Loreena McKennitt - Wild Mountain Thyme (Interview)

[@LavenderApogee]

How exciting to have new music from Loreena!

[@lauriegani8136]

I’ve been listening to her music for 30 years. My children were raised with it. My eldest son took me to her live in concert in Dec. (‘23) and it was Absolutely fabulous .

[@Slickster52]

I love your message. Much like the land, and indeed our very lives, music has been commoditized and capitalized, leaving our souls hollowed out and devoid of its magical quality to bind us together as one. Music is the language of togetherness. It is the language of wholeness.

[@darkvelvetheart]

Lovely, Ms. Loreena Mckennitt!! You have been such an inspiration to me for over twenty years! Thank you for your beautiful music 😊❤

[@stargirl7646]

Yes! This is why I love folk music so much!

[@mtnhorn2619]

I am a retired public music educator, having taught K-12. In my elementary classes, I embraced and taught folk songs, and sent my students home to sing (and sometimes play) for their family and friends. None of the joy of music and music-making was lost on them, and to this day, I continue to hear back from many of my students with notes (no pun intended) of appreciation how there lives have been enlarged because of the music they had learned. I have sent my students into the world with the tools of making music for themselves, and others. This joy is not lost, the "embers" just need a little fanning of inspiration. Dear Ms. McKenna, you have been, and continue to be, an inspiration. Thank you.

[@thinkingitthrough8368]

If i were to trace in my life where my love of music came from, where my appreciation of artists with true talent was born, its Ms. McKennett and her ensemble. They write their own music, play multiple instruments and reimagine music and poetry of the past, making them true artists in a world of mechanically enhanced amateurs. Real old world masters of their craft. And if this comment should find is way to them, I would like to say thank you for this lifetime gift not just for me, but one i shared with my children.

[@veramarialadicha8996]

I love you so much -- your music means the world to me. It was really life changing when I first listened to your songs. Music that heals body, mind and soul

[@gatocastizo3680]

She touched my music heart with The Visit

[@trishsiprell6996]

Mine as well. That was the first of her music I ever heard. "The Lady of Shallot" hooked me for life. Love you, sweet Loreena. Thanks for the joy all this time. Love from Florida, US!🌺🌴❤

[@Braxtor4]

Big fan of your amazing music. Much love from South Africa ❤❤❤

[@Baalthanion]

I think Loreena has finally completed a circle in her musical carrer. And what a circle has it been! There and back again...back to her celtic roots, but full of memories, experience and knowledge. The journey is never over of course, I cannot but admire the route she has followed to find her musical haven. I just love her so much, she is the reason that I turned into a folk music fan.

[@josephaylward6080]

I've listened to Lorena as Far back as 20 years it hits me right in the Heart

[@markberman6708]

Beautiful all the way 'round, music, soul, Beautiful.

[@cloudbusting.heights]

I'm very excited for this new album!

[@marcdaniels9043]

I’ve been a fan since 1991. I just saw her live again this past fall. She was exceptional, as always. Wild Mountain Thyme is one of my favorite songs. It is an emotional experience for me to listen to ANYONE singing this song, and Loreena’s version does not disappoint. I’m very much looking forward to the new album!

[@StevieWare-p9x]

❤❤❤, I so love your music love listening to your Albums, What a music storyteller Lovely voice

[@frowningdragon]

Thank you Loreena for your many gifts through the years, and thank to all you have played with and sang with also. Such unbelievable talent, i look forward to many more decades of music, blessings ❤

[@Eric-lw8te]

Abso-freakin-lutely! The feeling and fellowship forged when friends do gather 'round fire or freely come together and play and sing is like no other!! It seems forever since i have done so, but those nights, songs, and singers play ever and always in mine heart. Ever and Always in Our Hearts!! Thank You for the Music, Magic, and Removing All pain and doubt, Dear Friends! Thank You!!

[@danielazerega2645]

I saw Loreena in Brescia in 2008,an unforgettable evening,thank you very much for the dreams.

[@julieshepherd5989]

I love your message, but for 25 years your songs have taken me to fat away places, moors by the seaside, castles , ghost of Kathy and Heathcliff, freedom, peace , sadness, tears , joy, fog, mist. Your songs helped me the dreamer, be filled with peace, calm, and feeling that it's OK to be a dreamer of far away places. 😊❤

[@itnaseyre96]

I loved your music ❤

[@Brittasbits1]

i HAVE LOVED YOUR MUSIC FOR OVER 30 YEARS and just yesterday listened to the mask and the mirror, one of my favorites. Your music is timeless Loreena and is still fresh and beautiful as the day I first heard you. Love from Australia xx

[@Insignificatos]

❤ I love Lorena's songs, it brings us peace❤❤

[@Maria01140]

Dear Loreena, Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment with us. The only truth is music.” “Music is the universal language of mankind.” “Where words fail, music speaks.”

[@Monique-ys2zu]

[@Insignificatos]

Lovely singer, brilliant artist. Que belle mi amour.

[@wollis3802]

Finally! Thank you, Loreena. I still remember seeing you live in the Schleyerhalle in Stuttgart - when the girl in front of me whispered to her boyfriend :"Wow, totally the wood faerie!"^^ Me and my companion were so gripped by your performance that we couldn't talk for half an hour after leaving the concert hall.

[@manel5614]

She always knows the best way to inspire her audience. Great to know she's back with a new album!!

[@carolinarosario6355]

A sacred woman to learn from for the future in planet earth. Love and admiration from Madrid Spain❤

[@Roseyard]

Thank you for such a beautiful message, Mrs. Mckennitt! I could not agree more with you! ❤❤❤

[@chrisa.sanchez2645]

Loreena!! Come to the US again! 🇺🇸❤❤❤

[@MarkusEisele-yp7yl]

I will see and hear you in Vienna - March 24 and perhaps in Munich in July. I look forward with a lot of joy.

[@mstanley97]

So excited!!! Loved since her 1st album dropped. Mask and the Mirror is still my favorite! Never heard anything like her music before nor sense. Breathtaking!

[@rpvee]

Mask and Mirror was her fifth album. 😅

[@mstanley97]

[@daniellekearney607]

The only person I ever wanted to see in concert

[@FrancioMckennitt]

Without a doubt , the biggest musical star in the world, she perfectly speaks to our hearts, i love you

[@finfogel.382]

Loreena is 100% spot on everyone should be encouraged to pick up an instrument and give it a go, as a guitar player I am always on at the kids I work with to learn one doesn't matter what instrument it is get stuck in its a wonderful pastime to have.

[@giovannibernardi4298]

I'm so happy there's a new forthcoming album ! She's my fav singer & musician, together with Enya, since I was 16... Thank you for being you 💛 🌅 🙏💛

[@lepagepatriciabrillault4833]

Une très grande musicienne que j'adore !!! 💓 J'aurai tellement aimé aller à un concert chez moi en Bretagne !!!! 💗 Enfin un nouveau CD pour ma collection !!!! 😍😁 Merci Loreena!!! 🤗😁😍💗💗💗💗💗

Dommage que cette interview ne soit pas traduit !!! 😞☺️

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Wise words from a wonderful woman. Thank you, Loreena. I'm eager to hear your new music and to play some music of my own! ❤

[@SherylSato]

Thank you for your music - it has always been what I return to again and again ❤

[@Chuloloc]

Amazing. Great message. Keep music alive.

[@samgreenbergart]

Just learned that there was a new album coming out. So excited!!!

[@raimondaspoleti4202]

I ❤ your message and music too .. Thanks a lot Loreena Mckennitt❤

[@graziaswan]

Dear Loreena, your music always remind me of my sweet and beautiful mum, who loved your music and let me grow with it. This let me enter inside a land of fairy, mistic, poetic and sweet spirits, that remain with me even today, also through difficult times. Thank you, thank you so much, from the deepest of my hearth

[@cyramclennan2580]

Oh Loreena! You are such an inspiration! My online school teacher, Bridget Nutting, showed me your beautiful music. She was of Celtic descent and really held onto her heritage. She was a blessed soul. I found out she passed on and it broke my heart, but I think of her whenever I hear your music. I bet she is looking down excited for another album too ❤️ can't wait Loreena! Much love! Also I've always loved singing but never was in choir long enough to train my voice well. I love your encouragement that we all join in and not just be spectators! So encouraging!

[@myschka999]

One of my absolute all time favourite musicians in the world. Mahalo for being you and for your messages through the ages, Ms. McKennit! Love & appreciation! 🙏🏾💕✨

[@vagaickie]

New music (yay!) and a memory stirred by this interview. At the end of our local weekend bluegrass festival, all of the remaining artists would gather on stage to play & sing 'Will the Circle be Unbroken' - and while they played the audience joined hand in a circle. We sang along & danced first to the left & then back to the right in our circle. It brought us all together in a way nothing else could.

[@gianninagalletti8243]

Grazie divina ..

[@suemacias667]

It’s still my favorite tune. I can play it on an Irish flute now and home made instruments too. Slainte, so nice to see you still making music.

[@manoelrocha9649]

Estou super feliz em ter mais outra obra prima da Loreena em minha coleção, que chegue 08/03 pra eu poder comprar esse lindo CD e desfrutar dessas canções tão belas 💜💜💜

[@bhavearth]

Thank you Loreena. Much love from the Himalayas

[@gokhangunes9801]

You are the queen of the music❤

[@heidibeckius9669]

Hello Loreena, I saw you last year in concert in Columbus, OH. It was truly amazing and i absolutely loved it. Thank you, for what you do.

[@Myuuchu]

Bless her, I've been listening to her for so many years now and love it like the first day. It inspires me when I do art, when I walk outside in the forest, when I am driving, and many more. So glad to hear there is another album coming

[@robbiealem]

Loreena new albummmm YEYYYYY - This brings me so much joyyyy

[@christinakaras6452]

I absolutely cannot wait for this album. Thank you, Loreena, for continuing to treat us to your music and words of wisdom. I almost traveled to one of these festivals from Michigan but wasn't able to, so what a joy to have them recorded live for your wider audience! Your Visit Revisited concert in Ann Arbor was unforgettable. P.S., How gorgeous Loreena is in the early photo at 2:15! Oh, in that dawn to be alive!

[@raomzk]

Ansioso para poder escutar mais um disco magnífico de Loreena McKennitt ♥

[@davidjames1063]

Love you L.M. !!! 😊

[@aldogusmao]

The only thing I have to say is: Thank you. Your music has saved me through many difficult times. Thank you very, very much.

[@ednaversuri6164]

❤❤❤Maravilhosa, Loreena!!!! Que bom vê-la e ouvi-la em novas canções!!!!!! Amo demais!!!!

[@fillythesurvivor873]

I’m every excited ✨

[@pedromiguel2543]

You are my muse for about 20 years. Your voice and your music is out of this world. Please come to Portugal.

[@aertoncalaca]

I'll never forget listening to 'The Lady of Shalott' for the first time, back in July 1998. It lifted me off the ground. Little did I know then that Ms. McKennitt's discography would lift me off the ground anytime, everytime. How grateful I am to share the planet with her. Thank you, Ms. McKennitt. Warm greetings from Brazil.

[@СаняГоловинков]

Лорина, приятно Вас снова видеть!

[@StarDreamMemories]

I agree. All of my grandparents and their siblings played music for us while we were growing up. When my boys were stidying piano, my cpusin reminded me....growing up, every home had a piano.

[@D-San004]

So exciting 🤩🌬️🕯️💚

[@AlexandreSantos-vi3ww]

Maravilhosa ❤👏👏👏👏

[@danielguerinot6307]

Quel plaisir d'apprendre l'arrivée de ce nouvel album

[@turbidblue1]

Looking forward to listening! ❤

[@andrewjackson9417]

When you say there's nothing like playing music you're right. When I was in a band we played an all day event for Iran that had a huge earthquake. The last 4 hours was local bands, we were second from the end, the crowd was estimated at 5 thousand, there's no feeling like it.

Beautiful Loreena ❤

[@mojohmusic]

Loreena is one of the most authentic artists I know and has inspired me to make music for over 25years now

[@fernandorodrigues6324]

Beautiful ❤️ Sending love to you! Brazil miss you

[@shirleynoble685]

Loreena is my favorite musical artist, hands down. Vocalist, musician, composer, she has the full suite of talents. Her own compositions are beautiful and haunting and she also has the talent to take one of the world’s great mystical poems from the 16th century and set it to music as well. That poem is “The Dark Night of the Soul” by the Spanish mystic St John of the Cross which is replete with the influence of the Sufi mystics who wandered through the Iberian peninsula for hundreds of years. It doesn’t get any deeper than that.

[@padmac8176]

I love to sing in karaoke and i used to play the guitar passionately but life got in tge way. Never too late to get the passion back though. Loreena your music is heavenly and magnificent alway. ❤

[@Insignificatos]

Take us home Loreena to the Infinite ..

Where would we be without the gift of music. Without the gift of Loreena…

Because I know it's a subject dear to you, Loreena, have you seen the free documentary "Childhood 2.0"? Very illuminating.
