Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land - all things born of the soul that can only be felt.” Anthony De Sa, Barnacle Love .

This is an Aisling - a Dream Vision song. Andy sings and plays it to perfection. It has a double meaning. It is 'really' a metaphor for the tragedy of Irish men joining the armies of Queen Elizabeth I and fighting her battles. It is England who is 'the lassie that had the land' and Ireland who is the 'gold' that he has forsaken, to his lifelong grief. The last verse lifts the cover.

As I roved out on a bright May morning To view the meadows and flowers gay Whom should I spy but my own true lover As she sat under yon willow tree I took off my hat and I did salute her I did salute her most courageously When she turned around well the tears fell from her Sayin’ “False young man, you have deluded me A diamond ring I owned I gave you A diamond ring to wear on your right hand But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them And married the lassie that had the land” “If I’d married the lassie that had the land, my love It’s that I’ll rue till the day I die When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it I was blindfolded I’ll ne’er deny” Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber The thoughts of my true love run in my mind When I turned around to embrace my darling Instead of gold sure it’s brass I find And I wish the Queen would call home her army From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain And every man to his wedded woman In hopes that you and I will meet again.

Based on this and another tune I went to see Andy last month - aged 80 and still performing! Still has the voice and hoped for more traditional but naturally playing a lot of his own material. Still his voice brought me to hold my breath. Pure gold. It was the smallest venue, just feet away could hear every note. Recommend Ye Vagabonds if you're looking for new young traditionalists. Ye won't be disappointed. Weirdly they played the same week. Amazing Harmonium player too.

I had the absolute honour to see Planxty when I was at UNI in 1975. By that time, Donal Lunny had tired of touring and Christy Moore had gone off to do his own thing, but Johnny Moynihan and Paul Brady had joined the line-up. So, it was a different Planxty, but magical all the same. Andy Irvine and Paul Brady bounced off each other, Liam Óg O'Flynn was sublime - and Johnny Moynihan was no slouch either! They reawoke in me a lifelong love of Irish music........ and the London-born Andy Irvine was a big part of that. Long life to him.

@robst247 8 жыл бұрын

beybarys The way I understand the line is this: he lost his true love and ended up marrying a woman for whom he feels much less. When he awakes and turns to embrace, in his imagination, his true love ("my darling"), to his great disappointment and sadness he realises it's the poor substitute ("brass" "instead of gold") who's lying next to him. It's the tragedy of love lost that can never be regained - the dull compromise with which so many of us have to come to terms - that makes this song so deeply moving.

@robst247 8 жыл бұрын

Well, I'm glad that YOU are not compelled to stick with someone you don't truly love, but sadly that IS the reality for very many people. Even in so-called 'developed' countries, people stay for years in relationships with incompatible partners. I work as a relationship therapist, and I see it often. In less liberal, more traditional cultures, many people -- especially women -- are literally forced to stay with terrible partners.
