This is a song my mother, Mary McCarthy, used to sing, she liked it a lot. It’s a song about a dead mother and child, it’s a serious song. I learned very recently it was written by Deirdre Scanlan who recorded it on a CD called 'Speak Softly' in 1999.  Deirdre said she used to sing it regularly in the singer's club in Banagher and Birr.  I reckon my Uncle John (McCarthy) would have heard it there then taught it to my mother.

Speak Softly / From the Grave

limerence
[ li-mer-uhns ]

noun

the state of being obsessively infatuated with someone, usually accompanied by delusions of or a desire for an intense romantic relationship with that person: ‘Her limerence lasted for around three months before she actually met him.’

'Limerence' is about being in the wild throws of a new love, an infatuating whirlwind from where you might elope to Mexico, brush each others teeth and have sex under trees
