The group has found a stand up Quaker comic...and he is in a punk band....

We might be testing the boundaries of Woodbrooke after all....

Song of the Sea Lisa Hannigan Lyrics

"Song Of The Sea"  [Gaelic:] Idir ann is idir as Idir thuaidh is idir theas Idir thiar is idir thoir Idir am is idir áit Casann sí dhom Amhrán na farraige Suaimhneach nó ciúin Ag cuardú go damanta Mo ghrá Idir gaoth is idir tonn Idir tuilleadh is idir gann Casann sí dhom Amhrán na Farraige Suaimhneach nó ciúin Ag cuardú go damanta Idir cósta, idir cléibh Idir mé is idir mé féin Tá mé i dtiúin  [English:] Between the here, between the now Between the north, between the south Between the west, between the east Between the time, between the place From the shell A song of the sea Neither quiet nor calm Searching for love again Mo ghrá (My love)  Between the winds, between the waves Between the sands, between the shore From the shell A song of the sea Neither quiet nor calm Searching for love again Between the stones, between the storm Between belief, between the sea Tá mé i dtiúin (I am in tune)

A part of me was shocked into realising that of course I could be hurt and heart broken all over again. of course I could be horribly mangled by love all over again. It is sad, but I will be in love, and I will be heart broken time and time again, there is no escape from this cycle, though perhaps some people will hurt us more than others. ...
