We have lost our way, we have forgotten our heritage, our culture, our beliefs. This is why we are so lost. We have lost our roots. Come back to them, our ancestors, our lands, come back to where we belong. I am proud that I have reconnected to my heritage. Celtic and Norse.

Lyrics written by an Englishman ( Anglo Saxon, Germanic )

[@Thekoryosmenstribepodcast]

@@con3594 And your point? It's still a celtic voice singing it. Plus I'm also Anglo Saxon and germanic-scandanavian. Almost all of Anglo Saxon and celtic come from germanic tribes. So that didn't really disprove or shoot down anything.

[@caribstu]

Thank you for recording this. It's so hard to find Scots versions, as most are Irish. My Grandmother was from Balloch and always sung this to us as kids. After she had a stroke she was bed ridden for three years and couldn't speak. But i would whisper the first line in her ear and she could sing the whole song right through. She died in 1994. Now it's 2022 and I'm looking after Mum who has late stage Alzheimer's. I've driven her up to Scotland and Loch Lomond three times in the last 12 months, and it's such a very special place. Playing this song to Mum, and seeing her sing along brings tears to my eyes. Chokes me up. Thank you for your beautiful rendition.

Ella - you and your "gift" have returned us to our roots at a time when the planet is screaming for help & society is scrambling. Your voice is ethereal ... you are in a genre that touches the deepest part of us. Don't ever stop. I hope you release albums ... do movie soundtracks ... and give millions of people the gift of peace ... the kind of peace of "sitting in a cozy croft by a fire" like our ancestors did ... knowing we are all part of the bigger picture.

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, You'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
