As … Read Full Bio ↴Orthodox Celts is an irish folk rock band from Belgrade, Serbia.
As a popular band playing Irish music, Orthodox Celts are practically unique not only in Serbia but in the whole of Southeastern Europe and further afield. Despite their unusual music, since their founding in 1993 they have been one of the most popular bands in Serbia. Their music led to a popularisation of Irish and Celtic music and other aspects of Irish and Celtic culture in Serbia, especially Guinness beer. The band members are fans of the Celtic F.C., and some of the band's fans are too.
The band started their career with traditional Irish songs and, gradually, introduced more and more of their own material (lyrics mostly by Aleksandar, music mostly by Ana). All their songs are in the English language (or as they say, in the Irish language), but the group has composed some purely instrumental songs as well. In addition, the band has released several videos.
The Orthodox Celts have had several tours and numerous concerts inside and outside of the country (including in the Sava Center, one of the largest concert halls in Serbia). It is already a tradition of theirs to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a large concert in Belgrade.
In all of the band's interviews, they state that their greatest desire is to tour Ireland!

I can see all the beauty and joy of the world
With the sparkle of light that burns inside
The sun and the moon and the best part of me
Far above is the sun that will cheer us along
The way that we go
I can see all the things that I wanted to be
So baby don't be afraid and never be sad
just follow that rythm of the skies and the trees
Far above is the sun that will cheer us along
The way that we go
So forget all the tears and the things that are real
Forget all the bad things that this life could bring
With your arms open wide to hold, I'll be beside you forever in time..
When I look down into your eyes
I can see all the universe circling around
Just go follow your spirit and you'll never grow old
Your faith and your soul aren't the the things to be sold
Far above is the sun that will cheer us along
The way that we go
So forget all the tears and the things that are real
Forget all the bad things that this life could bring
With your arms open wide to hold, I'll be beside you forever in time
So forget all the tears and the things that are real
Forget all the bad things that this life could bring
With your arms open wide to hold, I'll be beside you forever in time.
The song "Your Song" by the Orthodox Celts is a heartfelt and uplifting ode to a loved one. The lyrics describe the beauty and joy that the singer sees when looking into the eyes of their partner. It is clear that the singer feels a deep connection with their loved one, a connection that extends beyond this world and into the universe itself. The reference to the sun and moon suggests that this connection, this love, is something eternal and all-encompassing.
The singer encourages their loved one to follow their spirit, to never grow old, and to hold onto their faith and soul. The message is one of hope and positivity, urging the recipient to forget about the bad things in life and focus on the good. The repetition of the phrase "with your arms open wide to hold, I'll be beside you forever in time" is a promise of unwavering love and support.
All in all, "Your Song" is a beautifully written song that captures the essence of love and the power it holds to lift us up and carry us through life's hardships.
