I have a cousin in Scotland who could sing like this. Maybe she still can but I haven't seen her in ages. She would just be sitting on the floor of the living room with a bunch of us at hogmanay, nothing much happening and too early to call it a night (more like 2 a.m. I left at 9 a.m.) No instruments. She'd just break out in gaelic songs on her own.
Well, if Gaelic ever needed a helping hand to survive as a living language, I cannot think of a better way than this. She is simply extraordinary. I wish I was back in Scotland and could see her perform 'live' in a small pub setting as she occasionally has. I would then be able to die 'a happy man' with a Gaelic song in my heart.
Good. Gaelic or Gadhlic is the first written language going back 12,000 years more than. Sean scrìbh meaning old writing in Gaelic goes further back than Chinese ,Egyptian , Persian etc So keep it up. As you know English is 80% French /Latin with 15%Greek / Latin for technical/ Scientific terms

To be honest Gaelic gets on some people’s nerves. And some of those people are Scottish. As I understand it, Gaelic was spoken by the rude and uncivilized portion of Scotland. Sort of the hillbilly’s of Scotland. We have our own hillbilly’s here in the US and a good many people here don’t want to be associated with them either. I suspect the same is true in Scotland. I guess some people don’t like being reminded of their less than glamorous roots. Kinda silly really when you think about it.

So so beautiful. The sound is so unqique , and very different from my Irish Music experience. I wonder how much it is influenced by Norse, Lowland Scots , Anglo-Saxon and possibly Pictich , in addition to the Gaelic tradition. Whatever the origins, it is beautiful and sang beautifully.
For a couple of hundred years, the children and grandchildren of Henry II tried to make the Gaelic languages of Scotland and Ireland illegal, outlawing not just the language but personal names and place names. From this experience come the "hedge teachers" who continued to teach the young about their language and heritage- in 1936, Ireland was finally granted it's own Constitution and Parliament free of duress form White Hall. Scotland had made a different accommodation after the same sort of never ending hegominy - and may be on the thresh hold of withdrawal from the UK as well as N. Ireland- both see more good in remaining in the EU than problems. It is my hope that both are to make free choice on this matter- the free Gaels are awesome, indeed!FR

Saw her in Scottish Hogmaney celebrations. Danced in the New Year to her amazing Gaelic Mouth Music. No chance of Gaelic making an exit whilst she's its champion. .
Angus MacLellan I searched Google, and they say there is! "Linguistically, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are closely related, but speakers of one language are not likely to understand the language of the other." Irish Gaelic speakers just refer to their version as "Irish"
Angus MacLellan I don't want to join this debate as being English I'm not qualified to venture an opinion! However, I didn't actually say 'Scottish Gaelic', which definately sounds unecessary. But I did say Scottish Hogmaney which was probably a bit silly, as Hogmaney must be only Scottish (I'm assuming - correct me if !'m wrong). Do you speak (or even sing) in Gaelic Angus? Must be amazing to sing - or even speak 'bilingually' like this and thus preserve the language.
Angus MacLellan The other question I would ask is - who is singing in Gàidhlig and preserving that in the same way as Julie is with Gaelic? Do you (or anybody else) know any examples I can listen to?
bigbusterfromglynn I'm trying to be even handed here!! I can understand you putting 'Scottish Gaelic' in the title, as many people from all over the world seeing that will immediately realise where this language originates from and, being fascinated with Scottish culture - will immediately be attracted to that upload. Many thanks for this wonderful upload!
I'm Irish - American We came to America a great many years ago. Gaelic was never spoken. In point of fact, it would suggest that my family wanted to leave it in our past. So I haven't any Gaelic to speak of. But this song is mesmerizing. Hypnotic. I have just listened to it a dozen times. Please sing us children of Erie a few more songs, if you would be so kind.
My Grandma's Dad emigrate from Mayo to Scotland at the turn of the last century to teach English to Gaelic speakers in Scotland as they were from the Islands and bilingual. When she came to America she married my Grandad from Cork, whose English took me a few years to understand every other word. Willy Joe Linehan would take me up to the bars on 3rd Avenue after mass on Sunday morning in a Hungarian Catholic to listen to all these men speaking Gaelic while watching hurling on 'Closed Circuit TV'. It all sounded like Greek to me! Although He taught me 'an cupla focal', and I can bless myself, say my prayers and curse. Stay well.
When you try to follow along with the lyrics, you realize how freaking awesome this is, and then you want to quit as a composer, selling your soul to the gods of "no-more-music" for you. This is a masterpiece.
Nice to here thanx a lot..i am one of the last celts from the north of france....remers/ remi tribe....we lost the musik and to speak....julie fowlis gifs goos bumbs .great!
As a very rusty Irish Gaelic speaker thoroughly enjoyed that. It’s a beautiful language - how it blends with the music. Such lovely cadence & fantastic delivery. Wonderful!.
Julie's a fresh breeze from the Hebrides, and a world treasure - it's neat to see/hear Eamon playing guitar - he's a fine musician, usually on bouzouki, and shows remarkable serenity in letting his wife have nearly all the praise and attention - a wonderful couple making many hearts soar.
I love roots music like this. You can certainly see where early American folk music came from. This influence runs through traditional bluegrass and country music, too, not the garbage played on today's country radio but the older stuff.
The super Julie Fowlis.. love her and all she sings. Plays with some very top musicians as well. No need to know the words... but worth learning Gaelic just to know.
Saw Julie (and Eamonn and Duncan) again, in concert in London last night. Yet again, another wonderful show from such a talented group, it was a privilege to see them, Julie has a terrific voice. So glad I was able to go.
Scottish is a beautiful written and spoken language. God Bless my Mother for speaking Scottish around the house. And God Bless Julie Fowlis ♥ for carrying on the tradition of a heroic people. Alba Gu Brath !
My wife and I had the great pleasure of seeing Julie perform live in Inverness, she was amazing. It was a great atmosphere because she lives, (or lived) in Dingwall which is just North of Inverness...so she was performing to a home crowd. I'll never forget her coming back on stage at the end and blowing us all away by playing a set of bagpipes nearly as big as her ! Yes, she's pure class.
I feel this way too. I found Irish (Gaeilge) on the Duolingo app, it's great! I do the app, and watch the traditional Irish music videos and kids lessons, for pronunciation. Now I just need to find a few local folks (south Florida, USA) who speak Gaeilge so I can practice! Is breá liom é!! (I love it!)
Long been a fan of Celtic music.But this is my first time hearing Scottish Gaelic.( I’m 62) Wow! Amazing,inspirational sound.Excellent voice.Gotta heat more of her.See ya!
You European folks must think me flaky for loving this stuff so much. Remember to her she is just singing. In the old -school meaning of the word "diversity" i could really just say "a longing for something different in a place that is always the same" Believe me it is always the same here.
What a lovely, talented lass, Scot here, don't understand a bit of Gaelic, but arrestingly beautiful, cheers from the US, harkens back to my homeland :-)
I just bought one of her albums and don't understand a word of Gaelic but I still enjoy her singing. I don't know how she gets all those syllables out so fast.
Something about a big bonnet. Mhior is "big" and bhonaid is "bonnet". Air is roughly " on". At any rate, it's a lively song, and would be fun to dance to.😊
My family on mum's side were born and raised in Scotland, but sadly none of them spoke Gaelic as far as I know. Granddad spoke modern Scottish slang, but that's about it. I wish they had taught me more about my Celtic roots. :( feel like I've missed out on a lot of beautiful history linked to my ancestors.
Very nice! If you ever get to see the original Walt Disiney movie starring Richard Todd and Glennis John's (on cd) "Rob Roy", c1954, the wedding scene features several ladies singing in this style.
My mom used to sing in Gaelic to me when I was little. When she was dying I sang to her in Gaelic. It was a gift she gave me. Now I sing to my granddaughter every night.

For an Irish person.. on the other side of the world, you make me want to come home…..where my heart is. You make things come right into my heart.
Brings Joy and sorrow in equal measure without understanding a single word .Julie Fowlis 🙏
I'm half scottish (gordon clan) my great grandmother & father came to Canada from Edinburgh...remembering their culture tonight
A standard of excellence that is hard to emulate. Fantastic, Julie Fowlis!
My wife and I had the great pleasure of seeing Julie perform live in Inverness, she was amazing.
It was a great atmosphere because she lives, (or lived) in Dingwall which is just North of Inverness...so she was performing to a home crowd.
I'll never forget her coming back on stage at the end and blowing us all away by playing a set of bagpipes nearly as big as her !
Yes, she's pure class.
Tha i math air seinn, s'e an fhirinn a th'agaibh. Have you thought about learning some Gaidhlig, or maybe you speak it already?
@@pulchralutetia
I tried it once but nearly ended up in intensive care !!
I'm afraid I'll never master it, although I love it's sound.
Now what viewers would give thumbs down to this other than people who have no idea what raw music and talent are?
I love your music. I am a McKay.
Salute from, Texas.
If one day I go to Scotland, I hope I will hear this happy song in a pub ^^
My father did a roadtrip from France to Scotland when he was young.
i have this running on 2 devices at once - she is singing a round with herself & its great!
hmm.
That must be awesome!!
I am not sure if this the right music when i am in bed at 2am , but tbh.... I DONT CAAAARE❤JIHAAA
I was able to hear Julie at the university where I work. She is amazing and the band plays beautifully.
I have NO clue what she’s saying but I like the way she’s saying it. Makes me wish my family would’ve kept the language when they came over.
Same here.
We left 240 years ago for The Ohio Country. Been here ever since.
Our Gaelic is long gone.
I feel this way too.
I found Irish (Gaeilge) on the Duolingo app, it's great!
I do the app, and watch the traditional Irish music videos and kids lessons, for pronunciation.
Now I just need to find a few local folks (south Florida, USA) who speak Gaeilge so I can practice!
Is breá liom é!!
(I love it!)
Jennifer Oliver , now I’ve gotta find that app !
My parents and grandparents spoke Gaelic. Never understood a word. Definitely a Scots beat.
She is a Gaelic goddess
No need to exagerate Mr. false Reverend.
So good. I loved Fowlis' appearance on the "Port" series put out by TG4.
One of the world's greatest.
Tha sin fior!
What's TG4? And the Port? Thanks :)
@@yoyo-naratu1515 TG4 is an Irish channel that is broadcasted through Irish!
Long been a fan of Celtic music.But this is my first time hearing Scottish Gaelic.( I’m 62) Wow! Amazing,inspirational sound.Excellent voice.Gotta heat more of her.See ya!
Thanks. Bless you ❤ amazing Wonderfull Formidable. Heavenly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who on earth would dislike this?
This hits me straight to my heart and soul. I'm very fortunate enough and live to see and hear beautiful music like this.
Grandpa was Irish, I'm from Alabama. Something about give us a big hug before you go? My Gaelic is just a memory of a lovely man.
well this is scottish gaelic
You European folks must think me flaky for loving this stuff so much. Remember to her she is just singing. In the old -school meaning of the word "diversity" i could really just say "a longing for something different in a place that is always the same" Believe me it is always the same here.
This is the song that introduced Julie Fowlis to me, and I have been enjoying her music for years now.
Wish I was there having a pint and watching.
Ich verstehe kein Wort, aber die Musik gefällt mir sehr gut und ihr Lächeln.
What a lovely, talented lass, Scot here, don't understand a bit of Gaelic, but arrestingly beautiful, cheers from the US, harkens back to my homeland :-)
Thank you, TH-cam recommendations! Wow. Voice and face of an angel.
her timing is impeccable
Gets my Scottish blood moving, full of inspiration and hope.....and vigor
Always sounds sooo close to 'mouth music' to me - and I love it!
I`m speechless! Could listen to the Gaelic all day.
Alba gu bràth, lol
GOOSEBUMPS and giggles!!💚💚💚💚💚💚
Is breá liom é!!
Boom, it goes on my playlist. I just reached 400 songs.
I just bought one of her albums and don't understand a word of Gaelic but I still enjoy her singing. I don't know how she gets all those syllables out so fast.
Julie Fowlis sounds very Celtic Colours too, of Deep Green Fields of Celtic Gaelic Scotland Melodic Music Culture very Ancient Celtic Music.!
Excellent, I Love, thankyou & bright blessings to all.
Wonderful. Jullie's pronunciation is so clear!
Tha e àlainn!
@@adventureswithaurora agus sgoinneil
Something about a big bonnet. Mhior is "big" and bhonaid is "bonnet". Air is roughly " on".
At any rate, it's a lively song, and would be fun to dance to.😊
Wow!
This is intoxicating!
My family on mum's side were born and raised in Scotland, but sadly none of them spoke Gaelic as far as I know. Granddad spoke modern Scottish slang, but that's about it. I wish they had taught me more about my Celtic roots. :( feel like I've missed out on a lot of beautiful history linked to my ancestors.
This girl the best xxc
Just the thing for the " optimism management" I've been struggling with in these times!
cant get enough, Thank you Julie
What a beautiful and talented woman!
That was awesome. Loved it. We need more of this great group and fantastic singer. Love the tune.
Very good singer and beautiful woman !
Very nice!
If you ever get to see the original Walt Disiney movie starring Richard Todd and Glennis John's (on cd) "Rob Roy", c1954, the wedding scene features several ladies singing in this style.
Thanks for that
Slainte and bless you lassie!
Julie Fowlis - Love it, your greatest fan
Amazing as always. She sings this song so well!
Scσttisђ Siℓεηcε She has a Beautiful Voice. Glad you like the video.
I love this so much!! I don’t care how many times I listen to this, I will never get bored of it!!
my people are from N. Uist, this speaks to me , thanks Julie... from Vancouver, Canada!
Simply amazing.
This goes straight to the deepest part of my soul.
Man she is good. And the band as well.
Man, this lady fruckin amazingly stellar.
That is utterly amazing. Thank God it survived.
Rzadko spotykany Cud,nie tylko "muzyczny"...
Gdzie sie rodza Tacy Ludzie?❤
Respekt.
Love hearing Gaelic or Erse still being used.
When you FEEL music in stead of hearing it 💗🥰
thankyou from idaho
Extraordinary piece of music performed by a great singer and fellow musicians
What a beautiful voice and How beautiful, dear princess
Julie Fowlis♫
Luv this Scottish girl xxxxx
So beautiful how the language shares similarities to my own (Gaeilge) but the pattern of how it’s spoken is so different ❤
I don't understand the words, but I like it. She sings well.
Wow! What a singer! 🏴👍
