A Christmas Symphony Tour 2025 and release date 11-07-2025 / Re: My Thoughts On The Album!!
« Last post by rfcw on Today at 09:38:12 AM »I know it’s been a while but I just listened to Codail A Linbh again…Muirgen is absolutely incredible on the album!!! They should’ve just let this be her solo and had Wexford Carol as a group performance like in The Magic Of Christmas…or given her both…I’m not fond of preferential treatment but I’d make an exception here…
I think Codail A Linbh is actually my favourite song from the album. I wasn’t too fond of the production at first (and I still think it could be better), but I like it more with each listen. It definitely was begging for a harp, though. I wish they’d given this to Tara and maybe Little Drummer Boy or something to Ciara instead. Or even have some other band member play it!
But anyway, everyone performs amazingly, and Muirgen is absolutely magnificent.
I honestly think Muirgen has the potential to be my favourite Celtic Woman member ever (or maybe second to Órla). I don’t think any of the other CW vocalists have been able to move me as much as Muirgen has. The sheer emotive, beautiful power of her voice is unmatched.
Anyway, this turned into more of an ode to Muirgen than anything else, but that’s kind of how I feel with every CW song with her in it! (Except for maybe some of the PFI ones because she was done quite dirtily there 😭).
Oh my goodness, I too feel the same ever since Muirgen stepped on the scene.
One of my favorite moments about the 20th Anniversay Special is on Dawning of The Day when you see Mairead slowly turning gazing at Muirgen as she shines on her signature parts.
When you say PFI did her dirty all I can assume was she was given only one solo.
I really love that the musical director at that time recognized Susan with the acknowledgement that she would not be able to tour.
So having Susan on Amazing Grace with The Ancient Land Castle in the Landscape backdrop was some how to me giving a little outdoor castle special makeup for she wasn't able to partake in the Ancient Land Special from her pregnancy.
I would say Alex should of been guest or featured on another album, special or holiday special which is why I was saluting Caranua all the way. As Like Susan who has come back to fill in for the girls so had Alex and Lynn for the 10th Anniversary Tour and Lynn for Emerald in 2014. Had the Destiny Special featured Alex and Lynn as Special Guests it would of made more sense than Rebecca, Rebecca knew to play the harp but she never became a Celtic Woman.
