@@the_alchemy_method It's about both. Celtic monks brought Christianity from Ireland to Scotland. The music of Iona explores both those rich traditions. I'm from Scotland and have visited the island of Iona, and I got to visit Murlough Bay in Ireland recently too.
Maaaaaaaaannnnnn… The amount of sunsets I drove into whilst listening to this song… this album… all their albums. Respect. I wish to jam with these folks in heaven.
Mirtika; That is a good way to describe their music, full of wonder and beauty. I listen to alot of music but my ultimate favorite is IONA. Ionas music and lyrics inspire me and move my Spirit and it's annointing by the Holy Spirit pours its oil upon me. I listen to them more than any other style and type of music and in my opinion the best.
Never did. Hubby became ill and disabled and my health issues worsened and there went any travel plans. He's gone now, and I pretty much have not much desire for anything other than the Lord call me home so I can see hubby's smile again.@@the_alchemy_method
I will never forget getting to see/hear them live at the end of a music festival at 10:00 PM on a Saturday night, just laying in the grass absorbing their immense musical talent and message. Still brings back awesome memories.
Iona, heard them 21 years ago in Poland 🇵🇱 some fellows played them to me. Then I decided to find world they singing about. Here I am from beyond these shores.
Used to be so full of faith listening to them in the 90s ,then faith in gods love and faithfulness completely broken when I saw a demon and my life changed forever by a breakdown. Evil eclipsed the love I thought would always be there and protect me 🥺
I’ve loved these guys for decades now. I saw them on the Beyond These Shores tour when Nick and Terl were in the band. They were sensational. Also saw them twice during the Journey Into the Morn tour and I was at the recording of Heaven’s Bright Sun. one of the best bands I have ever seen.
Where did you see them at? My brother saw them a couple times at cornerstone festival Chicago I would love to have seen them….maybe still one day I will. Magnificent
Magnificent music, perfectly performed by a magnificent band in a magnificent setting. Hats off to Dave Bainbridge, Joanne Hogg, Phil Barker, Frank van Essen... I never found this at the time of release.
This song always touched my soul at the deepest level, made me yearn for heaven yet fill me with a sadness of leaving those behind who were once always in my heart
Some of us hear His call to leave the safety of the shore, and launch out far beyond where our companions have gone before. When we do, He is there. And He is more.
I first heard Iona from a CD I found in a used music shop. "The Book of Kells". This was back in 1993. 31 years ago. I was hooked after that and found four other CDs. Rare to find here in the Southeastern USA. BTW, I played TBOK today on YT Music. Never gets old! Iona's music was instrumental in me converting to the Orthodox Church.
Actually, it cant get any better than this, if you doubt the power, emotion and wonder of Iona's music then Im afraid you have no heart and soul....and possibly no ears !
I love IONA and this song anyway, but this version is "another realm" of beauty. (Hungarian:) Nagyon szeretem az IONA-t és ezt a dalt is, de ez a felvétel újabb gyönyörűséggel ajándékozott meg!
Annointed and so surreal and beautifull. Reminds me of the Holy Spirit and its moving hearts to do the Fathers will, the abundant life that can only be found in Christ.
Add to all the comments that these are some of the most talented musicians you could ever come across and they send you on a spiritual journey which fills your whole being
This music captured my soul in the when I was studying theology. I came to find out years later (just a few years ago) that my great grandfather came from the Isle of Mull. So now this music holds even more meaning. It's right next to IONA. I can't wait to go there one day and explore my family history.
I often listen to Iona with one of The Lord Of The Rings movies (without the sound on) playing in the background. I'm a big LOTR geek and love the mind and writings of JRR Tolkein and CS Lewis. What awesome thinkers and minds.
guys you are my teachers how to worship in this stile of music, I am From ELl Salvdor C.A. hispanic counry, thanks for your music and time to worhip the Lord...GBU ALL and I hope to see you one day playing here in SEATTLE WA USA :-)
Iona play Lancaster strhoms in the nineties says Dik bowbelski poet author and musician ethereal and inspiring and they are so enthralling sunbeam and the light rays of Derby sonnhelnstrahl und die Licht strahlen pray please for our radio play and radio Derby interview
Iona are a national treasure playing superb music say sunbeam and the light rays of Derby sonnhelnstrahl und die Licht will be motivated by their prodigious output
Por natureza do instrumento, o baterista toca sentado e, do clássico ponto de vista do ouvinte, atrás dos tambores e pratos, o que o esconde ainda mais. Não obstante, os colegas, alguns com pirâmide de teclados, embora toquem de pé, prostam-se à frente do baterista. O que os faz não perceber que ocultam um dos membros do grupo? Sim, muitos sabem, mas não ousarão vencer a si próprios.
I like Iona's music but I've always hated the ecumenical 'spirit' that seems a part of the band's ethos. They're playing in a RC Church here surrounded by images in the windows. It may evoke a 'spiritual' atmosphere but it isn't necessarily a Holy Spirit atmosphere.
@@timcul OK, thanks for the correction. However, my comment about ''ecumenical 'spirit' and 'surrounded by images in the windows' stands.

Been a fan of IONA since the days of old. LOL! I turn 63 Sept.16th. Anointed by and through the Holy Spirit. Makes me want to sail the Irish Coast.
Oh wow I thought it was always about the island of iona in Scotland?
Adding on...Still listening to IONA. I turn 65 Sept.16th!

I've been a fan for 22 years. I hope one day to see them live. Their music is full of wonder and beauty.
I saw them live in Michigan about 5 years ago. I loved it.
Saw them about 25 years ago! Amazing back then too!

💗 Glory to YHVH. Much Love! Listening to you since 1992 🤗 “Let Your Glory Fall!!!!!” “Today” 🥰😍 Yah Bless You ALL 👸🏻🤴🏽
Transcendent, beautiful, haunting. We are blessed to be alive now and witness this. Gratitude...

What a terrific guitarist Bainbridge is ... so much warmth and emotion oozing from his fingertips.
Yes Rick! The Best! Plus his surreal tone is magnificent.
Iona, heard them 21 years ago in Poland 🇵🇱 some fellows played them to me. Then I decided to find world they singing about. Here I am from beyond these shores.
If you ever had the joy, being on the isle of Iona, you would breathe this song!
It's hard to imagine music more beautiful that this.
+Stu McLellan and beautifully powerful words to match!
Their music is gentle yet with power - the same as God
Agreed. It's understated, but powerful, at the same time. @@stustig9430
Clearly, you haven't heard Cannibal Corpse.
@@richardvanry9000 listening to cannibal corpse is like listening to someone fart loud and thats pretty much it.
LOVE! PRAISE JESUS! Have listened to Iona since i was a young boy! Now my boy is learning Guitar and loving Iona too.
Prayers of gratitude for these wonderful Brothers and Sister. Love this so very much...
This song is like a special light illuminating the path to heaven 🤗🤗🤗. L.L.&P🖖🖖🖖

Like you, I’ve seen these guys in so many forms and love them to bits .... some of the most passionate musicians and vocalist I have ever heard
Where did you see them at?

Love iona from a young age, stunning, used to fall asleep to their music(in a good way) long may they continue
I just love their music and the voice of Joanne is sublime. Wonderful.
I'm glad to see these guys are still performing. What an amazingly talented band. And Joanne's voice. Chills.
In the nineties I only had one CD by them, it was a double live CD "Heaven's Bright Sun" and I played it over and over!
Stunning arrangement. I have had the pleasure of seeing Iona around 7 times since their very beginnings
This truly stands the test of time, every bit as beautiful, relevant and meaningful as it was then.
Actually, it cant get any better than this, if you doubt the power, emotion and wonder of Iona's music then Im afraid you have no heart and soul....and possibly no ears !
Oh, I loved this band, back in the day!
I love IONA and this song anyway, but this version is "another realm" of beauty. (Hungarian:) Nagyon szeretem az IONA-t és ezt a dalt is, de ez a felvétel újabb gyönyörűséggel ajándékozott meg!
Still listening in june 2024,
Annointed and so surreal and beautifull. Reminds me of the Holy Spirit and its moving hearts to do the Fathers will, the abundant life that can only be found in Christ.
Amen!
Yes definitely annointed and filled with and by the Holy Spirit.
Add to all the comments that these are some of the most talented musicians you could ever come across and they send you on a spiritual journey which fills your whole being
popinjaykev That is such a beautifull comment. Ionas music is so annointed and makes me weep.

Everyone who loves a themed album and appreciates good music should really take the time and listen to Beyond These Shores! My fav of Iona by far!
Really fantastic video production. Wish you had the whole concert to view, but I thank you for the two songs you have posted.
The most beautiful version I ever hear of The Edge Of The World
Pure Magical sounds in such a place !

You're on the right track just keep following 😇😇😇

Bem como disseram. Essa banda é ótima. Conheci esse grupo através de um dos trabalhos desta vocalista para o game Xenogears.
Oi! Lancei um vídeo sobre esta banda, e falo sobre um cd deles. Fica o convite. Talvez goste.

Guy on guitar & keyboard reminds me of Kerry Livgren of Kansas, a musical genius.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have in this corner David Bainbridge!

Nice. I don't share all the religious baloney, but it's nice to listen to it as just music.
J'aime beaucoup la superbe robe de Joanne
What does the “trees that rise like ghosts bearing peoples names” signify?
Thank you Greg, appreciate the comment.
Greatness.
lindo
Wow.
My name is Iona
❤👍
exelente!!!
Its mystic magic
Where can I meet Iona, in Ireland? Where are they based?
(Thanks to those can help me!)
The missionary's song..
Don't worry money well spent, usually a great show. Iona ask Nathan Holme to support you, check him out on youtube
Very "jeffbecky" sound. perfect.
Thumbs down from who? Deaf mute?
BGoldtone satan, thats who!
It goes on..and on...and on.... yeah u get the point
great sounds like a Kate bush song.. with Olivias voice
This could be called Enoch's Song.....

Actually it wasn't a RC Church, it was St Patrick's Church of Ireland
