As a professional musician. From cork. Living in America. It’s a personal thing for me when people ask me what is my favorite song. So I don’t tell them. But this is it. And I can’t listen to the recorded version. Has to be this one. This moment in time just grabs me and will always be in my heart ❤️ Thanks John boy ❤
If you see this John would ya tel me are you a fan of Ger Wolfe from mayfield because I see lovely similarities. I know you mentioned him and lark of mayfield in the lobby bar, I love singin that as a mayfield man myself. And later looked in and now have a verse of lark of mayfield. Great stuff. Cork through and through
Seen John in Vicar Street. Not only a fantastic songwriter and singer but a good comedian too. As he would say "Here's a song out of my own imagination, Fair play to me" a great night.
John sang this for my mother's funeral"nora" , with a lady, can't remember her name but this song will always stay with me and means so much..thank u john
1 of the most amazing song writers and talents Ireland has ever ever seen or produced an amazing ambassador for Ireland and for music when John performs you instantly know god exists talents which john possess can only come from God
One of the most underestimated Irish singer song writers if all time he is and will be a true legend of his era....Good man John and I had and hope to again have the pleasure of being in this beautiful singer / entertainer and great artist company soon up the rebels mo cara 🇮🇪
John, if you ever read this....you´re a Magnificent Artist with heart and pleasure...i got this Album and listend to it all the time.... my Hollydays in Dingle Ireland....thanks
did a recent songwriting workshop with John in Crowleys Music Center in the Oliver Plunkett, a magical hour with John, that gave me a great insight into his methods, techniques and how he weaves his magic,his wonderful humour also came across one of Cork and Ireland's finest singer/songwriters, and a man passionately proud of his Cork roots, the real deal Maithu John
All the ways you wander, all the ways you roam All across great oceans, all across the foam Through the faraway houses, through the sunsets on fire Searching for the island of your heart's desire Where the sun is always shining and the oranges grow on the trees You only have to wait two seconds there for every thing you please In a garden of daisies, in a circle of light Searching for the island of your heart's delight I'll wait for you, like a true friend I'll wait for you, till the very end Through the mountains of morning, through the valleys of night Searching for the island of your hearts delight I'll wait for you, like a true friend I'll wait for you, till the very end All the ways you wander, all the ways you roam All across great oceans, all across the foam Through the faraway houses, through the sunsets on fire Searching for the island of your heart's desire
So beautiful and filled with such love and sincerity. Love this song. I heard it for the first time shared by my niece Mary who later shared a song with him.

he is a joke and universally considered as one outside Ireland
Na Da and you represent the rest of the world do you?
That's a bit harsh ,he has own style and is proud of his accent and roots
John Spillane is in a relm of talent that very few frequent.
John, what a great gift you have, and how well you share it.
All the ways you wander, all the ways you roam
All across great oceans, all across the foam
Through the faraway houses, through the sunsets on fire
Searching for the island of your heart's desire
Where the sun is always shining and the oranges grow on the trees
You only have to wait two seconds there for every thing you please
In a garden of daisies, in a circle of light
Searching for the island of your heart's delight
I'll wait for you, like a true friend
I'll wait for you, till the very end
Through the mountains of morning, through the valleys of night
Searching for the island of your hearts delight
I'll wait for you, like a true friend
I'll wait for you, till the very end
All the ways you wander, all the ways you roam
All across great oceans, all across the foam
Through the faraway houses, through the sunsets on fire
Searching for the island of your heart's desire
Never heard of him til today, when found him on Myles O'Reilly's site Arbustus Yarns. Wonderful.
Gorgeous song so well done adore it thank you John this beautiful ever
One of our modern poets, his use of language is beautiful
Up there in the front rank of great singer/songwriters anywhere. Body of quality work immense
