Review by Ryan Ralph

Celtic Harp Romance by Claire Hamilton: A Journey Through Strings and Soul If you're a sucker for covers that breathe new life into old favorites, Celtic Harp Romance is gonna hit the spot. Released in 2008 under Smith & Co Sound & Vision, this album takes some of the biggest pop, folk, and world hits from the past few decades and gives them a Celtic twist. And trust me—it works. Claire Hamilton’s harp playing feels like someone wrapped your soul in a cozy blanket made of rainbows or something. Weird visual? Maybe. True? Absolutely. Let’s talk about two tracks that stuck with me long after pressing play: “Somewhere Only We Know” and “You’re Beautiful.” First up, “Somewhere Only We Know.” Keane’s original version already tugs at your heartstrings, but Claire’s take? Wow, it transforms the whole vibe. The harp makes it softer, dreamier—like walking barefoot through misty fields while memories whisper around you. It’s haunting yet comforting, if that makes sense. Every note feels deliberate, almost as if she’s telling her own secret story alongside Keane’s lyrics. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to get so lost in this track, but here we are. Then there’s “You’re Beautiful.” James Blunt’s voice has always been polarizing—you either love it or kinda cringe—but Claire strips away all the drama and leaves just the melody behind. Her harp rendition feels innocent, almost childlike, which somehow makes the song feel less cheesy and more… genuine? Like, instead of thinking about awkward karaoke nights, you imagine standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean, letting the wind mess up your hair. Not bad for a tune that usually gets played at weddings (no judgment). Now, full disclosure: this album repeats a lot of tracks. Yeah, yeah, I know—it can feel redundant when you see titles popping up twice or even three times. But honestly? By the time you notice, you’re too busy floating in Celtic-harp bliss to care. What really struck me about Celtic Harp Romance is how timeless it feels. These songs span decades, genres, and countries, but they blend together like they were meant to be part of the same family. Weirdly enough, listening to this album felt like flipping through an old photo album where everyone looks happy—even though you know life wasn’t perfect back then. Maybe that’s why it works so well; Claire doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, she just adds glitter to it. Final thought: If you ever find yourself needing background music for literally anything—reading, chilling, crying over spilled coffee—this might be your jam. Just don’t blame me if you start humming “Hijo de la Luna” during your next Zoom meeting.
