Lyric discussion by Eyden 

Cover art for The Old Ways lyrics by Loreena McKennitt

When i first heard this song i thought it was a song about her late fiancee who died at sea. I realize that it wasn't the case since this was written before that. Still, i can't help but wonder if her thoughts doesn't wander to him when performing this piece.

Anyway, it's one of my favourite songs by her and seeing it live gave me goosebumps
