Songs for the Broken Hearted
For those who are in love and got slighted, I would suggest Heart of the Celts(Narada Records).I am not promising remedy here…the songs might aggravate the pain.The songs in this album will linger with you for a long time. Just goes to show that when it comes to love and heartbreak., the old and the new seems to unite.
Here’s one from Clannad(not included in the album)
Almost seems(Too late to turn)
Though I care a lot,
You don’t believe it’s true, do you?
So, the answer’s not given before you start to try.
Almost seems to late to turn,
What to do if I’m to learn?
Almost seems to late to turn to you.
I saw the sad decline,
a rift become a storm.
Stayed so cold last night,
This lonely heart inside me says:
Almost seems to late to turn,
What to do if I’m to learn?
Almost seems to late to turn to you.
(Breakdown)
Almost seems to late to turn,
What to do if I’m to learn?
Almost seems to late to turn to you.
Now, the anger’s gone,
It leaves behind the pain again.
Where did we go wrong?
Let go my shadow, pass me by.
Almost seems to late to turn,
What to do if I’m to learn?
Almost seems to late to turn to you.
(Instrumental to End)
New stuff in Celtic world
Sorry to be away for a long time fairy brothers and sisters.As luck would have it ,I have been seduced by vinyl records and have been thriving in analog music.I am just glad to aquire the following CDs.
Tapestry by Moya Brennan.
I love this deeper and warmer sister of Enya. She has such an acoustic presence in Celtic music and her projects never fail to disappoint. My personal pick is Gone are the Days which has a soulful quality.But I tell you, the rest are must haves and best to listen to when the days is stressful. It sort of takes the blues away.
Celtic Voices Various Artists
Mary McLaughlin,Connie Dover,Maireid Sullivan and Emma Christian.These four women of magical voices, all make music that is evocative of Ireland,Scotland and the rest of the British Isle.All tracks sound as if they were made from gold. Timeless,crisp,lush and totally heavenly.
