"Bundoran Remembered"

Irish poetry was originally composed as songs and chants–music is a form of literature. As a poet, with a bardic heart–I could feel the soulful melody and harmony of an Irish ballad within Murray's lyrical poem that appears in Connolly's guide-book. The poem's rhyme chanted "Sing me!"

 

All it needed was a heartfelt voice that could meaningfully express the emotional wavelength of the poem's story–here is my Uncle Paudge (Pauric) Keenaghan singing the poem, what he calls "Bundoran Remembered"–a song composed for the first time (17/7/2024).

​

May the music of this poetic song–inspire more music, more poetry and more songs.
