已确定的曲目是：The Gates of Istanbul（伊斯坦布尔之门）Caravanserai（商队客栈）The English Ladye and the Knight（一对因爱结合而终被战争分隔的爱人） Penelope's song（希腊神话中奥狄索斯的妻子，他离开她20年，而佩内洛普却一直对她忠贞不渝）Never-ending Road（无尽的路）谣传（未证实）的曲目：Incantation（咒语）Sacred Shabbat（神圣的安息日）Beneath a Phrygian Sky（弗里畿亚的天空下）Kecharitomene（Full of Grace）括号里是曲名的相关解释（本人的拙见，不一定准确），这些词大部分都很少见，而且背后包含了许多典故和传说。

万分期待

就是就是，等了好久了的，期待中。希望又是一张经典专集，LOREENA

新专辑An Ancient Muse的曲目已经确定： 1 Incantation 2 The Gates Of Istanbul 3 Caravanserai 4 The English Ladye And The Knight 5 Kecharitomene 6 Penelope's Song 7 Sacred Shabbat 8 Beneath A Phrygian Sky 9 Never-Ending Road美国特别版包含第10首附加歌曲：10 Raglan Road（Loreena在西班牙演唱会上唱的一首歌，据说非常出色）

Raglan Road是一首传统曲目阿石头眼泪那张专辑里有，不知道loreena会演绎成什么样？期待！

是的，Raglan Road是首传统爱尔兰民谣，前一阵子去过Loreena的西班牙演唱会的人都说她演唱得非常出色。

Quinlan Road已经放出新专辑的试听。感觉这张专辑和Book of Secrets有些像，但是仅凭一分钟的试听实在是说不出什么。只能说我很喜欢Penelope's Song和Never-ending Road，2首十分忧伤的歌。尤其是Never-ending Road，恐怕是为她死去的爱人所作，当她唱到“Here's my heart I give it to you. Take me with you across this land...”，再加上凄凉的风笛…… 实在是让人流泪的一首歌。另外，Caravanserai是首十分出色的快节奏歌曲，对应上张专辑的The Mummers' Dance。The English Ladye and the Knight还没有试听，我想肯定也是一首关于爱与分离的忧伤的歌。

歌词Incantation演奏曲The Gates of Istanbul词/曲：Loreena McKennittSee there, past that far-off hillA tower held in the skyHear there, in that dark blue nightThe music calling us homeSee there, in that far-off fieldFlowers turned to the skyFeel there, in that dark blue nightThe music calling us homeStars may always guide our way,From desert sands where winds blow harsh and longBut here’s where our hearts will prayAnd all our loves will slumber with a songStars may always guide our way,From desert sands where the winds blow harsh and longBut here’s where our hearts will prayAnd all our loves will slumber with a songSo now, if our hearts be trueAnd like a pool of truth reflect the sunWe will find right honour thereAnd keep us safe and lead us from all harmThen come love, let us dance all nightUntil birds they waken at the dawnThen come love, let us sing all nightAnd all our loves will slumber with a songThen come love, let us dance all nightUntil birds they waken at the dawnThen come love, let us sing all nightAnd all our loves will slumber with a songCaravanserai词/曲：Loreena McKennittThis glancing life is like a morning starA setting sun, or rolling waves at seaA gentle breeze or lightning in a stormA dancing dream of all eternityThe sand was shimmering in the morning lightAnd dancing off the dunes so far awayThe night held music so sweet, so longAnd there we lay until the break of dayWe woke that morning at the onward callOur camels bridled up, our howdahs fullThe sun was rising in the eastern skyJust as we set out to the desert’s cryCalling, yearning, pulling, home to youThe tents grew smaller as we rode awayOn earth that tells of many passing daysThe months of peace and all the years of warThe lives of love and all the lives of fearsCalling, yearning, pulling, home to youWe crossed the river beds all etched in stoneAnd up the mighty mountains ever knownBeyond the valleys in the searing heatUntil we reached the caravanseraiCalling, yearning, pulling, home to youCalling, yearning, pulling, home to youWhat is this life that pulls me far awayWhat is that home where we cannot resideWhat is that quest that pulls me onwardMy heart is full when you are by my sideCalling, yearning, pulling, home to youCalling, yearning, pulling, home to you待续PS：不得不感叹Loreena的词写得越来越动人了。

THE ENGLISH LADYE AND THE KNIGHT曲：Loreena/词：Sir Walter Scott(1771–1832)It was an English ladye bright,(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)And she would marry a Scottish knight,For Love will still be lord of all.Blithely they saw the rising sunWhen he shone fair on Carlisle wall;But they were sad ere day was done,Though Love was still the lord of all.Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;Her brother gave but a flask of wine,For ire that Love was lord of all.For she had lands both meadow and lea,Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,For he swore her death, ere he would seeA Scottish knight the lord of all.That wine she had not tasted well(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,For Love was still the lord of all!He pierced her brother to the heart,Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall –So perish all would true love partThat Love may still be lord of all!And then he took the cross divine,Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,And died for her sake in Palestine;So Love was still the lord of all.Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)Pray for their souls who died for love,For Love shall still be lord of all!KECHARITOMENE演奏曲：Loreena McKennittPenelope's Song词/曲：Loreena McKennittNow that the time has comeSoon gone is the dayThere upon some distant shoreYou’ll hear me sayLong as the day in the summer timeDeep as the wine dark seaI’ll keep your heart with mine.Till you come to me.There like a bird I‘d flyHigh through the airReaching for the sun’s full raysOnly to find you thereAnd in the night when our dreams are stillOr when the wind calls freeI’ll keep your heart with mineTill you come to meNow that the time has comeSoon gone is the dayThere upon some distant shoreYou’ll hear me sayLong as the day in the summer timeDeep as the wine dark seaI’ll keep your heart with mine.Till you come to me

SACRED SHABBAT 演奏曲：Loreena McKennittBENEATH A PHRYGIAN SKY 词/曲：Loreena McKennittThe moonlight it was dancingOn the waves, out on the seaThe stars of heaven hoveredIn a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the agesSo in haunting in its songThese ancient stones will tell usOur love must make us strongThe breeze it wrapped around meAs I stood there on the shoreAnd listened to this voiceLike I never heard beforeOur battles they may find us No choice may ours to be But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us freeMy mind was called across the yearsOf rages and of strifeOf all the human miseryAnd all the waste of lifeWe wondered where our God wasIn the face of so much painI looked up to the stars aboveTo find you once againWe travelled the wide oceansHeard many call your nameWith sword and gun and hatredIt all seemed much the sameSome used your name for glory Some used it for their gain Yet when liberty lay wantingNo lives were lost in vainIs it not our place to wonderAs the sky does weep with tearsAnd all the living creaturesLook on with mortal fearIt is ours to hold the bannerIs ours to hold it longIt is ours to carry forwardOur love must make us strongAnd as the warm wind carriedIts song into the nightI closed my eyes and tarriedUntil the morning lightAs the last star it shimmeredAnd the new sun’s day gave birthIt was in this magic momentCame this prayer for mother earthReprise:The moonlight it was dancingOn the waves, out on the seaThe stars of heaven hoveredIn a shimmering galaxy A voice from down the agesSo in haunting in its songThe ancient stones will tell usOur love will make us strong

Never-Ending Road词/曲：Loreena McKennittThe road now leads onwardAs far as can beWinding lanesAnd hedgerows in threes By purple mountainsAnd round every bendAll roads lead to youThere is no journey’s end.Here is my heart and I give it to youTake me with you across this land These are my dreams, so simple and fewDreams we hold in the palm of our handsDeep in the winterAmidst falling snowHigh in the airWhere the bells they all tollAnd now all around meI feel you still hereSuch is the journeyNo mystery to fear.Here is my heart and I give it to youTake me with you across this land These are my dreams, so simple and fewDreams we hold in the palm of our handsThe road now leads onwardAnd I know not whereI feel in my heartThat you will be thereWhenever a storm comesWhatever our fearsThe journey goes onAs your love ever nearsHere is my heart and I give it to youTake me with you across this land These are my dreams, so simple and fewDreams we hold in the palm of our hands非常明显，最后这首“无尽的路”是Loreena写给她死去的爱人的。一首非常忧伤的歌，使用了风笛伴奏更加衬托出苍茫凄凉的感觉，但是从歌词可以看出，Loreena是多么的坚强。失去最爱的人的痛，实在是无以言喻的，没有一种痛比这更深了。

哪里有LM版本的raglan road?到处都没有找到阿

Raglan Road只收录在美版特别版的专辑里。
