A wee packet popped through the post this week ... ... .. .. CD shaped
it was
it was
the new album from Michael McDermott
(thanx Dave)
Been playing it since
on the tube
via the iPod
at home
via the desktop
playing now.
Last time he played Greenbelt
first time
was 2005
in the Performance Cafe
a tent packed.
I was sat with Ollie
who I knew and loved from a Hostel
he had been through hell
was
and always was
a beautiful human
we loved the gig
get to see him if you can
I will
I can.
A man with such feelings
ability
passion
Has had tough times
and it leaks
lyrically
musically
presence.
I remember
at the end of his set
he said this was his last song
he did it
left us clapping to the beat
singing the chorus
then
he then ran through the audience
disappeared
never returned
no encore
Ringin’ out from the mountains
Ringin’ out from the valleys
Ringin’ out for my homeland
And the blood in the alley
Ringin’ out for the drunk ones
Ringin’ out for the sober
Ringin’ out for the lover, who knows that its over
Ringin’ out for the hungry
Ringin’ out for the homeless
Ringin’ out for the righteous
Ringin’ out for the hopeless
Ringin’ out in the blackness
Ringin’ out for the soldier
Ringin’ out for the future, waitin’ over your shoulder
Ringin’ out for the sinner
Singin’ out for the accuser
Ringin’ out for the winner
Ringin’ out for the loser
Ringin’ out for the orphan
And the disbeliever
Ringin’ out for the honest
And the deceiver
Ringin’ out for me
Ringin’ out for you
Noise from Words
buy?
