The Ghost of Mick Mc Donnell radio interview on Stadsradio IRO

The January man written by: Dave Goulder
Performed live at De Cultuurloft, Gent Belgium. January 2014

Lyrics.

The January man, he goes around in woollen coat and boots of leather.
The February man still wipes the snow from off his clothes and blows his hands.
The man of March he sees the Spring and wonders what the year will bring
And hopes for better weather.

Through April rain the man goes down to watch the birds come in to share the summer.
The man of May stands very still to watch the children dance away the day.
In June the man inside the man is young and wants to lend a hand
And smiles at each new colour

And in July the man in cotton shirt, he sits and thinks of being idle.
The August man in thousands take the road to find the sun and watch the sea.
September man is standing near to saddle up and lead the year
And Autumn is his bridle.

And the man of new October takes the reins and early frost is on his shoulder.
The poor November man sees fire and mist and wind and rain and Winter air.
December man looks through the snow to let eleven brothers know
They're all a little older.

And the January man comes round again in coat and boots of leather
To take another turn and walk along the icy road he knows so well.
The January man is here the start each and every year
Along the road forever.

The January Man. Live at De Cultuurloft

Kintsugi or kintsukuroi is the art of fixing broken pottery with a special lacquer dusted with powdered gold dating back to the 15th Century. It is related to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, believing that when something has suffered damage or has flaws it becomes more beautiful.

Until My Wings Unfold

Tonight I’m going to drink myself pretty
let my mind and my emotions go
With a bottle of old time pity
In memory of someone I used to know

I’ve cried for every reason but the right one
Tears wont bring you back now you’re gone
I’ve had enough of playing second fiddle
A bitter melody and then it’s done

I know I’ll be fine
With patience and a little time
I’ll fill these cracks with gold
Until my wings unfold

Today I’m going to pick up the pieces
Put the bottle down and start anew
Let the darkness slowly turn to morning
Get hold of myself and over you

Chorus…

I’ll fill these cracks…
Until my wings unfold

Together We'll Fly High (Daithi Rua 2016)

As I stumble through the day
You catch me when I fall
When I need to hear your voice
You answer the call

When I need someone to hold me
In the evenings dimming light
You’re the one that reassures me
Everything will be all right 

Our life together starts today
A beautiful bouquet.
The good. The bad, the happy, sad
We’ll face along the way
Now we are as one, 
Never more alone
Together we’ll fly high
The seed of love’s been sown

When you feel your strength is going
And you need me as your crutch
Put your arms around me 
And feel my loving touch

Let me take your pain away
And feel your gentle hand
We’ll walk this road together
Through snow and burning sand

Together we’ll fly high 
We’ll dance, we’ll laugh we’ll cry
We’ll need no Alibi
Together we’ll fly high

Together We'll Fly High (Demo)

The first time ever I saw your face (Ewan MacColl)

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart beat close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face (Cover)
