Clips of Scythian



By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl call:
"Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyn's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
(Hey baby let the free birds fly!)
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man call
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity."

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
(Hey baby let the free birds fly!)
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely harbor wall,
She watched the last star fall
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
(Hey baby let the free birds fly!)
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

(Hey birdie youre so fly, you fly through the Athenry...hey birdie!)

Driven to Disorder

My roomie and I are going to hang some cool quotes up on the walls. Here are some that I thought were pretty sweet...

“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.
The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.”


“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

“Look around you and be distressed, look within you and be depressed, look to Jesus and be at rest.”

“Among all human constructions the only ones that avoid the dissolving hands of time are castles in the air.”

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

“Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.”

Why am I still awake?

Before I begin, Id like to apologize for any weird remarks I might make. I just finished watching the movie "Snatch" and Mickey O'Neill is just great, and Im reaaaaaaally tired...so...yeah.
"Do ya box a little sir, bet you do. ya look lika boxer!" (or however that goes)

What song is in your head?
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen. It was playing on the radio earlier and I looove the song!

What is the newest album in your collection?
Well, I actually bought two at the same time by the same band. "Immigrant Road Show" and "Aidan's Orbit." Theyre both by a sweet band named Scythian. I love Celtic music, but these guys are "celtic music with an edge!"

What is the top album on your wish list?
Umm...well, Im not really good at keeping up with new releases but I have been waiting for an old release to cross my line of vision in Walmart sometime..that All American Rejects cd...I dont know what its called, I think its actually their first one. How sad am I?

What is the most recent live music event you have attended?
My school hosted a Scythian concert which is where I heard them for the first time. My friends and I were doing the jig the whole time. And, yes, I do mean the proper jig..just soft shoe though.

What is the top live music event on your wish list?
Not a big concert person unless its a really small concert. That Scythian concert was cool because you could be close to the stage but you could also move to the side and start a jig circle if you wanted (mighty fun...lemme tell ya.

What are the top three albums currently in rotation at your house [room]?
Immigrant Road Show
Aidan's Orbit
Into the Woods soundtrack
(Im really sad)

One man's hero is another man's traitor

Quotes from class...

In the middle of praying...

"St. Francis" - father f.
"Pray for us" - students
"Saint...um" (father f. forgetting the saint he was thinking of)
"Thomas Aquinas?" suggested a student
"Saint who?!!!!!" -father f. upset at the thought of someone even suggesting Aquinas
*after prayer father just looked at the student and shook his head

Oh boy....you religious people crack me up...with your order wars and such...weird.

Getting into my family history...

I've been listening to a really cool band called "Scythian" a lot lately. They came to Franciscan and put on an awesome concert. They do traditional Irish and Scottish songs as well as some originals and some covers. I really like this song even thought its sad.I couldn't find a clip of them playing but I did find this guy and he has a pretty awesome voice anyway. I thought I should put the lyrics here as he is a little hard to understand at points.

I Will Go
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

When the King's son came along
And called us all together
Sayin', Brave Highland men
Will you fight for my father?
I will go, I will go

Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

I've a buckle on my belt
A sword in my scabbard
A red coat on my back
And a shillin' in my pocket
I will go, I will go

Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

When they brought us all on board
The lasses were singin'
But the tears came to their eyes
When the bells started ringin'
I will go, I will go

Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

When we landed on the shore
And saw the foreign heather
We knew that some would fall
And would lie there forever
I will go, I will go


Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

When we came back to the glen
The winter was coming
Our goods lay in the snow
And our houses were burnin'
I will go... I will go

Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
