Any Loreena McKennitt fans out there? I'm listening to "The Mask and

[joeybee12]

Mirror" right now.

I still think that her best is "The Lady of Shallot" on "The Visit", but "Dark Night of the Soul" is just heart-breaking!

[KG]

1. me!

she needs to sate us fans with some new music!

[joeybee12]

8. Yeah!

Now that I've started playing this cd, I think I'll play everything all day long!

[ZombieNixon]

2. Right here, baby!

[joeybee12]

9. I hear she has a big following in Europe!

Another instance where the Old World is actually ahead of us!

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Me too!!!

I wish she'd do something new...it's been years.

[KG]

4. another worshipper of the true goddess

:hi:

[joeybee12]

7. Goddess is right!

Her voice is very "other-wordly" don't you think?

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. You have excellent taste in music....

:hi:

[joeybee12]

5. Yeah, I did a search to see if there was anything new!

Nope!:cry:

[joeybee12]

10. Maybe we can start a letter-writing campaign to her!

God, I'd buy anything new by her in an instant!

[NJCher]

6. Love Loreena

Cher

[joeybee12]

11. I always knew you had taste!

:hi:

[LynzM]

12. I enjoy her stuff

The first song I knew by her was "the Highwayman". Haunting, that. I don't own any of her CDs, but I listen to her a lot online!

[joeybee12]

13. Yeah, The Highwayman is great---I think it's very typical of most

of her songs--that haunting feel. Have you heard "The Lady of Shallot." I think I'll go find Tennyson's poem at the libarry now--the words are from the poem of the same name--she just did the music.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. Highwayman is great, I used to read that poem to my daughter

my mother read it to us
her mother read it to her


so when my daughter got that CD, after she had listened to it once, she plugged in the earphones, dragged me into her room to listen,

and grinned in delight when she saw the look on my face when I recognized the poem.

[joeybee12]

34. Her best stuff seems to be poems set to music...this and The Lady of

Shallot are one-derful! I have it on right now!

[Doctor_J]

38. True

Lady... Stolen Child, Dark Night of the Soul - all poems put to music. What a voice.

[Lorien]

14. When is she ever going to come out with a new CD?

It's been years since the last one. :shrug:

[joeybee12]

15. Yeah, and I think that last one was her ""Live in Paris & Toronto" one...

...nothing new on that--a great cd, but alas, no new songs.

[auntAgonist]

16. add me to the list!

I love her music.


fine Canadian gal she is!!

[joeybee12]

17. Yeah, I actually discovered her on a trip to Vancouver once...

...never heard of her here in the states. We're philistines!

[auntAgonist]

[joeybee12]

22. You knwo, I bet it's gonna still be years!

She's not at all commerically driven, so however long it takes her to write and record, she'll take that time. At least there's something int he future to look forward to.

Thanks for the update!

[HamstersFromHell]

19. Love her!

Got hooked when they used part of "The Mask And The Mirror" as the opening soundtrack to the movie "Jade" (movie kinda stank, but I was enthralled to stick to read the credits to find out how sang that song.)

[joeybee12]

21. Was that the movie with David Caruso?

Yeah, heard that really, really stunk!

[HamstersFromHell]

23. You got it!

Basically it was "Basic Instinct 2" with non-sex sex scenes and a lot of boredom.

[joeybee12]

25. He left NYPD Blue for that!

Big mistake...of course, now he's back on television!

[Jackpine Radical]

39. I love her eerie style.

Sometimes like the wind, sometimes like a lost soul, sometimes like a banshee.

[kitkatrose]

24. I love her to death!!!!!!!

:loveya: I first heard her song "The Mummer's Dance" on this one-shot sitcom, "Legacy", I think it was. I just fell in love. I watched the show just to hear the theme song. :)

[joeybee12]

26. I think "The Mummer's Dance"...which I have on right now!...was used

somewhere else as well. Can't think of where and when, though!

[KG]

27. i think i heard it used at the opening of a 'tombstone' episode.

[ZombieNixon]

28. They used it in the previews for "Ever After."

Didn't use it in the movie, tho'. The Single version was a minor radio hit for a while.

[joeybee12]

29. Ever After is what I'm thinking of...never saw Tombstone, though...

...Didn't the single make the top 40--the only song of her's that ever did!

[ZombieNixon]

30. Yep.

[New Earth]

31. ooo mee

i like her too. i haven't heard all of her stuff yet, but i have Book of Secrets - which i actually lost, and i need a new one :cry:

she is damn good :loveya:

[joeybee12]

32. I started this post earlier today, and I've been listening to her all day!

I have everyting of her's--granted, that's only 7 cds, but still....

[Swede]

35. I'm a big fan.

She does a great version of "Greensleaves".

[joeybee12]

43. Yeah, it's right after The Lady of Shallot...it seems to be well placed in

the cd...what I mean is it's a good song to follow Lady of Shallot. Sort of flows.

[JI7]

36. she is wonderful

listening to her music makes you feel like you are in a whole other world.

[joeybee12]

42. Yeah, I think the best word to describe her voice is etheral...

...that word seems to be bounced around a little too much, but it's appropriate here!

[Doctor_J]

37. Dark Night Of The Soul

one of the most beautiful pieces of music recorded over the last 15 years. Listen to it with headphones some time.

[joeybee12]

40. I'm re-playing that cd right now--just passed that cut...

...truly haunting.

[Blue-Jay]

41. I like the stuff she recorded with the Chieftains

Aside from that, not so much. Sleepytime.

[joeybee12]

44. Booooooooooooooooooooo!

What cd is that stuff on?
