Hayley Westenra - May It Be

[@peterx727]

This is from the concert Hayley gave in New Zealand when she was just 17. To be able to sing like this at such a young age is truly awesome.

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

34 now, wow time really does fly. Youth is underrated.

[@donnied6151]

Walked past her in Auckland many years ago when she was big. Beautiful young women.

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

only she can equal enya's original, she's the most talented in her category.

[@bobpurnell6721]

This song defines me and my life's journey. I have experienced loneliness, anxiety, depression. I't a lonely road that only someone who's been down the same Path would understand. May ALL who travel this Road find rest and peace.

[@lizhang2849]

I think I can understand what you mean. Life is not easy, during this road, we have learned to be the company of ourselves. May ALL who travel this Road find rest and peace.

Such a beautiful and uplifting song to fit those who face hardships. Everyone has trials and songs like these can make you stronger and feel at peace. When all seems lost, all hope is gone, stand on your feet and move forward. It may be hard to see the sun set but there are beautiful moutains that we must climb to see it.

Enya's version was recorded in a studio, this is as live as it gets, no flaws or excuses just a straight forward performance... And nails it.

[@prwoolrich]

Without doubt this woman has one of the purest voices I've ever heard she is a gem

[@JohnSmith-ei2pm]

Try listening to Emma Kirkby. Then you really will hear purity and beauty of tone.

[@courtneygrier2015]

Agreed!!!

[@katerinakemp5701]

@@JohnSmith-ei2pm lol not to sure about that I have listened to 3 ladies that have sung this tune besides this young lady I like Enya and as the Maestro Ennio Morricone stated in his interview Hayley is pitch perfect, this young lady is the only singer that he collaborated with so what does that tell you all.

[@katerinakemp5701]

@@JohnSmith-ei2pm sorry not even close i have listened to Miss Kirby not even to this standard, my self i like Enya even with all the overlays she has, but as for purity of voice i prefer this young lady, but everyone to their own choice.

[@JohnSmith-ei2pm]

@@katerinakemp5701 It tells me nothing. I do not need the advice of this Morricone fellow or anyone else. My post related to the comment of Mr. Woolrich who waxed lyrical about what he alleged was the purity of her voice. I consider his comment ill informed and unreasonable. Relative to his claims her voice is uneven and what she does with it at times does not merit praise of any kind. You have expressed your views on the performance. Your preference has no relevance to either my comment or that of Mr. Woolrich.

Genesis says Abraham saw three men and later calls them the lord and two angels. So angels are just people.

[@geniemeadows5122]

I think we have too many Irish who come to view Hayley's music and they already have it in their head that Enya is better. Hayley is second to none! Doing a magnificent performance live, seals the deal I am sorry Irish folk! Back to the studio Enya!

[@catsitter01]

We saw Haley at DAR in DC about this time, 2007. She was with Il Divo and had everyone in her hands when she sings. She's from New Zeland and does sound like the Celtic Women but she can make your heart soar with the clarity of her voice. Hope you enjoy and share.

[@bloodgracet5640]

Hayley, sings like something other-worldly, angelic, with a softness and beauty it immediately captures your heart then your imagination then your soul. How do you describe something like this? The only real definition would come by way of a song itself, a song sang back to the singer in order to capture the essence of beauty in feeling. This is the work of God.
