Description
Vocal melodies inspired by Irish fol over sections of shifting instrumentation. After a brief psychedelic noise pop/rock intro, the song builds from A Capella through folk-rock with mandolin tremolo, through heavily ornamented flute solo, through string ensemble infused soul ballad, to a final crescendo of heavy guitar sludge, pounding drums, male chorus and brass band.
Lyrics
