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.

Literate appraisal of the bleak troublescape of the 80's. Educated at the same school as Heaney and the articulation shines through. magnificent

I like him, but what happened to the lovely accent he once had?
