I went with One More Day (absolutely awesome), Crucan Na Bpaiste (devastatingly beautiful), and Follow the Heron (soothing and pretty).

It was very hard for me to pick. I chose One More Day because it's amazing and epic. I chose Silent O Moyle because I love the story behind it, and Deirdre sings it beautifully and hauntingly. And I chose Follow the Heron because it's a very peaceful, Celtic song that is very special to me. I did think about choosing Crucan Na Bpaiste for one of the three, though; I love that song, as well.

1.) One More Day
2.) Crucan Na Bpaiste
3.) Danny Boy

It was hard for me to pick between "Danny Boy" and "Follow the Heron," but I decided to just go with "Danny Boy."

Fun fact for Thunderheads:

The version of "One More Day" on The Canadian Tenors album was produced by David Munro, who later became the musical director for Celtic Thunder in 2011.

Side-note: Celtic Thunder: Storm, which featured Deirdre Shannon, was recorded in 2009 while Phil Coulter was still the musical director.

By the way, I do recommend listening to The Canadian Tenors (who were later renamed to just "The Tenors") album that has Deirdre on it. I enjoy pretty much all the tracks on the album. Home I'll Be and Always There (a cover of the Secret Garden song) are fantastic!
