Lyrics:
Johnny cooks a steak from Lidls on a Friday night
After spending all the week-long workin' hard layin' tiles
Tells me she made feel so used but I leave that all behind
See, I was makin' real good money then, I had ten men layin tiles
And he's standing in the doorway of our little kitchenette
Puffin on one of these new craze electric cigarettes
I imagine he must get lonely but if he does he keeps it all in jail
But when you're guarding a prison how do you choose what to bail?
I've got an older friend named Pete who sometimes helps me with my trees
Likes to talk about old girlfriends and the places that he's been
He talks about his hippy days and how he settled here by chance
But he's always been a hippy since the time he lived in France
And he plays all kinds of music and sometimes he might sing
Where will all that go to when we miss him now some spring?
I like to listen to him talking, he tells funny and wise tales
Says, "When you're holding a hammer everything looks like a nail"
Now me, I'm out here in the world, singin' my songs from town to town
And giving everything I have to get this thing of mine air bound
So maybe someday I can live just like that fisherman who stays
Close to the harbour and catches only takes enough just for today
But for now, I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the sea
I'm sailin' on a suitcase filled with dreams of what might be
And I look for pretty story for to sing as mine and fill my sail
And when you live by the weather every wind has a tail

This song is amazing. There are times in life when you hear a song that not only stands out to you but reaches out to you that's when you know it's a brilliant song and in my opinion this is one of them.
Well said. Me too
"When you live by the weather, every wind has a tale", beautiful lyric.
Why are the real musicians always under-rated, Declan o’rouke has the potential to be something incredible
One word wow!!! ❤
Ireland's treasure produced by the greatest of all time
Declan - That's a beautiful song and a mighty beautiful video. Jacinta and I can't wait to hear it live! Congratulations - Leonard and Jacinta. We loved your tears!!
Thanks and love to you guys! Say hit to NY for me x
A great icebreaker question: "If you could see anyone perform in concert this coming Friday night - any person, any group - who would it be? For me the answer is "Declan O'Rourke". And the wisdom and longing and humanity found in "The Harbour" - wrapped in top-tier guitar playing and perhaps the most expressive voice in modern music - explains why. Well done, Declan.
Doug you are a poet. Thank you. For me, this Friday? The answer would be Joni Mitchell. And I'm gonna throw in a dream venue too... at Velour, in Provo, Utah ;)
When your holding a hammer , everything looks like a nail👏👏👏 fantastic

Am in love !! Why doesnt this song have 100M views
Thanks for the positive vibes! I suppose it's all down to word of mouth, and sharing... lots of sharing! Thanks again. Suzanne
This guy sounds like a throwback to the 60's/70's singer/songwriters, people like jackson c frank or richard thompson - which is no bad thing. Its a shame he has surfaced in these bleak days where all music is free and the recording industry and gig infrastructure are both basically finished. Too late Declan im afraid
Nice one Declan. Sounds lovely.love the 12 string.
Magic Declan
Grma Gary :)

Unfortunately not yet David, but you never know, if this crack keep I we might have to give up the job to do online lessons haha ;) Can tell you it's in Drop D, and I was a half a step down from regular tuning I think. Have fun!

As ever understating the reality there a touch.... A little more than "interesting" 😊
Lovely
Beautiful way to spend a Friday evening, - far away from the harbour yet you brought it close x
