I adore that the protagonist of this song is such a cheerful soul that he puts up with having all his possessions stolen and being made to sail the Irish Sea in a literal pigsty, but as soon as he hears English people badmouthing Ireland he goes ballistic.

The lyrics for those who are waiting for the cover to upload: In the merry month of June from me home I started Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy Took a drop of the pure Keep me heart from sinking That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' An' asked if I was hired, wages I required 'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin' Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! From there I got away, me spirits never falling Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead wished meself was dead Or better far instead On the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Blood began to boil, temper I was losing Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing "Hurrah me soul!" says I, me shillelagh I let fly Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin One two three four five Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah! Hey!

my mother listened with me and asked: does he breathe at all? now I'm wondering how many breaths were cut from the song... but it was just as magical and wonderful as Irish - as ever! also can't wait for the album!

@moonday5521 2 жыл бұрын

He strikes me as a vocalist who has just mastered his breathing, I wasn't a vocalist in school but I did play brass. Combined breathing is essential for professional vocalists and minimizing the sound you make while doing so is also a separate matter entirely, if you watch closely you can see him taking breaths almost as soon as he gets to an S sound, that's a very easy way of hiding the breath behind a sharp sound. It just makes his technique even more impressive when you notice it!

@atheonsorion2006 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, if you check out some of his older videos, you can hear some breathing. Even so, it doesn't really change the quality of the music.

@winterfall82 2 жыл бұрын

Amazing breath control and a good microphone gate can cut breathes out. Maybe some audio equalizing can remove those frequencies, but of course tech can only go so far. Colm is just that good.

He could be inhaling through his nose while singing. Incredibly hard to do, but if you have enough practice its possible. I did it a couple of times while in my high school band. On accident mostly but when adrenaline kicks in its easier.

I love how the banjo is used for exactly two types of music and both are equally looked down upon by the country of origin, Irish shanties that originated from bogger Irish peasants and blue grass that originated from Irish immigrants that were equally bogger and eventually developed Southern accents and started getting very fermillar with their cousins and such

You know you got something great when you can sing in a voice deeper than that of 99.99% of the population. And that's not even mentioning his high notes and fantastic range. (7,948,118,521 total world population approximate as of May 2022, and 0.0001 percent of that is around 7,900ish people) Presuming of course that I didn't mess up the math, which is definitely possible. I welcome anyone to double check the math, and criticism if I got it wrong.
