在Logos Hope船上书展中我买了一片CD -Echoe Glen，里头全是抒情的歌曲(Gaelic melodies and modern Celtic songs)，就是那种让人心向往之大自然的音乐，啸笛、长笛、皮鼓和小提琴的交响曲使心情悠闲，让人陶醉在那种西方外国式乡下的音乐风情中。
1. Waterfall at Glenmacness 4:19
2. Echoe Glen 4:46
3. Come By The Hills 4:21
4. House Of The Rising Sun 3:36
5. An Emigrant's Daughter 4:33
6. Carrickfergus 4:24
7. Loch Lomond 4:44
8. Down By The Glenside 4:11
9. Eilan A' Cheo 5:07
10. An Raibh Tu Ag An gCarraig 4:14
11. Bonnie Woodgreen 4:17
Come By The Hills，我最喜欢专集中的一首歌曲，轻松愉快的郊游感觉，还有勉励的歌词，因此听起来，心情也不由得像是隔着某时空，随着林之回音在某个遥远的国度在度假着，无忧无虑似地享受着生活。尝试幻想和友人一同野餐时在心中播放这首曲子，躺在河岸边仰望着蓝天白云，诗情画意般的景象就在四周，那感觉真的很美妙。其他喜欢的歌曲包括Waterfall at Glenmacness, Echoe Glen, Eilan A' Cheo, An Emigrant's Daughter等。

An Emigrant's Daughter，是另一首听起来觉得不错，渐渐让人舒缓情绪，随之陶醉在歌曲中。听着听着，还不禁让人联想到某Tinker Bell电影的主题曲。
回味歌词：
Oh please ne'er forget me though waves now lie o'er me
I was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free
But destiny tore me from country and loved ones
And from the new land I was never to see.
A poor emigrant's daughter too frightened to know
I was leaving forever the land of my soul
Amid struggle and fear my parents did pray
To place courage to leave o'er the longing to stay.
They spoke of a new land far away 'cross the sea
And of peace and good fortune for my brothers and me
So we parted from townland with much weeping and pain
'Kissed the loved ones and the friends we would ne'er see again.
The vessel was crowded with disquieted folk
The escape from past hardship sustaining their hope
But as the last glimpse of Ireland faded into the mist
Each one fought back tears and felt strangely alone.
The seas roared in anger, making desperate our plight
And a fever came o'er me that worsened next night
Then delirium possessed me and clouded my mind
And I for a moment saw that land left behind.
I could hear in the distance my dear mother's wailing
And the prayers of three brothers that I'd see no more
And I felt father's tears as he begged for forgiveness
For seeking a new life on the still distant shore.
Oh please ne'er forget me though waves now lie o'er me
I was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free
But destiny tore me from country and loved ones
And from the new land I was never to see.
