Isn't it funny how life unfolds? Forty years ago (!!!) when this video was released, I was in my early 20s, Bill and I were living in New Hampshire, we'd been married for 5 years, and MTV was a cool new thing. We would have seen this video back then, not paying much attention. Little did we know that a few decades later we'd be standing next to Bad Eddie (the boat that gets struck by lightning in the video) on 'our' local beach, living in the area where it was filmed, and looking at Mt Errigal as we walked to the library or the grocery store. I don't know what I thought my life would be like back then, and I've been surprised many times. I did know what I didn't want my life to be like and happily, I've been mostly successful in that regard. I wonder what will happen next.

I enjoyed this video.
All the best Jan
It does! And yet I sometimes feel as though I've lived several lives in the last 4 decades.
The video is gorgeous, Shari. As you say, life has strange turns and you never quite know how things will turn out. Miriam and I were musing about this only yesterday. For us, as for you, it has turned out well, and for that we can both be thankful.
Thankful is the word, David. I'm very happy for you and Miriam that you're happily sharing your life together 🙂
I've never heard this song before, I like it. It's very calming.
It is! Well before I knew I'd live in Ireland, I used to listen to Clannad a lot when I wanted to have a peaceful vibe or when I was ready to go to sleep. Enya, too. They're from the same family and are from the area where we lived a few years ago and are returning to.
I love Clannad but I've never seen this video. Imagine living right close to this amazingly gorgeous spot. Must tell you, I started following your blog and looking forward to it!
Thanks for stopping by, Jeanie! People in Gweedore are very proud of Clannad, Enya, and the family.
