Enya – Athair Ar Neamh (violin cover)

March 16, 2010 | In: Videos


Here is a MV dedicated to the heroes still battling all hardship to help the victims of China Sichuan earthquake. I used my junky 30-year-old violin for Enya’s voice in “Athair Ar Neamh”. MIDI sequencing was done with Roland JV-1080 some 12 years ago. At times of catastrophe, we should all lay down our differences. I have seen many nasty messages left by youtube people expressing hate and contempt for the chinese. If you intend to leave such comments here now, please don’t. At the end of the day, it’s all politics, world domination and oil. Everybody is guilty. I am not making any political statements or calling for justice here. I just want to express my compassion for the victims and appreciation for the heroes at ground zero through music. Latest data: More than 69000 dead. 21000 missing. If you are sympathetic about what is going on in Sichuan, please do your bit to help in whatever ways. Video clips from www.ifrc.org

Many people here in the USA do not know that during one of America’s latest disasters the Huricane Katrina that aid from China was the FIRST to arrive at the scene. Thank You Chinese peopl for being a friend in our hour of need.

Hi Jeremy, Your video is one of many I have seen of this tragic event. The date says May 19th but I don’t recall seeing this one. This is the first viewing of yours and I apologize for missing it. I was a member of USA-Today’s news comment forum at the time and I too read some very hateful comments from my own country, the USA.

Jeremy,

The tears are streaming down my face. We’re deeply saddened by the earthquake tragedy and follow it here on the news.

Her beautiful violin nearly pushes me over the edge.

This is the most emotional video I think I’ve ever experienced.

If you want to make me cry, you are.

Beautiful presentation of such tragedy.

Your lovely daughter is amazing and I thank her for all the practice.
