    A bundle of five albums (including The Art Of Saving Lives) by 5 quality Irish musicians

    The albums are

    West To The Evening Sun - Ailie Blunnie ailieblunnie.bandcamp.com/album/west-to-the-evening-sun
    Love Joints - Danny G & The Major 7ths shop.hipdroprecords.com/album/love-joints

    The Roaring Girl - Sive sivemusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-roaring-girl

    The other four albums are albums Josh has greatly enjoyed over the last five years and they are by highly professional and original artists with things to say and unique ways to say them - they're also top people. They're all on Bandcamp and Spotify so you can listen to the music there but why not take advantage of this great value deal to bag five top quality discs at an excellent value price. All five performers have participated in the Paul Simon Project, a video project Josh has been curating over the last few years documenting performances of Paul Simon songs by great Irish musicians - a few of them aren't uploaded yet but will be during 2020.

    The price includes post and packaging and each CD will be posted individually because of the current restrictions in Dublin, Ireland regarding getting around - this will also allow you to discover the delights within in its own time.

    Please support quality original music.

about

Going to foreign countries to find your home

lyrics

Kristiansund and Trondheim pass
endless daylight frosts the glass
and Froya glimmers, meets the sky
a moonless June for a midnight eye
and tunnel vision takes you where
it's always half-way, never there
mainland shopping, island bliss
they said she'd never leave all this

And I spent midsummer with Anja
yes I spent my midsummer with Anja

And what if someone else's life
counts you in but turns the knife
flying visits, floating lights
missing words and single nights
and what if some lives never find
the resting place, the settled mind
still one more summer, one more song
lures you back, you can't be wrong

And I spent midsummer with Anja
yes I spent my midsummer with Anja

And talk to me of why I'm drawn
and all the powers I've called upon
and how my days got out of hand
and you're a stranger in a changed land

Churches gather, steeples rise
fjords cut through these northern skies
pristine houses, family ties
open prisons, hidden lies
and truth's away with your forest friend
where red deer velvet meets its end
some territories you'll never know
you just don't go there, you never go

And still I spent midsummer with Anja
yes I spent midsummer with Anja
I spent my midsummer days with Anja

days and days and days and days...
