William Joseph Updates
We cannot tell you how excited we are to post this news! A few months ago the great Brendan Graham (who wrote “You Raise Me Up”) heard William perform in Los Angeles, and after hearing "Sweet Remembrance Of You" he was so inspired that he wanted to add lyrics. Now William and Brendan have created the beautiful anthem “O, America” and the Irish supergroup Celtic Woman have adopted it as their own! They have sung it every night on their American tour, and their adoring fans have rewarded the song with a standing ovation every night. And now, this song will be released to the world on June 23, 2009.
Please check out a clip of Celtic Woman performing “O, America”
here.
Let us and all the fans of Celtic Woman know what you think of this beautiful song, sprung from William’s absolutely beautiful “Sweet Remembrance of You.” Feel free to post your comments on William’s message board, but also this brand new board created on the Celtic Woman website.

Oh America
OMG what a moving song! I hear Celtic Woman sing this in Charlotte and it was literally powerful! I love hearing this song on youtube (doesn't do them justice) and I hope it's on the new DVD/CD.
Fantastic news!

This is great to hear--I know William was excited about it when he announced it here when I saw him in North Carolina. Keep up the good work, and I hope the tour is going well, also!
Sweet Rememberance of You
I have been dying to hear Celtic Woman sing 'Sweet Rememberance of You', ever since I heard William announce on PBS. I enjoyed it so much!
"O America"
What a BEAUTIFUL Tribute To both America, and William's creation of "Sweet Remembrance of You." I had to chuckle as I noted a woman in the audience wiping away tears...for I was doing the same. My 13 year old daughter Rachel, whom you have met William, was watching and listening with me and she too fell in love with this song, and with the "Celtic Woman" group. What I just witnessed was a spark of perfection. How beautiful!! Thank You William, Brendan Graham, and Celtic Woman. You have created a piece of Heaven on earth.
