The best version of this song is on the recently-released "nights from the Alhambra" cds and dvd .

In fact, the dvd/video of this song is SUPERB. I love the little "hop" she gives in the middle of the song, very playful. And the violinist (whom I would call the fiddle player) is HOT (musically).

I would give the LIVE version from that release a "10" without question.

How can a person's voice be both chilling and warming all at once? Draw one into the depths while sending you into the limitless heights of ecstacy? How can the eerieness of the song reassure that our life, for all its mundanity, is magical still?

Loreena McKennitt possesses this talent, a true bewithching of the Soul, to awakenen us to our possibilities beyond what we have yet seen.

She's the only woman who has made me want to learn the hurdy-gurdy. I love her.

So...what's your secret?

No, just kidding. I'll admit that Loreena isn't everyone's cup o' tea. Most of us don't come home from work at night and think, "I need to put on some good Renaissance music!" Granted. But, if you explore her music a bit deeper, I think you'll find one of the most original - and certainly talented - artists out there.

Certainly a likeable tune, anyway.

Loreena McKennitt is a real sorceress. She makes New Age viable.

The long lost song from the "Monty Python & The Holy Grail" soundtrack?
I like Celtic & Loreena too but this is really annoying.
