Two sets of six songs that are always on my Merriman playlist:
Vocal
Vienna Teng - The Atheist Christmas Carol
It's the season of scars and of wounds in the heart
Of feeling the full weight of our burdens
It's the season of bowing our heads in the wind
And knowing we are not alone in fear
Not alone in the dark
Anuna - Winter, Fire and Snow
And you, little son, come safely home
Riding the tail of the wind
May you always come this safely home
In winter, fire and snow
Loreena McKennit - The Old Ways
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
And I wondered why
Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game
Imtheochaidh a dtáinig ariamh
An duine óg is a cháil ne dhiadh(I will go wherever he came from
The young man with his reputation behind him)
Ffynnon - Hiraeth Am Feirion (Longing for Meirionydd)
Gwynt o'r mor a hael o'r fynydd
Cerrig llwydion lle roedd coedydd
A gwylanod yn lle dynion
Och dduw pa fodd na thorrai nghalon?(Wind on the sea and sun on the mountain
Grey stones in the place of trees
And gulls in place of men
Oh God, why does my heart not break?)
Annie Lennox - Into the West
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west
Instrumental/Choral
