LOREENA MCKENNIT:THE OLD WAYS



MEANING OF THE SONG. READ THIS FORUM AND FIND OUT: BELOW I'm pasting one of the most accurate opinions on the possible meaning of the song. 


FORUM OPINION 1: 

" As the composer of this beautiful and haunting song, this is what Loreena herself says about 'The Old Ways": "I spent a most haunting New Year's Eve in Doolin, County Clare, Ireland some years ago, and was moved by the antiquity of some of the celebrations. Yet I was met by deep reminders that they may be the remnants of the old world meeting the "new". - L.M. 

In an attempt to find full meaning in this lyric, it helps much to know that in Irish culture, the term 'the old ways' holds special meaning - to the very proud Irish people, the old ways refers to a rich and vanished history and culture, including the language, religion, writing, myth, and cultures as well.

Therefore, while the lyrics suggest the memory of a lost love, on a deeper plane, they reflect the memory of the vanishing culture of a proud people - and if you have Irish blood -as I'm sure Loreena does- the concept of 'the old ways' contains an imperative that the memory buried deep within every Irish soul must, like the caged bird of Loreena's lyrics, seek release and recall."

FORUM OPINION 2:

"I always pictured her falling in love with a Selkie. It explains (to me anyways) all the references to water, besides the fact that they're obviously on the coast on an island. The lines that put this meaning in my head was "Suddenly, I knew that you'd have to go./Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so" because a Selkie was not capable of living out of the water for long periods of time. The sea always called them home."

B2-C1 PREPOSITION PLACEMENT - FORMAL- INFORMAL REGISTER

FROM : GRAMMAR QUIZZES.COM

B1- B2-C1 Two Placements — End of Clause vs. Before Interrogative Pronoun

PREP AT THE END OF CLAUSE
A clause with an interrogative pronoun —who(m), where, when, why, how —which takes the place of the object in a prepositional phrase, may be worded as a question with the preposition at the end of the clause. See Grammar Notes regarding the long disputed rule "no prepositions at the end".¹
QUESTIONS
Who(m) is a dating service for? ("for" is stranded at the end) The dating service is for whom?
Who(m) did you give your number to? You gave your number to who(m)?
What kind of hobbies are you interested in? You are interested in what kind of hobbies?
What does she look like? She looks like what?
Where do you come from? You come from where?
What are you concerned about? You are concerned about what?
Which card did you pay with? You paid with which card?
SHORT QUESTIONS
What for?   (expression)  purpose
Who for?  (expression)  recipient
Where to?  (expression)  toward a direction
What with?  (expression)  means or method, or tool
EMBEDDED QUESTIONS= INDIRECT QUESTIONS
Can you tell me what you are looking for?   (verbal idiom)
Do you know who she is talking to?
Do you have any idea what this is for?    purpose
Please let me know which person you are interested in?  (verbal + PP)

B2-C1 

PREP BEFORE INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN
Some speakers prefer to keep the prepositional phrase together. They position the preposition before the interrogative pronoun at the beginning of the clause. While this placement is good for business and academic usage, it may sound overly formal in some contexts that are personal.
QUESTIONS
For whom is a dating service?  Formal wording is appropriate for business, legal, and academic usage.
To whom did you give your number?
In what kind of hobbies are you interested? formal In which kind of program are you interested?
Like what does she look?  not used
From where do you come?  very formal
~About what are you concerned?  This is overly formal wording for a personal context.
With which card did you pay? formal
SHORT QUESTIONS
