Greetings Folks

This week for the theme of fraternity Im bringing you a song that tells of a battle fought during the Irish rebellion of 1798.

The Irish Rebellion was a major uprising against British rule in Ireland. The main organising force was the Society of United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions.

The song tells of an army led by Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the founding members of The United Irishmen as they head off the fight against the English.

I hope you guys enjoy my song this week.

The Rising Of The Moon

"Oh come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so"
"Wont you hush a while and listen," for your cheeks are all aglow
"I bear orders from the captain, to get ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon"

"And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be"
"At the old spot by the river; quite well known to you and me"
"One more word for signal token; whistle out the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon"

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

Out from many a mud wall cabin; eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen
Weapons high and shining through their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder by the rising of the moon

'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
Get your pike upon your shoulder tis the rising of the moon

Lyrics are traditional modified by me

I love that you sing with inspiration, you raise awareness about these issues of revolution and friendship. By the way, you have a nice voice. It has been a pleasure listening to you.

Thanks so much for the kind words, it was a pleasure to sing this one for the week's theme.

I know this tune 👍 nice one! Good cover in your own way,
How is the new guitar? Still need strung up?

Yeah, the new guitar is still needing restrung .I tried tuning it without taking the precision tuning thing of and snapped one of the strings .It's bit more involved than a regular string change.I'll try and get through with it sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Ah okay, yah bring it over I’ll have a look at it 👍 feel free to video whilst I restring it, blog it and then we can share the money from the post?? ;)

Yeah, I thought about doing a threespeak video, restring it, and play it and see what you think.It's supposed to be one of the best electrics you can buy for under £1000. I won't have cash this weekend but ill try and post a lot of content this week so I get some extra cash next week.

The song choice is just simply wonderful. First, thank you for properly paying attention to the tittle of the week and thank you also for rendering a spectacular entry. I enjoyed every bit of it @celticheartbeat.
