lyrics
Cogar liom, Ó ná éirigh a stóir
Tá sé dainsearach lasmuigh.
Cogar liom, ná tabhair aird ar na ndeora,
Ó tá sé contúirteach san domhan mór mílteannach sin
Tá na coillte trí thine anocht
Tá deatach dubh dorcha ag fás
Níl mé clíste, no saibhir no bocht
Ach níl aon rud fagtha anseo
A chara, a chara, cá bhfuil tú imithe?
Tá farraige folamha eadrann anois
Súile dubha, tá gach gné duit athrithe
Ó bháigh tú mo chara le fearg agus éad
'gus tá tú grammaithe le chéile le tairní agus téid
Ní tógfaidh mé an mílleán, níl ormsa an locht
Níor dhíol mé mo anam i gcomhair beagánín cumacht,
Ach fós - fós - tá faitíos orm go lasfinn d'aon bhflam
Ó tógfainn ar ais é, ach níl mé in ndann, tá mé dóite
Le tairní agus téid...
Translation:
("Codhladh Sámh" means Sleep soundly)
Whisper with me, don't get up my love
It's dangerous outside
Whisper with me, don't pay heed to the tears
It's dangerous in that huge world
Mmmm...
The woods are on fire tonight
black, dark smoke is growing
I'm not clever, or rich or poor
but there is nothing left for me here
Chorus:
My friend, my friend, where have you gone?
There are empty oceans between us now
Black eyes, every aspect of you has changed
You drowned my friend with anger and jealousy
you're held together by nails and string
I won't take the blame, the fault isn't mine
I didn't sell my soul for a bit of power
But still, still, I'm afraid I'll burst into flame
I'd take it back, but I can't, I'm burned
Chorus:
With nails and string
Ah.....
Tá sé dainsearach lasmuigh.
Cogar liom, ná tabhair aird ar na ndeora,
Ó tá sé contúirteach san domhan mór mílteannach sin
Tá na coillte trí thine anocht
Tá deatach dubh dorcha ag fás
Níl mé clíste, no saibhir no bocht
Ach níl aon rud fagtha anseo
A chara, a chara, cá bhfuil tú imithe?
Tá farraige folamha eadrann anois
Súile dubha, tá gach gné duit athrithe
Ó bháigh tú mo chara le fearg agus éad
'gus tá tú grammaithe le chéile le tairní agus téid
Ní tógfaidh mé an mílleán, níl ormsa an locht
Níor dhíol mé mo anam i gcomhair beagánín cumacht,

This is the Second Album of a band called Adebisi Shank
by Adebisi ShankFresh, exciting, smart - everything good music should be in an explosively energetic album. The only thing better than this album is seeing Adebisi live!

Zoe has such a pure voice. I have only heard one song, which I mixed, with the Honeybees. I look forward to hearing this CD.
go to album -
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
go to album -
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements.
go to album -
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
go to album -
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar.
