On Raglan Road
Posted by BrokenSilence | Filed under The Dubliners
One of my favorite genres of music has always been Irish Folk music. I’m not exactly sure what I love about it. I think that it’s very nostalgic, old, reminds one of times past, has a tinge of sadness and introspection to it. It’s an area of music that I’d like to explore more. I watched ‘In Bruges’ the other day, a movie I’ve been wanting to see for over a year and a half and finally got to. I quite liked it and in one of the scenes towards the end they used the song ‘On Raglan Road’ by The Dubliners. It went really well with the scene. ‘On Raglan Road’ is an Irish song created from a poem by Irish poet, Patrick Kavanagh, entitled ‘Dark Haired Miriam Ran Away’. Many have covered it, most famously Luke Kelly of The Dubliners. Amazing song.
