"Mary O’Hara’s Theme" (previously known as Heaven and Dancing or Sing Higher) is a solved lostwave that originated from a music video that aired on the Turkish TV channel TRT3's Pop Saati program.

On June 13th, 2024, the OP uploaded a higher quality version of the music video, noting in the description that he believes that the song was recorded between 1998 and 2000.

It has been confirmed that Northern Irish fiddle player Dominic McNabb was featured in the video, as his obituary mentions that "to his great amusement, he appeared in a pop video, wrapped in rope while playing the fiddle at the Giant's Causeway," which also confirms the video's filming location as The Giant's Causeway in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
