Brigid's Song
🔥🍀BRIGID'S SONG🍀🔥
I wrote this song for the Goddess / Saint / Force called Brigid. It is also for anyone who needs some Brigid in their lives. Her realms of poetry, healing waters, and the firey forge are places I love to lurk and work.
She is a great power to abide and work for. I get my directions from her, or I'm out here trying stuff on my own and facing the consequences. She's incredibly funny, sassy and practical. She's beautiful and astounding. That's my personal experience anyhow.
Do any of you have a Brigid practice??? Please tell me about it, I need to know who my partners in crime are 😏

Glenswilly
Просмотров 91День назад
I wrote "Glenswilly" with the help of a kind ancestor ghost who had this to say to her would-be American beloved. "Glenswilly" is best used as an anti-manifest destiny anthem. Shout out to my Curran family, descended from a Glenswilly runaway! Shout out to the Carberrys and company, living in Glenswilly right now! Glenswilly rules! Played here with Jaden Gladstone on the fiddle and Eli Hetko on...

With Connor Maguire on the fiddle and Davee Bolt on the Guitar. We played this hot fiddle tune at Point Reyes Station across the street from the former home of Racoon Records, an outfit which released Michael Hurley's dankest records, "Armchair Boogie" and "Hi Fi Snock Up Town".

With Camille Hartley on Fiddle. Lucinda is the master of writing happy songs that sound sad and sad songs that sound happy. This one is both of those blends somehow.

i don't regret a thing upright

Laoghaire Ní Sidhe regrets nothing! She's just chilling! Can you imagine living down by the docks all your days and being a stone cold badass? Can you imagine drinking cozy teas in the winter while wandering the world through literature? Do you want to walk around with a hand forged knife on your hilt and stalk the fringes of society??? YOU MAY BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
I Don't Regret a Thing (Laoghaire Ní Sidhe)
Просмотров 3365 месяцев назад
On a very pretty June day when the birds they were singing and the sirens of Brooklyn were quiet for a moment, Melanie Beth Curran got to sing her special song, "I Don't Regret a Thing" in the Greenwood Cemetery. The tune tells the tale of a harbor damsel with absolutely no regrets to speak of. Laoghaire Ní Sidhe means "Calf Herder of the Fairies" in Irish! This name came to Melanie during medi...

I LOVED the chef's kiss at the end. It made it even better for me, knowing you were pleased with your performance. :)
Editing!
I like it I love hearing your voice
🍹
Californians shouldnt play the banjo
I was shocked to read you wrote this, I was sure it was an old folk classic. EXCELLENT job on performing it, really ... enjoyed this one.
Oh my gosh thanks!! I got a lot of help from the spirit realm ;)
Thank you, it's GREAT seeing old school RUclips content still exists.
Thanks very much!
That's a nice tune! Thank you.
Bit of a dark take, but wonderfully performed.
I can imagine a modern day Woody Guthrie singing this. Great work.
Thank you so much
👏
That is one decent sounding tennis racket.
Lovely.
This is something like the top-sexiest cooking video I've ever seen! I found you by looking up music on bandcamp searching for Bremerton, because that is where I live and I like to find new local music besides what I listen to at the Chuck on metal/hardcore nights. I like that you cooked salmon. I eat a lot of fish from being pescatarian for a number of years. I don't know where my salmon comes from most of the time, it could be farm raised in Canada -- I buy it from the frozen section of the store and also I got the good salmon burgers from Costco, so your guess is as good as mine. I'm a little faded now, so I'm not going all the way to the freezer. Thanks for what you have created - music and zines and stuff, including this likeIsaidbefore very sexy salmon-cooking video. If you do music or anything in Bremerton/Kitsap again, do notify me as I'd like to visit with you. The Tacoma Rainiers now have a mascot or emblem or something called "Slammie the Sammie." Just thoutht that was interesting
Thanks, that was entertaining & funny. Also I thought adding the exercising bicyclist in the background was BRILLIANT. It was so good, I'm heading to your channel ... to see what else you've done.
guthrie was a commie
Do Woody's "Jesus Christ", Please.
This was a must stop and comment --- Amen Sister! Speak Truth to Power! Thanks for the Vid
You wouldn't know a fascist if it bit you in the butt
She must have triggered you. Good...
Communism = 100 million deaths, Socialism = 3 million Jew deaths. Do the math woman.
Congrats on the zine fellow Fulb-writer!
.....simply Wow. As a (fairly recently reformed) Convict who once had a LOT of chips on his shoulder, I can attest to the Authenticity and Beauty of this Interpretation. Very underrated/under-viewed. Lovely as The Dawn.
Overall Good presentation ma'am, and I absolutely love the aesthetics of the background. (the art is to die for.) I can tell that your voice is GOOD. (has an almost classic vibe to it that would likely trigger a nostalgic effect in older listeners such as myself, because it's a call-back to much simple, happier times before the world went wonky .) now, this is purely a Personal Opinion based on my own taste, but The Acoustics (of the room that is, closed wall/echo-effect created by the isolated-ambience or whatnot) work against you slightly, but when it comes to that it's an arbitrary thing and some love such natural reverberations that closed environments cause. So, please don't take that as any Negative Critique by any means. It's not. I think your singing/presentation is overall lovely. Lovely Person, Lovely song. good job ma'am. and good mornin/God Bless.
Mighty fine 👏 🔥
Why cut so short???? That was great!!

My favorite tune ❤
Hello, I'm Safeway kids first generation. My friends and I where homeless teens on Bainbridge Island in 1991. The Bainbridge Island Review did an article on us and the title was "Who are the Safeway Kids?". That's how the name got started. We also took advantage of the side entrance for stealing alcohol. We didn't have bagel bags but we had green tape. When you bought something they would put green tape on it like a receipt. We'd find green tape in the garbage can and put it on whatever we needed.
Sick of you communists appropriating southern culture.
that's swell
What is this really about? I suspect it is not taxidermy.
This is great! Good stuff mam
I like it your, really good your gonna go big one day I bet. How old are you?

Wow.
Omg, this is a masterpiece. I love you. Like I want to marry you. (Ps. Ok open g tuning, but the tab... you have to have wrote it down. Please let me learn.)
You look a lot like Karen Carpenter.
As somebody just getting into playing banjo and learning about country music, this was really informative about the genre in general and the application it has in modern culture. Thank you for unpacking this in such an honest and eloquant way.
Hottttt ❤️🔥
