Ok.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!
I am literally, at the very moment, trying not to bounce out of my seat listening to this one. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I think my favorite bit is when it gets to one of my favorite CW lines ever:
"Ghile Mear
The Wind and Sun
The Sleep is over, Dream is done
To the West where fire sets
To the Ghile Mear, the day begun!!!!"
And right at the end, when then all hold that last.single.note. Pure poetry.
Ok, done now.

I agree!  I think this is one of the best CW group songs.  Everyone is involved and they all do a great job.

I love this song too! My fave lines are:

Lift your voice and raise the sail
Know that love will never fail
Know that i will sing to you
Each night as i dream of you

I love this part because of the harmonies in the music absolutely GORGEOUS!

 I LOVE it, too.  But what I like best is hearing it live, Ray's drum will shake the seat you are in. Grin BOOM!

I scare myself when I play it in the car and crank it all the way up- we have an older car so the base shakes the rear view mirror. I like it. Grin

When Ray hits that big drum the first time, it tends to get your attention.

This is definitely one of my favorites. Hearing it live is the best. If you are fortunate enough to have closer seats, check out Des' reaction. He jumps everytime and he knows it's coming!

It's indeed one of their best. All the women singing together, and the sound of Ireland just appears so strong in that song. Perfect melodies, the right voices for the right lines, and the instruments.  Cool
I have to agree with Chris, my favorite lines are also: You Brought the wind and sun,
                                                                         The Sleep is over dream is done,
                                                                          To the west were fire sets,
                                                                          To the ghile mear, the day begun.

It's a perfect after the drums, Ray and Nickey are just freaking amazing, and Mairead, the little elf who shows her beauty and sound. Wink

I love it Grin

My biggest problem is I want to stand and clap through the entire song!!    In Toledo last year the members couldn't make it through without rising and getting into it-- the whole venue stood when we did and everyone was soooo into the number-- best time ever and the girls were even a little got when we stood but then they REALLY got into it to.  I will always remember that!!   That was when the lady behind me said, " You people are addictive!!"

This is also my favorite song. It really gets me going when I am in the car. "Mo Ghile Mear" and "The Soft Goodbye" its a toss up.
