Title: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Jonas on September 23, 2007, 06:05PM This is my favorite song. I love the drum solo and the intro the choir does. When they do the song on tour, is know that love will shine through darkness sung by Chloe and can you feel the river run... sung by Meav or Hayley depending which one of them's there and the other solos are sung by the same girls?
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Trouble on September 23, 2007, 06:12PM When Hayley would was touring she would sing Meavs parts in the songs. Chloe and Hayley did the Last Rose of Summer song and it was very good!
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Moscapoet on September 24, 2007, 12:55PM Jonas it really is a great song! It incorporates all the elements and is simply awesome in person! The dueling drums with Ray and Nicky are fantastic. I've seen it now three times in person and it is the piece they use just before the 20 minute intermission. Then, at the end they do a finale/reprise with Mairead doing just smoking fiddle work that would melt titanium. I hope they keep it in whatever program they develop next.

Thank you, but I still would like to know if the know that love will shine... line was always sung by Chloe during the tour.Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: kathleen on September 24, 2007, 05:52PM I love this song.

How funny!Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Kimberly AJ on September 25, 2007, 04:24PM In the tour, Chloe handles parts of the 2 verses of this song with her hand held with Lisa's as an action.
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Celtic Lass on September 26, 2007, 02:40PM Dosen't she do that in the DVD too?
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Lotte on September 27, 2007, 08:40AM Yeah, but not really that long, it's when Lisa takes her hand and walks forward with her so Chloë can sing her solo

Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: gpsysngbrd on October 03, 2007, 09:22PM This is definately one of my favorite songs as well. I remember from the tour that there was some awesome choreography during the drum break. Wish we could have seen it on the DVD!
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Kimberly AJ on October 11, 2007, 05:54PM One of the parts that makes me giggle always is Chloe and Orla clutching their chests and shaking their shoulders. I've seen it twice. ;D

... Bill Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Celtic Liz on October 30, 2007, 07:40PM i think that this song is amazing. My mom has never heard this song before the concert. So when time came up for CW to sing it my mom was there siting and watching and at the very end when they hit the drums really hard my mom just screames and said that she loves the end of it.Then she had to tell other people bout it also.
Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Maggie on November 01, 2007, 04:46AM Yes it's a very stirring song, as it was meant to be.
It was written about Bonnie Prince Charlie of the House of Stuart. He was born in Italy, but the Scots always regarded him as a Scottish Hero. There were high hopes for him to become King and reverse the religious prejudice of the times, but it was not to be and after several unsuccessful Jacobite uprisings, and the bloodbath at Culloden, he had to go into hiding. He was secretly spirited away by Flora MacDonald to the Western Isles, as in the song "Over the sea to Skye", then to Europe and finally Italy where after several affairs and years of alcoholism, he died. So, not such a "Gallant Darling". :( Title: Re: Mo Ghile Mear Post by: Jim M. on November 24, 2007, 09:26PM And, then, thanks to reincarnation, and the magic of television, he came back as a US politician, who shall go unnamed.

Title: About “Mo Ghile Mear” Post by: Parker Gabriel on March 19, 2014, 10:28PM Read the translated lyrics and you will find that their overall tone is rather sad. :( :'( You can expect little different from such a ballad about such a tragic historical figure. |
