Bravo, hier passt mal wieder alles wunderbar zusammen. Musik mit eigenem Charakter.

Sweet Radiation

This is the second song Mwayi and myself wrote, with a little help from the Trisektor Project, coming to SoundCloud soon!

Run Away

Oh John

Chris: Lyrics & melody arrangement/vocals/Brauchli lapslide/audio engineering
Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

This is a song about finding that girl who you know is your life partner.  Such a cool feeling if/when it happens.  

LOVE NEVER-ENDING
(c) JunkHeap Mar 19 2022 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

So what you think when your day is so plain.
Looking out the window has the blasé.
I'm walking home and I'm thinking of you.

Chin on hand looking outside.
Unenthusiatically working through the  day dreams.
Don't you want to get away from the everyday?

C'mon on baby, join me on the street and dance.

I want to meet you at a coffee shop,
and pretend I don't know you.
flirt with you girl, like we first met.

Seasons changing, and reasons waning.
Forget the meaning, the deeper reason.
We keep on aging, our love keeps changing. 
A flower into a bouquet. 

I grab your hand and we go flying high over the city,
over the steeples and chimneys. 
Someone sweeping; 
someone sippin' a coffee on a balcony.

You and I smile at each other, 
with the wind in our ears, 
and we're changing gears.
No ones going to stop us...  
Our love for each other.

Love Never-ending

Sometimes musical skill constraints impose simplicity.  Not sure about the results, but I did what I could do...

Fight the cold, fight the dark thoughts, fight depression. Stay on the lit path and avoid pure darkness.
