Title: Believe: Your favourite songs
Post by: ShiningBright on January 31, 2019, 07:38:50 AM
This is really difficult for me, because I love Believe particularly much - it's a lot different from most other CW albums, but it's so full of warmth, and so richly in every aspect. And... it's just very dear to me. I'd say my top five are The Parting Glass, Green Grow The Rushes, Walking the Night, Smile, and... woah, that's really difficult now. My Hear Was Home Again.

Mine are Awakening, Teir Abhaile Riu, The World Falls Away, My Heart Was Home Again and A Woman's Heart.

And I gotta admit, I had not realized Mna na hEireann was in Believe. I wikipediaed the track list and see it's a Mairead Nesbitt solo. Although I also hadn't watched Believe since the Ancient Land filming so next time I watch it I'll have that aha moment!

What a lovely choice! Awakening was a close contender for me.

Yes, it was, although - since it was only on the dvd and a fiddle solo - it's no surprise that I think most of us didn't really think of that song, when we heard Ancient Land. I was surprised enough when I figured out that it was in fact the same melody as Sarah Brightman's So Many Things. But CW has quite often sung songs that were fiddle solos earlier on - My Lagan Love, In The Bleak Midwinter, Shenandoah... even Carol of the Bells, actually.

Shenandoah at the Ancient Land filming I definitely recognized as a prior fiddle solo. Helps that that one was also on the CD which I listen to much more frequently than the DVD. This just means I need to watch the DVDs more to hear the songs that are only on DVD!

I generally prefer the dvds myself, but yeah - one gets to listen to the cds more often.

Yeah I'm constantly listening to Celtic Woman music in my car and on my ipod while at work.

I only picked my top 2 favorites because the rest, I pretty much love equally. :) So, it's "Follow On" and "Green Grow the Rushes" for me. :D

I haven't done all of them yet, but I really should make a Destiny one! And one for Songs from the Heart!
