I picked "Send Me A Song".  All of the songs are so good.  It's hard to pick only one.

Send Me a Song is tops with me, and The Soft Goodbye runs a very close second.

I've done some research on Brendan Graham and found that he is a writer and novelist.  He is also involved with the songs "You Raise Me Up", "Sing Out", "The Blessing" and solely "The Voice".  A very sincere thank you, Mr. Graham.  These songs have touched many hearts and lives...  And thank you Mr. Downes for setting them to perfection with the greatest group of artists and musicians to come about.

My friend's Aunt is very good friends with him (she lives in Ireland). My friend's Mom has read all of his books (which he autographed for her!) and says they're wonderful.

My top 5 favorite Celtic Woman songs were all written or co-written by Brendan Graham, including one of my favorite songs EVER, Christmas Pipes!  Grin Grin Grin

He's brilliant, in my opinion, along with David Downes of course, as well all already know. Grin

Oh man, I love Christmas Pipes... Grin  That's my favorite one on the Christmas dvd.
Emily - I didn't know Brendan Graham wrote that one too..!  I looked it up on the dvd and sure enough, there he is again.
That's awesome!  And David is sheer genius with the arrangement...   Grin  Wow, what a team.

Mine too!!! It's definitely in my list of favorite CW songs of all-time. It's brilliant, in my opinion. Lisa's parts are my favorite.  Grin

Every time I think that there's no way they'll be able to top ANJ, I remember that we've got David Downes putting everything together and Brendan Graham helping to write some of the music, and that always makes me feel better.  Cheesy

WOW, it was really hard to choose, but I went with 'Green the Whole Year Round'.  I just can't get it out of my head..... Shocked
Hey that's a Lisa song too, I hope it gets on one of the CD's.

“Come Carry Me“ and “A Haunting Song“ by Ann Myler.

The songs are on an Album named Celtic Angels.

Hi Ina,
I checked on the internet but could not find a sample song or the lyrics. 
But that is interesting that you found the two songs, I have never heard of them before -
and your English is just fine. 

My favorite choice was "Homecoming" because I love the instrumentals at the end of the song
and think it is a great prelude to "The Deer's Cry' on Lisa's CD.

Someone really special gave me Chloe's first album as a gift.
I llisten to it quite often when going to sleep and both of those songs are very pleasant.

All of them. Every, single one of them. I'm sorry but, I can't pick one over the other. I love Send Me A Song. Should I pick that one? Wait I can't because I love At The Ceili. Maybe that one. No, hold it cause I also love ... and ... and. See my point? I have to say ... all of them.

But, I did go ahead and tick The Soft Goodbye because, with Lisa, Meav and Chloe, that is one of my absolute favorites, from the 2004 Helix Center DVD.
