+Susan L Your Son is with you in the air. Please try to smile in your tears which clearly is not my business to say but my aim is to have you find comfort with his singing to you now Mother. I'm sorry for your loss.
+Susan L Believe that your son is never apart from you - his spirit is with you always. You will meet again one day - be assured of that. Love and peace. Barbie
Your son must've been a sensitive soul. Perhaps too good for this world. I lost a son too and that's what I like to think and believe. He dwells someplace else; someplace better and you will see him again. Bless...
I first heard this song when I went to watch Riverdance in Dublin and it brought me to tears. Even after all these years it still does. I find it so beautiful and it touches my soul in such a way that I cannot even put it into words. ☘️
This is definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard, I remember hearing it for the first time years ago at a Riverdance performance.
When my father first heard this song, I watched as his eyes grew wide and he just sat there silently crying until he was shaking trying to hold it in. I now have the same reaction every time I listen to it. Rest in peace.
I was in Ireland two months ago and I first heard this beautiful piece being played by a talented man at the Glendalough monastery. At that moment, I fell in love with Ireland and never wanted to leave. Just listening to this takes me back. Ever since that moment, hearing this song makes me proud to have a quarter of Irish blood in my veins. Hope I can make a second journey very soon. Much love from New York City!
I am half Irish/Scott and half German (Black Forest). It's interesting how some music with no lyrics stirs the soul. It's like your brain paints a picture of your ancient memories while you just listen. Thank you!!!🥰
I am Irish, Scots, Welsh and Black Forest German as well. I can feel the rivers run through my soul with the music of my (our) peoples pouring in my broken heart. Cheers, mate.
My grandfather requested this be played when they spread his ashes into the body of water of which he wanted to be spread in. He died before he got a chance to make it to my wedding so my family played it randomly without my knowledge at my ceremony and i completely lost it. Half the people that were there that werent even of celtic descent started crying as well. The most beautiful and powerful song ive ever heard :-)
I'm the farthest you could get from being Irish..and the music has the exact same effect. Your people create the most beautiful things. Ireland is a magical place, there's no denying it. It's my dream to go there.
This beautiful lament, played wonderfully on the Ullean pipes, cries out deeply to those with a spot of Scottish or Irish blood in their veins. It touches the collective core or who we are. But aside from that, it is a beautiful lament to all who chance to hear it, in this case, a lament to a son. We can only lament the past. We can’t lament the future. It is proper from time to time, in this human condition, to lament our past. Whether it be of loved ones gone on, loves lost, special times of our lives, events or special places…..we all lament, and it is good. But as the strains of this touching song fade at the end, it is a perfect reminder that, like this song, there is a time for the lament to end, and to once again turn from the past…carrying with us the beauty and memories, but focusing on that which we can’t lament. The future is unwritten, so we must boldly and bravely journey forward with hope and aspirations, and a touch of the knowledge that our lives, actions and deeds may be part of someone else’s lament in years to come. Make it a lament that will make those who remember also smile through their tears.
I love this song/tune. Music was not part of my life until after I turned 69 years old. Then I taught myself to play the GHB, the SSP, the Native American flute and the Irish tin whistle, in that order. I am now 72 and I am playing the first 3 minutes of this tune on my tin whistle in key D. I will soon have the entire piece memorized. I will be so proud to have accomplished this personal challenge. Thank you, Davy Spillane for creating this masterpiece.
Hi bro. Well done. I am a pro musician and I am struggling with this one. David Spillain is a uilliann pipe god. Keep up the great work because people who don't play will never feel the great satisfaction of completing a piece of music.It makes us understand the hard work that people like David put in.
my soul is singing in tears when I hear this. I know little of irish music or the instruments being played or the history of this character. I know only that this music speaks universally to those whose hearts are open to hear
I'm an electronic music fan mainly, but the Irish Uilleann Pipes are truly beautiful. These Uilleann masters literally have to work the sound out of them every second of a performance to create such emotion. When combined with orchestration as here the result transcends music. Truly magical.
I know I’ve commented it before, but every few years I have to return to say , this is the song I want played at my funeral. It’s just so hauntingly beautiful.
I am three generations removed from the fair, distant green hills of Ireland..and yet, from the first trill of these pipes and this song, my very skin tingles , my heart beats quicker and tears push ever so close to my eyes. Irish blood, indeed, runs deep and true.
This makes me proud to be Irish, I really want to learn the uilleann pipes they are with out a doubt the most beautiful sounding instrument I have ever heard
Seamus Ennis' tutor is the best, and if your handy with hand tools and a lathe, have accurate rifle bores. can weld,braize and bend metals; and if you can find a copy which I am lucky enough to proudly own, Wilbert Garvin wrote "the" book on how to make a set from scratch. Good luck. They must be the most haunting instrument the ingenuity of man has ever devised. I'd give a dangle berry for a full set with regulators.I've made some superb fiddles, but those pipes are a tough order to knock up.
I love this piece of music. A shame that Davy Spillane's name is misspelled in the credits, and that no credit is given to Bill Whelan, the composer (indeed, the end caption "Music - Davey [sic] Spillane" suggests that he wrote it). Credit (properly spelled) where it's due please.
This is so beautiful yet I wonder why there is so much hate in this world? We have the ability to create such great music like this but have it in us to self destruct. Walk in peace and then stand for a while and listen to this beautiful music.
Something about those pipes that touches something very deep down in the soul ... if there is such a thing. I'm a cynic, but hearing this makes me wonder .... !!!
this music inspires me to spread wings and fly into a better happier life than what ive been through in the past i cannot express how much my life is turning around for the better it makes me want to shed happy tears especially the day i leave out of Virginia state and move to north Carolina and i hope this song inspires my family and people i leave behind that they too become successful enough to spread their wings and fly to wherever it is that will make them happier in life
I may be deceived once again, yet still I go to that stone on the point by the lake waiting to hear the whisper of footsteps. "Nay, laddie, it's not love that deceives but the wicked empty heart that loses it's truth and shatters its icy shell again and again and again, to awaken no more in the place we had come to know." It's the voice repeating, "It is gone, it is gone", that deceives.
All the people saying "music from god" and "god this and that" ect. --> This type of music derived from pagan people, ages old, with instruments crafted by masterminds of old times without the shackles of monotheism. You're spitting into the faces of the people who brought forth this kind of art, by claiming it to be inspired by the god whose fellowship has killed the very people, whose culture and art you admire. The people who developed this, did not believe in your god, they were free pagans. At least pay a certain amount of respect to germanic and celtic culture, without calling your religion into it, which didn't even exist at that time. I mean, come on, people... the name of this piece is The lament of Cú Chulainn, and Cú Chulainn is a figure of irish celtic mythology...
Sorry, mate. God has us both covered. Whether it's my silly notion that all things good come from a loving creator or your idea that an association with that Creator somehow maligns the lives, work, and memories of your fathers, we both are giving profound respect to God and humankind. I am deeply sorry that what I've done here has hurt and offended you (or anyone.) If it will help and if it's your wish, I can remove the video so that no further damage will be done. Regards, gmac
First of all, you are a person of the 20th/21st century. You were not there when this all got started. So, what you know is what you have read. At best, your knowledge is from second and third hand accounts. You are not in authority to tell people how to interpret what one hears in a piece of music. So what if people interject the word god into this particular type of music. God has different meanings to different people. You are presumptuous to think that god has only one meaning. You should have addressed the person or persons who made such claims and asked them why do they have the need to put god into the mix. Then and only then can a discussion begin. Just saying.
+Guy MacKenzie please do not remove this. it has great significance to my late mother and brother. You did a magnificent work here both with sound and imagery. My deep appreciation.) 0 (
There must be somethjng to DNA memory. So many from other countries feel kinship when listening to Celtic music. My family came from Iverness to America in the early 1700's. I have felt connected to anything Scottish since I was young.
I From Brazil.. I Love the Celtic Music, during all my life, I've been listening to so beautiful and sweet celtic music, enchants me so much purity and love that 's music...The biggest dream of my life is to know Ireland :D
Feidhelm Ó Foghladha Thank you so much! Ireland to me, is the best place where someone can live, is a beautiful place, the mountains, the fields, the people, the music, the Celtic culture and the cold. I am totally in love and delighted with Ireland, my dream is one day can live there, and know so adorable Lady Mary Bergin. I would give everything I have just to can feel the breeze and hear so sweet Celtic music :) I hope that God will continue to bless the lives of all Irish! The Ireland may be small, more is a magical country which is not more in the world today. Gently: Roberto
Roberto Whistler thanks very much for your kind words... You will have plenty of wind, rain and cold. And plenty of Irish trad music as well. Lots of Fleadh Cheoil, which is music on the streets and in the pubs. You can join in yourself and play. You will love it. You must go and watch the beautiful game of hurling its part of our Gaelic culture and is over 3000 years old...Its our national sport. Lots of videos of hurling on youtube, you might like it...anyway my friend nice meeting you and I wish you and yours a happy and peaceful life....
I'm trying to play this on a tenor recorder. I can get the basic tune down, but those two or three top notes have me stumped. Some of those grace notes are at a transition point, which I can't seem to hit fast enough. I've never been formally trained, andi don't have the sheet music, so this tune is not easy.
This music reminds me of my wife.. who was taken from me too soon.. I will never love another.. I will live my remaining days here until I can be returned to her arms.
Im not Irish, im Hispanic but my love for the Irish culture and music goes beyond any borders. The people, the lifestyle, everything about it is beautiful and mystifying. The music always gets me. This song nearly brings a tear to my eye and it has no lyrics, much like other classical pieces in history. Much love from the U.S....
My mother and I went to see Riverdance about 4 to 5 years ago, and when this song played, I burst into tears. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Ever.
You would be very welcome my friend. Unfortunately you are one of many of sons and daughters that Éire has lost due to hardships and foreign oppression. Nár lagaí Dia do lámh mo dheartháir.
I can't describe why I love this piece so much. It gives me goosebumps every single time. Maybe it's about the 'howling' sound of the Uilleann Pipes, which are stunningly gorgeous.
@guy Mackenzie The music is obviously powerful, but when set with the scenery it is even more moving. Add to that the bit of prose and it grabs my heart. The line " Oh laddie,Are you going just now?Can’t you stay awhile longer?Sit and we will share the last golden dropOf the wee dram that is you and me.This chokes me up. My father passed when I was two, so never knew him. I do my best to spend time with my kids as often as possible.
Thank you so much for sharing! Davy Spillane is amazing. He plays with so much heart and soul that it makes me cry every time I hear this song. Thanks for adding the pictures of Ireland and Scotland. Just beautiful :)
Cú Chulainn, also spelled Cú Chulaind or Cúchulainn; Irish for "Culann's Hound") is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore.[2] He is believed to be an incarnation of the god Lugh, who is also his father. - Wikipedia

Miguel Gonzalez Music has no nationality,Beautiful music even more so,but if you feel an inexplicable connection perhaps you are a descendant of the san patricios.
If it could be humanly discerned, when a person`s soul repents and wordlessly cries out to the LORD, then this is the nearest I think that it may possibly sound like.
To any Scots listening to this who mistake it for Scottish - this is an IRISH song about an IRISH legend (Cú Chulann), played by an IRISH man (Davy Spillane) using an IRISH instrument (the uileann pipes), so your 'Scottish pride' when hearing this is VERY much misplaced.
@@janishannes9221 You see, the 'Celts are Celts' line doesn't fly with me. The Ulster Plantation was formed by Scottish as well as English settlers who stole the land from the Irish. That's why the Irish resentment to the English alone has always puzzled me. The Scots displaced the Irish just as the English did, but Ireland lets them off, 'Scott-free' for it. Secondly, I know the Scotts love their bagpipes, but they sound God-awful to the rest of us. The uileann pipes produce a softer and much more melodious sound, and the Irish don't use them to wage a brutal assault on the ears of anyone around them, unlike the Scotts. There's something aggressive about the bagpipes, and they're still used today by Orange men on their marches through Catholic neighbourhoods in Northern Ireland, to intimidate Irish Catholics. Above all else, as I said, they sound shite.
@@brigit8587 Tell that to the Catholics of Northern Ireland, who are forced to put up with the descendants of Scottish settlers marching through their neighbourhoods with those awful pipes that could pierce an eardrum.
Stunningly melancholic music about Cú Chulainn who was a famous warrior from Irish mythology who is sad because he has killed his son in battle. The piece was written by Bill Whelan and masterfully played here by Davy Spillane. One thing i find strange is your use of the truly beautiful Scottish castle Eilean Donan instead of one of 30,000 irish castles (fair enough a lot of them are in ruins plus the Cú Chulainn story has strong links to Scotland) 😃😃 Nevertheless thank you for sharing this music and the images of Eilean Donan Castle which is a truly amazing place
There's even a place in Dundalk that is sometimes referred to as "Cú Chulainn's castle" though, admittedly, it's not as scenic as this Scottish one. Geographically, Dundalk makes more sense.
Yes, Dundalk in County Louth makes more sense . County Louth in Irish, is called Condae an Lú, or, An Lú. This reflects the folklore, surrounding Cú Chulainn.
+Matt Hall The song is the lament of the hero cu Chulainn. The story comes from a series of myths and legends called the Ulster Cycle. In the final section of the story there is a battle where Chulainn fights and kills a young warrior. Chulainn later discovers the warrior is his son, and this song is his lament. (Having sons of my own , the sound of it tends to hit home, and it probably touches something of my own Celtic blood as well.) There are all sorts of nefarious goings on that lead to this terrible accident taking place. The cycle is a great read. There is a nicely written children's version by Rosemary Sutcliff, which I still read despite being in my fifties now. I hope this helps
+Hamish Hudson Oh dear - I did some delving and the stories is much sadder than I remember. No battle. If you wish to find out why Cu Chulainn cries out, follow this link: bardmythologies.com/the-son-of-cuchulainn/ His sons name was Connla
Hamish Hudson Thanks for looking this up dude, appreciate it. I've always found this song to be incredibly powerful song emotionally, but this story adds a whole other layer to it. Can't listen to it in quite the same way.
Cú Chulainn, also spelt Cú Chulaind or Cúchulainn, Irish for "Culann's Hound" and sometimes known in English as Cuhullin, is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore. In Cú Chulainn's youth he is so beautiful the Ulstermen worry that, without a wife of his own, he will steal their wives and ruin their daughters. They search all over Ireland for a suitable wife for him, but he will have none but Emer, daughter of Forgall Monach. However, Forgall is opposed to the match. He suggests that Cú Chulainn should train in arms with the renowned warrior-woman Scáthach in the land of Alba (Scotland), hoping the ordeal will be too much for him and he will be killed. Cú Chulainn takes up the challenge, travelling to her residence Dún Scáith (Fortress of Shadows) on the Isle of Skye. As such Cuchulainn (born Setanta) was born in Ireland, but raised in Scotland for a number of years. Western Scotland was part of a kingdom called Dal Riada, which encompassed most of the eastern part of Northern Ireland and the western shores (and islands) of western Scotland. As such, the tale of Cuchulainn does belong to the history of Ireland, and Scotland, and Manannan (Isle of Man), which were all Irish Kingdoms at one time or another, hence the mutual culture, language and music. End of story -- (While Cuchulainn is common to the mythology of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of man, the tune is not 'traditional', it was written by Bill Whelan, as part of the music for the interval show for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Ireland had won the contest the previous year and Moya Doherty, a producer with RTE (Irish Television) was given the task of coming up with an interval act for the show -- it was Moya Doherty who saw previous film of Michael Flatley (ua-cam.com/video/auYkScAuYSI/v-deo.html) and Jean Butler (ua-cam.com/video/ZbHNV7e2cJo/v-deo.html) dancing in shows performed by The Chieftains, sometimes both in the same show (ua-cam.com/video/NneLbWB0b7o/v-deo.html) and came up with the idea of a modern dance show, based on traditional Irish dance and music. She engaged Bill Whelan to write the music for the show, which debuted as the interval act on Eurovision, but had it's first full showing, as an entity of it's own, in 1995, at the Point Depot (Now the 3Arena) in Dublin.) Michael Flatley later would go on to have other shows written, in which he would become better known in his own right, although he previously admitted that it was the Chieftains who gave him the start and the many opportunities to perfom Irish dance. (ua-cam.com/video/xOzhjhYOWXY/v-deo.html). ps, He would even get a 'bit part' on Britain's Got Talent (ua-cam.com/video/8WKhPKL0Tx8/v-deo.html).
Having some British background, this tune resonates profoundly with my being. I cannot claim direct Gaelic ancestry. Like ALL I am mixed. Long live the spirit.........
More than a few shades of Celt knocking around the British Isles. Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx even cornish. If you've got English blood in you there's every chance you have some Celt too. But anyway, we all come from the same place if you go back far enough and good music is god music no matter where you're from.
Pat Aherne oh, do educate us all then, Fuckface. Where was the first "Irish" person from that was so totally not the same place as the first "English"? Totally separate gene pools, no doubt. If you can take it back as far as the beaker people and the neolithic I promise to be genuinely impressed. Here's an interesting fact, apropos of nothing; as much as 0.5% of the male human population may be descendants of Genghis Khan.
Eilean Donan Castle, Wester Ross, Scotland. Once home to the MacKenzies of Wester ross, and given to Clan MacRae for valor in protecting the MacKenzie Clan Chief. Blown to bits by the English in 1719 and completely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. One of the most precious places on this planet.
I weep a flood of tears every time I hear it . I feel the spirit of my grandmother , Mary O'Molloy Davis , who was forced to leave her home in County West Meath with her brothers and sisters , hovering over me and protecting me . God bless my Irish roots .
I'm from Belgium and I find this a really great sound. I love the Irisch music. 7 years ago mij brother (48 years) died en evertime when I heard that song I had to cry. When I die they may play this song to on my funerall.
A lament. This piece performed with so much expression by Spillane instantly evoked an image in my mind- of an old woman losing her last Son in war, alone and wailing in her empty home as she struggles to function with life's most basic, now grueling, chores. I see faded lyrics above as I write this long overdue message, suggesting my image may be "wrong," but I learned from this what a lament is to me- having never known the form before- and realizing it speaks (or should) to the core of us all, as we ride the sometimes painful waves of life. Just incredible.
This is so beautiful. It touches your heart and gives you the feeling of wanderlust, at least for me. Visiting foreign countries you‘ve never seen before. 🇮🇪🏴
I am from Germany and I really really love Celtic Music. This is such a wonderful piece of Music and I hear it again and again. I wish I could travel to Ireland sometimes...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. It is one thing for someone to be able to play an instrument; it is entirely a different level for the instrument to be an extension of the musician. That's what this sounded like.
Im hearing this as i type this and its..its.....sooooo beautifully deep and awe inspiring that i cant help but to have tears and there not tears of sadnees i dont think just tears of beauty if any1 but me gets that
No You're not the only one. I'm Irish myself and like a lot of people stressed out in this modern life >its a beautiful thing , an act of grace really when we make time and time makes for us moments like these when we know on a deep almost subconscious level what it means to be in touch with what's at the core of being human. You should take a trip to the beara peninsula. I can only imagine you would feel on a symbiotic level how this piece and other haunting pieces ( check out Maria Grigoryeva for eg.... and she's Russian !) came into being. Regards, Liam
Music that can ease a troubled mind, heal a broken heart and soothe a tormented soul. I often think of home (Ireland) when I listen to music like this particularly of this quality.
found it again.... this music goes directly to my very soul cant fully explain, but it absolutely overwhelms me each time i hear it...tears and emotion, sadness yet hope... wore out the riverdance tape someone borrowed me once i got to this...wept mate, like i'd lost someone...welling up now, wtf!
Benny Goodman does a great version of this in 1938. Look it up if you haven’t heard it. Only relation I have to Scotland is my 9th Great Grandparents came from Scotland, the Lockharts. I know my 16th Great grandfather is Allen Lockhart the 3rd, 1459-1513. They owned a castle that is today privately owned by a different family. I love ancestry.
When those of us have experienced our hearts torn in half we try to find something good out of it rather than it all being sad. The good in this is being able to share such a sweet sound for others to enjoy and touch their hearts.
my dear son loved this piece and i listen to it often in honor of him. he passed away in 2009. love him forever. his mom.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard, I remember hearing it for the first time years ago at a Riverdance performance.
Yes me too, that's where I 1st heard it, and riverdance starts to tap dance half way through, it's absolutely stunning

For my Mam and Dad, who died in Dublin at the age of 35 and my Mam at the age of 39. All they stood for rings out over Dublin in this beautiful music.

This tune and the uillean pipes have nothing to do with Scotland.
This is Irish music.

Seriously, this is like saying Japan and China are the same, wow....
I love this song/tune. Music was not part of my life until after I turned 69 years old. Then I taught myself to play the GHB, the SSP, the Native American flute and the Irish tin whistle, in that order. I am now 72 and I am playing the first 3 minutes of this tune on my tin whistle in key D. I will soon have the entire piece memorized. I will be so proud to have accomplished this personal challenge. Thank you, Davy Spillane for creating this masterpiece.
Brilliant you’ve inspired me to do the same
Well done!
great achievement
Soooo Awesome! Happy St. Paddy's day 🍀🙏💝
Hi bro. Well done. I am a pro musician and I am struggling with this one. David Spillain is a uilliann pipe god. Keep up the great work because people who don't play will never feel the great satisfaction of completing a piece of music.It makes us understand the hard work that people like David put in.
my soul is singing in tears when I hear this. I know little of irish music or the instruments being played or the history of this character. I know only that this music speaks universally to those whose hearts are open to hear
Type in the sing 'Women of Ireland' into UA-cam and see what you think of that one......
What a lovely comment - that's exactly how I feel.
Erin go bra.! 🇮🇪☘️………is breá liom an Fonn seo tá sé go hálainn.
The name of the castle is Eilean Donan. It is located on the western coast of Scotland near the isle of Skye
I'm an electronic music fan mainly, but the Irish Uilleann Pipes are truly beautiful.
These Uilleann masters literally have to work the sound out of them every second of a performance to create such emotion. When combined with orchestration as here the result transcends music. Truly magical.
This was a piece they used in 1996 Riverdance,I cried it's so beautiful
one of my all time favourite peace's of music.may all who are sad and who hear it be comforted.
This is like listening to God cry his tears
Beautiful words
It is the soul of Ireland singing
I know I’ve commented it before, but every few years I have to return to say , this is the song I want played at my funeral. It’s just so hauntingly beautiful.
Same🙏
Me too❤❤
Same here, except I can't wait for years to come back here.
I am three generations removed from the fair, distant green hills of Ireland..and yet, from the first trill of these pipes and this song, my very skin tingles , my heart beats quicker and tears push ever so close to my eyes. Irish blood, indeed, runs deep and true.
Three for me as well, and I have the same experience. It is like the music is calling me to a home I've never seen but feel in my heart.
This makes me proud to be Irish, I really want to learn the uilleann pipes they are with out a doubt the most beautiful sounding instrument I have ever heard
Seamus Ennis' tutor is the best, and if your handy with hand tools and a lathe, have accurate rifle bores. can weld,braize and bend metals; and if you can find a copy which I am lucky enough to proudly own, Wilbert Garvin wrote "the" book on how to make a set from scratch. Good luck. They must be the most haunting instrument the ingenuity of man has ever devised. I'd give a dangle berry for a full set with regulators.I've made some superb fiddles, but those pipes are a tough order to knock up.
May I ask, did you learn the Uilleann pipes?
Tears in my eyes. Aye, tears in my eyes.
I love this piece of music. A shame that Davy Spillane's name is misspelled in the credits, and that no credit is given to Bill Whelan, the composer (indeed, the end caption "Music - Davey [sic] Spillane" suggests that he wrote it). Credit (properly spelled) where it's due please.
Remember Lugh and the Tuatha Dé Dénaan on the fields of Cû Chûlainn!!!
This is so beautiful yet I wonder why there is so much hate in this world? We have the ability to create such great music like this but have it in us to self destruct. Walk in peace and then stand for a while and listen to this beautiful music.
This music is so beautiful and sad 😢🕯️👱♀️💐🕯️😔🇮🇪🇮🇪
BEST song off of the Riverdance soundtrack - such extreme raw emotion...
Something about those pipes that touches something very deep down in the soul ... if there is such a thing. I'm a cynic, but hearing this makes me wonder .... !!!
this music inspires me to spread wings and fly into a better happier life than what ive been through in the past i cannot express how much my life is turning around for the better it makes me want to shed happy tears especially the day i leave out of Virginia state and move to north Carolina and i hope this song inspires my family and people i leave behind that they too become successful enough to spread their wings and fly to wherever it is that will make them happier in life
I may be deceived once again,
yet still I go to that stone on the point by the lake waiting to hear the whisper of footsteps. "Nay, laddie, it's not love that deceives but the wicked empty heart that loses it's truth and shatters its icy shell again and again and again, to awaken no more in the place we had come to know."
It's the voice repeating, "It is gone, it is gone", that deceives.
All the people saying "music from god" and "god this and that" ect. --> This type of music derived from pagan people, ages old, with instruments crafted by masterminds of old times without the shackles of monotheism. You're spitting into the faces of the people who brought forth this kind of art, by claiming it to be inspired by the god whose fellowship has killed the very people, whose culture and art you admire. The people who developed this, did not believe in your god, they were free pagans. At least pay a certain amount of respect to germanic and celtic culture, without calling your religion into it, which didn't even exist at that time.
I mean, come on, people... the name of this piece is The lament of Cú Chulainn, and Cú Chulainn is a figure of irish celtic mythology...
Sorry, mate. God has us both covered. Whether it's my silly notion that all things good come from a loving creator or your idea that an association with that Creator somehow maligns the lives, work, and memories of your fathers, we both are giving profound respect to God and humankind.
I am deeply sorry that what I've done here has hurt and offended you (or anyone.) If it will help and if it's your wish, I can remove the video so that no further damage will be done.

First of all, you are a person of the 20th/21st century. You were not there when this all got started. So, what you know is what you have read. At best, your knowledge is from second and third hand accounts. You are not in authority to tell people how to interpret what one hears in a piece of music. So what if people interject the word god into this particular type of music. God has different meanings to different people. You are presumptuous to think that god has only one meaning. You should have addressed the person or persons who made such claims and asked them why do they have the need to put god into the mix. Then and only then can a discussion begin. Just saying.
+Guy MacKenzie please do not remove this. it has great significance to my late mother and brother. You did a magnificent work here both with sound and imagery. My deep appreciation.) 0 (
Guy MacKenzie Yeah, don't let one fool ruin it. He can take his views else where. People that even bring that up in a comment are trouble.
Amen to that!
Wow
I just finished reading a novel about Cuchulain, and I love this song. Beautiful!!
There must be somethjng to DNA memory. So many from other countries feel kinship when listening to Celtic music. My family came from Iverness to America in the early 1700's. I have felt connected to anything Scottish since I was young.
I From Brazil.. I Love the Celtic Music, during all my life, I've been listening to so beautiful and sweet celtic music,
enchants me so much purity and love that 's music...The biggest dream of my life is to know Ireland :D
I'lol help you along. Lots of rain
+sylvia young Thank You very much :)
+Roberto Whistler hope you get to visit our little island, you will have a great time
Feidhelm Ó Foghladha Thank you so much! Ireland to me, is the best place where someone can live, is a beautiful place, the mountains, the fields, the people, the music, the Celtic culture and the cold. I am totally in love and delighted with Ireland, my dream is one day can live there, and know so adorable Lady Mary Bergin. I would give everything I have just to can feel the breeze and hear so sweet Celtic music :)
I hope that God will continue to bless the lives of all Irish!
The Ireland may be small, more is a magical country which is not more in the world today.
Gently: Roberto
Roberto Whistler thanks very much for your kind words... You will have plenty of wind, rain and cold. And plenty of Irish trad music as well. Lots of Fleadh Cheoil, which is music on the streets and in the pubs. You can join in yourself and play. You will love it.
You must go and watch the beautiful game of hurling its part of our Gaelic culture and is over 3000 years old...Its our national sport. Lots of videos of hurling on youtube, you might like it...anyway my friend nice meeting you and I wish you and yours a happy and peaceful life....
I'm trying to play this on a tenor recorder. I can get the basic tune down, but those two or three top notes have me stumped. Some of those grace notes are at a transition point, which I can't seem to hit fast enough. I've never been formally trained, andi don't have the sheet music, so this tune is not easy.
reading those lines to that music really makes you close to tears....really
This music reminds me of my wife.. who was taken from me too soon.. I will never love another.. I will live my remaining days here until I can be returned to her arms.
2:50 kills me every time with chills
Listening again. Tears again. Always.
Im not Irish, im Hispanic but my love for the Irish culture and music goes beyond any borders. The people, the lifestyle, everything about it is beautiful and mystifying. The music always gets me. This song nearly brings a tear to my eye and it has no lyrics, much like other classical pieces in history. Much love from the U.S....
Hi, I love the Hispanic culture and am of Irish heritage. Did you know there is a strong link between the two?
My mother and I went to see Riverdance about 4 to 5 years ago, and when this song played, I burst into tears. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Ever.
I've not heard much Irish Music before but I must say this is one of the most incredible that I've heard thus far
The music sounds as if it came from heaven, and Ireland seems to me a place blessed by God and the faeries.
it means the cry of cu chulainn
could be a battle cry or his tears
Nazareth has been using this beautiful song in the begginning of their concerts for some time now!!brilliant
How can 47 people not like this?, your dead already
who gives a fuck what complete strangers do or don't like? shut up
You would be very welcome my friend. Unfortunately you are one of many of sons and daughters that Éire has lost due to hardships and foreign oppression. Nár lagaí Dia do lámh mo dheartháir.
Yes It Was Featured On One Of My Most All Time Favourite Riverdance The Show (1995) & Riverdance Music From The Show 1995 CD 💿 As Well Too.
this song makes me proud to be irish
I can't describe why I love this piece so much. It gives me goosebumps every single time. Maybe it's about the 'howling' sound of the Uilleann Pipes, which are stunningly gorgeous.
why i get Goose Bumps. ooh wait is it because this kind of tune touches my soul !
In love with this video already.
Thanks Sinead O'Connor for showing it to those who did not know it however it is a Music for my World.
@guy Mackenzie The music is obviously powerful, but when set with the scenery it is even more moving. Add to that the bit of prose and it grabs my heart. The line "
Oh laddie,Are you going just now?Can’t you stay awhile longer?Sit and we will share the last golden dropOf the wee dram that is you and me.This chokes me up. My father passed when I was two, so never knew him. I do my best to spend time with my kids as often as possible.
the most wonderful music!
Thank you so much for sharing! Davy Spillane is amazing. He plays with so much heart and soul that it makes me cry every time I hear this song. Thanks for adding the pictures of Ireland and Scotland. Just beautiful :)
You will always be a son of Eire and you will always be welcome in our lands. You have pride in your heritage and that I can respect a chara.
Deeply connected to me
Tears shed. music goes right to my Irish bones
I'm not even Irish, but it has the same effect on me. Just lived in Cork for a few years. Maybe it is the closeness to the vikings that surface...
IRELAND NO OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD CAN TOUCH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC. DIVINE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
Κλείστε τα μάτια, δυνατά, ανοιχτό τα παράθυρα και παραδοθείτε στην
μαγεία αυτού του κομματιού. Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο!
Merveilleux... Marvellous...Great ...I'm a breton... so... trugarez !!!! (thank you !)
"Riverdance on Broadway" is the album and you can buy this song on Amazon for .99 pounds.
Could someone please tell me what this instrument is called? I love that sound.
Thanks!
Cú Chulainn, also spelled Cú Chulaind or Cúchulainn; Irish for "Culann's Hound") is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore.[2] He is believed to be an incarnation of the god Lugh, who is also his father. - Wikipedia

I love the Erhu!!! Pipes, whistles, and string instruments are my all time favorites.

Completely understand fella….
I'm from Mexico but for some reason my heart love this kind of beautiful music
I love much more this music then Mexican music
Miguel Gonzalez Music has no nationality,Beautiful music even more so,but if you feel an inexplicable connection perhaps you are a descendant of the san patricios.
icelandmoon Right you are, Miguel. That is why the pictures are not limited to any one country.
Miguel Gonzalez You must stay in Mexico, USA doesn't want you.
***** Actually, we don't want people like you.
***** Don't worry, one day I will go to Mexico.... But not wen you want, sorry to disappoint you.
Close your eyes and see my home.
tears for my only son
every time i hear this piece of music tears spring to my eyes, it is so hauntingly beautiful
I want this played at my funeral. Wondering whether I shall hear it. No matter.
I had this played at the funeral for my aunt. The sound of the pipes is purely heartbreaking.
If it could be humanly discerned, when a person`s soul repents and wordlessly cries out to the LORD, then this is the nearest I think that it may possibly sound like.
To any Scots listening to this who mistake it for Scottish - this is an IRISH song about an IRISH legend (Cú Chulann), played by an IRISH man (Davy Spillane) using an IRISH instrument (the uileann pipes), so your 'Scottish pride' when hearing this is VERY much misplaced.
The Hound of Ulster
All is one.
I think if a Scot appreciates this it’s a compliment. I don’t think they ‘claim’ it. Be generous and appreciative. Celts are Celts.
@@janishannes9221 You see, the 'Celts are Celts' line doesn't fly with me. The Ulster Plantation was formed by Scottish as well as English settlers who stole the land from the Irish. That's why the Irish resentment to the English alone has always puzzled me. The Scots displaced the Irish just as the English did, but Ireland lets them off, 'Scott-free' for it.
Secondly, I know the Scotts love their bagpipes, but they sound God-awful to the rest of us. The uileann pipes produce a softer and much more melodious sound, and the Irish don't use them to wage a brutal assault on the ears of anyone around them, unlike the Scotts. There's something aggressive about the bagpipes, and they're still used today by Orange men on their marches through Catholic neighbourhoods in Northern Ireland, to intimidate Irish Catholics.
Above all else, as I said, they sound shite.
@@brigit8587 Tell that to the Catholics of Northern Ireland, who are forced to put up with the descendants of Scottish settlers marching through their neighbourhoods with those awful pipes that could pierce an eardrum.
Stunningly melancholic music about Cú Chulainn who was a famous warrior from Irish mythology who is sad because he has killed his son in battle. The piece was written by Bill Whelan and masterfully played here by Davy Spillane. One thing i find strange is your use of the truly beautiful Scottish castle Eilean Donan instead of one of 30,000 irish castles (fair enough a lot of them are in ruins plus the Cú Chulainn story has strong links to
Scotland) 😃😃
Nevertheless thank you for sharing this music and the images of Eilean Donan Castle which is a truly amazing place
There's even a place in Dundalk that is sometimes referred to as "Cú Chulainn's castle" though, admittedly, it's not as scenic as this Scottish one. Geographically, Dundalk makes more sense.
Yes, Dundalk in County Louth makes more sense . County Louth in Irish, is called Condae an Lú, or, An Lú. This reflects the folklore, surrounding Cú Chulainn.
By God, this is such a sad, sad story. I remember turning the last page and tears streaming down my face. This music brings it all back.
What story?
+Matt Hall The song is the lament of the hero cu Chulainn. The story comes from a series of myths and legends called the Ulster Cycle. In the final section of the story there is a battle where Chulainn fights and kills a young warrior. Chulainn later discovers the warrior is his son, and this song is his lament. (Having sons of my own , the sound of it tends to hit home, and it probably touches something of my own Celtic blood as well.) There are all sorts of nefarious goings on that lead to this terrible accident taking place. The cycle is a great read. There is a nicely written children's version by Rosemary Sutcliff, which I still read despite being in my fifties now. I hope this helps
+Hamish Hudson Oh dear - I did some delving and the stories is much sadder than I remember. No battle. If you wish to find out why Cu Chulainn cries out, follow this link: bardmythologies.com/the-son-of-cuchulainn/ His sons name was Connla
Hamish Hudson
Thanks for looking this up dude, appreciate it. I've always found this song to be incredibly powerful song emotionally, but this story adds a whole other layer to it. Can't listen to it in quite the same way.
Cú Chulainn, also spelt Cú Chulaind or Cúchulainn, Irish for "Culann's Hound" and sometimes known in English as Cuhullin, is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore. In Cú Chulainn's youth he is so beautiful the Ulstermen worry that, without a wife of his own, he will steal their wives and ruin their daughters. They search all over Ireland for a suitable wife for him, but he will have none but Emer, daughter of Forgall Monach. However, Forgall is opposed to the match. He suggests that Cú Chulainn should train in arms with the renowned warrior-woman Scáthach in the land of Alba (Scotland), hoping the ordeal will be too much for him and he will be killed. Cú Chulainn takes up the challenge, travelling to her residence Dún Scáith (Fortress of Shadows) on the Isle of Skye. As such Cuchulainn (born Setanta) was born in Ireland, but raised in Scotland for a number of years. Western Scotland was part of a kingdom called Dal Riada, which encompassed most of the eastern part of Northern Ireland and the western shores (and islands) of western Scotland. As such, the tale of Cuchulainn does belong to the history of Ireland, and Scotland, and Manannan (Isle of Man), which were all Irish Kingdoms at one time or another, hence the mutual culture, language and music. End of story -- (While Cuchulainn is common to the mythology of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of man, the tune is not 'traditional', it was written by Bill Whelan, as part of the music for the interval show for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Ireland had won the contest the previous year and Moya Doherty, a producer with RTE (Irish Television) was given the task of coming up with an interval act for the show -- it was Moya Doherty who saw previous film of Michael Flatley (ua-cam.com/video/auYkScAuYSI/v-deo.html) and Jean Butler (ua-cam.com/video/ZbHNV7e2cJo/v-deo.html) dancing in shows performed by The Chieftains, sometimes both in the same show (ua-cam.com/video/NneLbWB0b7o/v-deo.html) and came up with the idea of a modern dance show, based on traditional Irish dance and music. She engaged Bill Whelan to write the music for the show, which debuted as the interval act on Eurovision, but had it's first full showing, as an entity of it's own, in 1995, at the Point Depot (Now the 3Arena) in Dublin.) Michael Flatley later would go on to have other shows written, in which he would become better known in his own right, although he previously admitted that it was the Chieftains who gave him the start and the many opportunities to perfom Irish dance. (ua-cam.com/video/xOzhjhYOWXY/v-deo.html). ps, He would even get a 'bit part' on Britain's Got Talent (ua-cam.com/video/8WKhPKL0Tx8/v-deo.html).
Great Effort Post, I appreciate it. Thank you
This piece calms my soul
Ireland, Isle of the Saints
This is being played when my time comes!❤
This is a beautiful representation of Ireland in a musical masterpiece.
Riverdance last night was SUPERB I found Tara Howley's rendition of Caoineadh Cú Chulainn played on uilleann pipes especially moving.
a man that makes men of men and a true understanding of the women of eire.
Having some British background, this tune resonates profoundly with my being. I cannot claim direct Gaelic ancestry. Like ALL I am mixed. Long live the spirit.........
More than a few shades of Celt knocking around the British Isles. Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx even cornish. If you've got English blood in you there's every chance you have some Celt too. But anyway, we all come from the same place if you go back far enough and good music is god music no matter where you're from.
Fortunately my quarters are British friendly! Grin
Pat Aherne oh, do educate us all then, Fuckface.
Where was the first "Irish" person from that was so totally not the same place as the first "English"? Totally separate gene pools, no doubt. If you can take it back as far as the beaker people and the neolithic I promise to be genuinely impressed.
Here's an interesting fact, apropos of nothing; as much as 0.5% of the male human population may be descendants of Genghis Khan.
*Sigh*
just gorgeous
Eilean Donan Castle, Wester Ross, Scotland. Once home to the MacKenzies of Wester ross, and given to Clan MacRae for valor in protecting the MacKenzie Clan Chief. Blown to bits by the English in 1719 and completely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. One of the most precious places on this planet.
Thank you Mr.MacKenzie,we are McMurchy a sept of McKenzie.)O(This is beyond words for me.My gratitude.
Doug MacKenzie have seen this castle a few times in picture for visiting Scotland, thanks for the knowledge.
shes a fine castle btw :)
Visited Eilean Donan about 20 years ago and it looked every bit as good as I had hoped. Eric MacRae
I weep a flood of tears every time I hear it . I feel the spirit of my grandmother , Mary O'Molloy Davis , who was forced to leave her home in County West Meath with her brothers and sisters , hovering over me and protecting me . God bless my Irish roots .
I'm from Belgium and I find this a really great sound. I love the Irisch music. 7 years ago mij brother (48 years) died en evertime when I heard that song I had to cry. When I die they may play this song to on my funerall.
A lament. This piece performed with so much expression by Spillane instantly evoked an image in my mind- of an old woman losing her last Son in war, alone and wailing in her empty home as she struggles to function with life's most basic, now grueling, chores. I see faded lyrics above as I write this long overdue message, suggesting my image may be "wrong," but I learned from this what a lament is to me- having never known the form before- and realizing it speaks (or should) to the core of us all, as we ride the sometimes painful waves of life. Just incredible.
I'm Chinese. Because of this song, I called up the Irish embassy and asked, "where can I learn uilleann pipe in Singapore?"
This is so beautiful. It touches your heart and gives you the feeling of wanderlust, at least for me. Visiting foreign countries you‘ve never seen before. 🇮🇪🏴
I am from Germany and I really really love Celtic Music. This is such a wonderful piece of Music and I hear it again and again. I wish I could travel to Ireland sometimes...
beautiful...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
It is one thing for someone to be able to play an instrument; it is entirely a different level for the instrument to be an extension of the musician. That's what this sounded like.
Couldn't agree more, Chris. Although, the uilleann pipe is a hauntingly beautiful instrument, which, in my opinion, is unequalled.
I want this to be played at my wedding.
Im hearing this as i type this and its..its.....sooooo beautifully deep and awe inspiring that i cant help but to have tears and there not tears of sadnees i dont think just tears of beauty if any1 but me gets that
I can feel you - from Hannover, Germany!
No You're not the only one. I'm Irish myself and like a lot of people stressed out in this modern life >its a beautiful thing , an act of grace really when we make time and time makes for us moments like these when we know on a deep almost subconscious level what it means to be in touch with what's at the core of being human. You should take a trip to the beara peninsula. I can only imagine you would feel on a symbiotic level how this piece and other haunting pieces ( check out Maria Grigoryeva for eg.... and she's Russian !) came into being. Regards, Liam
Music that can ease a troubled mind, heal a broken heart and soothe a tormented soul. I often think of home (Ireland) when I listen to music like this particularly of this quality.
found it again....
this music goes directly to my very soul
cant fully explain, but it absolutely overwhelms me each time i hear it...tears and emotion, sadness yet hope...
wore out the riverdance tape someone borrowed me once i got to this...wept mate, like i'd lost someone...welling up now, wtf!
Benny Goodman does a great version of this in 1938. Look it up if you haven’t heard it. Only relation I have to Scotland is my 9th Great Grandparents came from Scotland, the Lockharts. I know my 16th Great grandfather is Allen Lockhart the 3rd, 1459-1513. They owned a castle that is today privately owned by a different family. I love ancestry.
When those of us have experienced our hearts torn in half we try to find something good out of it rather than it all being sad. The good in this is being able to share such a sweet sound for others to enjoy and touch their hearts.
