Paul Brady's "The Island"

Written 20 years ago, the lyrics of Paul Brady's "The Island" ring even more true today. In this song with additional commentary, Brady expresses the devastation and emotions that engulfed the people of Ireland in the early eighties. However, the wars, bombing, and fighting that are happening around us today, remind us of the mindset Brady was addressing. "If you are not with us, you are against us. Turning your back on your own." In this powerful piece, Brady truly does pierce through the emotional flak from an ordinary man's perspective, to touch the heart of the human soul.

Since I first heard this as a boy to now, as a middle-aged man, there has only ever been one comment I could muster because of the emotion and pointlessness invoked by this haunting wonderful song. From the melodic beginning to the flat-minor chord ending, I have always wiped my eyes and said :- "Fuck me."

Doniedaff. I congratulate you on your youth and inexperience. I can only hope that by the time you're older you'll know and understand as little as Paul Brady does. And please don't be so paranoid.
