Tonight's Music

This is the incredibly beautiful and talented Lisa Kelly singing the song Lift the Wings from the Riverdance - Live From New York City show. The song is a part of the segment called American Wake. When the Irish, mostly the younger generation, would leave for America (due to the Potato Famine) their families and friends who were being left behind would throw a wake for them just as though they were dead, because they realized that they would never see them again.
