McKennitt, Loreena - Penelope's Song Lyrics

Her voice is so singular, that it literally fells like a katana cutting through your soul.

Her voice is beyond this world

💕👑💕👑💕👑Infinite love for you, our very beautiful Queen!

Gorgeous.

I do have words for her voice. One of Ireland's finest. This song is dedicated to someone special.

That good soul... She will return to me. She did. She came to me. I agree. He, she, and ... You.

A true crone if ever there was one, a woman who, with age, has grown into the wisdom available to all willing to seek it. Whether she's setting classic literature to music, writing her own lyrics inspired by timeless themes, or composing an instrumental piece, Loreena's bardic gifts are nothing short of spectacular. Just wonderful. Blessed be, great songstress. )O(

SUPERB!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Why aren't Robert Plant and her traveling the world writing music and playing classic's of their's, Perhaps they fear falling in love...

What does property of Quinlan Road mean? Does a street own Loreena's voice?

Many Thanks from Greece!!

Loreena McKennitt is a queen in the art's kingdom... Dear Lady Greensleeves...

"In Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, Penelope was the faithful wife of Odysseus, King of the ancient city of Ithaca. Shortly after his son Telemachus was born, Odysseus went off to fight the Trojan War, a pastime which together with his other well known adventures and misadventures, kept him away for twenty years.

With her husband absent for so long, many a woman would have given in to temptation, especially in an age before modern communications when he could reasonably have been presumed dead, if not in the war itself, then lost at sea. But not Penelope! An alluring prize for any man about town - a beautiful widow and a queen into the bargain - she kept her suitors at bay for three years with an original ruse. When at last her husband returned, he did so disguised as an elderly beggar, and discovered - no doubt to his delight - that she had remained faithful all these years.

In English, the word odyssey has become synonymous with an epic journey; Penelope's name has not been similarly adapted, but it has become synonymous with the faithful woman.

Although Loreena McKennitt is as much a classical scholar as a musician, and "Penelope's Song" was directly inspired by a visit to the Greek island of Chios, it has a more universal meaning. As the lady herself explained: "...I wanted to create a song from the perspective of the individual or individuals that were left behind. And it is a story that certainly is universal in its theme, that when I think of some of Irish history and the time during the famine, and there were people that emigrated to, let's say, Canada or the United States on these horrible coffin ships. And that there were families that were also left behind and their loved ones would be heading over to the New World. And you can't help but think of those, there have been people who have left their loved ones for all kinds of circumstances. And the pain of seeing them go off and not knowing if they'll ever return. So I wanted to create a song that captured some essence of that sentiment, of waiting for your loved ones to return".

"Penelope's Song" was recorded live with a full orchestra, and the composer at the piano; running to 4 minutes 21 seconds, it was dedicated to the memory of Captain Shawn McCaughey, a Canadian pilot who was killed when his plane crashed on May 18, 2007. Three weeks later he was due to be married."

Without any doubt or question, she is my favorite female singer of all time. Amazing voice. She also does a darn fine job of poetry and prose to song.

I bow down in front of her!!!!

Sorry - miserable Sound-/Bildqualität. So eine wunderschöne DVD dermaßen zu verhunzen - und dann noch draufschreiben Property of.... Geht`s noch???

A beautiful Celtic sound, I feel very honoured to share the same birth date.

This girls voice makes you believe in a greater power in the universe.

un angelo canta per noi

I have been on a Led Zeppelin binge. Not any more! Wow, chills, Loreena is my new favorite artist

My compliments to your taste, Led Zellelin and Loreena boen divine.

E giunta l’ora

allo svanir del giorno,
in quella spiaggia lontana
mi sentirai dire:

“Tanto a lungo quanto un giorno d’estate,
tanto nel profondo come il mare color vinaccia,
custodirò il tuo cuore con il mio,
finchè tu tornerai da me”

Là come un uccello vorrei volare
in alto nel cielo
per raggiungere i raggi del sole
solo per trovarti là

E nella notte quando i nostri sogni sono quieti
o quando il vento indugia selvaggio
custodirò il tuo cuore con il mio,
finchè tu tornerai da me

E giunta l’ora
allo svanir del giorno,
in quella spiaggia lontana
mi sentirai dire:

“Tanto a lungo quanto un giorno d’estate,
tanto nel profondo come il mare color vinaccia,
custodirò il tuo cuore con il mio,
finchè tu tornerai da me”

I bought „Book of Secrets“ more or less by accident, and I listened to it for months. Had the privilege to see her live in Frankfurt, will see her 2019 in Munich. What an angelic, enchanting voice she has!

Blessed are those who wait on the Lord.

I Love you so much😊😍😳

Beautiful. Love is forever. Love is why the one God split Himself into infinite beings (called souls) in the absolute beginning of time so long ago before the first Earth came into being, He died in the act of creating, becoming infinite beings who would meet each other and express their love together, this is how God can love and be loved, for He is only one Being and there was no other, the act of us loving each other is the New God being formed. Love, love, love, God is love and we are to become Love, so it shall be in the end.

Cok güzelmiş . F

Ruhumu doyuruyor, öylesine mükemmel bir şarkı <3

Sublime.

Eu te amo Loreena,pra sempre

straordinaria musica: bellissima

Yalnız ve huzurlu hissettiriyor

Unbelievably beautiful

So pretty

I will keep your heart with mine, till you come to me.

Divine!!!!

I am not worthy of being in the presence of such perfection.

The lyrics are from Homer’s Iliad. She often uses classical poetry for her songs. Nice clean upload... thanks!

Although l'm a huge Loreena fan, I have a religious experience every time l see the cellist with her spilling down hair and facial features and her exquisite legs wrapped around her instrument,the movement of her hands,the black gown, the way she feels the moment with a turn of her head,everything. Excuse me,but l'm going to go write poetry or walk into a wall.She is Eve in Eden. I'm sure l'm in love.

Sublime.

Me encanta su voz es la viva exprecion de la tranquilidad.

Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah

She is certainly a wonderful musician and singer with an angelic voice. And from the videos I've seen of her on youtube, she impresses me as being a beautiful human being -- very intelligent, sensitive, artistic.

เสียงสุดยอด

Ecco il canto della pace- Un mondo che non è estraneo all'uomo. Ma perché allora/ancora guerre?- Dolce creatura messaggero d'amore, canta/ unisci al Creato/il tuo cinguettio/e chissà che questo mondo/finalmente capisca/questa frequenza divina. Fortunato Battaglia- Cosenza- ITALIA.

Loreena's voice is so emotive and lovely .... this song, and her performance of it, truly brings me to tears.... just so achingly beautiful.

They will call him brave

Do the lyrics express the imagined longing of Penelope for her way fairing husband or Ulysses for her? Almost certainly the former. The lyrics, melody, arrangement and Ms. Mckennett's exquisite voice perfectly express the longing heart.

Восхитительная, необычная, чудесная!

so schön, so wundervoll... dieses lied und loreena...

Ουράνια μελωδία, ανείπωτη γλυκύτητα, θεϊκή αρμονία με πολύ πόνο.Ριχνω την καρδιά μου στα πόδια σου Loreena.

What a beautiful and magical song. Way go Loreena ! Your music is not from this world rather from a transcendental world.

An angel of the sky.Thank you dear Loreena!

Du bist das was das Leben ausmacht

Voz maravilhosa, melodia magnífica. A letra...

I want to hear some try to sing a song as beautiful as this today. :) She is so calm and invested in the song. That is the kind of energy I love. Very peaceful and positive.

Her music and music is truly beautiful and rich. She sings with deep feeling. I still love good rock music, but I regard Loreena's music as on a level above that, and much other music as well.

voice of the soul. ...♡

your voice is like an angel whispering in my ears.

I am glad to have experienced a concert of Loreena in Salonica Greece.

Judging from the DVD Nights at the Alhambra, her live performances and studio recordings are equally perfect.

Greece loves her

Ein Geschenk des Himmels.
Danke
für die Er-Innerung.

This is so BEAUTIFUL...I have seen her live 2 times and she is so much more than a brilliant vocalist and musician...

Love you Loreena!

Skill, tenderness, beauty, and everything else that's wonderful about being human..

Her music and her singing reaches down into the depth of the soul.

Loreena has a marvelous voice. What great musician
