Ok So I'm going to start on the Gaelic Music Video Competition. Firstly, here is a link to the song to listen to. Its down at the bottom and entitled " Clann a’ Ghreusaiche". The whole song is in Gaelic but non-Gaelic speakers can enter too. I have a copy of the words in English and its about the island that she loves, Raasay and her family even though they are far away.
Here are the lyrics:
1. Take my greeting over the Sound
Over to the green island that I love
Near the misty mountainous island (Skye)
Dun Caan is under the clouds
2. The little island is so famous
Raasay is my love
Clachan, Oscaig, Manitoba
Fladda, Torran, up to Rona
3. Clan MacLeod will be there forever
The Shoemaker’s clan are my family
After the war you took the land
There was no one in the area left wanting
4. Sorley, spread you poetry
The Cullins and Hallaig
Calum, come up the road
From the castle up to Arnish
5. A big family, of high standing and renown
Three sisters, six brothers
We are spread throughout the country
But our blessings and our greetings go to the island
Its a beautiful, soft song with a sweet melody and silky voices. I want to have a similar effect in the video. For this video I plan to focus on Timing, Rhythm, Harmony that has been applied in constructing the song and apply these characteristics to my video.
