LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin', me feet feelin' bright
I put on me green socks, and me shamrock delight
I headed to the kitchen, to find me some gold
But all I found was Lucky Charms, and a pot of coffee that was cold

[Chorus]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody's feelin' green
We're dancin' in the streets, with our leprechaun friends on the scene
We're searchin' for that pot of gold, but it's slippin' away
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, let's party all day!

[Verse 2]
I met a leprechaun, he was feelin' quite bold
He said "Top o' the morning, me dear, let's find that gold!"
We searched high and low, through the streets of Dublin town
But all we found were rainbow-colored socks, on a fiddle playin' clown

[Chorus]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody's feelin' green
We're dancin' in the streets, with our leprechaun friends on the scene
We're searchin' for that pot of gold, but it's slippin' away
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, let's party all day!

[Bridge]
We'll drink some green beer, and eat some Irish stew
We'll dance the jig, and sing "When Irish Eyes Are Smilin' too"
We'll make some new friends, and we'll have a ball
On this Saint Patrick's Day, yeah we'll stand tall!

[Chorus]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody's feelin' green
We're dancin' in the streets, with our leprechaun friends on the scene
We're searchin' for that pot of gold, but it's slippin' away
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, let's party all day!

[Outro]
So raise your glasses high, and give a hearty cheer
For the luck of the Irish, and the joy that's here
May your day be filled with laughter, and your night with fun
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, to everyone!

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Oh, Erin's emerald hills, they call to me
A siren's whisper, wild and free
In every breeze, I hear the sound
Of laughter, love, and memories unbound 

[Chorus]
Oh, Emerald Isle of home, I'm coming back to you
Where the shamrocks bloom, and the river Shannon flows true
In your rolling hills, and misty morning dew
I'll find me heart, and me heart's home, too 

[Verse 2]
Me grandmother's stories, of leprechauns bold
Me father's fiddle playing, tales of old
Me mother's cooking, wafting through the air
Soda bread and colcannon, beyond compare 

[Chorus]
Oh, Emerald Isle of home, I'm coming back to you
Where the shamrocks bloom, and the river Shannon flows true
In your rolling hills, and misty morning dew
I'll find me heart, and me heart's home, too 

[Bridge]
Through the ages, our ancestors roamed
From Cliffs of Moher to Dublin's streets, they made their home
Their legacy lives on, in every stone and every song
A heritage of love, that will forever be strong 

[Chorus]
Oh, Emerald Isle of home, I'm coming back to you
Where the shamrocks bloom, and the river Shannon flows true
In your rolling hills, and misty morning dew
I'll find me heart, and me heart's home, too 

[Outro]
So here's to Ireland, and the love that we share
May the road rise up, to meet us everywhere
And when we're far from home, and our hearts feel alone
May the Emerald Isle's sweet magic, bring us back home.



Emerald Isle of Home

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
