Karliene - Ailein Duinn

[@anjelica948]

I can’t speak Gaelic, but I hear the singing, the voice, the vibrations across air, sea, and time, and I Feel everything. I can’t explain it. But it’s beautiful in all the ways poetry only begins to describe.

[@kozchaotic6115]

I ought to stop listening to your songs at 2AM so I won't be going to bed feeling weepy. Because seriously, that voice. Is just touching. Straight down to the soul.

[@Karliene]

You're so lovely, i'm so touched you're enjoying my music so much. Do go to bed though and I promise I'll make you some more. x

[@Schnuudfus]

I fell for your Songs so much that i instantly introduced them to my Dad and now we listen to all of them every day :) thx Karliene u are already a Celebrity in Vienna Austria by now :D

[@chriscallen]

you are amazing ...im of.Irish descent living in Jamaica ..my father rest his soul was a seafarer amd.my mother used to wait on him when he went to sea ......i think of them when I hear this song ....

[@MrSandy170]

My grandmother sang this to me when I was a wee boy brings a tear to my eye to hear it again

[@edenmckinley3472]

This song is incredible. I've never heard it before, but like all Gaelic songs, it fits a special place in my heart. Thank you for lending your voice and talent to such an incredible language.

[@raytrusty8618]

I went to a Capercaillie concert one night, and the female vocalist sang this for me....(Because i was yelling in between songs for it) Now i would say this to you again Karliene....only you could upstage that performance. You see that strange little impediment/accent in your voice that conveys a human being is singing. Its particularly evident in the Skye boat song......never lose that in the name of perfection....X

[@vickystanley8853]

This is the most ethereal and haunting rendition of this beautiful lament I've ever heard.

[@ARC9652]

My God.. I'm literally in tears from this. I seriously need to learn Scottish Gaelic.

[@jamesward-parrish2309]

Please do more in Gaelic 😭 this melts my heart

[@HarperArrow]

This months, two Lithuanian pilots disappeared in the Baltic sea. I somehow feel as if this song could be a ballad for them. As if they would know their families are waiting for them to come back. Thank you Karliene, for putting feelings you cannot explain with words into your songs...You truly are a miracle :)

[@ruth540]

It is a song about the loss of a loved one, so I can understand why you could relate it to this. I believe a women (forgot her name) wrote this after her fiancé drowned after the fishing boat he was on sank due to a storm. She then took her own life by jumping into the sea due to her depression. I can't say that the story is true, but it's what my nan told me the song was about as I grew up with her singing these songs to me.

[@CaptainCaliansAdventures]

@@ruth540 You are correct! Her fiance was sailing to go marry her, but his crew came across a storm and they all drowned. She composed this song as a lament before throwing herself into the sea a few months after and her body was found ashore alongside her fiance's body.

[@littledikkins2]

@@CaptainCaliansAdventures Then they were again together. In my favorite version of Loch Lomond, they meet again ''In the sky o'er Loch Lomond''.

[@Syntella]

To me any music that ignites passion is good, and this song definitely does that. ( passion can range in all spectrums of feelings) I love this song just because of how moving it is. 😌

[@EmberScribe]

Only a minute in listening to this and I already feel like I'm going to cry. There are only a few songs that get to me like this and this one made the list. Awesome job on this!

[@ninavale.]

awww I love this song! It's so sad and the story is so beautiful. I've heard it and the words are so beautiful too. Native languages of Scottland and Ireland are magical and it makes it all so sad...and I remember this song from Rob Roy too..aww so many feels.

[@deathpunish2]

This is one of my favorite Scottish songs!

[@franciscorodriguez7321]

I HAVE TEARS ON MY EYES. SCOTLAND AND IRELAND FASCINASTE ME EVEN THOUGH I AM FROM SPAIN. CANT WAIT TO GO THERE.

So haunting. So sad. So beautiful. The track ended, and I looked up, entirely confused as to my surroundings. You transported me to another place. Just more proof that you are magic.

[@georgialegrand-carney6707]

I'm a writer and I love listening to your music, because whenever I have a difficult time imagining something, I just listen to your voice and something amazing appears in my head. Thank you so much for posting all your music!

[@thatonecooktone]

Hi, I hope its not to much to ask but could you possibly do a cover of 'mordred's lullaby'? I think it would be amazing with your voice.

[@TimeandMonotony]

Oooh I could not agree more!

Yes please!

[@kateaerona1498]

[@golddustedqueen1498]

[@conniewinchester1014]

Oh please cover it!

[@J_Rossi]

My last name may be Italian but my blood (majority), my eyes and my heart are Irish. The last two are weeping for this. I don't speak Scots Gaelic but the beauty of this is beyond my power of words to express. All I can say, Karliene, is "Thank you."

[@elkealbust8801]

i love this song. i remember when I listened to it the very first time in the movie Rob Roy. i replayed the scene over and over again to hear it again.

[@Eponagirl0810]

Karliene, Your exquisite music helps me to listen with both joy and sadness, to mourn my lost love,, and to seek healing through this loss, never forgetting.

[@Tofiam]

That's the first time someone explained me this song. And honestly, I got goose bumps.

[@FrJacobSJ]

Now how did I not listen to this song before?!?! Thank you for sharing your gift and making the world a bit more beautiful than it was about seven minutes ago. :-)

[@pfeifferpack]

Haunting and beautiful.

[@AshleySerena]

How bone-chilling, I adore how you represent mourning lover and sea siren in one. This is so beautiful, Karliene!

thank you for keeping this song in it's original language, i've always hated how music sounds when it is translated

More music in Gaelic please! I've learned a little a few years ago and I'm hoping to pick it up again. PS I just discovered you two days ago and I can't stop listening to your music! I've bought two of your albums and 2 albums so far.... I really don't have the $ right now, but then I just heard this song and I think I might have to make an exception

[@michalschnek8745]

Wow, and just wow! This is by far the best version of Ailein Duinn I've heard and I've heard lot of them ever since I first found out about it when Blizzard used its heavily edited version in Warcraft 3 (it's called Night Elf Loss in the game's music files). Since then its probably my favourite Scottish song :)Thanks for making it even more beautiful.

[@ItsMelliB]

First when I heard this song, I thought of Katethegreat19's or Erutan's "Winter Moon." I still think you and ***** should do a duet. I think it's just the arrangement in the beginning, but your vocals are so pure here. This is absolutely beautiful!

This is really beautiful and it's such a lovely song. Your voice is just enchanting and carries just the right amount of melancholy for this song. Amazing work!

[@IrishChick429]

Such a beautiful yet haunting song.

[@nicolescutismaneanu9087]

Beautiful song! I love the Irish Gaelic laments. I wonder though, basic grammar question I'm sure, why the 'bh' in 'bhì' is pronounced here during the refrain, but in a lot of Irish Gaelic words, it's silent, such as the verb 'bhfuil' is pronounced without the 'bh'. This is a legit question, especially because I find all aspects of the Irish/Scots/Welsh language to be beautiful, and I seek to expand my understanding of such treasures.

[@veliadnan1521]

i can't help listening all song in here greetings from Turkey

[@Raevnard]

Thank God there isn't...Gàidhlig is perfect

[@orlandobotney1359]

djiDKUS Since I'm American, I was just trying to save my ass instead of saying something I don't know to be true. Thanks for the clarification! When you say Gaidhlig, is that to references of Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, or a general term for Gaelic in general? I know there are regional differences in how the word is said according to dialect, so that's why i ask

[@catharinaaberg4499]
