Loreena McKennitt- The Dark Night of the Soul

[@paulvincent3825]

Heaven is calling. And I’m listening in 2024. 😍😍😍

[@gloriabrockman8205]

To find true love and lose that love is to wear widow’s weeds forever. I shall move in the wind until we meet again.

Danke für diesen mystischen zauberhaften Song !!! Fantastische Stimme - unglaublich schöne Bilder - exzellente iinstrumentale Begleitung ! Einfach zum Träumen !!! Ein Seelentröster !

[@marianamaus522]

I love this poem of Saint John of the Cross! But the music and the voice of Loreena McKennitt make it such a delight! I listen to this song every time I am feeling overwhelmed and it always helps me feel better afterwards. Thank you for this gift!

[@jcoop49]

@marianamaus,thank you for explaining where this poem came from, I read up on it ,he John of St Matthias adopted the name when he entered the Carmelite Order,the poem narrates the journey of the soul from its bodily home to the union with God and represents the hardships and difficulties of life that we all have to go through. No wonder it makes me cry when I hear Loreena McKennitt singing her version of this poem.

[@defender399]

St. John of The Cross. My favourite Roman Catholic saint. I’m NOT RC. His story, his struggle, in the RC church and in his faith is inspiring. Imprisoned by his own order for his faith beliefs. That right there, holding on to his faith in the face of persecution from his own, that is the mark of a true Saint. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Don't think we should be Ranking Them, they're both Exceptional and providing us with INCREDIBLE Compositions that Inspire us. Seems that you're 'Criticizing' by suggesting ENYA is superior? WHY mention her in this way? LOREENA is a musical Leader striving to enhance our World; believe that she deserves Respect on her work. It just doesn't SEEM FAIR to knock such inspirational Artists in an effort to bring attention to another. Any Thoughts? Curious....

Loreena's voice pulls you into her story. You are hypnotized and find yourself emersed in her words, drifting on the notes of her beautiful voice.

[@marysinclair2468]

She is magic.

[@robertsmith5257]

I see a lot of comments about who initially wrote the words. A lot of comments about Loreena's style and voice ( I agree with you.... absolutely beautiful!) But I am not sure any of you whose comments have understood what it means to actually face your own "dark night of the soul". My wife of 35 years died in 2007, coming up on 13 years now. I was in a bad limbo for several years. Then I had to decide, on my own dark night of the soul, would I live in the past, or let go and choose the future. Lots of challenges in the future, but I am still here and I have a new love. The past is past. Memories are one thing, life is another. Have to make a choice. I chose life.

[@melodicminor1]

Dear Robert, I know exactly what you are talking about. I lost my soulmate 5 1/2 years ago, and for quite a while, the world went on without me. There comes a point where you realise you are still part of life and you still have a purpose, and only when you decide to embrace that, will you see it unfold. All the best to you!

[@Kentusana]

Thank you my friend. Kent

Upon a darkened night The flame of love was burning in my breast And by a lantern bright I fled my house while all in quiet rest Shrouded by the night And by the secret stair I quickly fled The veil concealed my eyes While all within lay quiet as the dead Oh night thou was my guide Of night more loving than the rising sun Oh night that joined the lover To the beloved one Transforming each of them into the other Upon that misty night In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight Without a guide or light Than that which burned so deeply in my heart That fire t'was led me on And shone more bright than of the midday sun To where he waited still It was a place where no one else could come Oh night thou was my guide Of night more loving than the rising sun Oh night that joined…

[@mauricekiely6703]

Loreena has changed the words of Saint John of the Cross's poem to remove a reference to all souls being feminine to God, males also. The original uses "her Beloved" when referring to St. John's love for God. But...apart from that one quibble, Loreena is absolutely fantastic. I think even Jesus Christ himself must be one of her biggest fans.

[@savgousti0]

@@vrindavanam741 (continuation of the verses) ... it was a place where no one else could come Within my pounding heart Which kept itself entirely for him He fell into his sleep Beneath the cedars all my love I gave From o'er the fortress walls The wind would brush his hair against his brow And with its smoothest hand Caressed my every sense it would allow Oh night thou was my guide Oh night more bright than the rising sun Oh night who joined the lover to the beloved one transformimg each of them into the other I lost myself to him and laid my face upon my lover's breast and care and grief grew dim as in the morning mist became the light There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair there they dimmed amongst the lilies fair there they dimmed amongst the lilies fair

McKennitt mentions this in the liner notes, but thanks for the info, most folks dont know this.

[@jeannettejohnson2375]

How I became aware of L.M. I watched a documentary on BBC of her going to different countries in search of these manuscripts and setting them to music. I think it was in the late 90's I've often wondered why it was never shown again. I feel fortunate to have seen it at all. I would have crossed path with her regardless as Art Bell later became a huge fan of her. I was jealous when he bragged about going to see her in concert...

In September on the 25th 2011 I had a heart attack. I was out of danger on the 26th of that year, so you might say this has a special meaning to me as that was my "Dark Night of the Soul" .
