It really breaks my heart to see a dear old friend Go down to the worn out place again Do you know the sound Of a closing door Have you heard that sound before Do you wonder if she knows you anymore I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye Where did you learn to walk Where did you learn to run Away from everything you loved Did you think the bottle Would ever ease your pain Did you think that love’s a foolish game Did you find someone else to take the blame I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye I am a sturdy soul And there ain’t no shame In lying down in the bed you made Can you fight the urge to run for another day You might make it further if you learn to stay I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye
“The newest music video from The Lumineers shows the heartbreak and destruction brought by alcoholism, as it follows the path of fictional Gloria Sparks, a woman whose alcoholism destroys her family.
“Gloria” is the first song released from The Lumineers’ upcoming album III, which follows three generations of the fictional Sparks family. In the music video, Gloria is seen drinking around her infant, fighting with her spouse, and ultimately leaving the scene of a car accident that she caused.”
these are the reasons I drink the reasons I tell everybody I’m fine even though I am not these are the reasons I overdo it I have been working since I can remember since I was single digits And now even though I’ve been busted I don’t where to draw the line ‘cause the groove has gotten so deep And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more hit it feels so helpful in my need for respite ohhhh Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh And here are the reasons I eat Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I’m not medicated So that’s it I am buying a lamborghini to make up for these habits to survive this sick industry And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more sip It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit These are the reasons I can’t even see straight And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects and I am left wondering how I would I function without it Here we are i feel such rapture and the comfort is so strong Ohhhh one more rip I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh

Christy Moore appears on RTÉ Primetime to perform his new single ‘Arthurs Day’ and give his views on the ‘Arthurs Day’ events organised by drinks company Diageo who manufacture Guinness.
Diageo Diageo have mounted a Crusade
Creating Arthur’s Day, they’ve suckered us into their charade
Start ’em off on Alco-Pops tastes just like lemonade
Get ’em into the hit while they’re young and none the wiser
Diageo pump the volume up on Arthur’s Day
With The Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, Tom Jones and David Gray
To flog their alcohol, they’re revving the youngsters up for a mighty spree
Twitter and Facebook telling them where The Mumford’s ‘r going to be
Chorus
Happy Happy Happy Happy Arthur’s Day
It’s such…. a Happy Clappy Advertising’ Scheme
Drink sensibly they implore us, as their Hosannas sound a never-ending chorus
‘n kids get hooked on the fantasies that flash before us
Arthurs Alcoholiday is coming round again
He’s the patron saint of porter canonized by the Advertising’ Men
The medics in the ambulance ‘ll be working overtime,
The A&E ‘ll be like a drunk tank in the firing line
While Diageo goes AWOL at closing time
See Christy Live

It really breaks my heart to see a dear old friend Go down to the worn out place again Do you know the sound Of a closing door Have you heard that sound before Do you wonder if she knows you anymore I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye Where did you learn to walk Where did you learn to run Away from everything you loved Did you think the bottle Would ever ease your pain Did you think that love’s a foolish game Did you find someone else to take the blame I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye I am a sturdy soul And there ain’t no shame In lying down in the bed you made Can you fight the urge to run for another day You might make it further if you learn to stay I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye
