Title: At the Ceili Post by: Jonas on December 22, 2007, 07:25PM What language was the choir speaking in that song? Was it Gaelic? ???
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Aria on December 22, 2007, 11:39PM I think the choir is simply vocalizing or, in other words, they are not singing real words, just made up syllables.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 23, 2007, 04:35AM You think it is a backup?
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Jammalot on December 23, 2007, 04:53PM I always thought they were just 'Ladieda-ing'....Just singing 'La'..... ;D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 23, 2007, 05:35PM This song on the lead is in English. Thanks to David Downes for this.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: dougfrombaltimore on January 01, 2009, 08:27PM He'll be back before the hay needs savin'...... Anyone know what that means? Is it an Irish reference for something special?
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: hesprit on January 01, 2009, 08:45PM Found this on a website that talks about the various methods of drying and storing hay:
Quote Saving the hay meant getting it so dry of moisture that it could be stored in airless conditions for periods of months. If any moisture remained in the crop when it was finally stored it tended to ferment, producing heat and a steam, like haze that could be smelled from afar. It rotted the hay and left a fine covering of dust particles on that which remained. This dust was deadly to both animal and person alike if breathed in. 'Farmer's Lung' was a well-known term for a lung disease that resulted in the premature demise of many who worked with unsaved hay. Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: dougfrombaltimore on January 01, 2009, 08:54PM THANKS !!
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: lifeismusic2009 on January 19, 2009, 09:12AM What cd is this song on? I know it's on both the GJ DVD and ANJ DVD, but i can't find it on a CD!! I'm going crazy!
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: tc84 on January 19, 2009, 09:20AM you can find it on the ANJ DELUXE CD
coco x Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Kimberly AJ on January 19, 2009, 10:08AM I like the full version of this song. :)
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: lifeismusic2009 on January 19, 2009, 09:28PM thanks, i found it on iTunes thank goodness.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Starman on January 28, 2009, 05:35PM He'll be back before the hay needs savin'...... Anyone know what that means? Is it an Irish reference for something special? If you'd ever encountered any "unsaved' hay and had to handle it, you'd not forget what it means! What a mess! :D ;D Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Kimberly AJ on March 22, 2009, 08:04AM I know it is originally performed by Lisa, Meav and Orla, but the two have been exchanged for Alex and Lynn.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on March 22, 2009, 12:09PM The vocalizing that the choir does could be other "mouth music" or just... well, vocalizing. :D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 23, 2009, 04:49PM Alex, Lynn, and Lisa performed this in Knoxville and it looked like they were having so much fun on stage with the choreography and the male backups! i laughed and sang along, and the audience really seemed to get into the performance!
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Starman on March 23, 2009, 05:11PM I figure one of these nights Lynn is going to choose the rich guy! :D ;D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Jim M. on March 23, 2009, 05:15PM I bet her contract says she can only choose the poor guy.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 23, 2009, 05:33PM it would be quite funny if she chose the rich one tho! i would think that would be a good April Fool's day joke (anyone know if they have a concert on April Fool's day?)
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Trouble on March 23, 2009, 05:38PM *checks the Forum Calendar* No, they don't.
I have to say I love this song. It's so fun to watch. Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 23, 2009, 05:39PM it is one of the most viewed videos i have on youtube heehee
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Lanti SF on March 28, 2009, 06:57PM Probably for Meav's look during "a life of washing dishes"
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 30, 2009, 12:40PM heehee yeah that's pretty funny. i love the dresses they wear though (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl)
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Celtic Lass on March 30, 2009, 02:41PM (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl) YAY! I'm not the only one. I'll tell ya' it ain't easy! Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 30, 2009, 02:45PM (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl) YAY! I'm not the only one. I'll tell ya' it ain't easy! Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Celtic Lass on March 30, 2009, 02:51PM Depends what the scheme is.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 30, 2009, 04:44PM oh nothing elaborate... i just like to jazz things up and overexaggerate a lil bit. i really would like to find a dress like that tho (i need more dresses in my life) lol ::)
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on March 30, 2009, 07:02PM Ladies... I have a sewing machine, and can follow most any pattern. ;)
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 30, 2009, 07:16PM Ladies... I have a sewing machine, and can follow most any pattern. ;) Chris is a GENIUS! lol Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on March 30, 2009, 07:19PM Ladies... I have a sewing machine, and can follow most any pattern. ;) Chris is a GENIUS! lol Seriously, if you guys want Ceili dresses we could figure something out. Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Celtic Lass on March 31, 2009, 01:37PM Thats the problem Chris, I can't find a pattern!
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on March 31, 2009, 02:29PM We might be able to come up with something- I have a friend who is really good at making patterns. I'll see if I can get him to help us out.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on March 31, 2009, 07:38PM how cool would it be to do those dresses? then we could twirl and shake it to our hearts content lol
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on March 31, 2009, 09:59PM OOOOOH! We could do a cover of "At the Ceili" wearing those dresses! And tape it and present it to the girls! ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on April 01, 2009, 07:14PM Chris, your genius is showing... ;D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on April 01, 2009, 10:22PM Hehe, why thank you. ;D
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on April 05, 2009, 10:00PM OOOOOH! We could do a cover of "At the Ceili" wearing those dresses! And tape it and present it to the girls! ;D ;D ;D This would be a seriously AWESOME project to undertake, though I'm not exactly sure how we could make it happen... ???Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Lisa and Helen fanatic on April 05, 2009, 11:47PM OOOOOH! We could do a cover of "At the Ceili" wearing those dresses! And tape it and present it to the girls! ;D ;D ;D Wow...you're plotting sounds insanely awesome. I've wanted one of those dresses, which apparently isn't much more than just a wrap, since I saw it the first time. How much fun would that be? Especially Lisa's part, she seems to do the most twirling and swishing with her dress. But we should totally do a forum-wide "At the Ceili" performance from each city, colaborate and edit footage from each city, and send it to them. lol. Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on April 06, 2009, 08:39AM DOOOD! I totally like this idea. I wonder how we'd co-ordinate it though, lol.
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: celticheart18 on April 06, 2009, 02:19PM Excellent ideas! The coordination is the tricky bit. Gonna have to do some major thinking and plotting to get this thingy going lol
Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on April 06, 2009, 03:05PM Well I'm all for it!
The only thing I could think of is this: Each person or group would record an entire version of the song. Then, they would send the video to someone who would cut and paste the clips they get into one cohesive unit. Just my two cents. I am totally in. ;D Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Lisa and Helen fanatic on April 06, 2009, 03:36PM Well I'm all for it! The only thing I could think of is this: Each person or group would record an entire version of the song.

We just need to get the word out around the forum. I guess if we do this, we should probably skip the dress part though. Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: raven_christina on April 06, 2009, 03:48PM Maybe. But yeah, I'm in!
So, who's with me! Let's do it! Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Lisa and Helen fanatic on April 06, 2009, 04:05PM I started a thread to get the project rolling.

Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Wyle_E on October 02, 2012, 10:30AM heehee yeah that's pretty funny. i love the dresses they wear though (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl) The formal gowns in the rest of the show are spectacular, but those ceili dresses look so huggable.Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Emer Dreamer on October 02, 2012, 05:14PM heehee yeah that's pretty funny. i love the dresses they wear though (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl) The formal gowns in the rest of the show are spectacular, but those ceili dresses look so huggable.Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Celtic Chan on October 02, 2012, 05:37PM heehee yeah that's pretty funny. i love the dresses they wear though (secretly plotting to find a swishy Irish dress in which to dance and twirl) The formal gowns in the rest of the show are spectacular, but those ceili dresses look so huggable.Title: Re: At the Ceili Post by: Emer Dreamer on October 02, 2012, 05:40PM Good guess!! :D
