Solstice Carole - cover by Merrigan (Pagan Yule music)

[@petertimmerman7580]

I prefer your version. I air it on radio stations across The Netherlands.

[@Sollarose_mb7x8]

Beautiful ❤

[@skyboswell]

So glad I found this recording, Will be aired on my radio show in the coming weeks. x

[@ApollonianShy18]

Awee 😊😊😊 lovely ❤ happy yule/xmas

[@StardustSnowdrops]

So hard to find anything yule related. I love this.

[@Merriganmusic]

I agree! I hope to write my own sometime. :)

[@Ellieways]

Love how much this sounds like a traditional carol. 💚💗🎄

[@slm8025]

Working a very quiet 12 string of this- Pagan and attending a very open Yule/Christmas celebration of Multiple Sclerosis folks- I too have this condition but the one true Creator that shows his face in the manner each person needs to see it, and help from Cernunnos has kept me well for the 28 years of his otherwise challenging situation, I'm 68yo now and feel the earth every morning- She holds me in her Arms and comforts me. Blessed be to you all this Season of Magic- SLM.

[@galaxywanderer5508]

I'm going to play this every Yule! 🎄

[@Ellieways]

I wish this version was on Spotify. 😢

[@ApollonianShy18]

I love it more ❤

This is lovely!

[@MadSwedishGamer]

Well I guess I'll be listening to this for the rest of December now.

[@whatsyournote8832]

Beautiful - covering this song in our school college ensemble now and I had to learn it! Bravo! If you’re being covered by an ensemble means you’re professional level!

[@miarand57]

Your version is gorgeous! I’m singing it at our Solstice Bonfire at church in the evening on the 21st!😊🙏🏼💕

I Love This One Im Using This Song For My Winter Concert

[@missfoxglove8989]

So beautifully sung! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@lunaisawitch]

Wow, I have re-listened to this about 5 times in a row now. I looove it. ❤

[@arkadiykrayushkin1412]

Every time I listen to your songs I get carried away to a far away magical land, full of wonders and dangers and hope. Truly thank you for your art, you are a miracle!

[@vampiresage69]

Well done. Perfectly ethereal. Blessed be

[@Artzner52]

I love it. And I love the difference with the Wyrd Sisters original, particularly the fact that you leave the ending unresolved.

[@straiffix6543]

Thank you for such joyful winter gift!

[@davidsterenchock1899]

Beautifully done. Normally, when you see that it's a cover you think it may not stand up to the original. You have done a great job. Now I have to find it by the Wyrd Sisters to see if they got it right.

[@alanathompson9165]

So beautiful! Thank you.

[@wtfisthisnonsense]

This time of year is always hard for me, thank you for your beautiful and Inspiring music to remind folks like myself that there is still beauty in the world and that this truly a wonderful time of year. May your days be filled with joy.

[@little_butterfly9329]

Same, thank you too !

[@billydoc1577]

I really wish I could interview you just about your music nothing else. I wish there were more comforting songs out there and one for each soltice (sorry I am soooo run down and exhausted from living on the streets forgive if I spelled that word wrong)or equinoxes which I am not yet familiar with. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I wonder how I can get your music if I can finally raise enuff money for it and etc I try and study voice's and how some just draws people to some then others and your voice is so perfect for this song. Its sad thow this song but comforting at the same time and gives visions of what harmony and peace maybe and could be. AGAIN THANKS. PEACE AND WELL WISHES TO YOU AND ALL.

[@SteveMullington]

Merrigan, I know about you from the skyrim modding community since you provided the voice for Auri a companion mod and I must say that you have a beautiful voice and you sound like the faeries from celtic myth

[@Merriganmusic]

Thank you so much! I actually also made Auri 😁

Lyrics : A fire is burning, The long night draws near, All who need comfort, Are welcome by here. We'll dance "neath the stars, And toast the past year, For the spirit of Solstice, Is still living here. We'll count our blessings, While the mother lays down, With snow as her blanket, Covering the ground. Thanks to the mother, For the life that she brings, She'll waken to warm us, Again in the spring. The poor and the hungry, The sick and the lost, These are our children, No matter the cost. Come by the fire, The harvest to share, For the spirit of Solstice, Is still living here. A fire is burning, The long night draws near, All who need comfort, Are welcome by here. We'll dance "neath the stars, And toast the past year, For the spirit of Solstice, Is still living here.

Traduction française : "Un feu brûle ici, La longue nuit approche, ceux cherchant le réconfort, sont les bienvenus ici. Nous danserons proche des étoiles, et trinquerons aux années passées, car l'esprit du solstice, continue de vivre ici. Nous chérirons notre chance, Tandis que la Mère s'allonge, Avec pour couverture, la neige couvrant le sol. Remercions la Mère, pour la vie qu'elle apporte, Elle nous réveillera avec chaleur, au printemps prochain. Les pauvres et les affamés, Les malades et les perdus, Sont nos enfants, peu importe le prix. Venez près du feu, partager la récolte, Car l'esprit du solstice, continue de vivre ici. Un feu brûle ici, La longue nuit approche, ceux cherchant le réconfort, sont les bienvenus ici. Nous danserons proche des étoiles, et trinquerons aux années passées, car l'esprit du solstice, continue de vivre ici."

Please add this to your Spotify account. It’s so beautiful! ❤

Sorry, I can't. :( I tried, but my distributor couldn't find the copyright info for the original, so I couldn't get a lisence to release it to streaming.

Marvelous! Joins my top 5 favorites songs of yours, together to I Know You, Catching Stars, Daughter Of The Sea and Samhain Child.

[@samanthah4907]

this is a beautiful song! May I use this for my school's Winter Concert? I will be sure to credit you.

[@Merriganmusic]

Hi, do you mean performing a version of your own? I didn't write this song, the original is by the Wyrd sisters, but I think for a school concert it's probably just fine!

[@RogueReaper-kw4cb]

My brother found this and shared this with me just now

[@connieLo87365]

Beautiful. I think you did. Which instruments did you add?

[@Merriganmusic]

I added some bells, some kantele, some piano and of course my trusty harp. :)

[@jackgrove4621]

You sound exactly like leliana from dragon age, I forget the voice actors name. You have the tone and you have range. Its somewhat uncanny and almost hard to even tell the difference. edit: Corinne Kempa was the voice actor

[@Merriganmusic]

Haha, thank you. I love Leliana!

[@rubygauntlet]

I wish this was available to buy

[@Merriganmusic]

I'm sorry, I tried to get a lisence to release it, but my distributor couldn't find the original release date by the Wyrd Sisters. :( I think it was just released independently on a cassette.

[@nayunis9289]

what a beautiful song and voice!! you have a truly wonderful and unique voice! One random thought: Have you ever considered collaborating with Malukah? (This is her channel: kzbin.info/door/S613EogLXE0lTsxyC1cWLA) For some reason I have the feeling that your two very different but both really amazing voices could blend together extremely well, and I would absolutely love to hear a duet from the 2 of you! :-)

[@Merriganmusic]

Hi, I'm so sorry for the late reply, sometimes KZbin forgets to notify me about new comments. D: I'm a huge fan of Malukah, but she is a very successful professional who I don't expect to have time to collab with a really small artist like me. c: Maybe in another world!

[@nayunis9289]

@@Merriganmusic Thank you so much for the answer! ☺️ It's true that Malukah is probably quite busy but I think it might still be worth a try to ask :D I love your music :)

[@RogueReaper-kw4cb]

I am and no not bragging about it either, but I am a Druidh just like my ancestors were. You have two groups of Druidhs, not all Druidhs were pagan, you did have pagan Druidhs that is true, but you also have Christian/Hebrew Druidhs as well. I believe that Moses, Aaron, the Priests and even YaHUsHa whom people call Jesus was a Druidh Himself, I would fall under the Christian/Hebrew Druidh category. Yes I love this music too and celebrate The Winter Solstice too.
