Yes, yes … another lazy music video post from me.
I have been listening to this singer ever since I watched the movie Brave and found the soundtrack on youtube. I have listend to Julie Fowlis before … but am finding a renewed likening of her again.
It’s a fast paced song … and it’s all in Gaelic…though Scottish Gaelic … and in general my Irish is already sketchy at best … so I cannot follow along very well … but I LOVE this.
I didn’t understand a word she sang — but WOW — she has a lovely voice! Thanks for sharing! By the way, I can’t understand half of what Moya Brennan says either, but I love listening to her as well.
Ohh … lol….she was in Clannad …. a legendary band for sure nod nods
Doesn’t matter if I could understand one word she sang – it was melodic and beautiful Deaf Shepherd and then the boom box Cuimhn Aagad my god I loved it all !!!! More of these please, I was dancing in my chair!
xxxx
*couldn’t* see I was too excited to spell correctly!
lol…I know …it was lively wasn’t it?
ey that is was and err best box not boom box ..I’m so old
beat woman beat box! …and only realised Deaf Shepherd played after her song.. a random one snuck in there – but they were also amazing..didn’t you think I was not making sense? lol
This was such an awesome song! Reminds me of the movie “Brave” =)
LOL … oh does it now? I wonder why??? lol. Goofball *smiles*
Thank you for the beautiful song. Years ago I roamed Scotland and I love the old places and the good music/beer.
Nods… it is a lovely place indeed.
ach, it stirs up my ancestral blood.
wait, no one understood what she said?
oh phew, I thought it was just me… late night *giggles*
*giggles* … and people say I am hard to understand!
Now … where are my waffles?????
Katiekins!! I couldn’t stop bopping and she’s very pretty. Loved it, hugs from me to you! Mwaaah! …Paula xx
I know..it was a lively tune wasn’t it? (and by the way…I STILL owe you an email … I have not forgotten.)
One more oh….isn’t bopping a term for errr…. uhm … nevermind *giggles*
I like to imagine what she’s singing. I think she’s saying some clever lyrics about how she was scorned by a lover, but kicking his butt to the curb. She has better things to conquer. The song sounds empowering anyway. LOVE it!
I love that translation! lol … Yahhh….for things to conquer nod nods.
I love the quality of her voice and the pace of the song…definitely a bouncy song!
I know … I feel like dancing when I listen to it!
What a fantastic song. And that voice!!!
Nods…she sings some slower ones too…and it is heavenly.
So beautiful Katie, I wish I could speak the Gaelic. I am obsessed with Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series… Have u read? And then Brave came out. I love Julie Fowlis after Brave too. Makes me want to do a jig, er, well, not sure a jig is appropriate
Oh…nods… I have read a few of the Outlander books….uhm…*tries to remember* ….uhmm…his name is Jamie?!?!? He was the sassenach nod nods lol. I cannot remember the main woman character though (besides… they wrote his character sooooo hunkily. (Yes…I made that word up…’hunkily’…it SHOULD be a real word damnit.)
As for jigs….it’s a bit different…the Irish dancing and the Scottish. Irish is a bit faster … and the Scottish style … their legs a bit more bowed as they dance. (I think they lead their 1st step opposite in a lot of the dances too … but I could be wrong.)
Yesssss Jamie and Claire his Sassenach( not sure if I even spelled that properly). Love the Outlander books. Aha – hunkily is aha a really good word. Will now be added to my vocabulary.
Um…I will have to youtube the Scottish dance. Still, I like the Jig… wish I could do both, there are many times when I feel like a jig. I would probably fall flat on my face instead
