Lyric Added: An Irishman Returns

4/12/2015

0 Comments

 
After listening to a number of wonderful old Irish folk songs, I was struck with the desire to try my hand at writing one. After some time, and many failed attempts, I found the story I was searching for and put it to song. It involves an old Irishman, full of woe, nostalgia and regret, who is finally returning to his beloved Ireland in feeble health so that he may be buried there. I think I captured something grand in it, but I'll leave you to be the judge. Enjoy!
