Today's ethereal random song is by Moya Brennan and Órla Fallon. Moya Brennan, also known as the First Lady of Celtic Music, first achieved fame with the band Clannad which was formed in 1970. In 1992 she released her first solo album. She has since released 12 albums as a solo artist or in collaboration with others and three live albums, as well as her work with Clannad. She also has been a vocal advocate for the blind and nature preservation, as well as those struggling with addiction based on her own struggles with alcohol and drugs as recounted in her autobiography. Órla Fallon is a harpist who first achieved musical success with the group Celtic Woman. She is also a member of the chamber choir Anúna. She released her first solo album in 2000 and joined Celtic Woman in 2004 as a founding member. She left the group in 2009 to have a break and focus on her family, but in 2010 she became the first former member of Celtic Woman to star in her own TV special, Celtic Christmas on PBS. She also released two Christmas albums that year, and another solo album in 2011. You can find this song, Forgotten, on the double album The Music of Ireland: Welcome Home (2011) released by Readers Digest and which was a PBS Special.
