Album Reviews
Show Me
The harmoniously brilliant “Show Me” is an evocative and almost chilling start to “Two Horizons”. The sensual “oohs” intertwined with Moya Brennan’s soothing vocals that lead to the climaxing chorus are enchanting. Lyrically it is a little vague, but sings of a stranger showing Brennan the way and guiding her to find him, or of a prayer to God to keep her on the right path. The overall effect of this Christian music song is just amazing.

Bright Star
Moya Brennan now sings of what the representation of the harp means to her in the song “Bright Star”. She will astound you with her vocal brilliance and sooth you with the gentle music. So sit and “hear the beauty of this sound”.
^Top
Change My World
The Irish jig beginning of the Christian music song “Change My World” has the added beauty of transcendent harmonies and lush vocals. The gentle lyrics sing of the “preacher” helping Moya Brennan in her faith in order for her to “change [her] world.”
^Top
Bí Liom
“Bí Liom” is a tender lilting song sung in Moya Brennan’s own language. As the soft notes of the harp mix with the rich Irish vocals, this enchanting song will become mystical and soothing. This passionate Christian music song sings of Moya Brennan’s fear of being left alone, and is beautiful.
^Top
Is It Now (Theme)
“Is It Now (theme)” is a short but gentle song that is a delight to listen to as the beautiful harmonies highlight Moya Brennan’s pure voice and her amazing talent.
^Top
Falling
The surprisingly bouncy “Falling” is more up-tempo than in other songs. The lushness of Moya Brennan’s voice shines through in this Christian music song as does the simplicity of the lyrics which sings of Moya Brennan saying farewell to her “hero”.
^Top
Tara
The enchanting “Tara” is very relaxing to listen to, and again Moya Brennan excels vocally. The celebrations of what happened at Tara are sung in the mystical Irish language. The ending harmonies are truly beautiful.
^Top
Ancient Town
The chilling “Ancient Town” with the ominous harp and ghostly vocals of Moya Brennan will send shivers down your spine. She sings of an abandoned town and this is perfectly portrayed through the image which the music represents.
^Top
Show Me (Theme)
“Show Me (theme)” is a beautiful Christian music song with inspirational harmonies. This shows the best of the original song in just one minute.
^Top
Sailing Away
The memorable “Sailing Away” has a thunderous chorus sung in the home tongue of Moya Brennan which is extremely effective. The wonderful contrast between the gentle quiet verses and the energetic chorus makes this a song to remember.
^Top
River
Beautiful harmonies come alive in the song “River” and shows of Moya Brennan’s amazing talent for Celtic Christian music. She sings of the fear she has of being in the unknown. This is a fabulous song with glorious vocals.
^Top
Is It Now
The soft playing of the harp and the gentle tones of Moya Brennan’s voice brings you into the Christian music song “Is It Now” which sings of the beauty of the world. Singing “I’m dreaming” shows Moya Brennan’s disbelief with the beauty of it.
^Top
Mothers Of The Desert
“Mothers of the desert” is slightly duller than the other songs on this album as it includes many long instrumentals. However the vocal “ooohs” in the background a slight spark of interest, and spices the song up a little.
^Top
Harpsong
“Harpsong” sings of the beauty of the harp through pure sensual playing, and no vocals. This is a very calm piece of music and very relaxing to listen to.
^Top
Two Horizons
The lyrically beautiful song “Two Horizons” shows the wonderful purity of Moya Brennan’s voice through the slow melody. The ending jig-like music played on the fiddle will inspire you to get up and dance the Irish jig!
