There’s feeling  amongst some of the people
For those who stole a land a long time ago
Entitlement is an institution
Encouragement a seed not sown..

Hate begets the crime of persecution
Fear is just the sign of the times
Violence is not a resolution
Charity is seen as a crime.

(Chorus)
So we’re just
Look for a reason
A change in the season
Lookin for a reason 
I hope so!

Tragedy has become entertainment
Security comes at other’s demise
The possibility to stop this momentum
Rests in your heart and in your mind

Injustice done in the name of Love

Tone-Whole-Tri

Colin Dipper Concertina A/E. Takes a bit more air than a C/G, but it's got a lovely sound to it. 

Dipper A/E Concertina

Lay your fire by the lake
While you drive another stake
Into my heart and grey matter
There's no sound when these things shatter

My dreams dream up scenes for you
You play parts I don't want you do
I'm all out of second chances
I'll break my neck for one more glance

I swear I will, I swear I will
I swear that I'm the best freshest kill
Yeah sink you teeth in just say you will
and say that I'm say that I'm say that I'm 
the best freshest kill

Jump into my folded arms
Bounce right back and cause more harm
Change your mind, fine ..I'll change mine
I'll help you with your step and my blind eye

(chorus)

Well I won't change so don't you cry
Celebrate this memory when it dies
Like a movie fades to black
Who'll mend St. Valentine's broken back

"Freshest Kill" (Original Song)

Some piping for a change. The Air is from the playing of Tommy Potts (pictured). I'd heard much about Tommy from James Kelly, who recounts Tommy, his mannerisms, and his playing in vivid detail. Too,  Paddy Moloney and I spoke about Tommy at length. Paddy told me how he produced "The Liffey Banks," what the sessions where like, and what kind of tape he used to record, etc. Tommy's emotion, virtuosity, and  imagination continue to inspire me. Here's my humble attempt of trying to get some of what Tommy did, from the fiddle to the pipes. (Played on a Hunter Chanter)

"An Buachaill Caol Dubh"

Acoustic Blues Slide Guitar (2 cues for Indie Film)

(Quite old - Not my best work but whatevvva)

Too much to ask
From faces walking past
Run my hands over them
Take all that I have to give

Cobbled streets with no name
Hobbled by the rain
Perfect features they flare
And all I can do is just stare

Afraid to Ask
My fears
Are near
Clare

Burren blacker than my soul
Black like nobody knows
Things I've here undone
I'm here now I won't have to run

Afraid to Ask
My fears
Are near
Clare

Your fears like shores that called me here once more
It's your voice It's your voice
Your black black hair and the red of your skin against the pale pale

Ceol
