Anúna : Dúlamán - written by Michael McGlynn 

Yeah, never knew seaweed could be so exciting.

Especially if it almost drowns you ...

Destoyed my little boat engine. RIP boat. Damn you, blasted seaweed 😡

Phahahaha!! Oh my gosh that made me laugh

@Lalealyn but like.. Seaweed tho

Same bruh

Same here

Same

The return to atlantis is nigh

The day of retvrn draws near

Still pretty epic since that sea weed was pretty important during famines ;)

yes it is

More like it is about two men arguing. One is the father of a beautiful daughter, the other is a man trying to court the daughter. They both work with seaweed: One likes seaweed from the cliff, one likes seaweed from the ocean. So there is no point in arguing because they are both good., no right or wrong answer. The father wants to protect his daughter but the young man trying to win her over will take care of her. No point in arguing because they both have the daughter's best interests. Get the comparison?

mariemonstre that would probably make more sence than seaweed

Cross species relationships rarely are successful, but I did see a documentary about a woman who married a building, so I suspect anything goes nowadays.

It is about an irish seaweed gatherer that is his job and another seaweed gatherer threatens to kidnap his daughter..and it gets intense. but there are lyrics about gathering seaweed in general. :)

Thank you Jonah. Makes me very happy to hear this

That guy is the Irish and music teacher at our school, and now a deputy principal xD He's awesome.

@@100firetiger what his name? ))) I think I'm in love just a little bit ))))

Multi tracking. And a little gin.

ANÚNA - M'ANAM I love alcohol lol

Buy better headphones, they don't sound like 40 at all. You ever heard a choir of 40?

Ah - long time ago - all singers gone generations past.

@@anunachoir Yep, it's been close to 25 years since then. But still a great memory.

+Tommy Fry The field is rather small on this topic.

Ty Hyundai I hope you had a go Ty!

ANÚNA - M'ANAM Wow. I posted this comment my sophomore year of high school. I’m now a freshman in college. It’s crazy to think how fast time flies, and that Anúna actually replied to my comment. And yes I did get the solo.

I feel you. I had the solo and it killed me. But it was so worth it dude. Sang it for all state

@@anunachoir hello, how's life 2 years into the future

I just got the solo for it and man, I'm am struggle bussing rn😂. I've haven't done a solo since elementary school cause I absolutely despise them😳

Heyo know this is late but we are actually doing this for our competitive choir to try and qualify for state? Just felt like sending this to know that Washington state choirs still be out here doing this song

+Zippy Pig A very strange name for a school Zippy, no offence meant.

This really put me in a comma =)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@dexvoltage I think you meant "coma". Hahahaha! :-P

juspasenthru one of them looks like he doesn't know the words 🤔. I seen him in another Anuna video and he looked the same.

+Cal Nasset Yes.

+ANÚNA Best possible answer!

+Maurice Williams You mean of course "are" so good. We aim to scare.

+伊久Ikurou Its not actually just about that Ikurou. Thats the way its passed off, but the song is about some rather dark practices among seaweed sellers.

Like what selling rotten seaweed?

Cheating on the change? Fixing the scales?

Great. Now can we get a translation? Lol

​@Nyarlathotep ask and ye shall receive! Oh dear daughter, here come the handsome men Oh dear mother, send me the spinning wheel Chorus 1 Seaweed, Seaweed, Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Gaelic Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Seaweed, Seaweed, Seaweed of the ocean Gaelic Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Let us go to doire with the Gaelic Seaweed "I shall buy expensive shoes" says the Gaelic Seaweed *chorus 1* The Gaelic Seaweed has beautiful black shoes The Gaelic Seaweed has a beret and trousers *chorus 1* Chorus 2 Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Gaelic Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Gaelic Seaweed of the yellow cliffs Chorus 1 & 2 Gentle daughter, here come the courting men Gentle mother, please start the spinning wheel Chorus 1 There is a golden head on the Irish Seaweed There is two blunt ears on the Irish seaweed *chorus 1&2 x2* I think this arrangement completely destroys the actual story of the song so if you want the story lmk but this version does sound cool

Michael would need to be very old to have written this song its over 100 years old. He may have made an arrangement of it but thats a different thing. Its a traditional song, so I think that probably where I'd start with comparisons... recognizing that its from a female perspective.. so its probably most convincingly song by a woman. There is also some humor in the song so would be good to try to put that across too....

Yes - Michael wrote the melody and the text is pretty old, but not as old as many people would like to think. Its a mish-mash of two or more songs, and its not from any perspective as the word "I" isn't in the text. Singers in our tradition don't tend to do a nod and a wink thing at all unless the song is about sex or a goat boxing the Parish priest up the arse. Anúna isn't Celtic Fluffybunny.
