I love the way Loreena weaves in the old pagen ways in many of her songs. You can still see some of the rituals she sings of played out in the rural area of England.

I was thinking about making this my ring-tone for my cell phone, but then I decided I would never answer the phone because I wouldn't want to stop this lovely song.

And actually this song was also on "Ever After" as was "Fable" by Robert Miles.

The first time I heard this song it was the theme song for a short-lived period program called "Legacy" about ten years ago. I just loved the song and my son, of the head-banging generation told me who sang it, the name of the song, the composer (Loreena wrote this), and the name of the album. Boy, was I impressed with my son's good taste in music! When I listen to this song, I just don't want it to end. Beautiful lyrics, voice, music, everything simply perfect!

I found her while looking for the song on the trailer of "Ever After." That song is "Fable" by Robert Miles, not "Mummer's Dance" as many told me. I fell in love with her!

I messed up and put this song on a 1 month hold. I love this song, please take the hold off. Thank you.
