Subject: RE: Lyr Req: West Coast of Clare From: GUEST,Rory Date: 21 Nov 20 - 02:24 AM West Coast of Clare Is a song of reflection and longing on the vivid memories of great times and atmosphere spent on the west coast of Clare that sadly no longer exists while visiting the area; lasting memories that are cherished and carried wherever, and beckon for a return of such experiences again. The song written by Andy Irvine about the 1967 Fleadh Cheoil in Kilrush and “returning to a place after a mighty event. Sitting in a now empty pub or walking through a once crowded street, vivid with memories". "It was actually written with a Danish girl called Birte in mind, but [...] it very quickly became a memory of great times in Clare. I started the song in County Clare and finished it in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, in August or September 1968." Andy Irvine. So the song, in its final form, is not about a past or lost love, although this is how it could have ended up being when Andy first started penning the song. It could be interpreted in this way: memories of the times spent with a past love in this location. And it would fit well with this song, if one so chooses. |

Subject: RE: West Coast of Clare Chords From: GUEST,Derek Date: 12 May 04 - 07:52 PM I am looking for the chords for the Andy Irvine song 'The West Coast of Clare' |
Subject: RE: Tap the Bow From: Philippa Date: 24 Mar 99 - 04:06 PM I AM getting muddled; the song I originally had in mind is the one Jon has pointed us to, not the one suggested by Baz. So now we have three songs of Clare, not bad going! |
Subject: RE: Tap the Bow From: Jon W. Date: 23 Mar 99 - 05:32 PM The lyrics to Planxty's "The West Coast Of Clare" appear on this thread: Click here |
Subject: Clare song From: Philippa Date: 23 Mar 99 - 12:35 PM oh, yes, Baz, that's "...in the SWEET County Clare". I searched for [coast of Clare] so I didn't find it. Well I should think that one or the other of these two songs in the database (Cliffs of Dooneen or My Heart's...) should answer the request |
Subject: RE: Tap the Bow From: Kernow John Date: 22 Mar 99 - 06:16 PM If it's the one Phillipa is refering to then search in the forum search for My heart's tonoght in Ireland. Regards Baz |
Subject: RE: Tap the Bow From: Philippa Date: 22 Mar 99 - 07:47 AM If you want the Cliffs of Dooneen, you'll find it in the DT (search box, upper right-hand corner of screen) But I think you're probably seeking a different song, composed by Andy Irvine - "my mind takes me back to the west coast of Clare..."? |
Subject: West Coast of Clare From: Tap the Bow Date: 21 Mar 99 - 10:23 PM I am seeking the lyrics to West Coast of Clare, as recorded by planxty. any help welcome. |
