Legend has it that this is a very traditional Gaelic song. It is a song of unrequited love for a young fisherman. There are many variations of the story relating to this song, but one version says that it was written at the end of the 18th century by Sìne NicFhionnlaigh from Tong, Isle of Lewis for Donald MacRae of Uig, Isle of Lewis. Further versions state that although this is a song full of despair, the couple ended up marrying a year after the song was penned. 

Fhir a’ bhàta sna hò ro èile,	
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an tèid thu	

Translation
Oh Boatman - a fond farewell wherever you go.

Fear a' Bhàta

White Lights(Demo old song)

If you’re out there call my name
I can see you on the horizon now
I’m running scared that you won’t find me
Look away…

Hide the stones behind the mask
Let the white doves into the darkness
Hollowed lines setting like clockwork
Falling away..

Is anybody out there 
Can anyone see me here
Can anyone hear me breathing

See the keepers catch my eye
Watch me reappear through your looking glass
We’ll set our future dreams to everlast
Don’t run away

Is anyone out there 
Can anyone see me here
Can anybody hear me breathing

Oh Is anybody out there 
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there

Out There
