I absolutely agree with you! I melted it down when I first heard her sing because of the velvety richness and quality of her voice, the maturity and depth of her voice.
I LOVE how for the first third of the song, they don't even change the harmony in the back, they're just FLEXING Eabha's raw mindblowing voice... aaaand it totally works.
Such a beautiful cover of this song that brings its spiritual depth to the surface, which is what gospel songs are supposed to do. I am humbled and grateful hearing her.
A low chest voice like Eybha's can't carry like a high soprano's. The mike is needed. In a high pitched music, or among the chorus, with high pitched and tons if sound, trrue altos can't be heard as clearly. The venue will not support a low voice. A small, parlor might accept the sound.
1evilteacher This sounds like a perfect song for such an occasion. I’m sure she was smiling down at you that day just as she is now. I’m sorry for your loss my friend, may peace flow within you.
Ethereally beautiful. How wonderful that a hymn written by an American of Celtic origin could make its way back to Ireland and Scotland to be sung so compellingly in cultures where the faith and words for it originated.

"How Can I Keep From Singing" My life goes on in endless song Above earth's lamentations I hear the trumpets sounding strong That hails a new creation Through all the tumult and the strife I hear its music ringing It ever echoes in my life How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm While to this rock I'm clinging How can I ever come to harm? How can I keep from singing? Then sings my soul with love profound A fountain ever springing Deep from the earth how sweet the sound How can I keep from singing?
it makes me happy to know at one point this beautiful voice was inside of a nanny, or a hair dresser, her previous jobs, and now it is out for all the world to hear and cherish along with her.
+SchwarzeWitwe2 The combination of Eabha 's voice blending in with the others makes for a perfect balance. May be the best group ever. I also think the is Destiny tour may also be the best ever. Many strong songs. And to think without David.
I am not privy to whether he left for good or not. But if I was to take a guess I would say yes. CW has a new musical director and David is involved with the musical The Bloody Irish. My guess is just based on that. If anyone knows more I would like to hear.
She already left em a while back my mans, and I want to conserve about a gallon of her fish juice, boil it down to a fine powder, and snort a line of it everyday so I can feel the inner spirit of the irish.
Eabha McMahon, born Dec 9,1992,Dublin ,Ireland. In 2015, Éabha headlined a sold out solo show in New York City, in aid of Kylemore Abbey. She is currently developing her first solo album which she will be releasing in 2016. Éabha is a fluent Irish speaker and was brought up singing and speaking Irish at home in Dublin. Prior to joining CW she worked as a nanny and also as a hair dresser in a salon. The producers of CW saw her on You Tube and invited her to audition. They liked what they saw and hired Eabha essentially on the spot. Like the other vocalists she sings two songs solo. One was "Walk Beside Me" Written by Mutt Lange especially for her.Then she was given the Enya song How Can I Keep Me From Singing, which she said "is more my kind of style, with an Irish voice." Rest is history .
+nwk38 You left out the part where she has been singing with the group Anuna since she was 15 yrs old, she went on to win the under-18 All Ireland Oireachtais final at the age of 15, she was reigning Leinster champion from the age of 13 to 17 in the Fleadh Ceoil, and five time Dublin champion in the Fairview Feis Ceoil age 14-18.
+nwk38 Are you sure she was born in 1992? There is a (super cute) photo of her and her dad on her facebook page she said was taken in 1992 and she is definitely not a newborn. I read that she was born in 1990 which looks about right.
The first time I heard this voice I thought that CW had made a mistake in casting. Saturday evening I heard her live in Peoria and I was SO wrong. She is absolutely magnificent!
I sang this song in choir in high school and it is so beautiful. When I saw the show on PBS and this song started I sang with it and surprisingly, I still had my soprano voice for it.
I'm of Irish Scott decent. But have been born in America many generation already... But sware when I hear songs of Celtic my souls feels like it wants to run away to simpler time and not were I live now. If I sound crazy I don't care.
She is amazing. At first, when I heard this, I thought they had brought Orla back. But then I listen more closely. I'm so happy they finally finally finally put an alto back in the group.
IMO. By far and away the best CW concert I have ever seen. I recorded the show on my PBS station and I cant stop watching it. Especially this performance by Eabha ! WOW!
OH Yes !! what a lovely voice this lady has - I could listen to her all day - all I can say is wow - true talent - I think she will be singing for a long time !!!!
I thought that I would never find love but this wonderful person has made me fall in love. She is beautiful not just in body, but in voice, in spirit, and so much more.
The original lyrics are profound. My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation, I hear the sweet, tho' far-off hymn That hails a new creation; Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul- How can I keep from singing? What tho' my joys and comforts die? The Lord my Saviour liveth; What tho' the darkness gather round? Songs in the night he giveth. No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, Since first I learned to love it, The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his- How can I keep from singing?
@@johnmcgarry9519 those aren't the original lyrics, unfortunately. They are a great version of the hymn that has endured. "Pauline T" is all we know of the original author who shared the hymn in a Presbyterian newspaper on August 27, 1868,. The paper was The New York Observer, and the lyric was titled "Always Rejoicing". It's often attributed to Robert Lowry, who is responsible for it being published in its first hymnal (baptist) in 1869, though, in fact, he did not write the hymn. (minor details here...). Anyway, here are the lyrics as they appear they first appeared. ~peace 1 My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation. I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. Refrain: No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing? 2 Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing. It finds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? [Refrain] 3 What though my joys and comforts die? I know my Savior liveth. What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night he giveth. [Refrain] 4 The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing! All things are mine since I am his! How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]
This right here is one of my favorite songs She sings this so beautifully that my Heart just melts Her voice stays with me after the song is over Tir na nog does as well.
I just saw this...and I know it was posted over 2 years ago, and I have no idea what a "contralto" is....but this absolutely is the most lovely version of this song I have ever heard.
WHEN AN ANGLE SINGS THERE IS NOT ONE THEN YOU, WITH THE VOICE GOD GAVE YOU DID NOT SHY AWAY YOU TOOK IT HEAD ON, AND THE WORID IS GLAD YOU DID --- YOU ARE THE BEST
To the young ladies beginning. Never feel down if you think what you do is mot good. Remember God did not make you the same exact way as another great. He made you different. The difference is what makes Celtic Women so fantastic. So remember, if you did not have great talent you would have never been chosen for the newbie. Wonderful all of you.
Celtic woman has lost the most special woman to ever sing in the group. Her voice is so unique
Éabha’s tone color is so warm and deep, and she really stands out from the rest of the singers in this group. Beautifully done.
As much as I love every member of Celtic Woman and think they’re all so talented, I feel like Eabha has such a distinct voice that stands out. ♥️
I love her voice. I didn’t see her preform with the ladies very long. I would have liked to see more!
I absolutely agree with you! I melted it down when I first heard her sing because of the velvety richness and quality of her voice, the maturity and depth of her voice.
I LOVE how for the first third of the song, they don't even change the harmony in the back, they're just FLEXING Eabha's raw mindblowing voice... aaaand it totally works.
Her tonality and timbre are so beautiful. I've not heard the like. Each note is clear. Even her high notes sound like they're coming from the earth.
This clarity makes me suspicious, is it even possible to be so flawless so effortlessly, or was it cleared and played back?
Take her microphone away, and let's see what she's really got.
Such a beautiful cover of this song that brings its spiritual depth to the surface, which is what gospel songs are supposed to do. I am humbled and grateful hearing her.
Like hayley and Scarborough Scarborough fail

Her voice is mystical.
snillocgrom perfect word to describe it ♡
I saw Eabha do this song recently. Mystical is the right word. She's divine.
I’m not even kidding when I say that I want this played at my funeral whenever my time comes.
Brandon Hoke me too.
Agreed. We had it sung at my mother's memorial a few months ago. Very fitting...
1evilteacher This sounds like a perfect song for such an occasion. I’m sure she was smiling down at you that day just as she is now. I’m sorry for your loss my friend, may peace flow within you.
I just hit the bar for my funeral
I find it hard to listen to Eabha's lovely voice in this song and not get watery-eyed. It's simply beautiful. How can anyone keep from singing?
Like a fine, smooth, riped wine. Matured & beautiful voice!
Eabha has a sweet shyness about her. That, along with her voice, is so wonderful.
Ethereally beautiful. How wonderful that a hymn written by an American of Celtic origin could make its way back to Ireland and Scotland to be sung so compellingly in cultures where the faith and words for it originated.
But they removed the faith from the hymn
@SpecialCrunch what do you mean?
@@julietcapulet6193 some renditions do actually leave out allusions to revelation and faith. 'The sound or New Creation is particularly Christian and is changed in some versions.
"How Can I Keep From Singing"
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations
I hear the trumpets sounding strong
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It ever echoes in my life
How can I keep from singing?
And though the shadows gather 'round
The endless song it giveth
My strength within and joy abound
The world of truth it liveth
Though dark the night and long the road
I hear the music ringing
And with such power and grace bestowed
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to this rock I'm clinging
How can I ever come to harm?
How can I keep from singing?
Then sings my soul with love profound
A fountain ever springing
Deep from the earth how sweet the sound
How can I keep from singing?
Jill ahug this is a life saver thnx
Jill ahug thank you for the word
These are such blessed lyrics. Been learning this song, thanks for the the additional lyrics.
Unique beautiful and priceless music a gifted voice so inspiring God bless you ❤️
I so appreciate your giving the lyrics. Thank you!
Thank God for the lives of those who give us a glimpse of the heavenly choir
Amen and Amen
it makes me happy to know at one point this beautiful voice was inside of a nanny, or a hair dresser, her previous jobs, and now it is out for all the world to hear and cherish along with her.
This is, without a doubt, the best cover of this song ever created.
Finally, the return of an alto to CW!
+SchwarzeWitwe2 Yes the first true alto since Orla left the group..
Sam Rowland
No more strained vocal cords for me! Yay!
+SchwarzeWitwe2 The combination of Eabha 's voice blending in with the others makes for a perfect balance. May be the best group ever. I also think the is Destiny tour may also be the best ever. Many strong songs. And to think without David.
+nwk38 Did David leave Celtic Woman for good?
I am not privy to whether he left for good or not. But if I was to take a guess I would say yes. CW has a new musical director and David is involved with the musical The Bloody Irish.
My guess is just based on that.
If anyone knows more I would like to hear.
Éabha McMahon's voice just amazes me. So hauntingly beautiful.
Eabha has a beautiful voice. I agree with Jay Michael as loving the smoky depth of her voice. I love the variety it brings to the lilting sopranos.
What's her full name she has the most beautiful voice I ever heard
@@williambrennan8797 Éabha mcmahon, pronounced Eva
schrap72 she’s my favorite out of the group
shes in alto range not soprano cause no soprano could do those low toned vocal range or they changed over :D
Wow, I didn't know she smoked. Her teeth are pearly white.
Her voice is angelic...I love an amazing alto voice.
Éabha’s contralto is a great addition to the sopranos & mezzo-sopranos in this program, and her range reaches the sopranos as well as the altos.
Coming back home after a very stressful day, this song really gives you the peace you need
This was my mother in laws favorite song at church this version makes me smile with tears for her
Beautiful woman, beautiful smile, beautiful voice.
She can never leave celetic woman. She is so different and just wow
She already left em a while back my mans, and I want to conserve about a gallon of her fish juice, boil it down to a fine powder, and snort a line of it everyday so I can feel the inner spirit of the irish.
One of her best songs! Such an extraordinary beautiful voice! CW misses her 😢
The voice of a real ANGEL
Okay, but that voice is seriously amazing!! 🌟
Holy crap! She should be world-famous! ❤
Such a lovely girl and voice. Such depth, beauty and grace.
Never stop singing. You add such value and richness to our lives

That is what I read . Then again does it matter? What matters is that she is fabulous.
Her voice truly makes me cry from my heart, such an angel she is and her voice.
speechless. such grace, such beauty, such peace. much rare voice.
Such a beautiful voice from her and this is the ones of the best voices ever.
+Valerie Selau Maybe ... 2nd only to my Sweet Lady Meav
yes she is. another best voice in the same song ; check AUDRY ASSAD. awesome voice too
Very beautiful! I can't think of a better alto I have heard in my life than this gal. She does very great and blends in great with the others.
What a voice, I could listen to her all day beautiful xxx
She is amazing. A unique voice. A voice from another Planet!
True contralto .. I'm amazed with her voice .. is strong and powerfull
I also love listening to Eabha. She made me a fan if the new CW group. She adds a different sound that compliments the others.
If my mom could sing I always thought she would sing like this to me...It is just so calming and gentle in all ways.
I don't think I have ever heard a voice like hers. Stunning tone.
She epitomises beauty - in looks and voice.
I LOVE TO LISTEN TO EABHA McMahon !!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND COMPOSURE !!!! ALWAYS A REAL TREAT TO LISTEN TO HER VOICE !!!!
levarei essa canção no meu pensamento para o resto de minha vida....
They were amazing in concert. so glad i got to see both the orig ladies and these very talented newcomers!
When I die I request God’s angels sing this as I enter heaven
Such a sight and sound
Absolutely stunning!! Bravo!!
The first time I heard this voice I thought that CW had made a mistake in casting. Saturday evening I heard her live in Peoria and I was SO wrong. She is absolutely magnificent!
Just beautiful. This "virus" which keeps all of us housebound is giving me time to listen to my CD's.
AVA another time, so beautiful she is... What a power... Thank you my dear...
I sang this song in choir in high school and it is so beautiful. When I saw the show on PBS and this song started I sang with it and surprisingly, I still had my soprano voice for it.

As I listen..I realize how much I love Celtic music. Never knew it!!!!
her beautiful voice makes me cry.
The voice of a angel, & beautiful too ❤
This is mesmerizingly beautiful...the lyrics, Eabha's voice, everything.
Beautiful voice and beautiful piping. What a great combo. Makes one proud to be Irish. ;)
A beautiful Christian prayer sung with an angelic voice
She is amazing. At first, when I heard this, I thought they had brought Orla back. But then I listen more closely. I'm so happy they finally finally finally put an alto back in the group.
I enjoy her singing every time i hear it. So heart felt and passionate.
