Karen's one of the few singers that brings a lump to my throat every times she sings.

[@JamesN.Gillan]

Celtic music performed at the very highest of musical standards, thank you Karen for all the years of pleasure you've brought to me and music lovers everywhere. I see some rappers have visited, maybe when they're in need of being truly uplifted they will return and let real folk music enter their souls.

[@SazardO]

I don’t get a thing, but in the same time I feel like I understand every single word. Every time she sings I feel the fresh air of Highland and hear the sound of the sea. Born in Russia, living in China and dreaming about my true home, my sole home ❤️

[@richardedwardwurst]

Living on the west coast of America, Karen is my hear, my connection, to the past, to my self, of old, thank you CaperCailie for what you do, for nobody does it better, you are the soul of Gaelic today. Love you forever. Richard a MacKai

The singer and all the musicians here have done a wonderful presentation. What a harmony! Folk music has its real, full and deep emotion inside. Even though I don't know a word of the song, I got tears to my eyes and listened to it again and again.

[@thegreatselkie6009]

I adore Karen! 💙💙💙

Extraordinaire ! Quel enchantement, quel émotion dans cette voix de Karen Matheson. Et le gaélique, dans sa bouche, devient une langue tellement vivante.

いつ聴いても何度聴いても素晴らしい、年とともに彼女のささやく吐息が溜まらない。

[@pfeifferpack]

Brilliant.

[@stifyn]

Yes Alan Stivell is Breton and Breton is a sister language to Welsh and Cornish which are Brythonic (P -Celitc) languages. Irish and Scots Gaelic and Manx belong to the Goideilic (Q-Celtic) branch.

[@jesus4evaable]

[@IRISHVERO]

Haunting...definitlely......

[@orbpupil]

Alot of deep conversation in these comments.I must say this woman has a beautiful voice and that's all matters to me.

[@kidsmusicscotland]

I`m told the "Alpha Scot", Sean Connery, said Karen Matheson; "Has a throat touched by God." No argument from the likes of me. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[@steaphris]

Elle est belle.

[@everheart66]

Hi nnekase, I know exactly what you mean... same here! shivering nerves, trembling heart, goes right to the marrow of my bones! Did you hear oran dhomnaill Phadraig from Kathleen MacInnes (here on youtube)? Celtic Spirit for ever! (I'm from Holland)

[@kaybell9778]

I don't understand one of my own language s because I have an awful lot of brain damage, but I love hearing it. It is so lovely.vmind you I don't mind at all speaking 'english' although I don't think it should be called English it should be called British because all four nations developed it.

[@kidsmusicscotland]

I didn`t come up with the nickname, although I think he was born in Glasgow. (It`s "Eiffel", by the way...)

[@hibirapita]

La musica country irlandesa es una de las mas bellas del mundo;solamente que parecen todas iguales sobre todo las voces femeninas. One of the most beautiful kind of music arround the world but they all seem a copy one another.specially femmale voices.

[@IBM59]

I'm sure you didn't but Shhhir Shhhean Canary was born in Edinburgh . Re Eiffel , it's late in the day but I'm sure you understtod where I was coming from.

[@animalunaris]

Tapadh leibh/ Go raibh maith agat!

[@kidsmusicscotland]

Right you are Brian but last time I was there Edinburgh was in Scotland....Nonetheless, I take your point and, assuming you`re posting this from Scotland it`s late in the day indeed, as in 3:35AM and I did indeed "understtod" ("understtnd"?) where you`re coming from... No offense. Cheers, Pete Huey

[@thestrangepasenger]

I want die , i want cry i want to got her , i got to get it , to bw a successfull musician in scotchland

O Iain Ghlinn' Cuaich Fear do choltais cha dual da fàs Cùl bachlach nan dual 'S e gu camlubach suas gu bhàrr 'S i do phearsa dheas ghrinn A dh'fhàg mi cho tinn le gràdh 'S nach 'eil cron ort ri inns' O mhullach do chinn gu d'sàil

[@everheart66]

That's a very shallow answer to a very deeply felt resonance. I'm not fond of American music but I'm crazy with Celtic music, the same goes for many people all over Europe. Fact is that many of us have Celtic ancestors from pre-roman times, Celts were living from my country Holland, WALlonia (Belgium), WALes, down GALlia (france), GAlicia (spain), portuGAL, up to WALlis (Austria), GALicia (poland, belorussia), down to WALachia (rumania).Even in turkey, hence the footbalclub GALataserai...

[@steaphris]

Ok. But this singer is singing in the language of Escocia. So, I think you mean La musica country Escoces here!

[@IBM59]

"Alpha Scot" Shhhean Canary , my arse. He's about as Scottish as the Eifel tower.

[@PaulsRun1957]

There is no major difference between irish and scottish they are the same people

[@NorthLimitation]

es escocia, no es iralndesa. God, my Spanish is crap 0_0

[@IBM59]

None taken , Pete. Good pickin'.

[@hibirapita]

Don't worry !!! I understood,my inglish isn't better than your spanish; sorry ! some of us don't understand the difference between both ,irish music 'nd scottish one , because the woole brithish land is maravellous,including Scottland and Ireland, and theirs traditional music, God Blessyou!!!

[@NoName-qr5jg]

It's not a woman, it's a tune but a living tune however

[@buttonpuncher]

Hibirapita, Toma en cuenta q' durante de los siglos que los Arabes controlaban casi todo Espana, el llamado al-Andalus, los Celticos persiguieron indomitables en la zona hacia el norte de las sierras. Disculpa q' mi Castellano es del Peru, y no de la Espana. Te sugereria q' buscas "Bereguetto" en este mismo sitio.

[@Alex-yu3wg]

Some Muthas in the Hood, de no like, singing song.huh
