"If one begins with the big questions of 'Who am I?' and 'Why am I here?', the understanding of the roads back in history seem as important as the ones forward, whether or not it pertains to the individual or collective, to the subject of love or the control of information." In The Book Of Secrets, Loreena McKennitt's seventh release and successor to the U.S. gold records The Visit and The Mask And Mirror, the Canadian artist continues a process of cultural excavation of the pan-Celtic heritage, serving as a creative springboard and a passport to eras past. Breathing life into long-forgotten lyrics, McKennitt first made her name as a folk singer, singing traditional folk ballads like "She Moved Through The Fair" with freshness and immediacy.

(Submit New Loreena McKennitt Lyrics) (Submit New Loreena McKennitt Lyrics) Magic | Reviewer: Jade ------ About the song The Mummers' Dance performed by Loreena McKennitt I always think of something when I listen to music, weather its a memory or something for one of my books and this song simply makes me think "Magic" (Yes, this is a good thing). It's tune alone is great for when I'm trying to write out a tricky magic scene, but when I focus on the Lyrics then the true magical nature of it comes out. It helps me to build depth to my characters and inspires me to continue writing. I'm going to have to start looking up more of Loreena's songs, I found this one on acsident and I'm glad I did. Now I have to search up more of her music. great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Annachie Gordon performed by Loreena McKennitt Annachie Gordon ist one of Loreena Mckennitts earlier songs. But nevertheless it is done very well. The lyrics are well-chosen and gripping till the end and the music is extraordinary - I'm singing it all the day. Wonderful! | Reviewer: Ninny ------ About the song Stolen Child performed by Loreena McKennitt This is such a wonderful song! Transports me to another world every time. But Loreena is not Irish, she is Canadian and followed the routes of the Celts from Ireland down to Turkey. I think she has Scottish or Irish ancestors, but I am not sure which. Glorious music | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Dark Night of the Soul performed by Loreena McKennitt This song is one of the most glorious songs I have heard. It has it all - a beautiful melody, haunting vocals, authentic Celtic instruments, and a sensitive and moving arrangement. As I listen to it, I am taken to another time and place. I'm so glad it is almost seven minutes in length - even then, I have it on repeat! So Sad and beautiful!!!! | Reviewer: Mary ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt This song is the best. I first heard the poem and the song in a music class. My friend and I both fell in love with it. I recommend it to anyone and everyone... the music is awesome and Loreena sings so beautifully!!!! CYGNUS,LYRE' andSAGITTA | Reviewer: steven streets ------ About the song The Bonny Swans performed by Loreena McKennitt All thestars of the northern cross are there and its companions and thier relative myths. truly the fruit of a celtic viking subconscious this tale brought to new light by this new star.Many a sea rover father of olde looked to those stars for directions in his sleepless dilirium because of the tribulations his daughters competitivness had requited him.Its so inspired I have to wonder if Lady Mckennitt is a descendant of that clan of the three swans. the lyrics seem to me pure Robert Burns.As a former stepfather to just such cyclonic teenage hominids, im grateful someone could take all that and make something beautiful out of it. HER MUSICAL ART as consistant as ever,weaves craft with material equal to her skills.If the Lady Mckennitt be not already a descendant of that ancient noble clan of the three swans, id hope she would consider my invitation to join it.but not for begating more teenage girls... Beneath a Phrygian Sky - Loreena McKennitt's best yet | Reviewer: fallingleaves ------ About the song Beneath A Phrygian Sky performed by Loreena McKennitt One of the most beautiful works of poetry I've ever read. One of the most haunting songs she's written. In my opinion, the best song on the album. Incredible singer | Reviewer: Kevin C. Redden ------ About artist/band Loreena McKennitt I first heard Ms. McKennitt's 'Mummer's Dance somewhere around the very early 1990s if I recall, on the radio's 'Echos' or 'Hearts of Space' and immediately fell in love with her. But only about 10 years later, was I able to get her works thanks to MP3s. Now I'm a proud owner of every single CD she's released, and all the DVDs. Her music transcends anything I've heard. Although I'm a major fan of such as Constance Demby, Ray Lynch, and many others, hers is the top. I can listen to it all day, and never 'memorize' her songs. It's an incredible rarity for that to happen. The songs have formed images in my mind, which I attempted to draw. It's inspired stories I've written. It's also helped me though some of the horrific and painful years of my life as well. They're healers, they're inspiration, they're just beyond words at times. Her latest; An Ancient Muse was well worth the wait, and "Beneath a phrygian sky" is playing now, and it can easily bring tears to my eyes. To get to watch her in concert is one major goal of mine, and inspires me to make it happen by any format possible. She is really the Beethoven, or Mozart of our time. - Kc Fantastic! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt I first listened the song. I hadn't heard the poem before. Loreena is the best singer for this poem, i think. Both of them are gifts for humanity. Love it~ | Reviewer: Shai ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt Such a awesome poem/song, I first heard this is my L.A. class as part as a traditional ballet thing and our teacher played it for us, I fell in love with it and love Loreena and her accent. Beautiful. Touched my soul | Reviewer: A Kisling ------ About artist/band Loreena McKennitt The music of Loreena. Somehow stirred my Irish ancestry. As much or more then the Production of Celtic Women.Wish I would have discovered her years ago! Seraph's Say | Reviewer: SeraphAlford ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt I love the poem, and this version of the song. It's a wonderful song, and I stumbled upon it before I had read the poem. Loreena is amongst my favorite of singers, but I'm broke, so I linger on youtube in a dutiful search for random videos of hers. Well, glad you read my say, it's a good song, you can find it on youtube, or buy it, but good luck locating it anywhere else on the net. Beautiful song | Reviewer: Jen ------ About the song Skellig performed by Loreena McKennitt I just heard this for the first time last night, and it's so beautiful, haunting, and pure that it made me want to cry.

Skelling is my love | Reviewer: Michal ------ About the song Skellig performed by Loreena McKennitt People, there is so much good in this song that every time I hear it it makes me to think about all the bad things I have done. I am bad when I do hear this song that I have to cry. It's the sadiest but the most nice song I have ever heard. Great Ballad! | Reviewer: Killer M ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt This poem/song just moves you and tears you apart!! Its Awesome!!!

Enchanted Song! | Reviewer: Margaret ------ About the song The Mystic's Dream performed by Loreena McKennitt Is this a song? No, it's more poetry, with words that penetrate the soul.
