6. From the album "Act Two", which song contains these lyrics? "Dark distant mountains with valleys of green Past painted deserts, the sunsets on fire"

"Mull of Kintyre" was originally written by Sir Paul McCartney in 1977. He states that he wrote the song as a tribute to the beauty of the Kintyre peninsula of Scotland.

7. Which song, sung by Ryan Kelly, is a remake of a Jim Croce song?

Answer: Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

This song was a hit for Croce in 1973. It has covered by more than ten artists, and is said to have inspired Freddy Mercury to write the song "Bring Back That Leroy Brown".

8. The song "Christmas 1915" appears on more than one Celtic Thunder CD.

Answer: True

It appears on "Celtic Thunder Christmas" as well as "Act Two". The song is a reference to the Christmas truces during World War I when soldiers from both sides would have a cease fire.

9. Which song has two different versions, one version on each of two separate CDs?

Answer: Heartland

"Heartland" is on the "Celtic Thunder" album, while "Heartland (Extended Version)" is on the "Act Two" album. The main difference is a monologue at the beginning of the song. This is the monologue:
Out of the mists of time, it comes.
"Older than the oldest rhyme, it comes.
Coursing through our veins, it comes.
Pulsing through our brains, it comes.
Crashing like a thunder roll,
Echoing in our very soul.
Listen for it as it comes.
The pure and primal sound of...
Drums!"

Answer: False

All of the members are from Ireland or Northern Ireland, except one. Daniel, Damian, Emmet, Neil, Paul and Keith are all from Ireland. Ryan is from Northern Ireland. George, however, is from Glasgow, Scotland.
