#Oro Mo Bhaidin

[iwait4youalexg]

No I’m fine just thinking about how the song sleepyhead by passion pit samples a sped up version of an old Irish Gaelic lullaby because the artists grandma used to sing it to him when he was younger

Could we potentially see O'Connor and Mary singing ‘Oro Mo Bhaidin’ together? I miss the guy

HC: He hears Mary singing that to him when he's stuck in the pontoons literally on the verge of insanity...this man has been through it (Recovery AU ending under the cut!)

Oh how I love drawing angels...

This song kinda reminds me of all of my angels

re:your tags on your latest post - i'm taking you up on your offer, what are your favorite songs!

AH YES a task for me! here in somewhat of an order but not really:

joanna newsom - time, as a symptom: I love all of joanna newsom but this one is my favourite because it thematically speaks to me. I love thinking about time

the cranberries - dreams: this song has actually only recently really reached me, maybe because my studies are ending and my life is changing every day in every possible way...

judy collins - albatross: this is honestly just such a vibe

you were there from ICO: ICO is one of my favourite games and I loooove this song, I always love a good boy soprano

talking heads - this must be the place (naive melody): I have a bit of a conundrum with this because I wouldn't call this my favourite song overall from talking heads (my favourite band) but it is a nice and genuine song which speaks to me

peter gabriel ft. kate bush - don't give up: heartfelt. timeless. always topical. encouraging. you're not beaten yet.

fear a bhata: one of the most beautiful melodies ever and a lovely, lovely rendition

fleetwood mac - tusk: the logic here is that I love fleetwood mac and this is my fave song from them

enya - caribbean blue: I remember when I heard this as a kid for the first time I was mesmerised and I still am. if every man was trueee

oro mo bhaidin: irish music is the best, what can I say. I think I was an irish sailor in a past life

karjalan kumbuzil: this is a popular folk song from my own culture! I sing this all the time (in finnish though, I cannot speak karelian, but I want to include the karelian version for awareness reasons haha!)

Just got really sad thinking about Molly O’Shea while listening to Óró mo bhádín I wish she found the peace that she so deserved god how my heart aches

Blue Ridge Mountains by the Fleet Foxes is always giving me NA Bros vibes. Evergreen by Ritcy Mitch & the Coal Miners generally just has Canada energy to me as well.

Also, even if it’s traditional, Mary O’Hara’s cover of Oro Mo Bhaidin gives me a lot of feels about Ireland emigrating. It’s a very gentle song and kind of sounds like a lullaby, but it has a sorrowful undertone to it that’s very fitting. The lyrics are also strangely celebratory in spite of the tone of the song. It has a lot of emotions wrapped up in it.

OH MAN I love that one. Fleet Foxes is so fucking good. Their song Mykonos will rot my brain for the rest of my too. EVERGREEN omfg saving that one. That's a good one.

I have never heard her cover of Oro Mo Bhaidin and I'm.... literally I can imagine Brighid singing that, harp and all. That's a song that makes me wish I could put my head in my mother's lap and cry. That's, god that's good stuff.

I heard these two songs mashed together in my mind and I got on my Musescore and put them together.

[roughentumble]

[hairtusk]

losing my mind over how beautiful this song is
