#SlowAirSunday: Mist Covered Mountains
Live Bagpipe Performance by Dark Isle Piper
This song feels like a longing for home with its wistful calming melody.

Tune History:
This slow air is also known in Scottish Gaelic as "Chì mi na mòrbheanna" and is commonly known in English as "The Mist-Covered Mountains of Home." Written in 1856 by Highlander John Cameron a native of Ballachulish and known locally in the Gaelic fashion as Iain Rob and Iain Òg Ruaidh.
The song is a longing for home with its wistful calming melody and traditional ballad rhythms it is often used as a lullaby.

Dark Isle Piper's message:
"Sometimes I find myself moving through life too quickly.
Driving home after performing at a wedding I saw the most breathtaking views of the Mountains and I had to stop and enjoy the beauty. So I pulled over in a small turn out and got out of my car just to breath in all the beauty. Listening to the birds singing as the sun was setting brought me so much peace. I needed the moment more than I realized. Then the idea occurred to me that I should join in celebrating the sunset so I pulled out my Bagpipes and my fingers found the perfect tune to play at that moment, "Mist Covered Mountains". Inspired by the beauty around me, I couldn't just drink it all in by myself. I wanted to share it with the world. So here it is, cars flying by in the back ground and all!
Let's all take moments out of our busy schedules to Breathe in the beauty all around us daily. It will inspire you, I promise!
