Loreena McKennitt "Stay @ Home" Virtual Gala remarks
Музыка
On May 2 Loreena McKennitt participated in The Stratford Perth Community Foundation’s, "Stay @ Home" Virtual Gala. She spoke as a local citizen drawing on her experience as The Honorary Colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force, as a foundation fund-holder supporting nursing excellence and as the owner and director of The Falstaff Family Centre.
The online gala was a one-night event uniting Canadians across the country with the aim of strengthening community efforts and to raise critical funds to manage the impact of the COVID-19 virus on our communities.

QUINLAN ROAD / LOREENA MCKENNITT: While we periodically reach out through social media, it’s something we do by default. In general, we do not endorse social media. Since 1998, the unregulated era of technology has all but decimated traditional media, which we feel is more accountable to a civil society. We’re also learning that digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, a figure expected to double by 2025. We therefore plan to continue advocating for a responsible and accountable media in whatever form that may take. In the meantime, we encourage you to stay in touch through the closest and most direct method possible, our email list. loreenamckennitt.com/community/

She has a beautiful singing voice AND she speaks like a queen.

In a Free Land, the best and the brightest lead by example. We are what we support, and what we aspire to be. Wealth inherited usually loses the best principles earned by hard work, resilience, adaptation, and creative vision. 🌾🐡👀

be a Keanu not a kardashian. He first does it because it’s right and doesn’t need recognition. Find those

I vote for Loreena as our next Governor-General. Imagine all the good she would do.
You don't know this, but you and I go back decades. While I've rocked my children to sleep, you've been there in the background playing. When I felt over worked, or blue, you were there in the background playing. You played for me in the good times as well, during celebrations, or just with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Now to hear you in these dark days or isolation, well you've made my week. Stay Healthy, stay safe, and thanks for taking a few minutes to remind the world that better days are ahead.

▪️ Have you come to understand the whole thing was a Pretendemic? Because it most certainly was. 🟥
I am struck with the beauty of this gentle message as a call for humanity to be more unified and compassionate as we face this universal pandemic. The silent benevolence of many shall not be forgotten, nor, carried away with the winds of time. We must all, truly strive to be of service to one another.....for, this, is at it should be....

To me, this woman displays what used to be American dignity and values. I'm so sick of Trump's meanness and name-calling. Thanks for giving me some hope .... make America think again.
Loreena is my favorite musician and singer since over twenty years, wonderful woman 😍😍🌈
Does anyone have any idea how massively difficult it is to keep someone with add/adhd enthralled enought to listen to a lengthy message, no matter how beautiful or powerful? The way you, Miss Loreena, speak is captivating and it draws you in and makes you want to hang on every word. Your words are so mystical and soulfelt. You can feel your heart hanging in every syllable you speak and it really connects with people in astounding ways and on deep levels. I have always held you in the highest regards, and I think you are the greatest artist I have ever heard. The way you've chosen to live your life is very inspiring and you have made a wonderful set of footsteps to help guid people onto the path to better their environment and community and especially each other. Please keep being the best you you can be and I hope we, as your fans, can make you proud by taking your example and influencing others by it. Thank you for all that you do. Love from a mellow American. ^ ^"

I feel the same way regarding Lovely Lady Loreena. Her voice, words and how she expresses her thoughts are carefully executed. Take care Sharpie Queen.
I’m retired TSgt of the US Air Force. I’m one of your biggest fan. Thank you for your words of wisdom from Colorado USA.
Your music is an accompanate to my life. May you be blessed as you have blessed.
Such heart and class. What we need right now.
This Loreena's speech could easily be inside a booklet in one record of hers.
Love, Love, Love... Loreena! Kisses, São Paulo SP Brasil.

Minha mãe colocava as músicas de Lorena para tocar lá em casa quando eu era criança. A descobrimos através do filme Avalon. Essa mulher marcou minha vida! Uma das maiores artistas da era moderna.
Beautifully said. Being in service to one another is the greatest form of giving. Without expectation without gain. Loreena, your music has been therapy to my family especially my son who has autism. He just adores your music. During quarantine we had a bonfire for Beltane and played your music. The melodies, the herbs, the moonlight, the dancing and warmth of the fire enabled us to “escape” for awhile. It was pure bliss. Thank you! Love health and blessings to you always... 💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿
Somehow you still sing while talking, your voice enthrall’s. Blessed be 🌿.
Never take anything for granted. I lost my favorite singer songwriter almost 5 years ago. Brianna was 32 years old. This was 9 months after my bride became and angel. I had never had the opportunity to see Loreena live before yet had been a fan for over 25 years. In 2016 I made it a point to do so in Phoenix, Az. Never take anything for granted. Hearing her with no music is as much a pleasure as hearing her music.
My mom was also a nurse. A wonderful lady, full of energy and humour. I miss her deeply. Love xx
Thank you Loreena Mckennitt... with love from México 🙏🏻🌷❤️🇲🇽
The best singer and person!! She always teaches us a lesson!! God bless you Loreena. ❤️❤️❤️
I love you Loreena🤩🤩🤩 I met you in Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 in November 2018, in your first concert in my country👏👏👏 Your music is part of my life soundtrack 🎶 🎹🎻🥁 Regards 🤗

Jorge Valenzuela youare so lucky . I wish i could have once in my life. I m from far away in Bangkok.I might have to go some where for the concert.
Beautifully and eloquently delivered, it reminded me of the Queen's speeches. 💜
Somehow, this video brought some sort of magic within it. It was like having Loreena here at home speaking with us, not through the screen but in real person. I hope everyone can get through this period alive and well, and for those that happen to have lost the beloved ones, please, don't lose faith, take care of yourself and the ones you still care and have around you. Much love for everyone.
We love you Loreena. My wife and I met while I worked in a new age shop, listening to your music. Your music guided us together we eventually married and 10 years later, our daughters listen to your music. Thank you for bringing encouraging words.
Your music has been a very integral part of my life since the start of my 3rd yr in high school(2009). I then, had recently lost my my uncle and great grandmother (who was like a saint in my eyes). School was an absolute nightmare as well as life. My school’s Occupational Therapist got me hooked on your music, and you instilled this new sense of beauty in life and the world around me, that despite the dark and horrible things that happen in this world, there’s still a ray of light and hope. You speak with such wisdom, poise and heartfelt sincerity, you truly are inspiring, my lady. May the God and Goddess continue to bless you and yours, Lady McKennitt!! Love & Light to you, and Blessed Be! 🌒🌕🌘
I feel a deep spiritual bond to Loreena through her sharing, her music, and her amazing, giving energy. What a kind nature.
The day I found your music, that was the must wonderful and lucky day in my soul. Thank you for all those beauty hours you had gave me.
Wow, that moved me to tears. I'm trapped half a world away from my Loved One and each day is a blessing as we can talk to each other. Hearing Loreena speak reminds me that we aren't alone in this and pray that our leaders will learn from this. Sadly though, I don't think they will. Already the wealthy and greedy amongst us are lobbying our politicians and are plotting to capitalise on the current world situation. Thank you for giving us the hope of a better future, like, through your beautiful music, you have given us a beautiful past.......xoxo

If there is any time when we need to put people ahead of profits, this is it.
The only Queen's speech I'll ever watch.
Lorena has helped heal me many times even though she doesn't know me. That's something special. I'm fortunate to of found her many years ago. I do appreciate it so much.
A beautiful voice, a beautiful tone and a beautiful heartfealt message!!!!
It is such a delight to see and hear from Loreena. To see her perspective on the subjects she is most concerned about is greatly honorable and important. I loved her since the first note I heard and that love and respect as grown every time I heard her. My wish is that we do help and support those who need it when they need it. Love to all.
Love, love LOVE you! Your efforts are the goal of all thinking and caring individuals. Your art has sustained many of us through many years, especially now. Be safe and I hope you can tour the U.S. soon.
Good morning from Seattle. Thank you for taking the time to share with us your thoughts. So true what you are saying. Take care and thank you.
When you speak, I am reminded of my mother, and my whole being is filled with peace. Your voice is a motherly lullaby! Love and hug From "Sweden" and "Iran/Tehran"
Love your songs, Loreena. Thank you. São Paulo. Brasil
You have been one of my favorite people for the last 25 years. You are so full of grace. Thank you.

Lovely Lorena, thank you, particularly for the reminder of “must have” versus “nice to have “, Your music inspires creativity, and brings comfort and joy. These words inspire and comfort as well. You are a gift, and I am grateful. 🐝
Wow....what a beautiful message of hope, truth and honesty. Loreena McKennitt is truly a wonderful person. Her words are true and comforting.
Thank you for your leadership and call to support our responders and each other. A beautiful and inspiring message from a beautiful and soulful person.
I could listen to her talk about anything. Such a voice!
Thank you, dear lady, for your service to us all. You share with us your greatest gift, your voice and poetry. We are honored to live in a time when we are blessed to hear you whenever we wish, and for this, we are grateful. It is people like you, who get us through the darkness.

Thank you. Not only the most beautiful Canadian voice but a beautiful soul with a powerful message for us all.❤
Words, music, arrangements and your true soul make you a voice for all.
As someone who has enjoyed your voice and your songwriting for more than 25 years, I also know how carefully you protect your personal space. I understand fully, and appreciate with all my heart, how generous you are being with yourself and your gifts when you reach out to us and share your eloquence in this way. Our world as listeners, as musicians (sometimes), and as human beings (always) is so much richer for your presence in it. Thank you.
Thank you for sensing the true significance and lessons of our times and those of the past, Loreena, and for your continual ability to communicate and inspire. Your message in your most recent email to the LM Community was particularly meaningful to me - please continue to speak about the need to fundamentally change how humans treat animals and the natural world. You will always be my favorite artist, both for your music and for your generosity and wisdom.
What a beautiful soul! thank you for your words of wisdom Loreena. you've made me cry and smile all at once. what a wonderful perception . stay safe. love and blessings xxx

I first heard Mummers Dance just over two weeks ago, ive been listening to her past and present music, what an Angelic voice!! And hearing her speak here like this soothed and calmed me down, as ive been so stressed out by all this Pandemic, her words of encouragement are well received here. Thank you!

She is part of my life and will live forever in my heart ..Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful and wise words, thanks Loreena, for saying these and for bringing your beautiful music, language of the soul, to this world!
One of you wrote that she speaks like a queen, now there is nothing to be said against it, she has the appearance of a queen. She is not only an artist, she is also a person whom I would definitely be able to assume a political and social leadership position. An exceptional artist, an exceptional person and citizen, Canada can be proud of her. I wish you health, happiness and good luck in your business. Greetings from Germany Klaus-Roger
The most beautiful words ever said on this pandemic. Thank you!
What I respect most about you Ms. Mckennitt is that you don't just sing about love and unity, you live your life with a message of love and unity. History is repeating itself, but it is imperative more than ever for us to change our viewpoints and come together. I thank you for your gift and your spirit. Asé and love to you all.

🙏 Thank you very much Loreena to call us back to our responsability In France there is a great confusion in minds. It's vain to want to be hear by our authorities and not to give the exemple ! Thank you for this call full of heart ! 💙🌈☀️
To serve ... the best philosophy. We should all look within, especially now. I agree with all of your sentiments. Thank you for your beautiful singing voice, such a blessing. Tks for sharing.
Loreena Mckennitt is surely one of the most charismatic human beings. Her powerful presence goes even beyond her amazing, unique voice and precious musical talent. It lies in her ageless spirit and her respectful stance on life. Her humility is just delightful to share. In such an uncanny situation we are faced with now, she brings solace to the whole world with her humanitarian message and, of course, her ineffable beautiful ART!! I feel so privileged to live in the same era as her...
Loreena, you are my inspiration, I work with your musics a long long time. I'm Brazilian and you are wonderful woman. Thank you so much for all the words and everything. 💓
Fãs brasileiros da Loreena Mckennitt marcando presença aqui! Fico muito feliz por isso! Bênçãos e proteção à todos!

Each of your song is a masterpiece ❤️
Thank you for your words and thank you for music. I've been a fan for years.
Very well said, The nurses of this world could never be paid what they are worth, as I very pointedly learned when a P.A. (advanced from nursing) diagnosed a condition which had nearly done me in(never recognized by my doctor) a nursing staff in a medical center worked wonders and skilled surgeons put me back together, then a lot more nursing, their patience, concern, and humor made all the difference, I had no idea how important they were until I needed them. those who fight on the front lines of this crises should be never forgotten as they are now vital for us all. During my little adventure, her music was most valuable, as often when I am down, or bothered I will put on the headphones and listen to an hour or two,-or so of her music, and find myself nicely sorted out at the end, the night prior to going to the operating room early in the AM sleep was not to be had, I knew there was a small chance I would wake up in the next world, if not it would be in a halo(getting a halo one way or the other perhaps...), so I connected my phone to my headphones and listened to music I loved all night, the largest part being Ms. Mekennitt, and Enya,I wasn't worried about sleep as I knew I would be taking a; long nap and soon-I went under feeling very calm and ready for whatever was to be. (which was a long but great recovery, and nearly 100 percent back to me-she was a massive help in those hours.
Our greetings from Greece!
I love her music. Amazing voice. Listening since 2003.
She is truly profound in our world. I can hear it even as she speaks.
Hola Lorenna..¡¡¡ mi nombre es David, te escribo desde Argentina. que lindo verte en este caso on line por una gran causa. esperemos esto se termine pronto para todos los países. besos y abrazos desde Argentina para ti y todo el pueblo de Canadá...¡¡¡
