@@mykzalot It didn't take that long when we (the audience) sang it with them in Denver for their Symphony Christmas concert, but then again, most in the audience were die-hard Celtic Woman fans so they knew the piece pretty much by heart from watching the DVD and listening to the CD of the original Atlanta concert.
Did you notice they're missing a drummer also? I think one of the two married him , and started a family? Would you not retire from the road if that was the next step in your life?
What a wonderful song, these Celtic Woman are so classy, how can you not feel the emotions. i have truly never heard a sound as perfect as all the woman sing it is Angelic to me and warms my heart. Thank you Celtic Woman
I love this song so much!!! It is a shame that both lovely ladies left but every time I hear this song, I think of Lisa Kelly and Chloe Agnew and wish them well on their journey through life, wherever it may lead them. :)
Thanx to you postin and thanx to the ladies for a fantastic night yesterday.I´ll always remember that night!! A fantasic concert and many tears that flow..And so many moments of pure gladness hope and love!!! THANX!!!!
Lisa Kelly and Chloe Agnew will be doing a show together,May 10,2014 at the Fred Theater,Peachtree City ,GA. Special guest Paul Byrom(Celtic Thunder). Has got to be one for the ages.
Jess Caron Is this new celtic music or a new interpretion of an old classic one? It's a bit too repetative to be new music I think, at least when I think what the old traditional songs were in my part of our country and what the new traditional songs are but I don't know how it goes in UK.
The current CW US tour- which just ended- was called Destiny. Meav Ni Mhaolchatha ( a former and recurring member) is now the new creative consultant and vocal coach for Celtic Woman. Meav has used her new found formal influence, to inject CW with a more traditional Celtic flavor and feel. Reference Celtic Woman Destiny on You Tube here and tell the difference right away. I'm sure all who long for more "Celticness" in the music will appreciate Meav's dedication to this effort. ...and enjoy. :)
Thank God for the grass roots efforts of "Friends of Fox" who saved this beautiful venue and landmark from certain destruction back during the 70's and made hosting of top notch productions such as this possible.
its because they all sang :D it's amazing, they teach the chorus and everybody can sing along :) ONLY 8 MORE DAYS !!! :D till their concert in Vienna :D
In case anyone wants this song, it's exclusive to the German edition of Believe. Luckily, you can buy the album for cheap on Amazon.de (which isn't too hard to navigate since the layout is set up the same). The other exclusive songs are also worth it including a Susan McFadden cameo on I'm Counting on You (with Chris de Burgh) and a beautiful cover of Tears in Heaven by Chloe.
Yea, but this was the 2nd time I had the honor of singing with them (well, again, me and 1800 other people). Lisa Kelly was doing "Green The Whole Year Round" at the Celtic Woman Christmas Symphony tour last year, and she had to instruct all of us in the audience how to sing the chorus. Singing "Green Grow The Rushes" was a little easier last April when I saw them in concert, as I wasn't high in the upper "ring" balcony afraid I might fall out over the railing (I hate Boettcher Hall!).
Note to anyone confused at hearing this male-viewpoint song performed by women: No, they're not lesbians. It's a Robert Burns poem, and Celtic Woman has a standing policy of never trying to gender-flip a lyric. See "Black is the Colour" in the same concert.
Okay this is freaking me out a lot.. I woke up this morning, for some reason singing this song.. Not instantly but a few minutes after waking up, I just had this in my head and was humming it at first, I didn't know why i had that melody in my head so i decided to add some words to fit it.. I was really actually saying " Greeeen grow the Russian " and doing it with an Irish accent. Just sounded nice like that.. Then I start questioning why im singing it in the first place because i have literally never heard this fucking song before in my life time. Then i go on RU-vid to look it up and sure enough there is a song named " green grows the rushen " Which by all means, is basically what i was saying.. Just not " Russian " and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck... These mother fuckers sang it exactly how i was singing it.. I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE IN MY LIFE...EVER.. So wtf?! I'm just going to ignore this and act like there isn't something trying to tell me anything. Im not ready for this twilight shit right now.
And now Chloe is "taking a break" leaving only Mairead of the original five. Speculation if flying thick and fast, but at this moment only David Downes knows for sure who will replace Chloe.
A young male is like a virile young deer buck...he runs to an fro, seeking much more than he can know....and if the lad had such a shoulder to 'LOOK OVER' might say, as he is hunted now weak and old" Green Grow the Rushes...'
Irish classic? It's a Scottish song written by Robert Burns. And it's "Green grow the RASHES". Nice version, though. Green grow the rushes is an English folk song with entirely different words and tune.
+Barbara Foster Rashes is the scottish word for rushes .As has been mentioned earlier the poem is by Robert Burns (Scotland's most famous poet) and is written in Scots..Hope this clarifies matters see lyrics below Chor. - Green grow the rashes, O; Green grow the rashes, O; The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, Are spent amang the lasses, O. There's nought but care on ev'ry han', In ev'ry hour that passes, O: What signifies the life o' man, An' 'twere na for the lasses, O. Green grow, &c. The war'ly race may riches chase, An' riches still may fly them, O; An' tho' at last they catch them fast, Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O. Green grow, &c. But gie me a cannie hour at e'en, My arms about my dearie, O; An' war'ly cares, an' war'ly men, May a' gae tapsalteerie, O! Green grow, &c. For you sae douce, ye sneer at this; Ye're nought but senseless asses, O: The wisest man the warl' e'er saw, He dearly lov'd the lasses, O. Green grow, &c. Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes, O: Her prentice han' she try'd on man, An' then she made the lasses, O. Green grow, &c.
Great song and well sung, if a bit homogenised. To my mind, the show element in the Celtic Woman performances distracts too much from the music. A lot of people seem to like it that way, though.
I respect the singers and musicians but to me this is the most saccharine soulless version of this song i have ever heard, Disney shite. Celtic Woman is music for your granny.
