Saw Sinéad O'Connor Electric Picnic 2011.
She sang a cappella as a tribute to Amy Winehouse
Massive crowd-like hundreds of rowdy arse young people
Could. Hear. A. Mouse. Crawl. In. That Crowd.
You're not getting talent like that again in our lifetime.
Christ. What a sad day

Watch "Sinead O'Connor - Troy (Official Music Video)" on YouTube
youtube
🦁🐍 🔥🐲🐉
Written by O'Connor, the lyric is based on the poem No Second Troy by William Butler Yeats.
Troy Lyrics:
I'll remember it
In Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything we could possibly do was right
Then we moved stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The Phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you?
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?
Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me that you love me
But just sometimes I wonder if I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you, I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried and you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No, I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed, "No, I can't let you go"
If the door wasn't closed
No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No, I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you if we hadn't been there in the first place
Oh, but I know you wanted me to be there, oh, oh, oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a liar

Dia daoibh, is mise Riain Mac Aoidh, I’m an independent musician from the North of Ireland.
Today is Bandcamp Friday and whilst I don’t have anything new to share today, did you know that my back catalogue contains a bunch of cool songs, and if you’re reading this post it’s about stuff you probably also care about?
Let’s take a look at a couple of my personal favourites.
Damocles is a song about the struggle of living under a society that wants you dead, as if the inevitability of the world turning on you is a constant pressure. I specifically wrote about my own experience with autism but we’re far from the only people who live with that pressure and doom.
Quite An Experience To Live In Fear was written about the “trans panic” in the UK and the US. While it is difficult to live with that spectre looming over you, the title is actually a reference to the people pushing transphobia. People like JK Rowling who have so much money and are granted ultimate security by capitalism are wasting their days in a quixotic campaign against normal people just trying to live their lives. They’re fascists, and fascists are ultimately cowards. They live in fear and drown in hate.
Dead Trees is a song about the older generations and their refusal to pay their lives forward to everyone coming after them. They stand towering over us in society in terms of wealth and influence and they might think they’ll be in that position forever, like towering pagodas, but wooden towers are just dead trees, and everyone dies.
The Kobold stands between you and your goal. He alone holds the key and in order to defeat him you must speak his name aloud for names have power, yet Kobold’s lie. I admit the dungeon music is very out of step with everything else on this list but it’s so fun to make.
I would have loved to have some new music available today but I recently relocated and am not set up to work. In fact I’ve been in this transition for a good couple of months now. If you’ve never supported my music before, now is a really good time to do so, as it helps this process go smoother for me and gets me back on track as soon as possible.
You can find these tracks and loads more like them here.
And if you can’t afford to buy anything right now, all of my music on my Bandcamp page has unlimited plays.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh agus Bandcamp Friday shona daoibh.

Saddened to hear of the death of Sinead O'Connor, the famous and controversial Irish singer/songwriter.
I was lucky to have seen her and photograph her in 2014 where she delivered a strong performance at Electric Picnic.

hozier thoughts
hi! hello! so. i know about the old bog man, the fallen angel, and the son of apollo (and if there are any others i missed!). but have we considered that hozier might actually be:
Aengus.
aengus is the (IRISH!!!) god of three things.
youth (less so the god of, more so he is young)
love (very important to both my claim and his mythology)
and POETRY?????? need i say a WORD more??????
TLDR hozier is the irish god of love and poetry, and i am a genius.

When I say I never listen to music this is exactly what I mean: I was today years old when I listened to “Hozier” (self-titled, 2014) for the first time. It is 2023.
