Celtic Woman - The Soft Goodbye

[@graciegorrell1]

My Mom passed away recently and this song was just the right song to listen to tonight. What beautiful voices everyone has and Mom was a beautiful singer and pianist herself. Thank you.

[@Airilla100]

We played this at my mom memorial service. She loved Celtic Woman. It was beautiful.

[@michelehuckaby1149]

I played this at the Memorial for my wife. It gave me so much peace to know she was waiting for me, just beyond the brightest star in the evening sky.

[@oliviaphoenix9742]

I Love you --My Father took to flight on 1/22/2021 after being on the Runway of Life since 2/26/1926 for 94 plus years. You are the Brightest Star In the Cosmos

[@Larkonus]

The harmonization starting at 2:55 is amazing. They all started as solo artists, but they manage to come together as though they've been singing together for all their lives. Truly a beautiful song, one of the best that they have ever sung, in my honest opinion.

[@MrSupersleeperdude]

Listen to Chloe sing galway bay. You'll be blown away.

[@vincetumeo365]

I can not believe the quality of this group. Just simply fantasatic. Can't get enough of their music

[@ChiaraMarilera]

I love this song so very, very much. It's Celtic Woman's ultimate masterpiece and the best song David Downes has ever written! I can't find any words for my love for this song.... I so love it ♥

[@dirkhoekstra727]

And here I am again in 2020...Celtic Women will never be the same without those ladies.

[@anneswanson2881]

Absolutely flawless. . . .their voices are so beautiful, the Irish Flutes, the Drums. P e r f e c t ! !

[@lindzannie]

I think you're absolutely right. I just saw them in concert in St. Louis last night, and Chloe has really come a long way since this airing. She's gorgeous.

[@monaclemenson2328]

I listen to their wonderful music since my husband passed away.. I noticed they will be in Nevada on October 30...if it's possible I want to go see them in person on my. 71st birthday.

[@nightwraithe84]

This has got to be one of my favorite songs by these amazing women! Lovely voices and beautiful to watch!

[@ObssessedCWFan]

What a magical moment - the birth of CW!!!

[@marcialutz7179]

Lisa Kelly will always be my favorite.

[@dennisbrown3428]

I'd love to arrange for these 3 ladies, lisa kelly, chloe agnew and meav to sing this one and you raise me up when my time comes.....those 3 are the absolute best!!!!

[@davidwestlake2955]

I played... both of those selections at my sisters funeral,, She was my very soul,, Its been over three years... i still cry when i hear them!!

[@jacklong5114]

I believe you must also add Orla to have the absolute best of Celtic Woman.

[@theoriginaldab]

I've been a fan of Celtic woman especially Lisa Chloe and Méav in the first few years and I can honestly say the group never sounded better than it did the first few years... Several years ago I decided that when my time comes, You raise me up and the soft goodbye from this CD are the ones that will be played at my memorial because those two are the greatest two songs and that category...

[@MrSupersleeperdude]

Listen to galway bay. Brings me to tears every time I listen to it.

[@kirstymoss9810]

These are truly angelic voices sent from the heavens to comfort us. Bless them.all.

[@roba8305]

Everything about this is amazing, the effortless beautiful singing, the piano, the soft powerful drums, just beautiful

[@theoriginaldab]

love Lisa doing this... and again with Méav and Chloe backing her... the best trio of the original group, and my favorites of all the members

[@rukidding-y2c]

The first Celtic Woman Show! Nothing like it before or since! All of the women touched by Celtic Woman are so, so good, but the original will always rank first.

[@1960deek]

I am a fan of alternative rock and 60's rock. How in the world did I fall in love with this music? I've seen Celtic Woman 3 times. Amazing & different each time. Can't wait till Lisa's back!!

[@starlitescape]

I saw them in concert in Rochester, Minn. last night. When I heard this song sung to the whole audience in person, it put chills down my back. Eventhough Lisa wasn't there, I believe Alex Sharpe did a wonderfuful job subbing for her absense. This is such a powerful song, & I hope it'll touch other people's lives. They all put emotion into all they are singing. The vocalists & fiddle/violin player, are angels from heaven. Bravo! Hope they stay together for a long time & make more amazing music

[@littlewolf_92]

it is sad, and beautiful...me and two of my friends were going to sing this last year at our grade 9 grad for a teacher that was very precious to us, because no matter what us and our friends went through, he seemed to know without even saying anything and he would be there to help us through it.

[@purplesstars]

These sisters can really sing from the heart and soul. Such beauty voices. Thank you for this wonderful song.

[@marniechristensen3358]

I agree Yvonne, I too miss the orig ladies. Celtic Woman is and always be one of most favorite groups EVER! I love this song it's word are so tender, meaningful and always gives me goosebumps!

[@Hairmetallurgist]

This song always makes me think of a man who must leave his love in Éire to go to America when the blight was so bad...it's a love song, a lament of being apart, a promise of faithfulness and a wish for the loved one to return...Lisa's voice, like crystal, shines on this doleful song. It never fails to bring me to a tear. I can truly feel the loss in these women's voices. It is, simply..........sublime

[@brandonseymour7474]

Mairead fills my spirit with awesome joy! What a treasure she is!

[@dineshgahlot5146]

Whose is mairead

[@MusicalxMe001]

Celtic Woman helped me through the stress of exams because of the beauty and sense of peacefulness they give. I am totally relaxed listening to them.

[@BandGeekSquadron]

As soloists, each individual girl sounds so beautiful. But, when you bring them all together, they sound so much more beautiful, like in this song. I agree with you LordofLight, this is one of the best. I love this song.

[@FlyonSilverWings]

Heard this in Endless Ocean: Blue World and it's been stuck my head ever since. It's just that good! ^^

[@Caleigho]

absolutely stunning. glorious voices, wonderful harmony...this is what music should be like.

[@MsScharlach]

Ein toller Song. Werde ich noch sehr oft hören. Vielen Dank dafür!

[@ChiaraMarilera]

I can always come back to this. Still my favourite CW song. It's just so very, very beautiful. Can't believe this is 10 1/2 years old.... Anyways, this so shows that David Downes is such a fantastic composer. I hope he has written some new songs for the Anniversary tour!

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

All this time later and I still LOVE it every time.

[@razgrizaceblaze259]

I bought it at an Irish festival in St. Charles, MO last summer. I saw it when I walked into the festival, and I couldn't leave without it. It is one of my favorite shirts, and I wore it this St. Patrick's Day.

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

Well, hi there fellow railfan!

[@ThePaconmartinez]

When the light begins to fade And shadows fall across the sea, One bright star in the evening sky Your love's light leads me on my way There's a dream that will not sleep, A burning hope that will not die So I must go now with the wind, And leave you waiting on the tide Time to fly, time to touch the sky One voice alone, a haunting cry One song, one star burning bright, May it carry me through darkest night Rain comes over the gray hills, And on the air, a soft goodbye Hear the song that I sing to you When the time has come to fly When I leave and take the wind And find the land that faith will bring, The brightest star in the evening sky Is your love waiting far for me

[@davethompson8283]

GOD IS SMILING....

[@dennisbrown3428]

lisa, chloe, and meav....the 3 best voices to travel as celtic woman..

[@prooter]

+Dennis Brown, and Orla too don't forget.

[@TheJer1963]

Lynn was always my favorite.

[@jacklong5114]

Orla must be added to any list of the best Celtic Woman vocalists.

[@EpicWott0]

I'm African American, and I truly think this is amazing. Like seriously, a tear shed through my eye. God bless.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

"The Soft Goodbye" and "Send Me A Song" are just too, too pretty not to be played over and over and over!!!.

[@lutherdobbs29]

Yvonne Williams Play Send Me a Song, Someday, amd then The Sof Goodbye for the proper squence. The Soft Goodbye is not about death. They are the best of CW.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

I never thought The Soft Goodbye was about death..where'd you get that from?? The other two songs I just listen to in any order that comes to mind..I just listen to them because they are just too too pretty..love the CW sound..

[@lutherdobbs29]

Yvonne Williams 1000 Apologiies, replied to the wrong comment. Completely agree wit hthe listen to over and over

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

Luther Dobbs No probs..just keep on listening to those wonderful voices and enjoy your day..

[@johnskelton1117]

2 beautiful songs!

[@anneswanson2881]

This is such an AWESOME song/video ! !

[@RavenclawFtW3295]

It's amazing how a country with one of the saddest histories I've heard also produces some of the most beautiful melodies in music.

[@tonymolloy6165]

Well maybe it's because of that history that we produce so many great musicians. But really it's because throughout irish history going back 1000+ years musicians/poets have always been treated with great respect. Each local chieftian had his musician, called a bard, and he was one of his closest advisors. If a travelling musician came to the chieftian's house under irish law, the brehon laws, the chieftian was obliged to treat him to hospitality and organise a feast in his honour.

[@RavenclawFtW3295]

@@tonymolloy6165 I hope the Irish do your very best not to lose that great respect for musicians and poets. Especially those who create stuff like this. The music produced here in the states is often garbage, and sometimes degrading. It's one way in which I think we should be more like Ireland.

[@mstrdiver]

The more twisted the vine, the sweeter the fruit. I'm going back to Ireland again. It is a beautiful country and stunning landscapes with wonderful people.

[@k0vert]

could not ask for a better trio, on earth or anywhere else.

[@mollybolton8425]

Chloe always looks so adorable in these vids :)

[@macaelatice-loma1048]

tee hee baby Chloe!!

[@curiouschic86]

So beautiful...words can't describe it.

[@chcjcc]

A beautiful fair well, no doubt about it. And beautifully done by Celtic Woman "I guess my heart just settled back to earth"

[@JayfeathersLover123]

Songs like this has real meaning. If we all listen to songs like this the world would not have greed or selfishness. The world world would only have love, peace and understanding. everyone out there, hear me out; love the world and be thankful for what we have been giving.

[@iams1635]

I need a reunion of these amazing women along Lynn, Alex and Hailey! They were the best!

[@nikkili]

My Mom and I first watched the Celtic Woman concert on PBS when I was 16. I'm 23 now and my Mom died at the end of August last year. This was her favorite album. I listen to this album, particularly this song, Danny Boy and You Lift Me Up and think of her. It's so very beautiful.

[@sunshineforce]

i have tears in my eyes. This is so beautiful . It's like your in heaven and listen to angels singing.Magic.

[@yurahmazing]

I received all the Celtic Woman albums recently, and I was nonchalantly running through the songs on their self-entitled CD - a couple different ones particularly sparked my interest - and I stumbled on this song ... and I had a sudden urge to cry.

[@jwmann52]

Wonderful! What beautiful and talented young people are these.

[@ketinunkantim]

What a team! Thank you for that, boy. Thank you. Beauty in three separeted dimensions, as a matter of fact... Uau...

[@kumag132]

Agree completely. Lisa is so beautiful, both to watch and to listen to.

[@LuthienofOssiriand]

I'd like to dedicate this comment to dear baby Owen, who went home a year ago today.

[@kirstymoss9810]

I'm so sorry my friend. May you find comfort some day

[@montanamari]

We have seen this amazingly talented group in concert more than once, and I can never get enough of them. So much talent, so much poise, so much joy in what they do. Just incredible!

[@CucciCadet]

I was at all 3 concerts in Chicago this month and this was one of the songs that stuck in my head. Mostly because I was singing my head off. Chloe, Lynn and Alex did an amazing job on this song, I am sure they will do so again when I see them in San Fran next month and hopefully Lisa will be there to make it more enjoyable!!

[@mollybolton8425]

That wasn't Lyn and Alex, twas Meav and Lisa

[@cdesouza9]

Awesome ! Superb !! They are like angels singing ! brought tears to me eyes and a lump in my throat !! God Bless you Celtic Women !!

[@ashtonbluerose]

so beautiful i cant stop feeling breathless each time i hear their mystical voices

[@Amazonwarrior777]

Ditto.. I was looking up Enya and stumbled across this. I have no idea how I haven't heard this before. Gosh, it's beautiful.

[@TheWestiekiwi]

I first heard this song some years ago.It is so beautifully made.Only recently have I had the privilege to listen to this video,It captures all that means so much to us.It is beautifully sung and the orchestral music in the background makes it a truly spiritual song.

[@bufnyguy]

Lisa... YES! The epitome of beauty... a sensational combination of sight and sound... Maev has the similar qualities but Lisa'a smile and ability to connect with her audience can't be matched...anywhere. You feel she's singing to you and you alone.

[@drex23100]

Simply stunning.The vocals and the orchestration are a perfect match. A ten.

[@nightwraithe84]

3:25 absolutely amazing! No matter which song it is, they always give me goosebumps :)

[@5thBlessings]

Wow this song is so heavenly. One of my favorite songs of Celtic Woman. Very Lovely. God bless

[@TheMadmoggy]

Kia Ora from Aeateroa (NZ) beautiful sigh! I love all their songs, simply beautiful. I really have to find their cd/dvd. Its so touching, their voices go right through you. Makes me feel so emotional. If they come here, I would love to see them, it would be a real privelege.

[@sjanaskie5]

The harmonies in their songs are simply amazing and the chorus in the back ground have awesome chords as well

[@pjchingford]

this is absolutely beautiful

[@Earth_Mother]

Their voices blend together so beautifully. Sublime...

[@bananzabob]

i got chills....oooh that was fantastic! Bien! Bienisimo!

[@bverlylewis1208]

I love this song and this beautifully talented group of musicians. They simply cannot be duplicated. ❤☘🎵❤

[@paramorechick18]

good lord. i love Lisa's voice! she's my favorite out of all the ladies they've had in Celtic Woman. i could listen to her all day. i still love all the other girls but Lisa is my all time favorite.

[@oscarz90]

absolutely stunning

[@trogersjoe]

My love of five years died in 2006. We both fell in love with Celtic Woman, and this song was our favorite. Now I cry thinking of him when I hear this song. But indeed, he awaits just beyond the brightest star from me.

[@pollywolly72]

Lovely, Glad to see that some ppl still express their relegious beleives through song, this group does it really well.

[@bookofsnow]

tears..........gushing... such a powerful song

[@horsecrazy11]

I have fallen in love with all of their songs. All of them have angelic voices! Amazing!

[@unholyd]

Word can't Explain this Song...Just Wondeful

[@BakBro1945]

like angels they sing. perfectly hitting every note the way they r supposed to

[@CelticFan12011]

Beautiful. Thanks ladies.

[@MsJennabooh]

Focus on the small things in life, for life may be gone tomorrow . Rejoice in life like it was your last day . Listen to music and let it make you thank god that your ears could hear. When someone comes along like this im so glad that for a moment it drowns out all the negativity .

[@Deanoritz]

What a beautiful song and so beautifully sung.

[@littlewolf_92]

i cried, cuz me and my friends sang this at the Talent Show for one of our teachers that has helped us through all our stupid little fights, and whenever we needed someone to talk to, he was always listening.

[@Fangsthevampire]

I agree. I wWISH I could sing with such beauty and grace like they do.

[@singingviolinist13]

awesome song! makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! Love it!!!

[@Analiketika411]

this can also be used as a lullaby... i have never heard anything so absolutely-positively-no-doubt-about-it beautiful! their harmonious voices create a melancholy melody that will have anyone, even a music-hater wanting to listen to it again i just love the part when the drums join in and the music swells... it's so beautiful and dramatic my fav song! ;'3

[@elfiyero]

i went to their concert recently and that was the first time that i heard this song, and i absolutely love it!

[@GhileMear250]

This song just grabs hold of my heart. Thank you ladies.

[@sombrerorojosombrerorojoo4255]

Her voice drives me into great emotion! One epic journey in the highlands.

[@txlilbits]

@ddthienvuong: Chloe was only around 15 years old when she performed this. She was pretty then, she is beautiful now. Her voice is that of an angel's on earth. I would give anything to have her talent, and just to see Celtic Woman in concert once. :). I think she is PERFECT !!

[@jasonm1230]

well, what to say, such a breath taking performance, they blend so beautifully that everytime i listen to it, it makes me want to remember all the great times i have had in life, such a beautiful song!! BRAVO!!!!

[@estelio16]

This is my favourite song. Ever. Of all time. Gods all bless these ladies.

[@Angeleoclan]

This must how angels sound when they sing. Heavenly voices no doubt. Amazingly wonderful!

[@StefanFriedrich1979]

Simply the best version of this song that have ever existed.

[@kayleemae100]

breath taking, chills!

[@KeithHorton1]

Such beautiful music

[@soccerislife50]

This song right here I have asked my parents to play when my time comes soon. I love these women and the songs they produce :)
