Anyone buy this or heard it yet and give me an honest opinion to see if it's worth the purchase of a poor college student. Thank you.

this sounds interesting... i'd definitely like to hear it!

i remember the first few times i listened to clannad and didn't understand why on some songs i couldn't figure out the lyrics.. then i realized they were singing in irish

are all of the songs covers? anyone care to translate?

Closing_Doors · 03-15-2006, 07:58 AM

Queen of Hearts is a cool song...don't know what it'll sound like in Irish though

I'll pick it up tommorow & let ye know if it's worth it.

i bought it yesterday and i've played lisa's track over and over and over... i really love it. i think it's the best thing i've heard in ages. ray darcy played it on his programme this morning and said he really liked it too. nice to hear something in irish played on today fm. there are some other really good tracks on the cd too. the frank and walters song is great.

here are the lyrics of "queen of hearts" (lisa's version means "Queen of My Heart") taken from loveless' site irishmusiccentral.com:

Water came and saw me
Holding back
Holding back for someone
Water came and saw me
Holding on
Holding on for someone

What you see is the life I had
Now I'm left here with my past
Watching time as it passes slow
Just to see the reasons why
They must have come and passed me by
Or maybe I'm just blind
Because the...

Like we couldn't see it in text
Like we couldn't guess what was next
Like we'd taken all of our hopes and
our dreams...

And we'd put them out in the sun
Naked, as a beacon for everyone
Who couldn't achieve
And so come on my son it's like this
It's like faint little miss
Just like a sudden change in winter
Caused the breaking of a heart
And now the Queen of hearts
And all my wondrous thoughts
They're no longer with me
And I'm sick because the...

Holding on for
The Queen of Hearts

i bought it today and i love it! eventhough i don't understand the words they are singing but at least it sounds nice. who knows, maybe i'll become a gaelic expert soon... i could translate it myself then in front of my friends and show off

Wheels · 03-17-2006, 01:16 PM

The song is great! How can it not be with Lisa singing?

#Ian# · 03-17-2006, 07:57 PM

I wonder how many of the people on that album actually speak Irish or if they had to have special phonetic lyrics put in front of them.

The magic dot is back, and this time it's in my signature. I recommend you buy the album, though. It's a great listen and the money goes to charity!
