A Jewel in the World of Music

Breaking the Silence

A change is slow in coming
My eyes can scarcely see
The rays of hope come streaming
Through the smoke of apathy

But oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within

Music and lyrics by Loreena McKennitt
From: Parallel dreams (1989)
Written as a tribute to Amnesty International

One of my favorite singers is Loreena McKennett. I've always loved and been surrounded by music and naturally,when we had children, my intent was to share that love of music with them. I stumbled upon Loreena Mckennett's CD's after reading a descriptive of one in a catalogue and immediately fell in love with the style,lyrics, musicality and forays into other worlds and experiences they brought. Each album is a journey to a distant land and time from the Celts to the Byzantine Empire, Mongolia and beyond.
