Loreena McKennitt - Beneath A Phrygian Sky Lyrics
The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy
So in haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us
Our love must make us strong
The breeze it wrapped around me
As I stood there on the shore
And listened to this voice
Like I never heard before
Our battles they may find us
But hold the banner proudly
The truth will set us free
My mind was called across the years
Of rages and of strife
Of all the human misery
And all the waste of life
We wondered where our God was
In the face of so much pain
I looked up to the stars above
To find you once again
We travelled the wide oceans
Heard many call your name
With sword and gun and hatred
It all seemed much the same
Some used your name for glory
Some used it for their gain
Yet when liberty lay wanting
No lives were lost in vain
Is it not our place to wonder
As the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures
Look on with mortal fear
It is ours to hold the banner
Is ours to hold it long
It is ours to carry forward
Our love must make us strong
And as the warm wind carried
Its song into the night
I closed my eyes and tarried
Until the morning light
As the last star it shimmered
And the new sun's day gave birth
It was in this magic moment
Came this prayer for mother earth
[Reprise:]
The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy
A voice from down the ages
So in haunting in its song
The ancient stones will tell us
Our love will make us strong

Loreena McKennitt Beneath A Phrygian Sky Comments
Loreena, is; the queen: of the Celts.. 👑♧
Beautiful 💕💕💕💕🙌🏼💯🥰🥰🥰 new sub🙌🏼🙌🏼
I submitted her cover of The Highwayman to my senior literature teacher for extra credit when I was in highschool. He must have listened to the entire album, as he came back on Monday handed mt cd to me and said "if she had been doing this in the 60's she would have been huge."
Loreena McKennitt is an enigma musically. She is a story teller with great ability to take to people a primal place that we have forgotten about. Ageless, timeless, beautiful music.
Definitely her best. And my favourite. This is truly the stuf that makes dreams of an higher order
My fave song on this album 💖💖💖💖💖
Amo loreena infinitamente!!
North Africa was more atuned to a European, specifically Celtic, culture, before the debilitating arab invasion of the 8th century. Our northern African breathern never fulfilled their potential as arabised vassal states.
B r a v o
Je l'ai vu à L'institut Canadien à Québec il y a plusieurs années et à ce moment là elle m'avait charmé et depuis ce temps j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour cette femme et sa musique.
Me traslada a otro tiempo. ¡Muy bella música!
She will be on hold ..... I can`t believe.....
mesmerizing...LOVE IT
A VOICE OF AN ANGEL....I LISTEN TO HER SINCE 1995....I NEVER WILL GET TIRED OF HER AWESOME MUSIC...THANK YOU LOREENA YOU ARE THE BEST....:)

Loreena is one of the best and most unique musicians of all times.

I love this song but I always cry because it reminds me of my dear goldendoodle. She got leukemia when she was eight. I miss her so
The dulcimer tones of fantasies come true....this is like reading Rumi....healing, soothing and touching....
The voice of the goddess of memory and dreams
Celestial
Lorena é infinitamente maravilhosa... amo demais...!!
💖💖
Mere words fail me !
Quite possibly the most beautiful song ever written, certainly the most beautiful I’ve ever heard.
Daily song, An Ode to Day Li Songs
What voices
Muses of sorts
Kindness galore
Waves of shock and pain
For this world no more
~
The Truth sets all free,
And threes not company
For Roman ce is
More than one may appear
I never meant to cause
The money to disappear.
So thank you for
Working so hard
For the People
And I never meant to take a girl
Never knew her name or her look
Never meditated like that at all -
Just bring her home to me
And I’ll love her as I do all.
Love from Athens
Hauntingly beautiful
Nationalism race culture traditions music food beauty substance everyone needs it whatever color you are YOUR HOMELAND just like you need Parents and AIR
As a Canadian, I can say that while Loreena Mckennitt has nowhere near the same fame and recognition as, say, Celine Dion; she is far more of a national treasure in my books than the latter or Justin Bieber will ever be.
Absolutely, Loreena is Canada's sage.
@Mihai Bravu yes I agree
It just depends on your taste.....I love Enya so love this artist as well and nice visual effects on this video as well.
Your so right my friend, there is no comparison! ♡
Amazing voice! If not the best...
Reminds me a lot of her older compositions. I love it!
A living muse.
eargasm
Mystical music from another realm
Love from Turkey where Phrygian sky used to be..
Yes, although Phrygians (real name Brygi) were Thracians which migrated there in ancient times from around Macedonia and established one of the most prosperous Kingdoms ever.
It took me to another place....tranquillity.
What did the ancient stone say?
Nothing stones don't talk.
Beautiful
our LOVE will make us strong 🐫🐪🐫🐫
Brilliant
This has got to be her best, its just perfect!
Melody, Voice, Instruments, Lyrics. All contribute to this exquisite composition. Haunting and touching at the same time. Don't mind if it gets stuck in the head.
Phrygian it mean Turkey in Anatolia land an ancient civilization
Thank You - Dear Sweet Father.
Linda musica e a voz da Loreena é magnifica !
Was this used n a movie soundtrack?
Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Gold Voice
Divine voice!
semplicemente divina...
Very beautiful music!
To say that sacrifice transcends "borders" and "culture" is asinine. Soldiers sacrifice and die, so as to protect those "borders" and "cultures".
This song always gives me real Kindath vibes
Sons de bruxa.
Ela é uma sacerdotisa wicka!
Close your eyes for a mystic journey
Divina lo transporta a uno, no sé a dónde
Breath in breath out. Astral inspiration from the Goddess. Is it just music I heard in an elevator to the last floor.
The Divine ones, their strength seeks us all, it’s within
This is very powerful,
Great Song!
This is one of my fav songs from the album! :-D
estou pensando em você......" agora "....................
I remember when I first learned about Loreena McKennitt: I was reading Jo Graham's book Hand Of Isis, and this song was one of the things that inspired her as she wrote her book. So glad I learned about Loreena and her gift from the Gods.
Hermosa canción
Ecstaticly beautiful song. Mystical. It can take you somewhere
Bellissima
Loreena understands - and demonstrates with ALL her beautiful music - this is One World.
is the best singer in the World.
Love it
Amo esta lindaaaa canção
My fav song...💘💘
breathtaking!
So excellent, can listen to over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over and over again
David Rodgers me too
Another place , another time , or perhaps a forgotten dream , Loreena always takes me there . Loreena , take me away again !
I 💙 Loreena
Una razón más para seguir vivo.
The possibility to fly away in the world of dreams.
Büyüleyici..Samanyolunun altinda bir yolculuğa cikariyor sanki..
SERKAN ÖZDEMİR Aynen öyle...
thx madame mckennitt
An hini bravañ ganaouenn ´m eus klevet biskoazh. Ken splann, ken seder.
I'm loving this song ❤❤
Magnifique!!!!

Beautiful
Beautifull, the most beautifull song
"The moonlight it was dancing, on the waves, out on the sea" Instant shock and awe, as shivers are sent down my spine. xD
