I was listening to Pandora the other day (long time ago really) and remember hearing this beautiful song by Clannad start to play. I immediately stopped what I was doing to go see who created this amazing song. I had never heard of Clannad before but now they will forever be a name I remember. It was a song called "Theme from Harry's Game". All I could think about was how much I wanted to sing and cover the song. 

Some of you may remember me sharing this song before. That was before I was publishing music and so I tweaked it a little bit and remastered it. It's not perfect but I absolutely loved the process of creating this cover. 

I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Imtheochaidh soir is siar

A dtainig ariamh

An ghealach is an ghrian

*Portaireacht

Intheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian

An Daoine og is a chail 'na dhiadh

*Portaireacht

Intheochaidh a dtainig ariamh 

An duine og is a chail ne dhiadh

English Translation:

I will go east and go west

From whence come the moon and the sun

*Portaireacht

The moon and the sun will go

And the young man with his reputation behind him

*Portaireacht

I will go wherever he came from

The young man with his reputation behind him

*Portaireacht

*Portaireacht (Ancient Irish mouth-music):

Fol lol the doh, fol the day

Fol the doh, fol the day

I made a dumb mistake though when recording, I wasn't watching the original song. I can't remember who had covered the song. I can't find it again on YouTube but after I recorded the entire song based off of that cover and then went and listened to the original song, I couldn't help but notice differences in how the man who had covered the song sang the words vs Clannad. It made me nervous that maybe he wasn't singing the words correctly and I copied how he sang them... People really loved his performance though so I'm just hoping that if any one who speaks Irish listens to this song, that I'm not singing some cuss word or singing something rude! I definitely have learned my lesson; Don't spend hours recording a song based off a cover if the lyrics are in a foreign language, lol.

What do you think about the song? Have any of you ever watched the show Harry's Game? I have been wanting to check it out to gain a little more history about this song.
