Name: 4. Saviour by Enda McGloin
Duration: 3 min 52 s
Description: 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.

Really looking forward to playing the Stoney Woods Festival Concert, Friday 29th June, great weekend of music and fun.

Katie's Song
 
Tomorrow will never know
How you used to walk right through the door and say hello
Hold on
Sweet memories
 
Even though - yesterday may end
Your precious life’s a book my friend that never changes
Hold on
Eternally
 
Suddenly I can’t defend
How could this really be the end with you
Yesterday who knew
There’d be no tomorrow
 
And the world seems out of place
For the ones left in your wake
Who face tomorrow
 
I don’t know- where to go from here
Without you around nothing’s- very clear
Hold on
Sanity
 
Father Time- please to me be still
I get lost in the past and I always will
Hold on
Patiently
 
Deep inside, in my heart
I feel the worlds to blame
That something here has changed
Why must it re-arrange
Too much pain and sorrow
 
And now the world is not the same
And I think to myself
I can’t trust tomorrow
 
When will I see your smile again
Where are you to help face tomorrow
Hold on
Bravely
 
But you are near
A gift and saving grace
Your children now walk through the door
And I see your face
And Hold on
They say to me
 
When suddenly I can’t defend
How could this really be the end with you
A memory or two- I’ll show tomorrow
 
And when the world seems out of place
For the ones left in your wake
May your love be borrowed
                                   
May we all
Stand tall
We’ll raise a glass
And drink this one to you
 
And we pray
To the day
Together again
Is what we’ll be with you.

Katie's Song

For my brother Dara who passed away in 2015

You Don't Miss What You've Got Till It's Gone

Guitar, Mandloin, Mandola, Banjo climb to a crescendo and fall away as a wave to the shore or waterfall crashes to subside in a pool before repeating the movement again. Exploring the gentle strength of a love as a source of comfort, safety and redemption.

2. Waterfall

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.
