philosopher and a deep caring person who shares her rare gifts of music and writing with all. I was graced to hear her at a private dinner last night in Winnipeg honouring those who serve their country. Loreena told me that this was a difficult song to create and put to lyrics. It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
I'm a 73 year old male and I love most of Loreena's songs. I find them very relaxing and soothing. I do love rock and roll but her music is in another dimension. I hear some of The Bonny Swans in this song.
Hello, i'm the fool like you. But a bit younger man. Yeh youi a right. This is a kind of magic. And Bonny Swans are excelent. - But you have to find full version. Or it's a shit
I have been listening to this song almost every night before going to bed for the last 7 years... It has something magical... ethereal... it makes me dream and relaxes my body and mind. I have seen Loreena in concert twice in Spain so far... I itch to see her again. Saludos a todos los fans de Loreena en España.
"Beneath A Phrygian Sky" The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the ages So in haunting in its song These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore And listened to this voice Like I never heard before Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife Of all the human misery And all the waste of life We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain I looked up to the stars above To find you once again We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear It is ours to hold the banner Is ours to hold it long It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for our good earth [Reprise:] The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the ages So in haunting in its song The ancient stones will tell us Our love will make us strong
I have listened to her music for over 12 yrs and will never grow tired of her voice.. My five grandchildren range from newborn to twelve and the four older dance around the house to her music.
The instrumental interludes in this song make it that more special. She can sure pick the right musicians for her music. I can listen to those musicians all day long. The last few minutes at the end of the song are mesmerizing.
Did you misused the word? 'Musician' is the person who composes melodies to form music. And she is a musician herself who creates her own music. Did you mean 'melodies' instead?
You misused the word "misused." And why would Ray not have meant to say "musicians" since he is referring to the instrumental interludes? He meant the musicians playing the instruments.
Thank you, it makes sense for me now. I'm so sorry because of those unthoughtful statements as well as my own grammar mistake. p/s: English isn't my mother tongue and sometimes I'm just too careless and forget to double check everything I'd written down.
LOREENA is more than an illustrious character of the music. LOREENA is a creative being of the best and highest feelings of the human soul. LOREENA is an absolutely sublime being in your vision of feelings. LOREENA is the best music, voice, words, MAGIC interpretation, etc.etc. WHO HEARS LOREENA, GIVE FOR LOST ALL THE TIME BACK AND TRAVELS TO ANOTHER WORLD. A UNIQUE WORLD. THE WORLD OF THIS GODDESS.
Thanks for this wonderful video!!Nice piece of work!!...Loreena is the most wonderful singer on this planet..her songs goes right in to the heart!I had the fortune to se her at the Alhambra in sep.13-2006 a magic night that i will never forget!Tanks again!
I don't know how she does it. She is a high ranking officer in the RAF and goes on tours to save the world. If you can find the meanest, mad and hated person in the world and put headphones on him, he would cry more than anybody in this world by listening to her voice and music.
Loreena is the best modern folk singer by far , she is in a different league to all others and is backed by a band of absolutely superb musicians. No contest, she is brilliant with wonderful lyrics, excellent arrangements and a certain retro fling to the past whilst keeping an up to date with a modern style.
Just recently I traveled thru Scotland & Ireland listening to Loreena's music and its hard to describe the effect. I have listened to her for years, but to see some of the places that she drew her inspiration from and listening to her beautiful voice while walking in the steps of the ancient places really made me feel like it was where I belonged.
came across L.M. 1bout 17 years ago and fell in love with her music and her. first heard of her with the mummers dance and have been bewitched with her and her music ever since. she truly has the voice of angel. and her music is truly unique as she is. truly one of a kind and a gift from heaven./
Such a connection to this song.. it sure does take a soul back.. Something that seems from so many centuries touching one's soul in the present.. Love this tune!
Loreena McKennitt was inspired to write this song while she was in Gordian, Turkey, in 2002; this song is on her CD called "An Ancient Muse." Phrygia was a kingdom in the west central part of Anatolia. The state of Phrygia arose in the 8th century BC with capital at Gordium (of the "Gordian knot" fame). The Phrygian language survived until about the 6th century AD.
Too bad most will not listen to this message or any other. So long as they do not understand or accept that we must take sole responsibility for our actions, and we have one life to live, nothing changes.
verdadeira melodia dos anjos somente em uma voz aqui na terra..magnifico encanto na alma...ouvir essa cançao é como uma viagem a um lugar de onde nao queremos mais voltar...em um lugar onde os sonhos podem serem tocados e realizados...
She was born to become a legend, an illusion whenever she's here or gone. A soul, marking with sounds, and images, her passage through our world... Magician .... she's that kind of magician who never reveals her secrets ... filling our souls with dreams... Lovelly, thanks... favorited, lol
She has made the difference. These are the real meaning of songs. Music of imagination !! Now come the newest path of music for globalization people. Thanks for your wonderful style, Loreena.
My thoughts: She sings about war "No choice may ours to be" - Wars are almost always fought because of few individuals, rather than the people. She also sings about the misery and waste of life, addictions, violence... Then she starts wondering about where God is in all this, "we wondered where our God was" - Where is our God to let this all happen. She goes on a search for God and finds people using his name for glory and their own gain. She is desperate for an answer, and "whilst the sky is weeping", she finds the solution: It is ours to hold the banner It is ours to hold it long It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong She means that whenever we are in misery, we should be able to hoist and hold a banner in name of God and mankind. Then she makes a prayer in the morning light having found the solution, finishing with a repetition of the two first starting verse.
+PolisOfCraft Your interpretation is as beautiful as this song. I have the same thoughts about it--but not the words to express. So thank you for these words!
Amazing... I'm grateful. You are an embodiment of wisdom. Thank you for helping all of us understand the Ancient Muse at this level of depth. Greetings from Nigeria.
After I told my dad I liked Enya he made me listen to Loreena. I hated her at first, but now I like her. BONNIE SWANS AND CARRIBEAN BLUE, I LOVE YOU!!!
Exuberante belleza la interpretación de ésta canción, por ésta mujer, una de las más bellas voces del género y un magistral y bello acompañamiento.La obra musical de la genial canadiense, es sin duda alguna, una de las más singulares, estéticas y diletantes de la música actual, fruto de un concienzudo trabajo de investigación, estudios y recopilaciones de experiencias de expediciones y viajes alrededor de diversas culturas por todo el mundo.
My heart has been in a trembling mode from a falling out w/a friend and this music made it come to a halting ease. Thank you for soothing my soul.(5 stars) God shines on you!
it never ceases to amaze me how Loreena manages to move people of many creeds and nationalities. Perhaps our world leaders should listen to her music before making decisions.
la grande soeur tu es sublimissime un vrai génie dans ton domaine t'écouter est un vrai regard c'est si apaisant....Que Dieu te garde très longtemps sur cette afin que l'humanité profite de ton talent.
I can't stop listening to this music. It is wonderful and full of emotions. She is the best. Wish I could meet her, maybe one day she will come to Serbia and bring joy to my suffered land.
I have to thank one of my seniors who send her song, "The Gates of Istanbul" to me, otherwise I might never know about Loreena McKennitt. Her voice is very beautiful. She's one of the greatest artists ever for me!
very close to the time I fell in love with her music.First heard it on the Art Bell coast to Coast A.M. radio show in 94.It was haunting and beautiful for me.Hope to see her one day here in the US.My life will not be complete otherwise!!
Loreena ! you have made the great difference. I have found what i'm looking for now. So many thanks for your exquisite art ! You have done the right thing...
The most beautiful VOICE ever. The woman most sensitive on Earth. The pleasure of the SOUL. LOREENA is the name most NOBLE of the ART. GODDESS of Spirit of POETRY MUSIC. Simply THE ONE.
Loreena is the most complete woman. Nobody did better. Only a ANGEL like her can reach the PERFECTION, the INSUPERABLE. LOREENA is IMMORTAL. She belongs to the PARADISE. LOREENA is a celestial Muse. She is the music QUEEN, the GODDESS of the human heart.The GODDESS of sensitivity. LOREENA forever, for the eternity. Ever and ever. Beloved GODDESS.
this song is so fantastic. in her bio of this song she stated she had great trouble coming up with the lyrics for it. but boy what a job she acomplished in doing so. this song is so haunting and yet beautiful at the same time. she is such a hottie nobody even comes close to her passion in her songs as she displays. she ios my all time favorite singer, composer and artist. and at 58 my range of music appreciation is imense to say the least, and she is at the top.
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the ages So in haunting in its song These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore And listened to this voice Like I never heard before Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife Of all the human misery And all the waste of life We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain I looked up to the stars above To find you once again We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear It is ours to hold the banner Is ours to hold it long It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth [Reprise:] The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the ages So in haunting in its song The ancient stones will tell us Our love will make us strong
This is one of those rare songs that captures the totality of human experience; and there is so much hope in the lyrics at the end of our reaching higher as a people.
I saw her on PBS TV then saw in concert in Chicago changed my life then it clicked. She's Seraphim. How close can you get to that. I know you guys fill it just. Breath
Esta cancion es simplemente... maravillosa. No puedo explicar lo que siento al escuchar la voz de Loreena. Gracias a la musica, que hace un mundo mas hermoso
Hermosa pieza del formidable repertorio ( antológico ) de esta formidable cantautora canadiense una de las artistas más versatiles, integrales y estudiosaa de la música moderna y contrmporánea.

First time Ive listened to it, and I absolutely loved it.
+Martín Serrano Huguet This is... ...The same thing what I've done! Somtimes I fell asleep whilst it was playing.
LM is lucky to have fans who are so touched by her work and express it so lovingly!

"Beneath A Phrygian Sky"
The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy
A voice from down the ages
So in haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us
Our love must make us strong
The breeze it wrapped around me
As I stood there on the shore
And listened to this voice
Like I never heard before
Our battles they may find us
No choice may ours to be
But hold the banner proudly
The truth will set us free
My mind was called across the years
Of rages and of strife
Of all the human misery
And all the waste of life
We wondered where our God was
In the face of so much pain
I looked up to the stars above
To find you once again
We travelled the wide oceans
Heard many call your name
With sword and gun and hatred
It all seemed much the same
Some used your name for glory
Some used it for their gain
Yet when liberty lay wanting
No lives were lost in vain
Is it not our place to wonder
As the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures
Look on with mortal fear
It is ours to hold the banner
Is ours to hold it long
It is ours to carry forward
Our love must make us strong
And as the warm wind carried
Its song into the night
I closed my eyes and tarried
Until the morning light
As the last star it shimmered
And the new sun's day gave birth
It was in this magic moment
Came this prayer for our good earth
[Reprise:]
The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy
A voice from down the ages
So in haunting in its song
The ancient stones will tell us
Our love will make us strong
Mark D'Aoust
A great peace music in many ways
LOREENA MCKENNITT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sweetest angel, God blessed your voice and hearing, and you gave it all to us...

This is how angels in heaven sing.
Exactly .

With the current troubles in the US, this song holds special meaning and brings me to tears
Fantastic recitals, Loreena. Splendid above.
Devotion, faith and piety. Never ceases to bring me to tears...Thank you Cymbeline.

Beautiful! So much truth in one song!
..and the real benefit of getting older is that there is always something new to discover in music with your growing appreciation! ;-)
The Album is called An Ancient Muse. This track is inspired.
Another great Canadian female singer Joni Mitchell says that most modern music should be called IC because the MUSE is missing.
Words fail me to describe Loreena McKennitt I just love this woman.
eerie and beautiful
