acoustic song about the struggle between being both English and Irish LYRIC-here I am just sinking back into another night time the window's cracked the breeze is thin, another glass of red wine silence streaks across my shelter anxious I wait for it to rain down in the garden that's where I lay my blood is parted but I'll always pray for the place my heart's from we've got to have the rain in Tiperary can't let the colors fade or Jack will surely see 'cause the sun won't set on him this lifetime and the garden is not for him to claim CHORUS liquid skies soothe my eyes and my ears hear the lullabies in disguise CHORUS

A stirring traditional Irish air played on the low whistle that will have you longing for the shores of the Emerald Isle. World/Ethnic (Celtic/Irish) Also known as "ArEirinnNiHeosfainnCeHi" - try saying that five times fast.

A calm after the action of daybreak and panoramic views leading to a more rhythmic, Celtic sounding theme. This is the homeland.

Two Irish jigs in one by Doug Sparling. "These are tunes I wrote, but they sound very tradtional. Played slower than most jigs are played these days, the tunes we're meant to capture the feel and tradition of the west coast of Ireland, specifically, the Aran Islands. Note: Gort na gCapall translates to "The Field of the Horses" and is the name of a town on Inishmore (Aran Islands), the birthplace of Liam O'Flaherty, and is also the title of a painting by Maurice MacGonigal. "Launching the Currach" is a painting by Irish artist Paul Henry. I pictured the sea and the islands when I wrote these tunes."

European cafes, accordions, harps, strings, celesta and a bit of Old World ambience.

A marching anthem on flutes, accordion, guitar and drum kit.

Beautiful, cinematic, sweeping and soaring. You can see the villages down in the valley, the birds in the trees and the sun just making its way past the clouds. Momentous and a high point for any film. Gorgeous.

2 songs in one. A lilting, rhythmic jig on piano and bass rooted in the Irish/Celtic traditions. Cinematic with an inherent sense of drama. Timeless.

A slow dramatic build to a moment of recognition, an epiphany perhaps. Violin, piano, orchestral strings.

Composer: Paul Scott Mulvey
