Connect with Celtic Thunder:

Celtic Thunder MYTHOLOGY was filmed on location at the Helix Theater in Dublin; fitting that Celtic Thunder chose to return to their roots in order to film this musical odyssey.

The core theme of Mythology is found in the original opening number "Voices", "Voices call from the old days, Voices tell from the past, Ancient laws and ancient old ways to recast." It's the story of the Celtic People, their legends, their culture and their stories. It's the lifeblood of modern day Celtic people everywhere and the influences from our Celtic past, which are still carried in each one of us as part of whom we are and where we come from. Voices, quoted above, is a collaboration between Celtic Thunder Musical Director/Composer David Munro and world-renowned song writer Brendan Graham, who also wrote the international hit "You Raise Me Up".

The set of Mythology is big; it's dramatic and imposing. The new and the old combine. Modern catalyst images are projected onto ancient monolithic standing stones, a giant Celtic cross takes center stage and the tempo of the music is strongly echoed in the theatrical and moody lighting.

Celtic Thunder Mythology - 'Turning Away'

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

On the water we have walked
Like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked
Revealing wondrous wild
And in search of confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet
Through uncontrolled desire

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

There's a well upon the hill
From our ancient past
Where an age is standing
Still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And to carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

By Loch Etive they have worked
With their highland dreams
By Kilcrennan they have nourished
In the mountain streams.
And in searching for acceptance
They had given it away
Only the children of their children know
The price they had to pay

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

I have to agree their voices work together and compliment each other. One of my favorite groups.

 These men took this country (USA) by storm and gave us real music ! That is something we have been wanting for a long time. No wonder they do so well here. I'll never get tired of them.

This entire troup makes me wish I was 25 again and making music for MY living.  They all express such unchained joy in what they do.  Don't ever stop the Thunder.

I just have to say this. I'm extremely picky when it comes to singing. Seriously, I'm the hardest person to please when it comes to music. Then I heard these guys sing... My heart nearly exploded! Their synchronization is nearly perfect and their harmonies are absolutely beautiful! And doing SIX rounds at THE SAME TIME?! It was absolutely flawless and incredible to hear! I love you guys!

This is one of the best songs they have ever done. Ryan's expression on his solo part is perfection.
