[@mallubhai0MBBS]

The Quiet Land of Erin is the traditional version of the title theme but can be the end credits as well...Love it and cherish it...

[@aktoreal]

[@David-jo1er]

If you know nothing about spelling, go back to school.

[@t24hy44]

Pipes and horns ... and fiddles and harps, don't forget those! ❤

[@helchose]

Gives me the chills.

[@leahjones4109]

this is the words to the song i think? Oh 'tis I would be in Árd Tí Cuain Where the mountains stands away And 'tis I would let the Sunday go In a cuckoo's glen above the bay Chorus (repeated after each verse): Agus, och och Éire lig is o Éire leanndubh agus o Ah, the quiet land of Érin Oh my heart is weary all alone And it sends a lonely cry To the land that sings beyond my dreams And the lonely Sundays pass me by I would travel back the twisted years Through the bitter wasted wind If the God above would let me lie In a quiet place above the wind

[@beirbuadh]

Would you believe it? He wrote the song before he emigrated from Ireland to Scotland. An emigration song, before emigrating. And the story goes, he was so sad after writing this.... he never left. I'd believe it. because if you played this song to me before leaving Ireland... I wouldn't go either, My eyes have tears already.

[@2410jrod]

beirbuadh it is such beautiful land from going from a desert to Ireland it was like I was staring at gods canvas.

[@mallubhai0MBBS]

I would travel back through twisted years... Through the bitter westward wind...If the God above would let me lie...In a quite place above the wind

[@mallubhai0MBBS]

A sliece of heaven :)

[@NaglfarCommando]

Great soundtrack.

[@sukathodos]

It's called Ardaigh Cuain (though I've seen it spelt 4-5 different ways). Here's a choral version by Cór Thaobh a' Leithid: /watch?v=N9xAGo9XyAM There is also a popular English interpretation (not a direct translation) called The Quiet Land of Erin.

[@zach4590]

Beautiful but so hard to understand the words, so would be awesome if they put the lyrics in..

[@donatella094]

just saw this movie a few minutes ago (yes i live a sad life) - confronting plot (to be expected); but very pretty soudtrack (especially this track :) )

[@scotishjohn]

[@norwestwolf]

The opening and closing music is luring.

[@MovieMad007]

good point!! :) Thanks for that! :)

[@Raindropser3]

LOVES THIS:-) ♪♥♫ But what is the name of this traditional ballad...???

[@MsXizan]

@AlohaMaggieSteele In the credits, I think it said that Enya was the SONGWRITER. Clannad may have been the group performing it.

[@MovieMad007]

@crazyrider02 no this is not the theme from Harrys Game!!!

[@MsXizan]

@fh09hl I don't know the name of the song, but it's by Enya.

[@AlohaMaggieSteele]

@MsXizan Um, it's not Enya...I've listened to her my whole life and this is not her voice...

[@zoeboyle5915]

Its Maggie Boyle singing. RIP, our beautiful friend

[@batlin]

@MovieMad007 That's why I said "a few incidents since then", but that's just a couple of nutters. BTW that was two years ago, not last week. Totally agreed with you though - it's a very similar attitude of hatred and balkanisation on both sides. The religious split is only a coincidence, but served as a convenient way to target people on the "other" side, even if it wasn't always accurate. It's really about territorialism. I've heard fanatics of both sides speak and they all sound like thugs :/

[@fedster187]

clannad i think

[@Mrpastry909]

At the end of the VHS tape, after the credits, there is a PSA about HIV. Weird.

[@2410jrod]

Not weird at all. You have to remember 80’s was during the HIV pandemic. It was a really scary time and people didn’t know much about it.

[@echoecho81]

This is coming from an American, but... do a majority of people in North Ireland actually want to leave the UK? Fighting the British army is one thing, but what's supposed to happen to all the Protestant Anglos that have lived there for hundreds of years?

[@anleathbrogandubh]

iontach.

not as good as the hunt for red october
