I haven't posted in a bit because I have been insanely busy with everything. I'm still busy with a whole bunch of miscellaneous items, so I'll go in depth in another post soon, but for now, I just wanted to share this song/video. Now you may be thinking, "Carol, since when were you into Irish vocal ensembles?" and to be honest, I don't know. For some reason, random Irish songs have just mesmerized me through the years, and there are still a few that I've heard and have not yet figured out what they are yet.
The thing is, I had heard this song way back when I was a little kid, and I don't even remember how long ago. I just have a vague memory of looking at the TV and seeing a whole sea of people, and something along the lines of "from Celi to Bali" and "sail away, sail away, sail away." I knew it had something to do with "Celtic Woman," and for years, I believed that to be the song name, or the name of a show or musical, with this song as one of its features. Just recently, when I looked up an approximation of the lyrics and "Celtic Woman" did I find out that it's this song, and this particular performance is probably the one I had seen on TV. So I went and looked it up on Spotify and it's been on loop for days. Enjoy! ◊
UPDATE: The other Irish song I had heard was Bill Whelan's "Reel Around the Sun" from Riverdance, a song that Jason Brown skated to in the 2014 Figure Skating Championships. He won a spot on the US Olympic Team with this routine. Here's the video.
