Celtic Woman "Isle of Innisfree"

[@rickmulligan1894]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard or seen.

[@jacquelinekalich3265]

The song's simplicity is it's beauty. Her voice just tops it.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you so much!

[@goldy741]

​@@RebeccaWinckworth You have an amazing voice!

[@JRVlogs2899]

Beautiful voice. Rebecca can be a member of Celtic Woman..🥰

[@shonedwards1650]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you very much.

[@ohchunglee2987]

Your virtuosity in playing the harp has ensured that wonderful Irish heritage will continue

[@michealmacwilliams4247]

This music makes me proud that I am Scots Irish, I am more Scottish than Irish but I still love this music as I do all Celtic music

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

We are all Celtic cousins, after all!

[@glenmcgregor3366]

I am replanted Scottie. I came to the U.S. as an orphan when I was 12 in 1958. I am like you. No matter where you are, where you are going the music stays with you. It's a part of you that never changes. I to remember this melody from The Quiet Man. I heard it before that and it has always been a deep heart felt anthem. Once a Celt. always a Celt. I was born in Durness, Scotland.

[@JustFiddler]

I'm not scottish or irish. but i love both

[@dannyhumberstone9407]

An angel's voice to such a gem of a song. Beautiful.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Means a lot. Thank you.

[@cliffmoher1096]

I love, and will always love, Orlagh Fallon, but there is no denying the enormous talent of this young lady. Impeccably rendered.

[@shuboy05]

Isle of Innisfree will always be Orla's song but Rebecca did an amazing job singing this.

[@aidanjanemcintosh6919]

she should just join Celtic Woman alright~

[@tomwakkerman5407]

ja, i prefer the orla's version to

[@Pappenheim40]

In front of such an audience - playing this song without any any accidence - my deeeepest, deepest RESPECT !!! And what a voice ... made my day.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

It was frightening, alright :)

[@john8787]

I believe that is a voice of a real Angel

[@JustFiddler]

me too

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you so much! You can find my music on my channel.

[@chrisyoung5335]

This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It speaks to the soul. Beautifully performed, absolutely perfect in every way.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you.

[@alanhaisley4870]

Strange how many people think of music differently than I. I fell in love with this song first from "The Quiet Man". Each time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes - no matter the artist. There are other pieces - and other performers - that do that for me. As far as I am concerned, each of these is as great and wonderful as the next. I don't ask of art and artists that they be the "best", only that they speak to my soul.

[@jpsview3155]

Truly one of my very favourite movies and this song has long been something special to me!

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you so much!

[@johncombs2990]

I love that beautiful little smile she gives when she bows to the audience at the end. Oh. man, that island must be overloaded with beautiful an talented women.

[@mauijttewaal]

LOL

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

I was nervous and happy :)

[@danielbyrne8351]

[@karlgunther-turkisharchery4272]

My favourite Irish tune! Heared it for the first time many years ago in the movie "The Quiet Man" where it is performed by Maureen O'Hara.

[@AndrSh-84]

Absolutely amazing.When i heard her voice, my soul soars to Heaven.

[@RebeccaWinckworth]

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

My father would sing this to us when we were children

[@JustFiddler]

i miss my father😊

[@mrmichaellinehan]

For all those generations of Irish people who left home to make a life for themselves in far off lands they would dream of Ireland and their homeland and families...this has passed down the to diaspora of Irish children and grandchildren....who will never forget their heritage 🇮🇪 ☘️

[@kevinhurt7119]

Beautiful voice. I listened to this and then Orla's version. Both are great. To put Orla up by criticizing Rebecca is in poor taste. Both singers have wonderful voices and Rebecca's rendition here is pretty special. I hope she becomes a permanent CW addition.

Lyrics : I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer, And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say, But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer, When all the things he loves are far away. And precious things are dreams unto an exile. They take him o'er the land across the sea Especially when it happens he's an exile, From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree. And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops, Of this great city, wondrous though it be, I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter... I'm once again back home in Inisfree. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys, And find a peace no other land would know. I hear the birds make music fit for angels, And watch the rivers laughing as they flow. And then into a humble shack I wander My dear old home and tenderly behold, The folks I love around the turf fire, gathered. On bended knees, their rosary is told. But dreams don't last Though dreams are not forgotten And soon I'm back to stern reality. But though they pave the footways here with gold dust, I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree.

[@tomo-3145]

I'm sorry to comment in Japanese. 既に、何十回見たのか分からないくらい、繰り返し再生してます。そして、その度に感動を新たにしています。 Rebeccaの美しさと歌の上手さには、元々注目していましたが…。 このRebeccaは、余りに美しく、余りに歌が上手い。 ひとつひとつの仕草や表情までもが、歌の世界を語っていて、まさに“神が降りて来た”状態であり、完璧だったのではないでしょうか。 Orla Fallonの、独立してからのversionも大好きですが、それとはまた異なる歌世界として、完成されていると感じるのは、私だけでしょうか？ ExcellentとかWell Done という言葉は、このようなPerformanceに対してこそ使われるべきでしょう。

[@hiltonschool]

Most beautifully sung.

[@gm5881]

This beautiful Irish Song reminds me of a great movie, The Quiet Man, starring Maureen O"Hara and John Wayne, both of whom are now deceased. This song was actually the theme song from the movie. A beautiful movie, two great actors and my most favorite movie of all time Erin go Bragh.

[@pattimuse1]

Absolutely amazing! A clear, beautiful voice gently accompanied by her harp playing and only a few strings!

I love Rebecca Winckworth! I wish she was a permanent member of Celtic Woman. They really need a fourth voice and a harpist. :)

[@johncombs2990]

I love Rebecca, too (oh, that beautiful little smile she gives at the end). The new girl, Tara McNeill, also sings and plays the harp and piano in addition to the fiddle. It will be interesting how her talents are used in the future.

Oh, Inisfree, my island, I'm returning From wasted years across the wintry sea. And when I come back to my own dear Ireland, I'll rest a while beside you, gradh mochroidhe.* ORIGINAL LYRICS TO THE SONG: (by Dick Farrelly)I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer, And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say, But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away. And precious things are dreams unto an exile. They take him o'er the land across the sea -- Especially when it happens he's an exile From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree.And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops Of this great city, wondrous though it be, I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter. I'm once again back home in Inisfree. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys And find a peace no other land could know. I hear the birds make music fit for angels And watch the rivers laughing as they flow. And then into a humble shack I wander -- My dear old home -- and tenderly behold The folks I love around the turf fire gathered. On bended knees ,their rosary is told. But dreams don't last -- Though dreams are not forgotten -- And soon I'm back to stern reality. But though they pave the footways here with gold dust, I still would choose the Isle of Inisfree. * Gaelic words meaning "love of my heart"

[@mhelcastillo7224]

hey its Rebecca! I like her ever since I saw her video with Lynn.. actually she do sound like Lynn and Alex's voices combined.. with her breathy and smooth voice like Lynn but with the power and clearness like Alex.. well.. just saying.. :P nevertheless, she would be a great addition for Celtic Woman if ever.. cheers!

[@florentinb3166]

WoW! I am a huge super fan of CW for year's, and Alex & Lynn are two my most favorite member's, and it's only just now that I'm looking as if Rebecca sounds like the duo. I would not replace her over Lynn, but as Alex & Lynn that's cool and neat to picture! I love Alex & Lynn so much, if only they had one more CW DVD taping. Well said on the characteristics of the two!

[@florentinb3166]

You can hear Alex sing Newgrange, and also with Susan & MC on some X Anniversary Tour Clips! : D

I've always loved Orla's version of this song but with all due respect I love this one so much more. I have the Blu-ray of this concert and Rebecca Winckworth's is the woman in this video.

[@manjurowlo1235]

Wow she is superb...🙂😘

[@kaalamankusinaatkantahan3487]

Orla gave me an impression of a mother telling her young one about her wonderful memories about the place while Rebecca's rendition is like a daughter who shares her feelings towards Inisfree.

[@athenspirates]

Isle Of Inisfree I've met some folks Who say that I'm a dreamer And I've no doubt There's truth in what they say But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away And precious things Are dreams unto an exile They take him o'er The land across the sea Especially when it happens he's an exile From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree And when the moonlight Peeps across the rooftops Of this great city

[@kahlesnell4893]

Is it me or does her voice sound a lot like Alex Sharpe? Nothing wrong with that. I love Alex. She was my favorite. I adore Rebecca here. Her voice is angelic. I could see her as a future CW.

[@florentinb3166]

I love Alex Sharpe too, if only she was invited for one more CW DVD taping after the Tenth Anniversary which I'm proud she joined back. If you want I can share some of Alex singing Newgrange, or with Susan & MC on the X Tour. Someone had posted second from you that Rebecca has her breathy and smooth voice like Lynn but with the power and clearness like Alex..

[@cmulligan01]

I'd love that. Anything more by Alex Sharpe is good. I've followed Rebecca Winckworth since she worked with Lynn Hilary. If you are interested in a totally different type of music from her check out when she was the singer of Perfect Friction. She isn't the singer anymore but the band is still playing.

[@shuboy05]

That's it! It was bugging me for a long time who Rebecca sounded similar to.

[@aidanjanemcintosh6919]

Yees, oh yes!! She does remind me of Alex Sharpe!!
