      But the poignancy of this song is even more appreciated when one considers the backdrop.
      A British Cabinet minister had been assassinated in London by the IRA.
      So the British sent their best man (an SAS Captain who happened to be Irish ) into Belfast to find the assassin and kill him.
      It was how their meeting unfolded that made the song so heart wrenching.

      I also knew that one of the twins had died but not the other. I fondly recall dropping into a pub in Dublin one night in 1994 when the World Cup was on in the USA. I started chatting about the football with another bloke propping up the bar, and after we had been chatting for a while he asked where I was from. I replied that it was from Perth, Australia and he told me that he had been there, and his band had played at the Perth Concert Hall. I asked him what was the name of his band, and he replied 'Clannad'. I proceeded to tell him how I had their album PastPresent. It turned out that the bloke was Noel Duigan. We had a good long chat over a few beers. RIP Noel - I shall always remember chatting with you that night in a Dublin pub.

      @@BCOZ-nb2lo I worked on a building site back in 1993 in Berlin with a group of Irish. There were three other Irish lads on a different job on the site who kept themselves very much to themselves. The tallest had a limp, something which occurs when the feet come into contact regularly with wet sand. The smallest fellow lost the tip of his finger when a shuttering board slid down over it. One day I dropped a bag of cement from my shoulder and as it was quitting time, I left it there. Three days later I got chatting to the middle sized of the other three lads. He told me that the German foreman was a a b....d and had accused him to leaving the bag of cement out. It was the middle of winter and cement does not take kindly to temperatures below zero. He told me that he could not speak German and the only word he could use to get across his displeasure was the word 'scheisse'. He went on to tell me he was part of the group Clannad but left as there was too much internal wrangling. Don't ask me which of the twins it was but I am sorry to hear that one of them has passed on. I am sorry too that I did not own up and take the blame.

Started to collect their Albums (very difficult at the time far away in the western Caribbean), but I built it slowly starting with Anam, Banba & PastPresent. Then came 'The Last of The Mohicans' & thx to the P2P Networks, I was able to get the rare traditional gems like An Diolam, Cran Ull, Dulaman, Fuaim, Legend, Rogha, etc....I'll NEVER get tired of Clannad.

    "Harry's Game" was broadcast once on Italy's RAI TV in the early 1980s in the late hour. No one understood the plot, although I loved this poignant melody. Ten years later, Ireland and Irish music became popular in Italy and the "Theme" was the soundtrack of an ice cream commercial.

      Time is relative. At 18, standing in the front yard of my parent's home, I imagined what it would be like to be an old man of 70. Now at 70 years old, it feels pretty damn good! I was blessed with a good life, not grand by any means, a loss of loved ones, a divorce and estrangement of my children, but in all that, I was true to my convictions. Life is what a person makes of it.

It crossed my mind that the female singer sounded a little like Enya which I love her music... I was shocked to know it is actually her sister!

      That happened to me as well since I was a kid in the end 80’s, early 90’s. Then, not too many years ago, I thought this song could probably belong to Anette Cantor which has a really close vocal and vibrato type as Moyan. Enya is fascinating as well since I heard her in 91 for the 1st time, lauching the caribbean blue song, it was like my imaginary world in my 8 years old. I do really think genuine childrens perceive pure thing much closely than adults, so its not strange to like clannad, enya and vangelis from the beginning.

    One of my greatest memories was being invited to meet the band for about an hour after seeing them in concert in Sheffield. They were extremely interested in my opinions of their music and the concert itself. This meeting saved my life. Driving back home down the motorway the bonnet of my car flew up and wrapped around my windscreen. I could not see a thing and slammed on my brakes and stopped dead in the middle of the motorway. If I had been a hour earlier the road would have been busy and I would not have rated my chances of getting out alive. Thank you Clannad.
