Luyện nghe bài hát Famine Reynolds Extended Mix

(O'Connor, Clayton, Simenon, Reynolds)

[The extended version of "Famine", in 1995, from the cd-single "Famine"]

There is more in us than we about. The famine, which happened 150 years ago.
It three lifetimes at most. Things happen than were handed on from father
to son, from mother to daughter, to this day. They are within us now, and we
don deal with them. And it seems to me, this is what about a lot
of Irish music now, that it is the carrier for kind of feeling, and for this
kind of emotion, we have no other expression for it because politically we
deny it, we deny it. Our literature ....... doesn deal with this,
our sentiment doesn deal this. But music, it in the music, it seems to me.
The culture can actually carry things in al kinds of visible ways, in gesture,
in movement, in language, in and in music.

Okay, I to talk about Ireland
Specifically I to talk about the "famine"
About the fact there never really was one
was no "famine"
See Irish people were only to eat potatoes
All of the food, meat, fish, vegetables,
were shipped out of the country under guard
To while the Irish people starved
And then in the middle of all
They us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our
And is what I think is still hurting me

You see we're like a child been battered
Has to drive itself out of it's head because frightened
Still feels all the painful
But lose contact with the memory
And this leads to self-destruction
Alcoholism, addiction
All attempts at running
And in worst form
actual killing
And if there ever is gonna be
There has to be
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be and understanding

All the lonely
Where do they all from
All the lonely
do they all belong

An American army
Says you mustn't kill more than ten percent of a
to do so causes permanent "psychological damage"
It's not permanent but didn't know that
Anyway during the "famine"
We a lot more than 10% of our nation
Through on land or on ships of emigration
But what finally us is not starvation
No it's use in the controlling of our
go on about "Black 47"
On and on about "The famine"
But what they say is in truth
really never was one

All the people
Where do they all from
All the lonely
where do they all

So take a look can we
The highest of child abuse in the EEC
And we say a Christian country
But we've lost contact our history
See we used to worship God as a
We're from post traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the
at all our young people on drugs
We to worship God as a mother
Now at what we're doing to each other
We've even made of ourselves
The child-like trusting people in the Universe
And this is wrong with us
Our history books the parent figures to us
I see the
As a race like a
That got smashed in the face
And if ever is gonna be healing
has to be remembering
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
has to be knowledge and understanding

All the lonely
Where do they all come
All the people
do they all belong
All the people
Where do they all from
(That I can you in one word)
All the lonely
Where do all belong

And if there ever is be healing
has to be remembering
And grieving
So there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and

And if ever is gonna be healing
There has to be
And grieving
So that there then can be
There has to be knowledge and

We on the brink of a great achievement
In this Ireland there is no
To be found to our
By each other

Because of our tradition here knows who he is
and what God him to do

Forgiveness,

Yes
And

Equate, be


Yes
And

(repeat the above times)
