Spoken poem from 'A Joyful Sadness' collection by Enda McGloin.

Just Jammin'

Adrift a poem written and read by Enda McGloin from 'A Joyful Sadness' collection, © Millroad Irsko Publishing 2013.

Adrift

A haunting ballad with Guitar, violin and bass sparingly weaving a tale of turbulence and the chase on a stormy night, building to a full chorus of strings- Mandolin, Banjo, mandola, dobro, drums, and vocal harmonies with imagery of sacrifice redeemed through love to salvation.

4. Saviour

A relationship and life's journey meld with shared imagery and lessons. Piano and strings evoke this weaving tale.
