[@stormeia4889]

Absolutely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@insyirahfarzana1774]

her songs always makes me want to go on an adventure, dance and splash the river water, go wild in nature

[@margaritam.9118]

It's four o'clock in the morning where I live, I'm in my pyjamas and I still want to go on an adventure right now :D

[@insyirahfarzana1774]

Greta M. Oooh!! XDD omg

[@ivanapopov1773]

[@papyfred7817]

For myself, it made me starting learning Scottish Gaelic. 2 Weeks I'm On with this site : www.learngaelic.net/lg-beginners/index.jsp

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

then do it its not like it's difficult to do ...

[@civilsavage6337]

Thank you Julie Fowlis for keeping the flame alive❤

[@Rianbowlikeicare]

[@tommasobaresi736]

Im 24 and Im fond of this kind of music! Glad to know Im not the only one! =)

[@RaduB.]

Well, I'm 46 and not only that I like her music but I also get an itch to learn Gaelic :-)

[@patrickf7104]

Rainbow Vlogs 17, absolutely looove it. Pure class😎

[@jonesjack310]

why shame? I'm Chinese Don't quite understand the lyrics

[@turbostoep]

Shame because most kids learn only a few types of music . One being hip-hop usually , singing about drugs / bling bling and treating other people like objects , which is somehow normal now .

[@abedalrazaqalrababah8778]

God bless the Scottish people. Good-hearted people. They know how to smile, how to look good and how to deal with people. :) I miss Scotland.

[@ferrarigirl666]

Abedalrazaq Alrababah i agree, i talked to scottisch folks on my road trip, they are so proud of how they are! Gentle, polite, respectfull, helping, and in love with their own country! The ultimate love

[@angelamcclelland7498]

I'm Scottish, thank you to you both! It means a lot when people compliment our wee country and us! Haste ye back, which means come back soon, we'll welcome you :)

[@grimmfandango832]

I wish we could indie, I love you all, but relf rule is best

[@robertwinstanley556]

She's fantastic, saw her at the Lowry in Manchester a number of years ago, and was blown away.

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

This is very impressive because it is very difficult to sing, staccato and breathing right etc. 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@alieyuldasheva]

This incredible creature comes on stage and makes pure magic!

[@simonvisser0]

Can't help but tap my feet to this song.

[@Got2Train]

I've been listening to the musicians with her singing for a few years now and no matter what mood I am in the tears flow from me as though I just found a treasure to share with every musician in Scotland. To dig a little deeper into to this emotional side in me I have immersed myself into learning Scottish Gaelic and it has been oddly soothing and calming to learn. I was adopted at birth, so I may have to do a little research.....

[@richgouette]

It's been many months since I've listened to this one.. and once again, at the 3:00 mark..something happens and I tear up.. Don't even know the english translation to know what it's about ...arrgh can't explain why this happens.. but it makes me happy in my soul

[@adventureswithaurora]

@@richgouette I love it too. It's lovely music; it really is. 💛

[@daomingjin]

@@richgouette the music changes keys to a different harmonic octave

[@anthonysirabella6410]

Something about her eyes. It's like her whole soul is right there.

[@beverleywolmarans4091]

My introduction to Scottish Gaelic! Sounds amazing as lyrics to the music.

[@jeremysmith54565]

Is actually spelt Gáidhlig thus lacks the e changing the sound of the a making it pronounced Ga-lic, unlike Irish or Manx where the e exists.

[@jeremysmith54565]

Also plaid's (drives me nuts this) is the Gaelic word for cloth not actually anything to do with a pattern, that's called tartan, didn't exist until Victoria's reign with her romanticism of Scotland as it was Albert who bought her the Balmoral estate.

[@adventureswithaurora]

@@jeremysmith54565 Agreed!

[@richgouette]

Saw her in Oct of last year(took along my infatuated 13 y/o daughter) ...absolutely wonderful...no words for how much she's done for the world of celtic music.. Started my musical journey with ....KISS...saw them live in 1979 Portland, Maine next got into Christian artists from 80's(Petra, Mik W Smith etc) Next evolution came in circa 1996 +/- when I heard IONA...(the Irish one) blew me away Then came Riverdance via a VHS tape, with Brian O'Brien playing Uilleann pipes, and my life changed from there.. I now say without hesitation, that Celtic music(Scotland/Ireland...) is what I would listen to if I had to choose 1 genre... without question.

[@fasttrain3]

Wow, wow , wow,....so lovely.

[@paulpayton8238]

Love Celtic connections 👌 well done Julie God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@biot7175]

1:36 - 1:42 She tries to hold back a smile but can't restrain it. So adorable!!!

[@adventureswithaurora]

I don't know how exactly to explain it, but 1:27 is my favorite part. There's something about the natural beat the guitar makes and Fowlis's singing that just...really pops.

[@dhristov8327]

I like Julie Fowlies!

[@saroyafanniel8932]

Totally awesome music!! This is one part of the root of 'Black' American Traditional music! African slaves and Irish indentured servants cohabited in the same space. They came together to make music after a long day of toil. Irish Step and African Dance became Tap Dance. The two forms of music: the African Banjo, djembe drum and call/response vocals mixed with the Irish violin, vocal trills and runs to make an amazing musical amalgam. It's wonderful to get an infusion of the original Irish music aspect. Sláinte Mhaith!!!

[@marconatrix]

Well this is Scottish, but Ireland has similar traditions. They call it 'lilting', we call it 'mouth music'.

[@brucecollins4729]

a few years back an african american authority on gospel music came to scotland to learn more about the history of gospel. scots missionaries took it to africa. if you watch the film zulu you will see a fine example where the zulu warrier leads in then the rest follow. you wiil find that in the highlands of scotland still to this day.theres also scottish stepdancing originating in the hebridean isles of scotland lost to scotland but kept alive in canada. and for bluegrass that came from scotland fiddles when scots highlanders were fightin in america against the spanish before the usa was born. this is scottish music and song.

[@AllenBarclayAllen]

Julie come to Inverness Florida please !

[@paulpayton8238]

Hi Julie i can't speek galic but you alwas sound lovely Paul payton Birmingham England ❤☺ xx

[@richgouette]

ok seriously.. I'm at work, doing some programming, and even though I've heard this tune dozens of times, it gets to 3:00 , I tear up, and have to turn the volume waaay up

[@richgouette]

ok, it happened yet again just like that.. 3:00...eyes get all watery & I have to turn it up, kick the chair back & look out the window, and hope no one walks into the office.. I think it's a combination of things for me: one of which I believe is hearing the Scottish language sung so, evokes a feeling of deep tradition not lost.. I dunno..I just love it to pieces. strange that this should occur on a fast lively tune...and not the slower emotional ..

[@cjthedj1969]

Yup bang on 3 mins and I'm not even Scottish. She's on another level, absolutely incredible. One very talented lady .

Lo voy a escribir en español porque es mi primera lengua, no estoy cerca de Escocia, no viví su historia, nunca fui y sin embargo, solamente escuchar how n' Gàidhlig sounds me llevó a aprenderlo (desde el inglés, bueno) porque algo de esa tierra, está música, esa historia, inexplicablemente toman la autopista al alma (?) y me hacen bien.

Julie fowlis

[@shelbrowder7713]

This is Puirt a beul, or mouth music. It was originally sung unaccompanied for dances where no instrument was available. It is a trio of songs and all that I’ve are nonsense songs similar to Ol’ Dan Tucker in their meaning-none. Each song is faster than the one before.

[@deusexaethera]

Who was the genius running the mixer board who decided the instruments should be louder than her voice?

[@ps200306]

It's designed to build from near inaudibility to having the voice dominate toward the end. It's an interesting approach. This type of mouth music was invented for people too poor to own instruments, so the rhythmic voice was the only accompaniment to a dance. You're not intended to listen to lyrics, just the rhythm. Look how the audience responds at the end.

[@therealmonkee]

I dont know what the fuck the lyrics mean bit i love tis song

[@splehcar]

Eamon, the guy on Julie's right, playing the bouzouki, is her husband.

[@jeremysmith54565]

If you mean you dont understand the language its called Gaelic (more a family of [largely] 3 variations) Scots (Gáidhlig), Irish (Gaeilge) and then there's Manx (or Middle Irish Gaelg).

[@inactive3651]

I got so far through singing this but nope the third part is WAY TOO FAST! You must do a serious amount of breathing exercises Julie

[@meowmocha12]

That last bit SOUNDS hard. I'm terrified to actually try singing something that fast.

[@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai]

Practice makes perfect.

[@leahcrawford12345]

3:00

[@ballisticus1]

Anyone know how Duncan's fiddle is tuned for this piece? Is it GDAE? I can't reproduce any of his tones

[@thwt1974]

I've been thinking that for a while. It seems he tunes it half a note higher whenever he plays with Julie (=> G#, D#, A#, E#). Eamon Doorley plays his Bouzouki with a capo on the 6th fret (=> C#, G#, D#, A# if he uses standard tuning, which he probably doesn't), so that would go together.

[@inactive3651]

hussam 2271982 I’ve seen you comment this on literally every video with Julie in lol x

[@marconatrix]

The words don't really make much sense, they're just chosen for their sound. The idea was to provide 'music' for dancing when there were no instruments available.

[@hussam2271982]

Thanks for the response I wanted to know what is said in the song because its language is strange for the first time I hear such a language

[@marconatrix]

If you scroll down two or three comments below to *Patrick Farrelly*, and open up his comment, he has the words with translation. But I warn you, I can read this language but it's very hard to follow the singing, it all goes so fast :-) For more examples of this type of singing, type "purt a beul" into the KZbin search box. It actually sounds better IMO without accompaniment, or with just percussion, or with two singers singing against one another :-)
