Gorgeous. And to hear just how this marvel of a song appeals to great musicians in all fields, don't miss Billy Preston's version at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G6tNZZf5kUM.html
Glad that the algorithm recommended this video to me. I can't understand a single word of this song. I don't know what language that was even. But that doesn't matter because her voice is just wonderful.
Saw her live just about a month ago. Amazing performance. Like, literally melt-your-face-off good. After, she was just hanging out up front chatting with fans as if it was nothing. People like her inspire me to try harder and accomplish more with my life.
I do not speak or understand Scottish Gaelic but the first time I herd Julie sing this it brought tears to my eyes. Her oice Conveyed the feeling beautifully She has a gift and she uses it well
it is the first song I heard Julie sing several years ago and I have loved her since. We watched the programme on BBC Alba last night, May 14, and it was excellent and such a range of styles from musicians known to us and some I did not know like Rodrigo and Gabriela in Mexico. This is a very talented lady and her Scots Gaelic just reminds me of the strong bonds that link Ireland with Scotland. Maith thú, Julie!

I've yet to hear a song in gaelic that wasn't enjoyable. BUT, I'd like to find a better mix where the instruments weren't drowning out her vocals. That really blew it for me.
