when my youngest son was a small baby I often walked the floor with him in my arms in the middle of the night with this beautiful piece of music on repeat it was the only thing that would sooth him.it brings a teer to my eyes when ever i hear it.thank you davy.
Je suis Breton et Donc Celtique , j'adore Davy pour l'avoir vue à Brest , j'aime cet instrument et la musique Irlandaise qu'elle vous mette le feux ou le frisson ! Vive l’Irlande cher à mon cœur et à beaucoup de Breton et de Français ! il n'y a pas de plus grand et Sympathique Peuple et Beau Pays ! Love in the EIRE . Love from Brittany !
If the Harp is the heart of Ireland, then the Uilleann pipes are the blood that pumps through it...Davy Spillane is a legend in his own lifetime 💚💚🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪🍀
My father died shortly after midnight on September 11, 2023. For me, there is hardly any other instrument that can express this melancholy and pain... Davy Spillane is a true master...
So sorry for you loss. My Dad does November 17, 2020 and this is the last piece of music he heard on the Earth. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
my dad passed away this year, before he died I played this song for him in hospital,and at his funeral. Davy this song was your gift to the world. God bless
We played that piece at my dad's funeral, nothing best to celebrate a man who loved his very large family till the age of 95. Will miss you always but the music speaks.Thank you Davy.
Davy Spillane, is a true master of the Ullean Pipes , such haunting , mystical , ethereal music , spine tingling , amazing sound , wish I was on a beach.
Found this song and it sent me home never been to Ireland but it is where I will spend my dying days by a fire in the woods with this song playing tears of joy this is peace this is heaven..
I wonder if this is how heaven sounds,how could the hardest heart not be softened listening to the masters hand.thank you for this wonderfull playing of the uilleann pipes.
Transports you to a Thin Place where you can step through and delight in the joy of Heaven. Thank you so very much for uploading..,many blessings to you.
My mother was Scottish who's ancestors came over from Ireland, my father was Welsh and I was born in England, this music stirs something in me I can't explain, its a feeling that echoes through time.
Encapsulates what's best about the historical origins of classical Irish folk music, a truly spellbidingly haunting and mystical piece of music by the truly legendary Davy Spillane - a true genius in his own lifetime.
@@stevebirmingham9650 thanks Steve.. a lonesome day in Ireland and naturally it's raining.....just to match the tears.....nothing like a great parent....
This is heart-achingly beautiful. I saw Davy Spillane play this in a pub in south London years ago and it was pure magic. This tune still brings tears to my eyes.
Possibly THE most musical instrument that links directly to the soul....takes everyday worries and strains away for 4 minutes and 35 seconds....proud to be half Irish
What I would give to have this genius in my studio. The uillean pipes are the closest thing to a human voice & Spillane makes them wail & lament as the Irish did many generations ago. He gives the Irish soul to the world. 💚
Doesnt matter about your ethnicity. I'm Arab-American, and i've never heard such greatness. Most Irish music always provides positive feelings, whether through a calming atmosphere, or joyful play, which by the way, is IMPOSSIBLE to listen to without tapping your feet.
Here in NYC, experiencing the winter solstice live from Newgrange this morning...the sun rising over the frost covered fields, the mist over the river Boyne, the birds on the wing...and now hearing this hauntingly spirit lifting music for the first time only hours later, I feel I have been given the very best of gifts and am thrilled to be alive.
Makes me think of my parents who have sacrificed so much for me as their son. Fills you with such warmth and nostalgia of days where life was an adventure not a chore.
Please someone explain to me why I feel so nostalgic to hear this song much more than the ones that I heard as a child despite I am a Japanese. Every time I hear this song, I feel as if my soul went out of my body and flew to a faraway land to be embraced by something warm and tender.
I'm Irish and it does similar things to me. Davey Spillane is such a gifted uillean pipe player. I think that good music should evoke feelings such as this.
I`m Hungarian living in Brazil. This music touches you, because you have a Sintonie deep in your heart. Your soul remembers a lost land and is full of longing for it. It is the eternity that is as a seed in you, the spark of god. The path to it is the handing over to him.
Janos Bene Thanks for sharing your interesting idea. I guess "Sintonie" is something like ”collective unconscious" that Carl Gustav Jung advocated. Or is that "Akashic Records" ? In any way, I adore it.
I'm the same, although I did grow up listening to this song with my Dad.It has always made me feel like my soul has been ripped from my body and is soaring somewhere joyfully up in the clouds and my body is left in pain and heartache. And when the song ends I find tears streaming down my face and I feel the most painful longing from within. The most hauntingly beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.
Tears, every time. I've never cried so much. This music awakens the very essence of my soul, no matter how many times I listen to it. Nostalgia, longing, sadness, happines? It's hard to even name a feeling that this masterpiece evoke. And that is a magic of true music.
Spillane has captured the very essence of this instrument, and used it to voice the deep seeded feelings he harbors in his soul. It's rare to find a musician with such talent and passion. It's one thing to play an instrument and the notes on a page, it's another to have it actually come to life and make others feel it...he has done just that.
Randy Frost Spillane makes his pipes cry when he plays them I think, they sound like they’re crying, hauntingly beautiful. So glad I’m from the same background
Beautiful! Thinking of my Dad who passed away March 18, 2015. He wanted his ashes scattered in nature so his spirit could roam where he loved to be in life. Listening to this I can imagine him moving through the light fog on a Midnight Walk. Thanks so much Davey.
I too lost my beloved husband in Jan 2017 , but somehow this piece gives me strength and much thankfulness we were together for over 34 years , he was a wonderful man , true gent
loved this balid for 26 years. im 39. it cuts deep, plays with the heart. like a collection with the heart & mind. thanks davy. takes an ear to the the heart to understand .
My favourite piece, by the greatest musician I have ever heard. I love all of his music and I love Moving Hearts. I live in America and this music always makes me Yearn for my home back in Co, Tyrone. I never should have left. Elizabeth.
Listening to this yesterday, on St. Patrick's Day, gave me goosebumps. Such a yearning, soulful sound from the Emerald Isle. How can anyone not be moved by this?
Remembering my Dad, lost him on the 2nd August and he loved this song... miss him so much and he was loved by my kiddies and family. My heart is broken.. lost my best friend..love you mate your now at your final RV xxxx
To Dave ......keep the chin pal ...when I heard this ...well I just folded .......whenever I thought ..it's time I got over losing my best pal at 45 & to try & forget any pain . I know this music will tear me up everytime I hear /play it ....but it means I don't won't to accept it yet & and if it beats me up again & again ....means I AM NOT READY to move on .....I might NEVER . sorry for loss
This just tears at my heart strings. I played it over and over when my friend died. For me it will always be his song now. Thank you Musicfreak and Davy.
This song makes me want to go home to my rightful place in this world. Iv'e never been to where half my blood originated from, where my true brothers and sisters reside, where the hills are as green as an emerald. I would give anything, anything to step on the soil where my home is, Ireland. At the same time my home is here in Pennsylvania, because i'm half Cherokee. Torn between two different cultures but fiercely proud, Irish and native proud!
Michael Koch only the sea separates us brother but we share the same sky & feel the warmth of the same sun. The blood of your Celtic forefathers runs deep within your veins and so you carry her spirit in your soul.
Davy, What can I say, You and Runrig Control these Islands with your heartfelt laments showing guidance to the rest of the world how to behave . Many Many Thanks guys !
The Uilleann pipes would be a great addition on the hymn, "You Raise Me Up" either as an instrumental break or full instrumental. I think it would really capture the spirit of that song in a big way.
Ah music, the gift that shows we are all brothers and sisters regardless of religious,political or cultural beliefs. I am Irish living in Australia, but i am first a native of the world and everyone is my sibling, Hold this feeling close when you think of others knowing that they feel just as you.
In 1998 I opened small Celtic Pub (Bard), in Rijeka (Croatia) , as expression of my deep fascination of celtic mystic, unique philosophy and incredible music heritage... 21 years, this piece of soul, closed EVERY evening at 24.00...
Je vais être la seule française à écrire un commentaire sous cette musique. Cette musique me tiens vraiment à cœur. J'ai de bons souvenirs d'il y a super longtemps a l'écoute de celle-ci dont j'avais perdu le nom ET que je viens de retrouver 🥰 j'adore
Music to bring all cultures together, I've now lived in the UK for 20+ years and haven't done to bad for myself, my wife and children are from Birmingham my kids know all about where their roots are both here and in Ireland. Me and my wife gave our boys to good Irish names a riordon and lorcon
Il brano "Midnight Walker" di Davy Spillane mi ha affascinato sin dalla prima volta che l'ho ascoltato. È evocativo e fa vedere orizzonti lontani di pace e saggezza.
When I hear the uilleann pipes it taps right into my DNA and I feel a connection to my ancestors and the land of my country. Its in every person its hits us right through the soul. Simply beautiful.
Spillane captures an elusive emotion of having a nostalgia for the present. Its like staring at the stars, you are confronted with your relative insignificance but it comes with the realisation that there is unexplainable magic in the things that you experience. Its the juxtaposition of life no matter the land you were born. Davey is a magician…
You can't dislike a song like this.. If you dont want to listen to it, or you dont like the specific genre, you have just to pass it. I think this is valid for all of the "Music youtube" Videos.
