Thread Name: Tune Req: Fields of Athenry
Subject: RE: Fields of Athenry
The words always sounded too clumsy to me - though the melody makes up for it a bit, so its quite singable. It just doesn't have that lyrical celtic phrasing that I love. It does have that "anthemic" thing going though - as per another current thread. Anyway - I'm with Steve on this one.
