Isle of Hope - Irish Tenor - Emmet Cahill

[Chandra]

Beautiful song. I've always admired the courage that it must have took for any immigrant - in any time - to leave EVERYTHING behind for the chance that the new world would be better than the old.

[hailiepeterson]

Why is his voice so amazingly beautiful? Every time I hear him sing I just want to cry my eyes out.

[laurag.oconnell]

Listening to this you get the feeling that Emmet really shares the same feelings that young Annie must have felt in coming to America at such a young age. Amazing voice Emmet! Wow! Love this song, it really stirs up a lot of emotions.

[cathideal]

You truly bring this beautiful song to life - you can see it happening if you close your eyes and listen - it's there right in front of you.

these guys are so blessed with the music they sing it puts peace in my heart and know that what they sing is real life to some God Bless Them

One of my favorites! Emmet is a master story teller with his classical, beautiful voice.

[storyofsarah]

I don't understand how he puts enough emotion into his singing to make me tear up during so many of his songs (particularly this one and Grace). I never cry during songs!

[roguegrey]

I love how expressive he is, especially turns the end. I love how expressive they all are in all of their music. Its so different from the forced emotions that I see from musicians in America where they seem to either restrain their emotions or force them to be more than they really are. Its an extremely different experience for me to watch even only through YouTube.

"Isle of Hope-Isle of Tears." by Emmet Cahill.  Beautiful performance with such expressiveness. It brings tears to my eyes and touches my heart with beauty!!!

Celtic Thunder and Celtic Woman should do a joint concert!

I think of my Grandpa coming to the States from Dublin Ireland as a very young man. I have 2 other grandparents who traveled from Germany while very young too. I have 3 grandparents who have come here from "The Old Country" as was termed while I was growing up. Makes me happy they came, but sad to know now what it must have been like to leave family, friends, and their homes to come. Never to return again. Very sad for immigrants to leave "Home" in the days of old.

Emmet's rendition of Isle of Hope - Isle of Tears - along with complimentary music arrangement - has yet to be the best I've heard. The combination of the expression of the emotion of a young girl leaving the land she so deeply loved against a better future in a land alien to her, beautifully displayed by the melodic voice, even in every controlled vibrato, brings out deep emotions of the hearer. Very moving and powerful. Thank you, Emmet and orchestra.

[dkeener]

Beautiful song! I'm so glad my Isle of Home is heave. We are bound for heaven if receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

[ladysith]

This song is the story of my life. The hope and tears. Freedom and fears/ pain. I love this song so much because it relates so much to me. You're awesome Emmet.

[dtmdolores]

Emmet sings this with such heartfelt emotion that it pulls us into the performance, maybe in spite of ourselves! It strikes a chord in every person, no matter where "the isle of home" is. Absolutely beautiful rendition.

[edprice]

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUITFUL, BEAUTIFUL THE BEST

[janrablin]

Very soothing and calm. Nice Soft singing!  Lovely!!

[dkeener]

This is beautiful. I am so glad that I can have have assurance that my Isle of Home is Heaven. It is so simple. Ask the Lord into your heart and he will save you.

[jlfoot]

Can I say how much I love your version of this Emmet? You really capture the emotion of this song. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
