Aililiú na Gamhna Madelyn Monaghan

Irish traditional

[@MadelynMonaghan]

Hi everyone! Madelyn here. Thank you for such kind (and poetic!) comments! I've just arranged and released my version of another beautiful ancient summer song (with birdsong I recorded in this very backyard at dawn on the first of May--the start of Bealtaine!). It's called "samhradh, samhradh" and it's streaming wherever you get your music and also available for purchase on my Bandcamp ($1) if you'd like to support my work more directly. Here are the links to listen! Go raibh míle maith agaibh :) Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/4a0UWT1QpGJENP82kBeMOo?si=d7cfeefa906b40be Bandcamp: madelynmonaghan.bandcamp.com/track/samhradh-samhradh

Wow, havent heard Gaelic personally spoken or sung since my uncle Jack passed in 1974....thank you Madelyn

[@faefire6025]

Here from TikTok, cause I needed to hear more. Honestly, it feels like being called home.

[@MadelynMonaghan]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment🙏🏻✨

what is the song about? Is it possible to sing this in English?

[@bluestallion777]

her voice awakens some ancient memory in me that I haven't had in a very very long time

[@goalieslayer]

yup

[@edgleason8918]

Hearing Irish Gaelic music sounds like someone is calling me home.

[@madelyn_monaghan]

Thank you, this is such a kind comment! Just dropping in to say I released another ancient gem of an Irish traditional called "samhradh, samhradh" in all stores and platforms. Here's the link to listen on Spotify. Thanks again! Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/4a0UWT1QpGJENP82kBeMOo?si=d7cfeefa906b40be

[@goalieslayer]

it feels like she is singing beauty into existence from the depth of her soul

[@MIBIncomeEncourager]

wonderful.....draws me in.....reminds me of the happiest days of my life in Sligo....sitting in surf with evening sunsets, the wild shores, laughing and holding hands with sinead on the beach......draws my soul into a happy place of memories. beautiful voice.....

[@philruane5910]

A song has never been sung better

[@alexandrecervantes9125]

Would a 10 hours version exist, I would listen to it twice in a row.

[@MadelynMonaghan]

Haha aw thank you! You might be interested in my latest release, which is very similar to this song--another ancient Irish gem about summer and featuring birdsong I recorded myself! Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/4a0UWT1QpGJENP82kBeMOo?si=d7cfeefa906b40be

[@Lulu-ih9by]

this song feels like the best kinds of dreams, of magic and nature. your voice sounds like breezes in the spring fields and the cool wind of a stream in the hot summer, it feels like warm food in autumn and home in winter.

[@erikm8372]

Wow, never heard a slow version! Amazing…

[@nojoakingaround]

This literally gave me goosebumps.

Well now, I'll tell you something Madelyn, I dearly love every part of every second. And yes, I know for a fact they weren't bees or the birds... I just found you here yesterday, and I'm so enchanted.

Irish truly brings out all of the writers and imaginers of the world. Thank you so much :)

[@rosemarietkyle6475]

Not long ago, I found out that I have 53% Irish DNA (the rest was UK, France & Scandinavia). This song makes my Irish DNA shiver with joy! 💓

[@alenavanophem1907]

I love this kind of singing...the way it stirs the heart n soul. How it so often 'feels' like a mixture of emotions going on at the same time; heavy/sad and somehow hopefull/happy/sereen. I'm Dutch and speak English quite well, but I've always wanted to speak more languages. Gealic, Hebrew and Navajo are the top of my top 10...

I found this because of the duet with Malinda. I truly enjoy that the song is so personal that you shut out the world to tell it to us. Beautiful language, Gaelic. I am eager to learn more about this music.

English Translation: I'm a herdsman's daughter sure enough Who once lived down by the banks of the Laune I had a cabin there a window in the gable While I heated the milk I called in the calves Chorus: The calves, the pretty calves The calves, I loved them the best The calves, the fine pretty calves Dancing in the meadow on a clear summer's morning Get me a can and get me a ladle Get me a vessel to take all the cream The magic music of the world always around me But sweeter sounding still the cattle lowing to the parlor (Chorus) Let us go to the fair and buy us some calves Put them to grass out above in the valleys They'll eat all the grass and the tufts of the strange gorse And come home for the milk at the start of the summer (Chorus 2x)

[@pipewatcher]

Just heard this beautiful music on TT and I came straight to find this perfect music for my meditation relaxation. If you made CDs or something I would love a long version off this like 20 mins or something. I feel the energy and love in your voice taking me to memories I didn't even know I had ❤️

What is this song about? It is beautiful

[@leaveyofairarmy185]

I'm speechless 🍑🚫, what a prestine and surreal voice and your tecnique shines through such an artful blend of lilting vibrato and haunting stillness. I'm so glad I've come across your singing and I basically weep each and everytime I hear a tune of yours. I do believe it's a shame that you got so little views, because this kind of musical expression gleams like a star, which is near and far at the same time. The lyrics are obscure, yet meaningful; the sonic landscapes and the emotions you evoke from a single drone (by the way, this is the type of drone that governments should be founding and financing) is pretty damn trascendental and ungraspable. In conclusion, we ought to bow to your terrific performance, you outstanding breath control and your aura of mesmerizing beauty!

[@MadelynMonaghan]

Oh my goodness, I too am speechless at your kind words. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and meaningful comment😌♥️✨

Your singing is enchanting and communicates such a depth of emotion. Would it be possible for you to do a cover of "Noble Maiden Fair (A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal)" from Brave? I know it's Scottish Gaelic which is different, so I don't know if you do songs like that. But if you could, that would be awesome!
