The lady of Shalott - Loreena McKennitt (Live San Francisco)

[@yveeliza]

Loreena's voice reaches into the soul and many of her songs never fail to make me cry. Ethereal, mystical, lyrical and timeless! The Lady of Shalott has inspired beautiful paintings too.

Excellent

[@safarygirl]

Very Good is a steep understatement.

[@MitsukiOkami]

oh my god...I must listened at the song a few minutes ago... I wanted to hear it again... then I read the text... thought 'wow...' then listened to it again and started to cry when Loreena McKennitt started to sing... first the music.. the this voice.. just amazing... her voice can touch every heart... when I thought 'ok stop crying' (while only the music played) I tried to calm down...and cried again as she started to sing again... it's touching....

[@sufiest666]

Toca el corazón semejante interpretación. Loreena la mejor. Escucharla te llena de paz. Saludos desde Argentina

[@ARISTOCA8T]

wow this music is so soul searching, and beutifull and mystical, love this song, great job.

[@xLoLRaven]

I.....actually shed a few tears, its not often you hear such a pure sounding song that can touch your heart, especially nowadays.

[@rumenige]

Una voz que te eleva y te desarma. 8 minutos y pico asombrosos. Tuve la suerte de verla en directo en Santiago de Compostela hace poco. Felicidades por el video.

A dream of a perfect world where everyone was nice, and had manners, eagerly willing to pay the ultimate price, for love, when all was simple, and truth was all was spoken, before Innocence was broken.

Muy lindas las palabras q escribiste eowynprincsold! Yo creo q todas las mujeres debemos sentirnos en cierto momento de nuestras vidas identificadas con esta Lady of Shalott. Se trata de liberarse de los mandatos sociales y querer soñar con una vida llena de magia, como la que transcurre en Camelot, y ser capaz hasta de dar la vida por ese sueño.

[@zupflhupfl]

Simply wonderful ...

[@ketinunkantim]

Friend, I'll tell you what I intended to tell to the fellow right above you: You need to spend time to see detais ... and on the details, your trip goes to Loreena's soul. This is a master piece of art, and as such, must be watched several times and longer ... we, people as myself, would never be able to to such a ... perfection.

[@ketinunkantim]

Uau. Sad, but fantastic, as all the comments I've read. Fantastic, incredible, it took me to Loreena's soul, as I said to two guys on the road.

[@mariaperezpitti7643]

I love this song...I read a novel titled 'Reflects from Shalott", by the spanish writer Gemma Bonnin.Pershaps she listened it.

[@KARANT47]

A very nice song, very nice and very sad. I like it so much.

[@DeniseInChains]

[@feargal75]

[@perrinmariepierre464]

waooh quelle superbe voix d'ange magnifique ! j'adore

[@DeeSLush]

I love this song when it's played live :) The music is so... perrrrty hehe

[@Zardoz4441]

When the wise wizard Myrdinn after countless centuries finally will be released from his prison illusion, created by the Lady Viviane, and sails forth to holy Albion, the Age of Magic will start again and Man will learn how to listen (and talk) to the trees, birds, plants, horses, stones. In the moonlight harmony will resonate in all living things.

[@lissy2802]

Thx for this version!!

[@Dreamchain17]

She's under a curse. She sits in her room weaving with her back to the window, and is only able to view the outside world through a mirror. When she sees/hears Lancelot, she turns around, and the curse hits her, so she gets in a boat to make her final journey and she dies before she reaches Camelot. I think it's probably a metaphor for watching the world instead of experiencing it, but an English major would probably tell you 50 different things.

[@Mia072298]

ロリーナマケニットのシーディー１枚持っています…。セリーヌディオンのシーディーは２枚持ってるよ。マドンナのは１枚かな。あとマイケルジャクソンのも１枚持ってるよ…。

[@Criticalmis]

Reading these comments makes me wonder if anyone knows a good singing of "La Belle Dame Sanse Mercie"?

[@yanksfan13023]

eh had to do this for school sucksssss

[@yoshicat123]

She had a curse that she couldn't look onto camelot but she did 'cause she saw the man she fell in love with - sir lancelot - then the curse came upon her.

[@TheLueii]

Thumbs up if you like Annes reanactment of this scene!

[@maryjanebrant]

And I shall go there upon a day and I shall find my way there and on the horizon would the Lady greet me with wine and cheese and ready for taste a peppery shallots. She is the sky and I don't know why I am the moon the moon the glorious luminous sensuous moon.

[@torrentXofXdarkness]

I swear she sings better in live than studio

[@petervankan1]

I'll brighten your day: it didn't really happen.

[@GonnaRideForever]

its too hurried, she needs to slow down. i know its long but it sound way to fast

[@CatLegoDiver]

it's a bit faster tempo than the studio recording (about 3 minutes shorter), so yes, I agree. :-) It's nice that she picked this longer version for a live performance; normally the song is shortened significantly, coming in at about 5 minutes. I'm fortunate enough to have been to about 12 of Loreena's live performances and only once did I see her do the full, 11-minute version, in 1992, about a year after the album came out.

[@Criticalmis]

@Dreamchain17 No, yiour pretty ;uch sot on, acoing to my English 101. And the lilies symbolize both virginity and death.

[@ketinunkantim]

My friend... you need to spent time to see details... you kiss too quicky.... The video takes is to Loreena's soul.
