Loreena McKennitt - The Highwayman

Loreena is perfect Singer/Songwriter

What is this video from?

i absolutely despise live music. and yet McKennitt's live performances are enthralling.

I wish people wouldn’t screw with the captions. :( It’s not funny and people who are hard of hearing need the real captions. Don’t these people have anything better to do? :(

What a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice!!!!

Still mystical & full of heart and soul.....Loreena and musicians remain.

WOMEN' S RIGHTS COME FIRST FIRST SHE CAN SAY NO! SECOND IS THE PISTOL IN HER PURSE, TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND NO!. ABORTION IS BAD AS BIRTH CONTROL BUT SOMETIMES NEEDED. THE FIRST AND SECOND ARE THOSE "RIGHTS" NOT TO BE INFRINGED. BUT I ASK " DON'T BLACK BABIES LIVES MATTER". THOSE ARE AMERICAN BABIES WE SHOULD BE LOVING AND NURTURING AND HELPING GROW. HE KNEW ABOUT THIS COMING WAY BACK THEN!!! President Woodrow Wilson, in his December 7, 1915 State of the Union address, asked Congress for the legislation. ESPIONAGE ACT OF 1911. HIS WORDS .There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit, born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our Government into contempt, to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes to strike at them, and to debase our politics to the uses of foreign intrigue ...I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in doing so I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty, and anarchy must be crushed out. They are not many, but they are infinitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have formed plots to destroy property, they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the Government, they have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the Government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with. HANG TRAITORS TILL THEY ROT ON THE ROPE AT GITMO

my favourite wonderful thanks

I was a highwaymanAlong the coach roads I did rideWith the sword and pistol by my sideAnd many a young maid lost her baubles to my tradeAnd many a soldier shed his life blood on my bladeThey fin'lly hung me in the spring of '25But I am still aliveI was a sailorAnd I was born upon the tideAnd with the sea I did abideI sailed a schooner 'round the horn of MexicoI went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blowAnd when the yards broke off they say that I got killedBut I am living stillI was a dam builderAcross the river deep and wideWhere steel and water did collideA place called Boulder on the wild ColoradoI slipped and fell into the wet concrete belowThey buried me in that great tomb that knows no soundBut I am still aroundSeems like it all goes 'round and 'roundAnd 'round and 'roundI'll fly a starshipAcross the universe divideUntil I reach the other sideI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I canPerhaps I may become a highwayman againOr I may simply be a single drop of rainBut I will remainAnd I'll be back againAnd again, and again, and again.Written by Jimmy Webb • Copyright © Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management US, LLC

A great rennaiseace feel / sound a MAGIC ADAPTION ! of a traditonal poem / story of Dick Turpin ! .

Simplesmente Lindo

She doesn't sing her songs as they were recorded. I didn't like her performance of this vid

Picco bow That's the charm of a live performance.

Picco bow y tu quien eres?? Una pelusa Don nadie.

You can leave anytime you want. They are 5 deep ready to take your place you swine. The Highwayman will hunt you down to apologize to the Heavenly Loreena. Good enough to sing for the Gods. The Mortals love her for forever time.

This gave me goosebumps!

I've literally loved this video probably ever since it came out. first heard the poem in about 7th grade and it's stuck with me even after I've graduated. It's probably my favorite poem of all time.

I'm 60 years old and I read this poem in school as well. Like you it stuck with me and the first time I heard Loreena perform The Highwayman I realized I knew the story! It all came back and remains one of my favorites as well!

I loved it so much when I read it in school that I memorized it.

Same here...

Nice but the sound doesn't match the words sung

Yep, it's out of sync.

Paul Nicholson a lot of videos have that anomaly

If you have a good video player on your pc, you can download it and adjust the synchronization.

Amo... Relaxa muito
