Lyrics
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
On a dark new year's night
on the west coast of Clare
I heard your voice singing.
Your eyes danced the song,
your hands played the tune.
T'was a vision before me.
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
as we stole away to the seashore
and smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
and with sadness you paused.
Suddenly, I knew that you'd have to go.
Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so.
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
and I wondered why.
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea,
a vision came o'er me,
of thundering hooves and beating wings
in the clouds above.
As you turned to go, I heard you call my name.
You were like a bird in a cage, spreading its
wings to fly.
'The old ways are lost', you sang as you flew
and I wondered why.
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
The pounding waves are calling me home, home to you.
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
The pounding waves are calling me home, home to you.
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you. - เพลง
This is an amazing song. It is my absolute favorite of all her songs. She is one of the true artists left these days that can truly touch one's spirit even through all of the pressures to conform and be a "popular" artist. She is my idol and that is it
I felt the crossroads of time 27 years ago ..... and I too, wondered why.
I love all works of Loreena McKennitt
she is the bestttttttttttttt
Indeed you are correct. Loreena have said it herself, it's about the old celtic ways, now.. sadly.. nothing but a distant memory from a magical era.
I guess your're right with your assessment, if i close my eyes and listen to her voice and music, I can almost feel that something carries me away into another time, but its a good feeling nothing evil :)
Blessed be
This song is a beautiful song, a song that speaks to your soul I love it!
@FAFYWARRIOR

Thanks for sharing! I love the power of this piece!

I`ve felt the crossroads of time as well.
@LostoVae Yes I whole-heartedly agree. She moves me with this earthly...POWER that I have often dreamed about. She's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! She'll never die in my heart.
when i listen to this pretty song it does call me and her voice carrys me as long as i am alive i am home to a piece of mind blessed be
@Tcjody hi, this is from "Nights from the Alhambra" live in Spain. She's the best, no doubt at all.
Oh Wow! That's what i should say, thank you very much, giving me such a nice comment, dear friend :)
@thunderwolfe Thank you for your nice comment. I had the same idea, but than I found out that " The Old Ways" is from the album "The Visit" and it was released in April 1992. Six years before the sad accident happend. But we don't know what she thinks, when she is singing this song today...
Hi there,
I'm a Loreena completist, especially with this song, and I don't recognize this version. Can you tell me from what album this particular arrangement was found? Thank you!
Every religion prior to Christ's arrival.. Is very important to the history of mankind.
The Old Religion is not only much older than Christianity it is far older than Islam and is also older than Judaism and the Hebrew scriptures.
Just to give you an information: Drinking wine in church isn't wrong, to be honest with you - wine is the blood of Jesus in christianity. Christians drink wine in church during some ceremonies. :) I don't think that the person who created this video had insultings behind it, calm down. This song is peaceful and so the pictures and the creator of this video.
I feel like this song is about the old ways of Paganism before Christianity.
@pieceofmecute
Thank you! It is always a plessure to share good things with nice people,
i know who you are :). Your german is pretty good.:) but what are you doing in belgium? You shouldn't answer...i am curious :)
Vielen Dank für deinen lieben Kommentar und ich wünsche dir eine schöne Woche:)
@diana47111
Danke dir für deinen netten Kommentar!
Ok...
All I meant is that's not the suitable place to express such feelings
thanks for your understanding
A song about love is not the suitable place to express love? You're gonna have to explain that one, fella...
I did not do the picture by myself someone gave it to me, I did not recognize that the book in the background is the quran, I saw this beautiful woman and the man who obviosly loves her. Don't know much about the quran, but I respect other peoples opinion about their religion, fact is that most muslims love their wifes and families. Guess the person who created this picture used the book as a symbol. Love, Family and Believe. Nothing dirty ...
The real one.
3:18
The background is a page from holy Quran
Y dd u do so?!?!
Its like drinking wine in the church
The old religion has it's charms and roots in humanity... But it wasn't until Christ came until humanity really understood their purpose..
