Celtic Thunder Performs Moving Rendition Of 'Kindred Spirits'

Listen to this moving performance by Celtic Thunder of the song ‘Kindred Spirits.’

“The candlelight is fading as I gently kneel and say, an Ave for my mother
As her spirit slips away, away to join my father and to share eternity
We call them kindred spirits now they will forever be
So now they're reunited, smiling down from up above, as fondly we remember
The old house they filled with love, how even through the hard times
They were close as close could be, just like the kindred spirits they will forever be”

What a beautiful and touching song! This performance was filmed live in Kansas City back in 2011. And the singer performing the song ‘Kindred Spirits’ is Emmet Cahill.

This song was Emmet’s first solo song in the group. It was written by Phil Coulter who helped start Celtic Thunder, and he gave it to Emmet sing.

The song is about a child losing their mother who is now joining their father in heaven. The child sings about all of the good times that they all had together and how the parents are now "kindred spirits" together forever, never to part again.

You can really feel the emotion coming from Emmet Cahill when he sings the song. He is very talented, and he puts on a wonderful performance.

“Beautifully done, a sweet voice for a heartfelt song,” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“I love this song and his voice is amazingly beautiful,” comments another person online.

This year, Celtic Thunder are setting off on their biggest tour of North America to date, 75 cities in the US & Canada. And on their website, they share about what you can expect from their 2022 North American tour.

“The show features soloist Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne, Emmet Cahill, and Damian McGinty along with the Celtic Thunder Band in Solo and Ensemble Numbers that pays homage to their Celtic roots,” reads their website. “Each magical performance of Celtic Thunder ‘Ireland’ offers something for the entire family, and will enthrall their legions of fans that has gained Celtic Thunder the mantle of Top World Music Act in Billboard four times over!”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this performance of ‘Kindred Spirits’ today!
