Jiggy - Friday's Child

After the pain came a fragile peace.
"Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win."
Bernadette Devlin McAliskey
Friday’s Child’ written by vocalist and fiddle player Aoife Kelly in response to “Hard Border” by Clare Dwyer Hogg exploring the impact of imposed borders on communities.

Loved Hypernova and this song stood out, great performance and a brilliant bit of songwriting. I love the way you've used the same technique as your dance videos to make the point as well. C'mon, go viral again.

Your red hand weights upon my heart
You keep taking shots in the dark
Most of the bullets buried in sands of time
Wounds heal but scars leave a line
Your grip feels tighter than before
Holds me on the land not on the shore
Familiar but you are no big brother to me
When you’re dragging me back in time and centuries
When it’s all such a distant memory
When you’re a couple of miles across the sea
Don’t break the spirit keep your empathy
Friday’s child is all that keeps us free
The years spent trying to cut all ties
We knew be no peace on either side
Finally you saw we need rest
and it seemed like you wanted what was best
I’m not sure you know what’s at stake
Cause I’m not a moving part in your chess game
How carelessly you cast out common sense
How easily you let yourself forget
and it’s all such a distant memory
When you’re a couple of miles across the sea
Don’t break the spirit keep your empathy
Friday’s child so good so full of peace
Friday’s child is all that keeps us free
Don’t let it be in vain all those years
of such sorrow of such pain
Friday’s child she keeps the peace
We must unearth her memory
Don’t let it be in vain all those years
of such sorrow of such pain
Friday’s child she keeps the peace
We must unearth her memory
