The term ‘the old ways’ holds special meaning – to the very proud Irish people, the old ways refers to a rich and vanished history and culture, including the language, religion, writing, myth, and cultures as well.
As the composer of this beautiful and haunting song, this is what Loreena herself says about ‘The Old Ways’: “I spent a most haunting New Year’s Eve in Doolin, County Clare, Ireland some years ago, and was moved by the antiquity of some of the celebrations. Yet I was met by deep reminders that they may be the remnants of the old world meeting the “new”.” – L.M.
