about

This is part one of a trilogy we are writing to celebrate Brigid. It is the first year of a National Holiday to mark her feast day. We were commissioned to write the song by our local Arts Group and we are thrilled with it!
The track was produced, mixed and mastered by Brian Casey at Wavefield Studios. It features Aisling Urwin on harp.

lyrics

Brigid Part 1: Becoming.
Verse 1:
Those brave lights burning still too dim
To guide us from the deep.
They've settled there on winter graves,
To mind us while we sleep.
So battered by our darkest night,
We huddle small and still,
We waited there until,
We waited there until.

Chorus:
Brigid hold our dreams in tender longing!
Beginning to blossom and bloom.
Your gentle kiss renews us we are garlands!
Becoming, Becoming.

Verse 2:
Your radiant wisdom forged in iron
To sink into the silt.
Three sisters bound in fiercest love
A gentle temple built.
You beat your breast when he was lost!
They gathered you within,
They nurtured you until,
They nurtured you until.

Chorus:
Brigid hold our dreams in tender longing!
Beginning to blossom and bloom.
Your gentle kiss renews us we are garlands!
Becoming, becoming.
