Bright Blue Rose

Christy Moore

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unscathed, unharmed.
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.
For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand

For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand

For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Belfast written by Alex Quinn.
 
Of all the places I have been, there’s only one to fill my dreams.
The place that lingers in my mind is the town I’ve left behind.
I’ve been away now for too many years, I’ve read all the papers they told of your tears.
Though I’ve left you with a heart that’s been torn,
I’m coming home now, to the place I was born
Chorus : That’s Belfast you call to me , when I am far away, I think of thee , Your Blackmountain, Cave Hill, City Hall, Shaw’s Bridge, River Lagan,
I’m going home to them all.
 
I’ll meet friends and relations , each one I’ll embrace ,
We’ll pass round the pictures , which time can’t erase
And it won’t be long now ’til I see them all,
Then I’ll walk round the old streets and good times I’ll recall .
 
Chorus : In Belfast you call to me , when I am far away, I think of thee ,
Your Blackmountain, Cave Hill, City Hall, Shaw’s Bridge, River Lagan,
I’m going home to them all.

Saint Sister – Dreams- sung by Morgana and Gemma at Lyra McKee funeral service in Belfast #thecranberries

‘Derry is such a beautiful city. I’ve fallen in love with it over the past year, while falling in love with a woman who hails from it. Here’s to better times ahead and saying goodbye to bombs and bullets once and for all.’ – Lyra McKee Today we stand with her, & Derry & Belfast.

Dreams

The Cranberries

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

Aah, la-ah-la-ah
La-la-la
La-ah-la-ah

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they’ll come true
Impossible not to do
Possible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
You’re what I couldn’t find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
‘Cause you’re a dream to me
Dream to me

Paddy Reilly, The Fields of Athenry.

The Fields of Athenry

The Dubliners

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
“Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan’s corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay”

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
“Nothing matters, Mary, when you’re free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity”

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived in hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

Lankum- The Young People

The South Wind Blows
@SouthWind_Blows

Lankum shining a light on the dark side of Irish culture
 
There’s a “Not In Kansas, anymore” at the very beginning of Lankum’s new take on boozy standard, ‘The Wild Rover’. The 10 minute-plus recording starts with a caterwauling note that hangs jaggedly in…

Lyrics

It’s long gone that I carry on

From December

It is no matter

If you remember

Mold, paper, bad wine

And too much bedside whiskey

I will roll my heart up

I will roll my heart up in my sleeve
Now it is your line

I know that I wrote it

And if you tell a lie

Well, no one will notice

And of you and I

Well, I was the loudest

While you stayed quiet

We were surrounded
It’s long gone that I carry on

From the winter

I asked you upstairs

Until we tangled in my hair

You were never onefor chronic chatteringY

our heart beat pale

While I flew my colors

I flew my colors like a sail
Now it is your line

I know that I wrote it

And if you tell a lie

Well, no one will notice

And of you and I

Well, I was the loudest

While you stayed quiet

We were surrounded
I will roll my heart up

I will roll my heart upI will roll my heart up

I will roll my heart up
