Lorenna McKennitt-Warrior Music

[Nagual LoneWolf]

One of my favorite musical artists is Lorenna McKennitt. I was able to see her in concert in Scottsdale, Arizona in a outdoor concert in a grassy knoll. It was enchanting to say the least. If you ever get the chance, see her in concert. McKennitt is from Canada and performs celtic music and mainly her own original songs. A favorite of mine from one of her early releases was a song called Samain Night, lyrics below:


Lyrics to Samain Night

[Wei Shan Yang]

That song made me cry. Not my eyes, though. I cried inside, something that felt unreachable yet there all the same. Her music is so haunting and beautiful. I have her CD The Book of Secrets.

[Nagual LoneWolf]

Good Cd and my first as well. That song still makes me cry inside like you speak Wei Shan Yang,  as it echoes through our night.

[Wei Shan Yang]

ah yes (sigh)

[Nu Lang]

I like this song a lot...the lyrics are just beautiful...



Loreena McKennitt - Dante's prayer



When the dark wood fell before me

And all the paths were overgrown

When the priests of pride say there is no other way

I tilled the sorrows of stone



I did not believe because I could not see

Though you came to me in the night

When the dawn seemed forever lost

You showed me your love in the light of the stars



Chorus:

Cast your eyes on the ocean

Cast your soul to the sea

When the dark night seems endless

Please remember me



Then the mountain rose before me

By the deep well of desire

From the fountain of forgiveness

Beyond the ice and the fire



Chorus



Though we share this humble path, alone

How fragile is the heart

Oh give these clay feet wings to fly

To touch the face of the stars



Breathe life into this feeble heart

Lift this mortal veil of fear

Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears

We'll rise above these earthly cares



Chorus



Please remember me

Please remember me, ...

Hi Castor. If ever you get the chance see her perform in concert. I saw her in a outside amphitheater in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA and it was such an enchanting evening.
