LOREENA MCKENNITT ALL SOULS NIGHT LIVE

Hi, from now on, the clip of the week will have a listening exercise to you, so you can practice your listening and vocabulary.

This week, I chose this beautiful song from Loreena Mckennitt. Famous by bringing us celtic songs and stories. I was inspired by Halloween atmosphere. A mythic climate here!

I used to listen to her musics almost every day and I real love them! Hope you like it too. The concert is beautiful and alive.

A waltz on All Souls Night.

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides

To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Standing on the bridge that crosses
The _______________ that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.

CHORUS

I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.

CHORUS

I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night
