There's something magical in Celtic music that makes my spirit soar beyond mundane boundaries every time I listen to it. I don't know how the Irish could keep loads of those great old melodies during the time and why we, Iranians, couldn't. I wish we could. Those Celtic melodies divinely express a spectrum of different senses from wisdom, joy and love to the deepest grief. Iranian musicians say that in Iran we have just kept the grief part during the time, and lost most of our vivacious melodies, that's why we are now the top sad nation in the world. Without music we are spiritless and gloomy.Anyway. It's been some days that I can't change my playlist to play any other item than Loreena McKennitt's songs. Her voice is unique and makes part of me departing during any of her songs. Mixed with some eastern instruments she sometimes shifts to new age style. In 2006, she gave an album called An Ancient Muse, 9 years after her last album in 1997. In 2007 she had a concert in Alhambra, Spain. This video is from that concert:

Once I told you about a strange thing among casual music listeners in Iran that they almost all of them like Irish singers. Then I listed a bunch of singers and groups that you know them too. I did not think that it would appear as a post later.
any way it is a good post.
keep listening
I totally agree with this "Iranian musicians say that in Iran we have just kept the grief part during the time, and lost most of our vivacious melodies, that's why we are now the top sad nation in the world. Without music we are spiritless and gloomy."
This is one of the real causes, but not the only, and this itself is an effect of some other causes, that we all know some of them.
