Written by Jimmy MacCarthy 'Ride On' is arguably the best thing Christy Moore ever recorded. It is haunting in its beauty.

Most beautiful song ever!! Eabha and Mairead's voices are simple and pure perfection!

[andreavandergragt]

The girls are incredible. But I think we should give a tip of the hat to the back up musicians. They are world class as well.

[johnmoss]

If the essence of music is intended to move us emotionally, Celtic Woman excells at that goal. Laugh, cry, long for home, they take you there unerring. The cast has changed over the years but the quality of their productions has remained consistent. Thank you for your work.

Absolutely breathtaking. Can you imagine how privileged that audience was that night. Intro vocals were nailed, she suits longer hair better than short.

[keewee]

I wish videos like this were getting more attention. This is what pure, clean vocals sound like. These women are TRULY talented.

[deek]

I love everything about Éabha McMahon. Her voice, her movements, her facial expressions. She does something to my heart.

[aeraxxis]

Eabha and Mairead compliment eachother's voices so well in this song

[christophermotyka]

I just sit stunned by their vocals omg 😳

[cm.s.]

Eahba being a rare contralto always stands out in a group. It is also why when others sing with her they end up sounding like backup singers. Her voice is powerful.

[tekkphreke]

It amazes me watching this video, not one wasted movement, angelic voices, and the way everyone from the singers to the instrument players are all in perfect sync with each other, just stunningly beautiful.

[philipparogers]

Eabhas voice is pure beauty surely she has to be the best female vocalist of the last 50 years so beautiful 🇬🇧

[schrap]

This song, the Call and Caledonia are my most favorite Celtic Woman songs. I still can't get "Ride On"out of my head. It's such a sad and beautiful song.

[yarengumeli]

After she says that"Through the teardrops in my eye"...piano plays that sound like some teardrops... heart of the this song is here

[markberry]

Mairead Carlins voice is perfection. I could die listening to it.

True you ride the finest horse I have ever seen ~♪
Standing sixteen one or two, with eyes wild and green ~♪
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch ~♪
I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to ~♪

Ride on. See you... ~♪
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to ~♪
(x2)

When you ride into the night without a trace behind ~♪
Run you claw along my gut one last time ~♪
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie ~♪
I look for the spark that lights the night ~♪
Through a teardrop in my eye ~♪

Ride on. See you... ~♪
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to ~♪
(x4)

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to. ~♪

As beautiful a song as Celtic Woman has ever recorded.

I used to go with a wee girl that was a double of the first singer I would have married her in a heart beat. But we were young and she wanted to live her best life. Not a day would go by I wouldn't think of her. Then with social media I was able to catch up with her but just small conversations. Anyway the poor girl had met up with a fella that got her on drugs and you could see it took its toll on her. Thankfully she's no longer with him for her benefit. I wish her well.

[grimreaper]

WOW! This is a fantastic song! Their voices so contrasting but yet so perfect together! Going to miss Éabha McMahon. Best wishes for her in the new direction she has taken! Can't wait to see her creations in the future!

[hazeleyeartist]

This song and performance haunts me. These 3 perfomers are just perfection. The sweet violin, the 2 voices separate then blended is stunning. I want this played at my funeral!
