'Pretty Gaelic words'

From noting down our inspirations Names and Band Titles we all agreed on using a translated word/ phrase. Using a word of foreign origin would create a unique and interesting ambience to our band.

Examples being MØ, who used her Danish origin initials as her stage name, and Bon Iver which directly translate to 'Good winter.'

As Kodaline is an Irish band, we felt using a Gaelic phrase/word would suit the track and our bands atmosphere.

After researching on Google we came across a website which gave 'Irelands 50 prettiest words.'

After searching through all 50 we found a striking winner. 
Ceol, pronounced 'Ky-ol' with a direct translation into 'Music' and 'song' however with a much deeper meaning of 'the rhythm within us.' 
Bam. 
Band name and Album title material in one.
