Cool tribal vibe. Love the pulsating beat and dramatic flair. 🌟

Chris: Lyrics & melody arrangement/vocals/Brauchli lapslide/audio engineering
Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

Take me down
Throw me around
Cut me in half with your sharp tongue

You're under my skin
I'm cavin in as you
Suck all the air out of my lungs

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now

Whenever we drive
Those searchin eyes are always
Stuck behind in the rearview

Are you afraid
Some rainy day
Your past might pull up behind you

But it's nothin new, nothin old
No story that
Ain't been told
So I won't say a thing tonight

You're a shooting star
But I wish you'd put the gun down
You're a work of art but I can't
Get close enough to touch now
You're an angel on earth
So now the lines are all blurred
You're a dream
And I can't wake up, I can't wake up

I don't want to
I don't want to
But I'm stuck on you
I don't want to
I don't want to

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to
I'm stuck on you
Oh I'm stuck on you

Voici ma composition instrumentale pour piano et flûte « Fantoches », écrite en juin 2021. Suite de « Poupées de plumes ». J’ai souhaité aborder le Mode 2 de Messiaen dans cette composition (Mais avec quelques dissonances seulement). Bonne écoute.

Here is my instrumental composition for piano, flute  « Fantoches » , written written in June 2021. I wanted to approach Messiaen's Mode 2 in this composition (But with only a few dissonances). Good listening.

Fantoches - Original Piano Instrumental

Just Before Dawn
--------------------
Night is dark and deep (so deep)
The angels are asleep, so sweet (so sweet)

Coming through
Just before dawn, (here) 
the borderland, in between, 
awake and dream.

Strange it seems
Just before dawn, (now)
Silence embrace,
this place.

Angels sleep
Just before dawn, (and)
no one's here to cast
the demons away 
so they stay till dawn has come

Just Before Dawn

I Never Thought You'd Be The One(to break my heart.)

Not Alone

Lyrics:
I was thinking ‘bout you this morning
Can’t explain exactly why
Maybe it’s just this time of year
‘Bout a year ago you said good-bye
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say
 
I can still see you at the kitchen table
Yeah, it’s where you started almost every day
I was reading the paper…you were reading your tea leaves
You said they helped you find your way
Chorus: 
I don’t want to hold you back now
There’s nothing left to say

So I’m writing you this letter
That I’ll probably never send
But you can read it in your tea leaves
See just how the story ends
Chorus: 
Oh, I don’t want to hold you back now
Oh, There’s nothing left to say
