Hmm. I wasn't going to listen to any pre-releases from the upcoming album. I thought that would be like sneeking a peek at my christmas presents before the day. Inevitable I couldn't reist. in my defence I am sitting in my windowless office watching strange, grey suited, corporate types pander to the whims of the disgustingly wealthy, and then I pressed play. Tee hee.. my internal world has been transported by mystical life affirming poetry. I feel oh sooo much better and have got a big grin across my face. Thank you Waterpeople. X

We've been playing Luca Bloom/Christy Moore's gentle rendering of 'Dancing Queen' live and just from the memory of the Festival Hall gig, been singing the 'sweet dancer' refrain in the outro - so wonderful to hear the song again in full - lovely balance of joy and melancholy

SUCH A VISUAL SONG. YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC. ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS. FROM MY HEART......THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE EMOTIONAL TIMES IN MY LIFE THAT YOU'VE GOTTEN ME THROUGH. 8>)

Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation - When The Levee Breaks

Track 5 of the new Waterboys album AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR YEATS, to be released 19 September 2011.

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
escaped from her bitter youth
escaped from out of her crowd 
and her black cloud

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

If men come from the house
to lead her away please do not say she is crazy
lead them gently astray
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

She sings as the moon sings     
I am I, I am I
the greater grows my light
the further shall I fly 
I hear the wind a-blow
I hear the grass a-grow
And all that I know
I know, I know    

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer

The girl goes dancing there
on the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
let her finish the dance
let her finish the dance
finish the dance

Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
Ah dancer, ah sweet dancer
