Josh Okeefe - "The Rising of the Moon" (Live performance of circa 1860's Irish ballad)
Can we dare to dream of freedom? Whenever I hear this song, I find myself getting lost in the timeless echoes of history. 'The Rising of the Moon' transcends relic status; it’s a reminder that the flame of hope burns eternal. Born from the struggles of those who came before us, it still resonates through the ages to the present day. This ballad not only reveals the shadows cast by conflict but also stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit and the hunger for a better tomorrow.
