- Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennit.
Lyrics:When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me - Hudba
My wife died young three years ago. I think about her every day. My Grace was as lovely as this song. I will always love you.

My thoughts go with you ❤️
💕
Nobody die in our hearts
Sorry
Am in awe are I read all these comments. I hope you all find happiness in your life ...
This c.d. belonged to my Son,. this song played at his funeral. He was murdered and I long for his smile, conversation, hugs, so much. Love is forever.
Bridget, I can’t imagine losing my son. I send you compassionate love and hope. Hugs to. Bless you.
A big hug for you, i am so sorry for your loss 🙏💜

It's a year later, and I hope you feel a little better. The pain will never completely go away, but it lessons with time.. God bless you ♥️🙏👉🇺🇸
😭💔💔
My son was attacked brutally and contracted sepsis from his wounds and died in ICU after six weeks of suffering. We miss him so much. He was a dear, gentle soul. We are going to play this at his funeral it is so beautiful and the words so fitting.
I am so terribly sorry for your tremendous loss of your beautiful son!! May GOD bless you always.😢
@@pennykloter1614 Thank you so much for your kind words.

Dear God. So sorry for the loss of your son and the way he suffered before he died. Parents are not supposed to bury their children 💔. A blessing? his suffering is over and he knows only joy and love and warmth in heaven 💜🌟. Thank you for sharing this 🙏

I sang this song softly to my father as he lay dying.. I hope it was absorbed into his sweet kind soul. He was the best and kindest man I have ever know. Never in all my life did I hear or see him do an unkind thing..Rip Dad..
❤
wish i had a dad like yours. you are most fortunate.
You are very lucky to have had such a wonderful father. I am happy for you. Many people have had extremely abusive fathers & mine was one of those. 💖
You brought tears to my eyes. I sang to my dying cat that was hit by a car and it is different and the same somehow.
I’m sure he heard you...
It’s been 8 years since I lost the most beautiful woman . Stunning, brilliantly smart, classy and a joy to everyone fortunate enough to have known and loved her. But as they say , the candle which burns twice as bright lasts only half as long. Sometimes those who seem the happiest are fighting unbelievable sadness inside. The day of the funeral while driving to the service, out nowhere the CD player started playing this song, all on its own. Before I realized …. It played this piece 3 times back to back , then stopped… silence. The grief in that moment was overwhelming, I had to pull over. I’m a man , and a bit of a hard ass. We don’t show a lot of emotion. We are supposed to be the source of strength . But that day on the side of a highway I wept, the pain of losing her was too much to bear. Love ya Mel … as much now as that night I proposed to you on the beach in the hurricane. I was only mad because I lost you …. It’s been years … and as much as I wish, no amount of rage or frustration can undo the past. It’s like shouting into the darkness and only hearing the echo of your own voice …. No answers . Just silence. I hope you have peace beautiful girl . I’m a better man for having loved you , and I will be forever grateful for that…….and That’s all there is now. Never forgotten .. just the love.
My dear brother in pain, she is not lost to you, only hidden. Your car radio knew she was alive on a different plane. And are you not smarter than a radio? Peace be with you
Omg your words are making me cry, Your words are straight from heaven and your loved one's heart. Thank you.
@@LYDIACORNELLCOMEDYTHERAPY God sends his angels in the strangest ways , and sometimes for whatever reason he calls them back far too soon for us. My crime was to fall in love with one of them a lifetime ago… but we move on. We have to . If life is about learning, then learning to love honestly and deeply with every heartbeat and every fibre of your being was worth the price in the end. …… I feel so bad for the kids today growing up in this sexualized instant gratification world where people are reduced to swipe right playing cards, and nobody gives a damn about anybody except for what they can get … sexually or financially or whatever. Different times I guess .
@@Cdn0069 I agree. I want kids to know true love and the innocence of romance, before even thinking about body parts. But there is always hope -- as soon as we align our thoughts with God's love and joy, the fruits of the spirit.
@@Cdn0069 And all my problems are a result of thinking about myself too much. The route to happiness is to give up selfishness. "It is by self-forgetting that we find"
Like many here. I lost my wife of 12 Years, 3 weeks ago this coming Wednesday. I live each day, one day at a time, the sorrow of her loss comes and goes. I didn't think I could lose a part of myself ever again. ( I lost my first wife of 10 years back in 1989) the irony is they were friends back then. But now having once again lost a wife. I try to live as best as I can. I keep her memory deep in my soul. And will never forget her. Love U Debbie.
As a widower I find the hurt does not stop but you learn to survive
I agree @@henryostrander6282
My mother died last night (12-18-2019) and we were listening to my "Enya" station on Pandora. This song came up when she breathed her last breaths. It felt very appropriate to listen about shedding mortal fears as my mom was passing. Her soul was escorted to the beyond with beautiful music and I have my own bittersweet memory of this song now. RIP mommy.
A little late but so sorry for the passing of your Mom, I sure wouldn't mind leaving my earthly bonds to this song.. I'm sure you've experienced all the phases of grief by now, don't be surprised if they come back round again... God Bless you always, you'll experience joy again! Prayers for you tonight. Cp
More prayers...🙏
I am sorry for your loss. May happy memories help you to overcome sad ones, one day, when you are ready.
Blessings
How beautiful and touching your words are. I had the words of Wind Beneath My Wings said at my mother's funeral. They gave me solace.
It is hard to read all this comments of people who have lost one of their beloved ones... I hope you all have found comfort... be blessed 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
❤️
The comments are simultaneously tragic and absolutely beautiful.

My dog died yesterday... it was her favorite song... :(
I am really sorry. I know the pain. My two dogs died recently. I will love them forever, beyond love. And forever. And so , as you will love your doggie too. Too short a love, but it is a love everlasting, forever
I know it's very late, but so sorry for your loss. Pets are family. They are gone but never forgotten. Wish you all the best.
I’ve read lot of comments associating this song to funerals and other sad moments. But I think that the deepest meaning of this song is a very positive one. Dante’s travel to Inferno, Purgatory and Heaven is an ascent from the darkness to the bright light. A travel of the mind that regards more life than death. Dante, after his journey, is ready to live fully and free from the grief of his loss of his beloved Beatrice.
mattiamacgregor Dante's Inferno trip has surely hurt the truth of life and death for centuries. Eternal torments for finite sins? You like this idea? No thank you. I prefer to see a universal God of mercy who takes us all back in and mean ALL.
It seems to me a song of acceptance. The calm after the terrible storm, the silence after the battle. I don't think those wishing it for their final rite mean for it to be sad. It's more of a going to their rest, their peace, and to comfort those who remain in the fray of life. At least that's what the song makes me feel.
And I think many people miss that the refrain is meant to be God's response to the prayer of the singer.
That actually is the message of a funeral exactly as you articulated. As a Reverend I’m always stunned by the fact that as believers all profess a profound belief in “heaven” and a blissful afterlife with God. We all want to go there apparently but no one wants to die. Is that the result of a profound misperception of the afterlife or a complete misunderstanding of the nature of death?
@@The6zero4 uh. That's insightful. We all want to go but we don't want to die. Seems like a reflection of today's age, no? We want the results without spending the effort for it? Immediate gratification and all that. Cheers.
@ Mary McReynolds
sins are lack of love...and when we can't feel love or simply love...we create our own inferno....May life be good for you!
"When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars"
I wish that everyone would have the blessing to experience such kind of love,so bright and uplifting to show the way out of the dark night of the soul.
Not going into the backstop By a miracle from GOD this song stopped me from taking my life
This song came to me at a trying time in my life,, I decided to leave my longtime hangout, and in turn, all my friends, found out I had so very few. Soon after, Covid hit! Turned my life upside down! More isolation! Suddenly, all my hangouts were closed. Coffee shops, libraries, even the beaches for God's sake! But this time, instead of going into despair, seeing that big changes were afoot, I rolled with it. And God began to bless me more and more! With knowledge, ( I had Alot of downtime,, and I didn't spend it watching cat videos) and, as it turns out, being as I ended up in a shelter, a place to live! I try to remember to thank God every day! This song was a part of my journey, and it's about a journey, the roads that life can take you down. It's all in the perspective! She actually wrote it on a long train ride across Europe, I believe the Orient express, It's about life from her perspective, a beautiful piece of music to be sure!.. God bless! ♥️🙏🇺🇸

Thank God brother
I hope you're still here ❤
21 years ago i heard this song for the first time. 21 years ago i buried my first son. a woman named Galen helped me work through the pain of his murder. so this is a special song for me.
Nice story you got there buddy could please tell me which movie did you watch?
I weep from within for you, the seed atom of the heart is indestructible. ღ 🌷🌼🌸❀✿ x
My worst fear.
I suggest you to drink #ayahuasca so you can solve this problem! Karmic Regards!
A hug from afar. With love.
This is literally the most beautiful song I have ever heard, and ever will be.
Yes, for me too
Yes, same here.
I dedicate this to my mom who recently died from cancer. RIP
F, my dude
A beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss.
Thinking of you I lost my dad to cancer in 2016 my mum passed in 2008 massive heart attack and I miss them so much it hurts just heard this song 10 minutes ago and it’s floored me I can hardly see typing this. I will think of you and pray. I’m struggling at the moment and hoping that it will pass it was hard enough with my mum but then my dad who I looked up to after her death and was my rock I watched him just before he passed he didn’t linger or suffer and I thank the heavens for that i wish that they where here but I guess life has other plans and they’re up there waiting for me when it’s my turn I will remember them until that day and do what my dad asked just before he passed to be happy without him. It was the only thing he ever asked me and I struggle because he didn’t know that he was what made me happy and my mum they where my gold in life. Cherish every moment with loved ones forget hatred try to forgive pasts and make each day as happy as it can be. Life is too short x sending love to everyone 🥰
May her soul rest in peace brother.
Bless you...
I lost the love of my life nine years ago and this song reminded me so much of her I wept.

My Mom passed this past Saturday morning the 5th of November though my heart is sad she will live in me and all our wonderful memories we spent together. This song will be played at her memorial. God's speed Mom we'll see each other on the great day of our Lords Glory ... I will never forget your lessons nor your love for your family ❤️
May God give you peace and hope.
I lost a sister, a brother and my maman these past 3 years. I still yearn for them. Only God gives comfort.
❤️

When my soul needs healing,I listen to Dante's Prayer.
me also
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I lost my mother one year ago, and 3 friends during the pandemic. My precious younger brother too, years ago. This song makes me think of them, We played this at my wedding. We started at 1:23 with the beautiful cello part. The marriage didn't last but this song has always been my favorite. It makes me cry for the human race, and for anyone who has lost loved ones. I can't stop crying reading the beautiful comments below. Love is all there is.
blessings
I dedicate this to my husband of 18 years who passed away 4 years ago who will always be my soulmate till we meet again in heaven.
I hadn't heard the song before and put it on. A friend had died and I was looking over my balcony at the shore of the ocean. There two new born fawns were running around in a carefree bliss of pure unbound life. Loreena's voice came on and it was the hardest thing to contain the sorrow, the joy and the beauty. I broke and let it all flow through me like nectar through a cloth of fine gold.
The first time I heard this song, I was playing the CD in my car. I got so overwhelmed that I had to pull off the road so I could cry. Never had a piece of music do that to me before.
I want this played at my funeral.....
Katy D oh my gosh, that's one of the first thoughts I had when I first heard DP all the way through: as I was crying I thought, this is what I want played at my funeral. It's just so beautiful. I first heard part of it when I turned the TV channel to the ice skating events in the Olympics. One of the skaters (I believe it was Michelle Kwan) was using this song to perform to. Just incredible.
Katy D I know how you feel, I did the same also, It touches your soul.. 🙏🏻
This song makes me stronger everytime I listen to it when crying.
Katy D I chose this song when I lost my little girl and I always think of her somewhere warm sunny bright and on a beach with the ocean where she can be happy I'm even crying now such a beautiful song
Katy D me too✝️
Not to sound too sad, but being of Irish and Scandinavian descent, I want this song to play when I pass away. It is so beautiful and resonates with me, heart and soul. I love the coast, no matter where it may be located. Lorena McKennot sings like a true angel. God Bless everyone. Love and light.
God bless your compassionate heart,
May your wish be granted by your loving survivors. This song was also my fiance's send-off song and I play it every time I visit her. My sweetheart passed away in 09 2 days after I proposed to her from a brain aneurysm, and her ashes were scattered into the sea.
This song is a masterpiece composed by a goddess
So perfectly said Raziel
She is that.
I fell in love with a man with cancer. love had no boundaries or conditions. Love with everything in you for as long as you can. I love this song, it speaks of so much.
Dear Jeanette, I pray for both of you. Please keep strong and fight with hope. I lost an important person to me for cancer. Never regret to love someone, life is hard but can give you so much joy, in the little things of days. My best wishes...I send you a big hug, my dear strong Woman.
Jeanette Degiulio "Love with everything in you for as long as you can." 😥😌😇
Beautiful words Jeanette
Wow, I'd like that someone be brave like you, to be capable of see through my body and see how deep could love... thanks for let me know that people as I imagine exist.
What a wise loving soul you are.
Remember, how precious 💞 our lives are🎉
I am attempting to rebuild my life after covid. My prayers go out. Please, but, only if you feel it... pray for US
For me, this is one of McKennitt's most achingly beautiful songs.
Played this song anchored out of sight of land in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by more stars than I’ve ever seen before. It was almost overwhelming.
that sounds so beautiful!!!
What an experience it must have been!!
This is stunningly beautiful. At the beginning is a Russian Orthodox choir singing "Behold, the Bridegroom comes at Midnight." It's a beautiful, solemn hymn which we sing in the Orthodox Church during Holy Week. Many people who don't consider themselves religious or Christian can feel the calling deep in their souls hearing the Ancient chants of the Orthodox church. It's surreal.
Behold, the Bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom he shall find watching, and again unworthy is the servant whom he shall find heedless. Beware, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, lest you be given up to death, and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. But rouse yourself, singing, Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O our God. Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us. ♥ ☦ ♥
You do understand the juxtaposition, right?
Imagine for a moment the situation: at that time, it was four years since the fall of the Soviet Union. Siberia was an inhospitable place in which many people had died during the Stalinist deportations. In Siberia many fields of the Gulag were installed, which made it a hell for hundreds of thousands of human beings, with episodes as frightening as that of the Road of the Bones.
My relatives were some of the people in those gulags. 17 motherfucking years my grandfather spent there. Fuck Russia, and Fuck the Orthodox Church. Do you know how they treated Jews throughout history? Fucking monstrous organization.
@@ptanyuh I'm so sorry your family went through this. I cannot account for any of those atrocities, but I can say that mistreatment of other people is not something Orthodox Christians, or the Church, do or support. Many people were thrown into the Gulags simply for being Christian, just as the Jewish people were persecuted for their faith by Hitler during WWII. This is not faith, nor the work of the church, it's Godlessness at the hands of power hungry men. People who truly believe in God, whether Jewish or Christian, don't seek to harm others. The gulags were horrific, and unfortunately seemingly forgotten by much of Western Society, especially here in America. Many remember of the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis, but seem to have a short memory when it comes to the way the Communists treated Christian people, or anyone who spoke against the government. It was truly terrible.
amen!
Thank you for explaining this! Added a whole new depth for me and I've been listening to this song for over 20 years!
Kitty Letko yes! I think in this perspective, the sorrow comes from the experience in hell, the descent.. to know the darkness well and then to rise into the light is a sorrow so great because it causes regret.. at least for me. This song is almost a kind of love song to god from a mournful heart. It’s so beautiful.. gods love is mercy in a dark world unmatched by the love any man could give you. Mans love falters where gods love never could
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, Loreena McKennitt est avant tout une compositrice d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde 🎉🎊
"We are not our bodies; we are that which gives life to the body. What we truly are never dies." Alverto Taxo, Taita Iachak, Ecuador. Chief Seattle: "There is no death; there is only a change of worlds."

Five minutes after it ended and I'm still saying wow
Edit: Three months later, still saying wow.
Lol
Hits me like a ton of bricks, every freaking time..👍👍
"I tilled at the sorrows of stone"
There is magical, transportive power in a song. --Combinations of notes played or sung that can reduce us to something utterly guileless and vulnerable.
I listened to Dante's Prayer on my drive back home to Apple Valley, CA, from the Bay Area in January of 2004, where I had gone 4 days earlier to comfort my step-mom and to grieve with her following my father's death 4 days before. I was southbound on Tehachapi Pass, enshrouded in literal and emotional fog when Dante’s Prayer came on my car's sound system. As the chorus began to sing, the fog cleared just a little and mid-morning sunrays sliced through onto a spot on the green hills flanking the freeway.
I was struck by the reality that my father was gone, and he was gone forever. I continued driving through a flood of my tears, trying to conceive how to live with gone forever, then felt a measure of relief, of grace, to think that he was now that light slicing through the fog on my journey home.
I learned something about grieving after my father's passing. It took my breath away, and I don't mean that in a metaphorical sense. I forgot how to breathe and set about with breath-counting exercises, to keep the machinery working until my new normal kicked in and breathing became automatic again.
I learned that I could never grieve like that again, which helped me when my son, Calvin, died in 2012. Because sometimes you just know. Grieving must be managed to be survived, sometimes.
--Music as emotional memory dredge, this song is for me.
Thank you for your thoughts. Such a long journey this life we have I appreciate you sharing your perspective. Keep grieving, my step mom didn’t and it’s seriously harmed several lives
So sorry for your loss.
Jana - May you find comfort and strength in good memories and faith.
I lost my soul mate one September years ago and my youngest son just 6 months later…pained to breathless it took a long while before I finally realized…nothing can remove them from my past or future…I’m living in the present until I get to go Home too! I hope you will look for joy in the present too🙏🏼
Those are the most touching words I've ever heard...
Saw Loreena in person Butler University.
Had an amazing time when someone introduced me to Loreena’s music. I have never been the same. The ache is still with me with no one to share this side of life with me. Have a couple of college degrees but my Bachelor of Music is my favorite. Have written some music, studied conducting for a while with a Russian conductor, am a pilot. But, nothing has filled that void that passion introduced me to so long ago. Passion is still alive but the flame is flickering… waiting…
Love your music Loreena. ❤
when i'm listening to this song I feel the soul of my father behind my shoulder, I feel him.
3:44 gets me every time . This song saved my life , I must have listened to it over a hundred times & cried a river of healing in the process . Just got back from seeing her and her entourage at The Royal Albert Hall, Thank You Loreena , I am eternally grateful.
I envy you! Would love to see her here in the states.
Wow, your comment on how this song saved your life really touched me. It saved my life too. Thank you.
When I first listened this song I was in bed, tenderly embraced to my girlfriend. This song made that moment special, nearly divine, difficult to explain. But, at the same time, it made me think about the precariousness if this life, in which, every thing, bad or good, ends inavoidably to disappear. bittersweet would be the taste of this song, like bittersweet is the life. Amen
So true
to much information dear
Precarious, indeed. "This, too, shall pass" applies to both the good and the difficult. My fourth husband was the love of my life. It was both wonderful and difficult. I lost him just before the pandemic shutdown. Yesterday would have been our fourth anniversary.
@@ritacouchcooper2842 So sorry to read of your loss Many of the posts relating to this song are very moving and it awakes ones awareness of how precious life is
I have played this song at two different memorial services. It is profoundly & deeply spiritual and touches everyone present at the very core of their soul.
"Please remember me." At the end of our days, it is the essence of our final request to our loved ones. Loreena captures it all in this bittersweet draught of final farewell.
Another masterpiece by this incomparable musician...
One of the most incredible songs I have EVER heard.
And I am a hard rock / metal fan and guitar player.
I love heavy metal, too, but have very eclectic musical tastes, and Loreena McKennitt has sung some of the best songs I've ever heard, such as "Beneath a Phyrgian Sky" and "The Mystics' Dream".
Amen, Parker. So am I, and this song never stops bringing my heart to a standstill to listen in awe. I am a flute player though...
This song transcends any musical genre. It is true emotion at its purest.
so what! nobody's perfect! Nice year 2019.....
Awesome I know right?
N'est il pas un trésor musical avec Loreena, j'avoue je plonge avec délectation d'une écoute et rêvons avec ce qu'elle nous offre, une voix, des paroles, comment ne pas aimer ☺️🙏❤️
This song goes right through my heart.
So haunting and beautiful words which speak to me. ❤
I was given this song by a beautiful close friend, she said "this is you Dante, you'll never know how bright you shine in the darkness, guiding others through the night, giving away hope like it's Christmas. You can't see your own light, I wish you did, I pray for you, one day Dante."
I get it, but so often I don't see it. I feel the fool, stumbling in the dark searching for the light, trapped in a hell of my own creation, for what is hell, but our own construct? Forever seeking the light of hope, to find the path.
This amazingly beautiful song reminds me of a painful moment in my personal life, which happened to coincide with the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers. I'd listen to it often in search of inner peace. I'm listening to again today, twenty years later, with tears in my eyes, thinking of the people who lost their lives on that day and how my life also took a sharp turn from that moment on. Blessing and best wishes to everyone 🙏🏿💪🏿

This song always makes me cry.
When the dawn seemed forever lost you showed your love in the light of the stars
"When the dark night seems endless please remember me..."
Every time I hear this song, my body freezes up. I can feel my heart racing and then I cry. This song haunts me. It's like traveling on a spiritual journey just to be face to face with GOD. So difficult to explain. It's like a birth.....something you want to touch for the first time and hold it forever. Someone you loved but never want to lose. Treasured the moments guys......
when the dark wood fell before me.
And all the paths were overgrown.
When the priests of pride say there is no other way.
I tilled the sorrows of stone.
I did not believe because I could not see.
Though you came to me in the night.
When the dawn seemed forever lost.
You showed me your love in the light of the stars.
Cast your eyes on the ocean.
Cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless.
Please, remember me.
Then the mountain rose before me.
By the deep well of desire.
From the fountain of forgiveness.
Beyond the ice and the fire.

Cast your eyes on the ocean.
Cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless.
Please, remember me.
Though we share this humble path, alone.
How fragile is the heart.
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly.
To touch the face of the stars.
Breathe life into this feeble heart.
Lift this mortal veil of fear.
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears.
We'll rise above these earthly cares.
Cast your eyes on the ocean.
Cast your soul to the sea.
When the dark night seems endless.
Please, remember me...
Please, remember me...
Thank you so much for the lyrics.
Simply put...AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING SONG!!!
I could listen to her CD over & over.
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Ive spoken to her over 10 years ago over aim back when it was a thing...lorrena mckennet is a really sweet lady...and not at all what i expected when i started talking to her
❣
One of the most magical song!
Beautiful....swett....magic....
I want this played at my memorial someday I plan to be cremated and my ashes scattered at sea, the ocean was my favorite place to visit so many happy memories there. My husband and I use to take our beloved dog to the store with us before his untimely passing. I believe in spirit I will walk with him again someday and my husband too when we're both old and feeble We will be restored to our youthful selfs.
My father gave me one of his cds to listen to in 1993 while we went on a long trip to ignore my brothers he said I would like McKinnett. He passed away a month ago. Music was our special thing we shared from my earliest memory of dancing on his feet to Lynyrd Skynyrd Tuesdays gone to Loreena McKinnett. Never thought this song would hold so much pain and love than it does right now.
All those people through history. People the same as us. Where did they go? Where do we go? 'Please remember me'
I asked my son to play this at my funeral. I want to be buried at sea. He said that he hopes that it will be many many years before he has to play it.
AMEN
I dedicate this to my lovely grandmother who passed away a few days ago, from phenumonia. She used to love this song so much, and so do I now also. Xx RIP ❤️
I feel you
Loreena is a fantastic artist. Her voice is amazing and the music she write comes from Heaven...
Sometimes by way of old poetry?
This song has such a powerful impact on my heart and soul. Such a powerful song to release grief when it needs to come. Sending love to all dear hearts grieving over lost loves. For me, it is archetypal...it feels like the masculine aspect of consciousness walking through time and space in his struggle and then the divine feminine reaching back to him from her place of infinite love in the cosmos also, the holy divine mother reaching out to her human child who, on this fallen Earth, has had to walk alone here. But this is all changing as the veil between Earth and heaven are Dissolving! Love to all!!!
i've always thought Adam and Eve were in this together.
There is something truly special about this song compared to all other Loreena McKennit songs. It's like it touched a core part of my soul, something beyond my realm of thought.
I lost the love of my life long ago - most of my blood kin are gone as well - and I never had any children - so when I am gone , No One will Remember Me
I will remember you Mike ! I have taken a screenshot of your CZcams comment . Peace be with you ...
@@peterlittle123 Thank you , my friend

@@peterlittle123 That's very poetic - thank you - greetings from America 🇺🇸
Hi Mike , should you be reading this again , I was actually looking for a nice song to be played at my funeral . I had originally picked out I'll find my way home by Jon & Vangelis and Bird of Paradise by Snowy White . Dante's Prayer is the best song I have heard , so this will be number 1 . If it hadn't been found on it on CZcams I wouldn't have had a chat with you . I am not in the best of health at the moment . Hope to chat with you again . Very Kind Regards
I have been in a dark place a bit too long. This hits home
Love song Dantes Prayer love Loreena McKennit
It is my late husband’s birthday this week. He passed in 2012 of stage 4 cancer after our 8 year healing journey, leaving me in debts with 8 children.
I move into a cheaper area and rental house this week but feel blessed by being near our children and granddaughter. And more pristine nature, Berkshires…empty nester finally. Better jobs for me as an art educator up there near several lovely museums. ❤
Thoughts and prayers my friend, she watches over you!🍀
quite possibly the greatest song ever made
Songs this graceful and emotion-laden are uncommon...but they're Loreena McKennitt's special province. She's a unique talent.
Though we share this humble path, alone... how fragile is the heart...

This song breaks my heart
Mine too. It always gets me in a way very few other songs can.
Same here :(
Me too....
but for a very good reason...
to the ones i love who are no longer here and to my grandma who is slowly fading away
Loreena is the most complete woman. Nobody did better.
Only a ANGEL like her can reach the PERFECTION, the INSUPERABLE.
LOREENA is IMMORTAL.
She belongs to the PARADISE.LOREENA is a CELESTIAL MUSE.
She is the music QUEEN. GODESS of the human heart. GODESS of sensivity.
LOREENA forever, for the eternity. Ever and ever. Oh, beloved GODDESS.

It's been half year - I remember of you, Daddy...
Every time I listen to this I transform into a sea of tears....
I am not a religious individual but find immense beauty in its meaning, as put into context by Loreena herself.
I myself am not as such a Christian as I have my own belief. But this song is soothing for all who believe or want to believe in a higher spiritual reality and/or who are strugling in life (aren't we all?) After having studied Christianity and other religions I have found that none of them seem perfect but most of them have much good in them. For me love for both yourself and other living beings, spirituality, higher realities, prayers/meditation and good deeds are important. Bless you all.
Loreena isnt even christian either. Shes apart of OBAD, the order of ovates, bards, and druids, a pagan organization, lol 😛 shes just very versatile in her music
I was telling the same: Loreena is Pagan and not Christian. Good taste in music and beauty is not only a Christian characteristic! 😉
@@joaopires3605 correct! From my personal experience, pagans have great taste in music! ;)
Windamor-Ask God for a "Born Again " experience. John 3:7
when I listen to that, I feel my dad soul next to me, when I feel down and I need him i always listen this prayer...
To me this is a song of gratitude.
It made me think of my most beloved dog Mini that died last year. Still have an aching heart and now fresh tears.
Liebe Mama,
heute ist dein Geburtstag und ich vermisse dich sehr! Immer wenn ich diese Lied höre, fließen die Tränen in strömen. In 2 Tagen werde ich heiraten und ich wünschte du wärst an diesem Tag an meiner Seite... Egal was jemals zwischen uns vorgefallen ist - du bist mein Mama und ich deine Tochter! Du fehlst... deine Linda
PLEASE REMEMBER ME
Без понимания прошлого, нельзя творить будущее.
You know, until 3 months ago, I thought Loreena McKennit was a good singer and musician. I obviously wasn't paying attention. Now I realize she reaches into your soul.
I heard this when Michelle Kwan used this wonderful song as part of her skating program. This song always calm me and uplifted my spirits. Thank you for such a wonderful song.
I feel so touched that I could not hold my tears, its like an Angel singing sweet melody to me telling me about life and love in the face of difficulties and disappointment
Ömrüm boyu unutmayacağım bir sevginin en büyük hatırasıdır bu şarkı.
I absolutely LOVE this song and singer~
Loreena's MASTERPIECE - spirituality pure : inspired by Dante's "Paradise"
(Il Paradiso - La Divina Commedia). Just wonderful : what a great musician, singer and poet she is - this is real ART !
one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever.
perfect words,well said,thats how i feel about it.This will be my funeral song
Oh yes
This is my first ever comment on CZcams probably (maybe I did another one at some point) just wanted to say this is the most wholesome heartwarming comment section ever. It's awesome to know this. song means so much for so many people
I have no story to accompany this song. Sometimes I just need to sob.
It was by this piece of music I got hooked to Loreena McKennit. I have not been able to get unhooked since.
It is from 1997 and I still get tears in my eyes, everytime I listen to it.
... please remember me... ... please remember me... (how beautiful those words are)
In case anyone is wondering, the intro sequence is actually a Russian hymn called "Alleluia, Behold the Bridegroom." And you can easily find a 5 1/2 minute version of it right here on YT.
While teaching English in Korea I used to play this song a lot. I would put it on repeat and listen to it over and over. I thought about the ocean nearby and about my friends and family across the ocean, on the other side.
This is the song of my life. It describes a dream I had with Jesus. I can't hear without cry. Flávia, from Brazil.
lindo relato
Magnificence et beauté parfaite, qu'elle artiste.. merci beaucoup..
le plus beau de la mystérieuse musique irlandaise dans sa transcendance..👼🏽🍀🌟good st.Patrick
I love this song cos part of this song reminds me of my little girl that past away 3 years ago
May God be with her and may you're grief someday turn to joy when you see her next.
Eduardo Almendares Im so sorry for your loss.
@@jamesbates7457 amen
My deepest condolences. I too know that unbearable pain of losing my daughter. I would gladly take her place as her love for the world was endless.
Today, I decided to part ways with a beloved friend who had been my only dim light throughout the depths of my depression. I'll stop tormenting you, but please, at least, please remember me with the smiles I tried to put on your face, instead if the grimace I've given you.
Beautiful. Close death near; this offers consolation.....we do loose loved ones but their souls live on through us. Makes me cry...... mother, son , loved ones, holly are thou names
