This song was written in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising. It commemorates those who fought and died during Easter Week and urges men to follow faithfully in their footsteps. The air of this song is from William Rooney's ballad 'Men of the West'.

This Brings Back Memories

I am Salish with Green Eyes, living all my life on our territory near the ocean but also feeling homesick for shores I have never ventured near. And the poetry, my school teachers would fall over themselves and shout out to me when they saw me coming 'here comes the writer.' That was confusing being always informed of your inferiority whilst also receiving reverence for your abilities. It was basically all mocking because you don't stand a chance of actually being able to do what you are good at in a colony, life for all is very confusing. Thank you for posting these beautiful connections with my kin far away, I find pieces of us that are missing a bits and also hope because we are very much colonized and the constant terror that natives live under due to this is something so many nations and brilliant people share. The liberation of Ireland bring hope to the rest of us, I speak to people about this hope that sits on the horizon, it is dim and far away but it is there and it shines brightly from Ireland and it shall grow and when I pass I will do so with the knowledge that my grandchildren will have hope and freedom will also be ours.

Err... It was mostly Ulstermen that fought for the Confederates, the Irish mostly fought for the Yankees.

@@asanulsterman1025 I love my Irish brothers as a whole. Whether they be native Gaels, Anglo-Irish, Hiberno-Normans, Scotch-Irish/Ulster-Scots, etc., it makes no difference to me. I also love my English, Welsh, and Scottish brothers across the Atlantic deeply, as well as all fellow Anglosphere and Anglo-Celtic nations/peoples. Despite such, I am a firm believer in the cause of Irish unity. -Unreconstructed

@@mrnazbol1784 well my irish friend i have to tell you that you are wrong, Las islas Malvinas or Falklands were part of Argentina between 1816-1832 when the british came, latter a Revolt leaded by Antonio Rivero against the british in 1833 end in the slaughter of the argentineans in Malvinas and the start of Scottish settlers establishment of 33 argentinean habitants only one survives

Who had a small garrison there after Britain had already claimed the islands over 60 years before. There has never and never will be a significant Argentinian population on the islands they are British and all want to be britisg

@@mrnazbol1784 its ovbius that the acttual population want to be british if the argentinean population was slaughter in the past, its like the Uster Loyalist, they are the decendent of Scots and Inglish colonist and that is why they want to remain as british yes the british claimed the island before, but the french do the same thing and they passed the claim to Spain and the islands were given to the administration of the Virreynato del Rio de la Plata, then when the revolution agains spain the remaining colonist in the falklands decided to be part of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata also the claim is based taht the island is surronder by the argentinean sea As an Argentinean i have to defend the claims over the british claims on the Falklands but understand that are soo many factors and principles of universal laws that give motives to both sides to claim the islands

@asanulsterman1025 10 месяцев назад

The Falklands are British and will remain British as long as the population there wish it, the same is true of Ulster (aka Northern Ireland). The first recorded landing on the uninhabited Falklands was by the English Captain John Strong in 1690, an important date in Ulster too. Apart for a few brief years of French/Spanish occupation they have been British ever since, they were never Argentinian. Go check you facts mate.
