Charlie Landsborough - Isle of Innisfree

  • I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer
    And there's no doubt there's truth in what they say
    For sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
    When all the things he loves are far away.
    And precious things are dreams unto an exile
    They take him over the land, across the sea
    Especially when it happens he's an exile
    From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree.
    I watch the the moonlight peep across the rooftops
    Of this great city wondrous though it be.
    I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
    I'm once again back home in Innisfree.
    I wander o'er green hills and sleepy valleys
    And find a peace no other land could know
    I hear the birds make music fit for angels
    And watch the waters laughing as they go.
    But dreams don't last
    Though dreams are not forgotten
    And soon I'm back to stern reality.
    And though they paved the footpaths here with gold dust
    I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree.
    I still would choose my Isle of Inishfree.

    This is what I do at the end of the night. I listen to the music that I love and helps me through the night when there are worries that I could fix I allowed. Listen to the words they are so beautiful. Please enjoy.

    My dad was taken to see the Quite man In 1952 in the cinema by my gran and grandad as a 9year boy from Motherwell he said dad I’d love to see Innisfree, my grandad who was born in county Sligo in Ireland said would you son. 2 weeks later my dad was in that part of Ireland So when my dad would play this song he would get emotional I know why now . 🍀❤️🙏🏼

    Charlie is one of those great singers who bring so much emotion to one of Ireland's greatest songs. The Irish remind me of my community the Italian's. Both nations sing with so much love for their beloved homelands. Us Italian's love the Irish they're very much like us. That's way so many Italian's have married into Irish families. We have a lot in common! No one sings this song like Charlie and some great singers have sung it over the years. I personally prefer Charlie's emotional version it makes you cry, thinking of all those people who left there beloved homeland never to return! Great song sung by a great artist!!

      @@kellymhenry376 Except it's not a pub song really. It's a song about immigration, of an immigrants longing for home. Written on a bus journey in Ireland by Dick Farrelly in the late 1940s.
      It was used by John Ford in his famous film The Quiet Man in 1952.
      Funny thing though at the time he wrote the song, Dick was a serving member of the Gardaí ( the irish police force ) and had never left Ireland.
