This week's Great Music Monday selection comes from the group Celtic Woman and is sung by Lisa Kelly accompanied by Mairead Nesbitt on the violin.
The song is "The Voice" and was the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 Winner.
From Wiki: "Lyrically, it is a very Celtic-inspired song, with the singer portraying herself as "the voice" which watches over the world, describing "her" effects on the natural world, such as the wind, the seasons, in a similar way to Mother Nature. It is of a folk style..."
As sung by Kelly, it is haunting and amazing at the same time.
If you ever have an opportunity to go to their show-it is absolutely worth the money, as the cd's and dvd's don't really do justice.
And as always, please leave suggestions in the comments.

For next week I think you need to do something different. Look up the song La Maladie D'Amour. It's a haunting french song from the 70's. And the title in english is "The Sickness of Love" I don't know very much french but from what I can get, this song is about how love can make or break you.
Anywho, check it out!
"The Voice" is indeed absolutely amazing. And after having attended 11 --11!-- different Celtic Woman concerts over their past four years or so of touring and still feeling absolutely enthralled each time I attend a concert, I can definitely vouch for how they have the ability to touch your heart in ways you never could imagine.
