<p>This is one of my all time favorite videos of Notre Dame.</p>
<p>I encourage all prospective applicants to watch it. </p>
<p>Also if anyone knows the very last song, can you please tell me</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Here's the link. <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3843422%5B/url%5D">http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3843422</a></p>
<p>Your right Tim, that is a very good video. I also really like the videos they have on the ND website. I saw those at my visit, but they are still nice to watch again. </p>
<p>Tim, I was wondering...you are all over the ND boards and you are very active on this site. I know that you are applying this year but how do you know you'll get in? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I was just curious. After my campus visit at ND I was on this web site all of the time just trying to learn more about ND because I fell in love with the campus. However, I stopped coming here, hoping that I wouldn't feel as attached to ND so in the case of recieving a rejection letter I would be able to handle it better (believe me though, ND is my 1st choice school and it will be very heart breaking if I get a rejection letter). I can tell you love the campus and you have wanted to go to ND for a very long time...what will happen if that doesn't work out for you? Do you even have other colleges in mind?</p>
<p>That is an excellent video.</p>
<p>And I believe the song is "Here come the Irish" sung by Cathy Richardson. I've been wondering that for awhile as well. Couldn't find it on iTunes, but it's on this CD: <a href="http://www.bkstr.com/ProductDisplay/10001-35938-10900-4000000000000205997-1?demoKey=d%5B/url%5D">http://www.bkstr.com/ProductDisplay/10001-35938-10900-4000000000000205997-1?demoKey=d</a>.</p>
<p>Leaf_,</p>
<p>I dont know that I'll get in. I like going on Nd boards because I get to talk about something thats very important to me, Notre Dame. I love discussing all things about it, because to me its a lot more than a school. Ive been attached to Notre Dame for so long, so... IDK even if I dont get into Notre Dame... ND will still be a part of me.................. I just hope that one day I will be a part of Notre Dame</p>
<p>"I can tell you love the campus and you have wanted to go to ND for a very long time...what will happen if that doesn't work out for you?"</p>
<p>-- Ive asked myself this question a lot.... and really, If I dont get in I dont really have a choice ... Im just going to have to move on, however difficult that may be and hope I get in next time</p>
<p>I try to focus on the positives though, leaf, and I suggest you do the same</p>
<p>Thanks shellzie...Ive heard that song so many times, but I could never find the name of it</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Again, I wasn't trying to be mean at all. I was just wondering how you could be so confident. </p>
<p>As soon as I stepped on to campus I knew that ND was where I wanted to go to college. When I went on my visit this summer I was hesitant to fall in love with it because one of my friends was on the waiting list and she and I have very similar stats. I didn't want to go through the heartbreak that she went through. My parents are also kind of annoying about this whole college seach thing. They keep telling my that I need to be able to be happy at whichever college I pick as #2 in case I don't get in. I've been to several others but nothing even comes close to ND. Sometimes I feel that I can get in and that it's almost "meant to be" but then I see some of the stats that these other kids post on the website and reality comes flooding back. You are right though..."focus on the positives."</p>
<p>leaf, I am not confident. Trust me, I am just as scarred and as nervous as you that I wont get in. I dread the day ( if it ever comes ) that I get rejected.... but there is no point in worrying about it.... Put your anxiousness into studying a bit for the next ACT, or doing well on the next test. Its still in our hands, which is a good feeling......... and when we are done with the app, lets go out and enjoy senior year and whatever happens, happens</p>
<p>Tim they showed this video at orientation it was very moving. I love "here Come the irish" I've heard it on you tube it is great. Good luck with the Application process I lit a candle out there for all of you fellow applicants.</p>

<p>theres the link of the song on youtube... its really moving</p>
<p>Im trying to find the lyrics... shellzie? Kr?</p>
<p>nm I copied them down</p>
<p>And there's a magic in the sound of her name
Here come the Irish…. of Notre Dame</p>
<p>well I remember the leaves a falling
and far off music like pipes a calling
and I remember the golden morning
I saw the long ranks as they were forming</p>
<p>And there's a magic in the sound of her name
Here come the Irish of Notre Dame</p>
<p>The pilgrims follow by sacred waters
and arm in arm go the sons and daughters
the drums are rolling and forward bound
they're calling spirits up from the ground</p>
<p>and there's a magic in the sound of her name
Here come the Irish… of Notre Dame</p>
<p>(Flute thing solo)</p>
<p>And there's a magic in the sound of her name
Here come the Irish…. of Notre Dame</p>
<p>Here come the Irish… of Notre Dame</p>
<p>(Flute thing solo)</p>
<p>(Piano solo)</p>
<p>Here Come the Irish is the single best song ever written and preformed by anyone in the history of the universe ever. After the Fight Song, I guess.</p>
<p>is there another place i could watch that video because it wont let me. something about javascript?</p>
<p>really??</p>
<p>umm its just a myspacetv page... so I wouldnt know</p>
<p>Just let it run, and if there is a pop up question.... then just X it out</p>
<p>That usually works when that stuff happens to me</p>
<p>btw... I agree kevdude... its a great song..... i love the passion she has when she sings it</p>
<p>it really is a magical place... i took a midnight jog last night--i have a route that let's me see every famous ND landmark!--but anyways, i there was a deer just sprinting across the quad right in front of me! as i ran by the stadium! if that's magic i don't know what is lol</p>
<p>The video was moving. It captures what Notre Dame is. An elite institution staying true to its roots. A rarity in the elitist secular academic environment of today.</p>
<p>jvon I am glad you are enjoying ND so much. You certainly deserve to experience the magic .</p>
<p>"Here Come the Irish" was written by John Scully (ND '81) and Jim Tullio. Scully is playing piano and Tullio plays guitar in the video. Here's a little more info about him:

<p>amom, I dont think your link is working</p>
<p>but anyway... its a great song, and my mom is getting angry because im playing it so loudly </p>
<p>she thinks that Cathy Richardson ( the lady singing ) sounds like a cow, which I completely disagree with .</p>
<p>I caught myself hymning it to myself walking to class, and I think I realized that I have listened to it too much</p>
<p>also I though Scully graduated in 80'</p>
