Loreena McKennitt - Mummers Dance

Dafuq happened to musoc like this actually being relatively popular? It is like the audio equivalent of silk.

I wish there was a purely instrumental version of the first minute of this song, repeated, as its melody is absolutely beautiful.

I'm happy. Can I help to carry the torch?With or without me, I will still be here.

Makes me want to go for moonlit hike to a waterfall or a lake in the woods and go skinny dipping. Lol

This is my 1st time listening to this song. I never heard of Loreena. I like her song.❤️ 👍

The ones that gave a thumbs down to this song do not see the true beauty to this song. Just listen and appreciate the true meaning to the lyrics. It will set your heart free!

Gerry good night my love! Me

Essa música e tão na minha visão poderosa que me transformo em uma pessoa mais forte

My God!!! She is still one of the best, ever!!! Transcends mere music. Something more here..

just an awesome voice

Es maravillosa la canción, te transporta a un lugar de ensueño... 😍

Damn that's beautiful!

I heard this song when I was 14 years old back in 1997.

the internet is terrifying because i was thinking of this song not knowing the name, just in reference to the ever after trailer, didn't even look it up it just appeared

Primeira vez que ouço Loreena .... estava atrás da Enya e nos comentários vi várias referências a Loreena por isso vim conhece-la ... agora entendi a relação entre as duas ... eu simplesmente adoro músicas assim

Thank you, Todd.

What passes for music today can not hold a candle to stuff like this.

Nostalgia

And so they linked their hands and danced round in circles and in rows...(the way she sings it, if this line doesn't give you goosebumps, check your pulse).

Old school Coast to Coast fan. Played this song as an intro. Could never get it out of my head. Great song.

Craig Manning that’s what made me look it up and listen to it again.

Loved this in the 90s!

I just found this song finally...lol I can attest to the previous comment, what an awesome song and plus she's Canadian

I love it!

Hmm,just discovered a bright new world!

The Mummers' Dance ~ Loreena McKennittWhen in the springtime of the yearWhen the trees are crowned with leavesWhen the ash and oak, and the birch and yewAre dressed in ribbons fairWhen owls call the breathless moonIn the blue veil of the nightThe shadows of the trees appearAmidst the lantern lightWe've been rambling all the nightAnd some time of this dayNow returning back againWe bring a garland gayWho will go down to those shady grovesAnd summon the shadows thereAnd tie a ribbon on those sheltering armsIn the springtime of the yearThe songs of birds seem to fill the woodThat when the fiddler playsAll their voices can be heardLong past their woodland daysWe've been rambling all the nightAnd some time of this dayNow returning back againWe bring a garland gayAnd so they linked their hands and dancedRound in circles and in rowsAnd so the journey of the night descendsWhen all the shades are goneA garland gay we bring you hereAnd at your door we standIt is a sprout well budded outThe work of our Lord's handWe've been rambling all the nightAnd some time of this dayNow returning back againWe bring a garland gayWe've been rambling all the nightAnd some time of this dayNow returning back againWe bring a garland gaySongwriters: LOREENA MC KENNITTThe Mummers' Dance lyrics © Quinlan Road Music Ltd.

Don't feel bad, there are songs and even groups out there i can't find .Been for 30 plus years

It took me ten years to realise the most prevalent instrument is called a hurdy gurdy

La Mc Kennith a segnato la mia gioventù e sento sempre qualcosa di magneticamente magico nelle sue note

I once was a very angry youth. This womans voice help me find inner peace when times were dark.Has been many years since I have heard it. Felt like I needed it today, so glad it's on YouTube. (I have an album at home, but haven't unpacked my old cd's in such a long time).

This song gives me a sense of longing for a lost homeland. As if my soul aches to go back in time ages ago to seek peace from the world we live in today. As if i belonged to a world of the past that is not the same as today and my body is trapped in this time period, wishing to be where i belong in the past.

Simm! Sou muito fã da Loreena <3

All of these comments are cringy... Bleh.

Dá pra dançar um tribal!

Such magical music ....

This was my oldest brother's favorite song. Today was his birthday. He would have been 70 today.

😍👌

Im getting Lotr Elves vibes from this

The video to this song is amazing to see.

Greatest Canadian singer of our generation. A true National treasure. God bless you for keeping our culture of storytelling alive.

This would be a good song for an post-disaster movie, when a group of stray survivors meets up with a tribe of people in a mountainous region unaffected by whatever the disaster or apocalyptic event had been.

LOREENA...THE BEST FOREVER.....

Just beautiful how deep her songs are and how they light my world is just amazing, as a teen I would listen to her music driving my convertible corvette 3 am in the morning . Now in my 40s away from the city life at my farm i listen to her daily under the dark stary night

Rest in peace art bell,we all miss you

Η LOREENA με τη μουσική της σε ταξιδεύει σε άλλη "διάσταση"!!!!!!!

Having Irish heritage I can't help but feel magically tied to this song, it's imagery and how magnificently lyrical and sumptuous it is.

"The Mummers' Dance" is a single written, composed, and performed by Canadian Celtic singer Loreena McKennitt, who released it from the album The Book of Secrets in 1997. The song was a surprise hit in the United States, reaching #3 on the Adult Top 40, #17 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and #18 on The Billboard Hot 100.

thanks to 96.5 WTIC for the introduction by playing it heavily upon it's release!

Hermosa música relajante me gusta mucho

❤ this music resonates deeply with my spirit.❤

Dose she sing on the Tinker bell movie??

this was off the soldier soundtrack kurt Russell

The day 9/11 happened and I heard about on the news, I remember running out of the house and looking for others, company of some sort. I was in Kansas, a rather loathsome place, so I went to our local small health food coop. And when I entered the store, this song was booming over the sound system. Calm and transcendence at last.

Is that a hurdy gurdy in the beginning?

Grande artiste grande élégance grande voie

witchy song.

when you are ready... doors open and memories flow.... sweet blessings

I feel in love this song when it came out . I was just a child. But I loved it and I still do.I've never noticed it..but she sounds like Tori Amos.

Here from Todd in the Shadows, & I'm genuinely happy that content I love to watch can lead me to such obscure & strangely beautiful corners of the world

👌👍

Lorena is amazing

I love this song tried to save it like a week or 2 ago and couldn't do some reason but now I got it 😊🌛🌝🌜

Adoro a esta mujer. Voz increíble

she is out of this world .

Som dos anjos...🖤🙏🎶😇

Reminds of the gatherings at the Summer and winter solstice and of the fae, so many centuries ago. It's brings back the memory of my life then.

Here 2019

Linda canção!!! Faz a gente viajar no tempo, flutuar. Um bálsamo para a alma.

wowwww my soul !

LOVE LOVE this whole cd!!! THIS song is my favorite one

Einfach wunderschön

William Wallace (Brave Heart) I'm guessing would have loved to have listened to this song on any foggy morning adventure. Maybe i'm wrong?

Heard this song in art bell's ghost to ghost am in late 90s

Tek kelimeyle muhteşem.

Glorious Music for "FIREFLY" .....

Eterna canção

This song make me cry everytime I heard it ... , and it's not for the pain I feel but it's for the magic in it ... !

Música que ele a a alma!!!! Brasil!!!!!

Very sensual and erotic sounding!!

Beautiful red loreena. A Celtic angel.

P.S. I forgot this line, because I’m the absent minded kind- “mum ain’t the word no more” ~ hence my choice in beautiful song.

Song for Keith Wilson and his son, Chester molestersTo consider him like Herbert the pervertIs like bowing to a blipIt ain’t no man,And he is hereHis son in handLike father like doneFather and sonMarauding againHe and CelineCan’t seem to get enoughOf my baby’s light beamAnd he is a molesterOf the worst kindEven at 16 didn’t have any hairMy parents left me alone with himI was about 7 ~Now I’m not a little girl KeithBut you remain a child molesterAnd have taught your son Dak wellHe molested my 15 year of daughterLast yearManIs no longer the wordNow I tell all my redeemed“Attempt to avoid being blipped or beamed” ... but please Keep on keepin’ OnCause with Keith WilsonAttempting to killThe devil I subdueDailyI need youAs much as YouNeed me.

Lorenna’nın sesi bir tek bende mi mucizeyi çağrıştırıyor... çok özel ve duru bir ses ;insanlar sesinin şifasını keşfetmeli!

So eerie and beautiful

LOREENA DANCE

She reminds us we are spiritual beings in a material universe.

Back when we were allowed to listen to our own cultural songs without having a rap verse in them.

Loreena bir diva... Mükemmel bir ses.

Amo essa mulher .master .Brasil S Paulo. Música totalmente linda .

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Tema de Clara (Mônica Carvalho) de Corpo Dourado (1998).

It's 2019 a d this brings back memories. I saw her in concert in 2008 and it was one of the best experience of my life.
