Wow! That's really different.
I like the sound overall.
The use of percussion in this track is insanely cool and the strong orchestral backing was pretty effective.

OMG it's SO GORGEOUS! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
Does anyone have the lyrics?

Wow! Epic song! Can't wait to hear more!

I totally agree! It's very different from what I was expecting but it's so good at the same time!
Hoping this helps lyric-wise by the way (I'm still trying to snuff out who sings what though, so please do excuse any errors member-wise). I don't really know what the choir's singing, but I can assume that it's probably some Latin or Irish lyrics.
[Muirgen:]
One morning early, I walked forth
By the margin of Lough Leane
[Chloë:]
The sunshine dressed the trees in green
And summer bloomed again
[Megan:]
I left the town, and wandered on
Through fields all green and gay
[Muirgen:]
And whom should I meet but a colleen sweet
At the dawning of the day?
[Megan:]
No cap or cloak this maiden wore
Her neck and feet were bare
[Chloë:]
Down to the grass in ringlets fell
Her glossy golden hair
[Megan:]
A milking pail was in her hand
She was lovely, young and gay
[Muirgen:]
She wore the palm from Venus bright
By the dawning of the day
(fiddle solo)
[Chloë:]
On a mossy bank, I sat me down
With the maiden by my side
[Megan:]
With gentle words, he courted her
And asked her to be his bride
[Muirgen:]
She said, "Young man, don't bring me blame"
And swiftly turned away
And the morning light was shining bright
[All:]
At the dawning of the day

GORGEOUS! :D :D :D :'(

I also have difficulties identifying each singer yet, but I think it's at follows:

As turn to be his bride

I am absolutely certain about Chloe's parts, because her voice is deeper than the others and has that signature breathiness. As for Megan and Muirgen, I think a few parts may be the other way round, as I don't know Muirgen's voice well enough yet, and mostly distinguish between them by Megan's voice being softer and clearer and Muirgen's sharper and sweeter.

I noticed while listening to the song a few more times that Muirgen has a little bit of an "accent" when she sings, too.
-
Well... I suppose they all have their own (regional) accents. Muirgen's from Cork, maybe that accent sounds a tiny bit different?

It does. But I'm sure we'll recognise their voices a little more once the album comes out :)
-
Yep, especially when the solos give an idea of what to expect from them, in particular Muirgen. But I am also interested to hear how O'Toole "uses" each voice.

A lyric video for the song just dropped today. It's absolutely gorgeous and makes the song sound even more beautiful ;D
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/C6P95Bb5Otk

I don't know how to put it, Muirrgen is the most beautiful voice I've ever well it's insane this clip lol. She bring'd back Mairead Carlin's realm in part but so in her own that she actually goes with Chloe and Megan is like a melting bowl of fondue cheese. For me I always seen Mairead C fitting so well with Eabha and Susan. Chloe, Megan, Mairead C was a marvelous pair the young dynamo of CW members no matter how short lived and Susan with Megan and Mairead C kept the delight that when Eabha was on.

Beautiful song! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

i need to see the performers miss it so much.
