Thank you Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing "Walking With The Ancestors" a Celtic tune composed and arranged by Adrian von Ziegler.
Per Adrian von Ziegler "This song is already a bit older, I don't really know why it took so long to finally show it. It is quite a special song for me because I tried to express a very deep topic... As you know I'm from Switzerland, and Celtic culture has its birthplace right around this region, in the center of Europe. My country has therefore been inhabited by Celts for millennia, most notably the Helvetii. Sometimes when I walk through forests or mountains here I get this very powerful thought inside my head that my ancestors have seen the same forests and mountains 3'000 years ago. I don't really know how to describe why this thought touches me so deeply, but it does. I find it incredible that the eyes of an ancestor from 3 millennia in the past have seen the same mountains and lakes as I do now, and I often wonder how they thought and felt and lived. Celtic culture has now been a big part of my life for years and through all the songs that I make I constantly try to come closer to understand them - and ultimately to understand who I am and where I came from.
Anyway, thank you for reading my monologue, I know this probably means much more to me than to you, but I really wanted to share this. =) "
