Chloe looks so gorgeous in it. She is the first singer (of course), and she has another lovely close up at 2:00 into the video. It's particularly nice to see her in her gorgeous second-act dress from the current tour.

I wonder at which venue this was recorded?

She's always gorgeous. I believe that the video was recorded at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. That's the show that I went to. Toward the end of the video it shows one of the side walls of the theatre and it has these weird step things all up the side. That song is so beautiful. They will be singing that song for all kinds of things in America for years to come.

I love this! I loved the song when I first heard it at the show and am glad to hear it again.

I just received an e-mail with a link to a second version of the same song, except this one includes Chloe's spoken introduction, which is beautiful and eloquent.

Curiously enough, this link doesn't work in Canada. (YouTube declares that "This video is not available in your country.") Perhaps it's a U.S. exclusive.

There are, however, easy workarounds to this, which can be found with a little Web research.

Non-U.S.-based Chloe fans, please avail yourselves of these workarounds in order to watch the video, because Chloe's intro is frankly every bit as beautiful as the song itself.

And if you can't find a workaround that suits you, well, you always have the first link in this thread, which seems to function in all regions.

Thanks for getting the link to this one, Celeste. I had already watched the other one. I will say though that the introduction that Chloe uses in this youtube is NOT the one that she used at any of my shows.

Yes, I thought so. I assume that this intro was filmed specifically for this video, given that she doesn't mention at which venue the girls are playing.

Do you recall the specific ways in which the filmed intro differs from what Chloe says before the concerts? I only heard Chloe's introduction once, back in February, so my memory is a bit hazy.

Hi Celeste,

I only have a quick minute between inservice sessions right now... the speech she gives in the youtube video is similar, but also longer, than the ones at the concerts that I attended. I do remember this phrasing she used at all of my shows: "America was the first country to embrace us, as Celtic Woman, so we want to dedicate this next song to all of you."

Warmest greetings everyone, I posted this on the Mairead Forum Web Site, but I thought that since a lot of these wonderful lyrics were sung by Chloe, that some of you would like to see the lyrics to this newest Celtic Woman song, posted here.
I think that everyone really out did themselves on this song. It is to me, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Plus, I will add the youtube link to the vid. of this new song. It might make you cry, it is so beautiful.

And so, to Mr. Brandon Graham, Chloe, and to ALL the performers in this wonderful group, Celtic Woman again my deepest, heartfelt thanks.
Enjoy.

Oh America

Lyrics
Written By Brandon Graham.

Oh, America, your calling…
I can hear you calling me.
You are calling me, to be true to thee,
True to the, I will be.

Oh, America you’re weeping…
Let me heal you wounded heart.
I will keep you in my keeping,
‘til there be a new start.

And I will answer you…
And I will take your hand…
And lead you to the sun.

And I will stand by you…
Do all that I can do…
And we will be as one.

Oh America, I hear you…
From the prairies, to the sea.
From your mountains grand,
And all through this land…
You are beautiful to me.

Oh America you’re calling…
I can hear you calling me…
You are calling me…
To be true to thee…
True to the, I will be.

I will answer you, and I will take your hand…
And lead you to the sun.

And I will stand by you…
Do all that I can do…
And we, will be as one.

Oh America you’re calling…

I will answer thee.

Thank you. There has been a post about this here:
