Owen & Mícheál Moley Ó Súilleabháin
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2008
size2shoes are undoubtedly one of the most irregular bands to be heard in todays industry: irregular meaning different and different meaning fresh. The duo, Micheál (Moley) and Eoin are two brothers, known in Ireland for a while through their talented (undoubtedly an understatement understatement) family, although size2shoes are on their way to a completely different musical destination to what would be imagined...

Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) by Don McLean (cover by Owen Ó Súilleabháin)
VINCENT (Starry, Starry Night)
Songwriter: Don McLean
Original Artist: Don McLean
Cover Artist: Owen Ó Súilleabháin
This song is one of the best examples of a songwriter's response to the work of a visual artist.
I remember the first time I heard this song. Maybe I was around six years old. My older cousin bought the single of the global hit song American Pie. Related in 1971 the song probably started to become popular in Ireland much later, perhaps when my old cousins was coming over age.
I found the cassette in our grandmothers house one day. I took down her old portable cassette player and turned the tape over to play the "B-Side" song, which was Vincent. It was a moment of sonic epiphany for me. It was the first time I became aware of the idea of 'songwriting'.
One of the things that stands out to me today is how McClean urges us not to see Van Gogh's work in its true light. He yearns for us to 'listen' to what he was trying tell us.
"Now I think I know,
What you tried to say to me...
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will"

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
มุมมอง 2543 ปีที่แล้ว
Written by William Butler Yeats around 1888 as a young man in his early 20s. Later in life Yeats said of the poem: I still had the ambition, formed in Sligo in my teens, of living in imitation of Thoreau in Waldon Pond, on INNISHFREE, a little island in Lough Gill, and when walking through Fleet Street in London, very homesick, I hear a little tinkle of water and saw a fountain in a shop-window...

A bit airy fairy
How lovely to hear you today,Owen. so beautiful.
~ An exquisite rendering of such a beautiful song!
The basic setting is from Bud and Travis in the fifties. They were an American folk duo. You have done it full justice. I still like my setting though; I used Carolan’s Colonel John Irwin (AKA Planxty Irwin).
Hi I loved this! What’s the instrument that the singer is also playing??
A Squeeze Box....
Shruti box
I came across this episode that aired last night. I love it! Great message ❤🔥 Thank you!
Simply fantastic.
how sweet to hear this, thanks.
THank you!!!!!! I am super excited to be returning in a few weeks once again as part of my life transition to Ireland!
You must let me know if you perform in Buffalo again. I lived there for years and have many friends who would love to see you! Xx
Fantastic!
Beautiful sharing. Much gratitude & Bright Blessings to you all.
Let us spread our cloak and allow the angels to build us new temples to nourish our soul.
Lovely traditions you all have! I'm in California, my roots are in Europe.
A blessed celebration for sure!!

Super lad’s! Come visit us in Colorado.
Great stuff here!
What a treat thanks
With you here in August '21 in Canada, and marvelling to think how fortunate to have found this nourishing, calming, cheering gathering of good folk, good music, good words and all just now. Little did ye know that the pandemic was coming, and that Eileen Mahoney's birthday concert in Oct '19 would come to have extra-meaningful resonance as time ticked along! Much comfort from you lot, and thanks indeed for every breath of it!
I just feel so better all over inside as I hear the simplicity and wonder in your songs.
When you started singing in harmony I couldn't hold my tears back, somehow it was so releasing that all the pressure just fell off. Thank you for that, it's truely healing!
So beautiful. Simply perfect. Thank you. ♥.
Such a beautiful song Owen - thank you so much for being with us and looking forward to the next time already. Such a beautiful voice.
wonderful, beauty in these days of heightened mystery of our collective effort to survive. this is why we are here to hear the wisdom of ubi caritas!!! thankyou.
Beautiful, insightful, wise and true. Let us start with the break. And let our soul catch up.
Dear, Dear Owen, Your musical setting is absolutely beautiful as is your soulful singing of it. After having read this poem many, many times over the years and walking the hills of Yeats and passing by boat,that tiny immortalized island of Innisfree, on Lough Gill in County Sligo and after naming my band after it, the essence of "Innisfree" has entered my "heart's core". Thank you so much for this added dimension of beauty.
A beautiful poem and a most powerful recitation.
Thank you for sharing this. W. B. Yeats recognizes the essence of Spirit in all as he is moved in the midst of busy London to sense the depths of Self and unity with all through Heart energy. Your musical composition is so beautiful. Again, thank you for putting your Heart energy out there. Mr. Yeats, I'm sure, is pleased.
well done boys , super stuff..... currently working on oct 1969 recording of your dad and I , so particularly nice to see ye use a similar format 52 years later ....Henner Clonmel
