"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) Review about Loreena McKennitt the voice of an angel | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Caravanserai performed by Loreena McKennitt did you know in fact that Loreena Mckennitt is not irish but Canadian? certainly sounds like she has quite a bit of celtic ancestry though with her treatment of the songs.I dont know of any other artist who takes( historical events)(sometimes and turns them into beautiful songs and poems. I found her quite by accident when i was looking for the words of a christmas carol the holly and the ivy A unique voice from Marie Australia farmer's daughter or princess? | Reviewer: Peter ------ About the song The Bonny Swans performed by Loreena McKennitt please forgive me since I'm not a native English speaker - for years I have wondered about these Lyrics of "The Bonnie Swans" of Mrs McKennitt since I heard that song first and loved it instantly at first listening. The first verse says that the three girls walking the river bank were the daughters of a farmer. In the last verse though, after the harper brought his newly-made instrument (the former girl) to "their father's court", that father suddenly is a king, so that the drowned girl has been a princess and not a farmer's daughter ... - is anyone here who can help me eith that problem of understanding? Thank you very much in advance. Greetings, Peter Just beautiful..... | Reviewer: Joana ------ About the song Skellig performed by Loreena McKennitt I really, really adore Loreena! She is like an Angel, send from God. Her Voice is so clear and pure, but still so warm. Her Songs are haunting, breathtaking and also mysterious.

Awesme | Reviewer: Chris ------ About artist/band Loreena McKennitt A wonderfully stirring voice. I first heard Ride across the Caucasus in the movie "Soldier" just had to find out who sang it. Sibce then I have been a listener. Her beauty of voice and face is captivating. Rigel | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stolen Child performed by Loreena McKennitt From Wikipedia: "McKennitt was born in Morden, Manitoba of Irish and Scottish descent to parents Jack and Irene McKennitt (a livestock dealer and a nurse)." This is a beautiful song, almost magical. I love how she can always find the right tune for poetry written by others. History | Reviewer: Paul ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt The eponymous - Highwayman - is a real character. This poem bases on the true story, which took place in XVII century. John Nevison - the Highwayman - lived in the York shire (1640-1685). He escaped many times from prison, but finally they captured him setting a trap. But the end of this poem is only an author's fantasy. Nevison was captured and hanged in Knaveshire. We don't know if the landlord's daughter - Bess - died and ever warned him. a true work of art | Reviewer: Chris A. ------ About the song The Mystic's Dream performed by Loreena McKennitt I love the droning pedal tone that goes through the entire work. It is a technique that I have been using for about twenty years in my own works, but I wish that I had used it so elegantly. Although the song is beautiful and colorful, it has a wonderful uneasiness to it, with a relentless rhythm. It give me a feeling that I cannot describe, I just love it. i luv this song | Reviewer: morgan ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt i love this song so much but is so sad that he died my mom has this song on her i pod ok i dont know if any of u guys know what webkinz are but i have 15 of them AND I HAVE A SUPER BED I HAVE THE APPLE PIE BED my user name for webkinz is:girlfairydust111 no capitals brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Highwayman performed by Loreena McKennitt a beautiful love song, but the ending is so tragic! i cry every time i read it or hear it...i guess the ending is essential though as it demonstrates how much they loved each other. i don't think it was a waste to have the man die in the end, as who would want to live knowing that their lover had died for them...i would probably kill myself just to be with them. wow what a sacrifice...WHAT A SONG! it's pure brilliance and her voice is so clear and haunting.

I noticed many reviewers mentioned the movie "The Mists of Avalon" but I wonder if you have read the book..? The book is simply amazing! I guarantee that if you love this song you will truly love the book The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Beautiful | Reviewer: Al Perrin ------ About the song The Bonny Swans performed by Loreena McKennitt Reminds me a great deal of the Medievel style of musical Greek tragedy like "Polly Von," song by Peter Paul & Mary back in the sixties. But here, Ms. McKennitt masterfully welds this folk music style of storytelling with a modern steel string guitar format. A hauntingly beautiful rendition, that along with the sad ancient words touches the heart deeply. I Love this Song. | Reviewer: Monique ------ About the song The Mummers' Dance performed by Loreena McKennitt I first heard this song in Mists of Avalon and on website as well.

It has enchanted me and I feel like visiting a festival around the ancient stone-henge whenever I listen to it. The inclusion of Arabic instruments only makes it better, like a merger of different traditions from around the world in an ancient trade route located in a dark-age Celtic town. A masterpiece indeed ! A Muse in Disguise... | Reviewer: Farooq Ahmad ------ About artist/band Loreena McKennitt That is what she is, she came from the mysteries of ancient times, from folklores, the fables of the faery folk, from the groups of dryads who used to wander the Celtic forests...she is a banshee of healing, with her voice and words you can get rejuvenated... I can bet she learned this from the real Merlin of the Celts, this wizardry of emotions and chanting that heals a warrior's heart. An art handed down right from the forest Elfs. She is an artist placed into our time by the ancient creatures who want their existance to be known... Listen to her music, and you might find 'em someday! Music to soothe.... | Reviewer: Barbara Dineen ------ About the song The Mummers' Dance performed by Loreena McKennitt Absolutely, this is a true work of enlightened enchantment. A wonderful mix of instruments, lyrics and Loreena's voice makes this song a beacon for women seeking the true goddess. I am so there in the mists of Avalon when I hear this song....... ethereal voice | Reviewer: Bahram ------ About the song Blacksmith performed by Loreena McKennitt Hi Dear Loreena , I'm From Guilan Province , southwest of Caspian Sea .
