Mikele Buck - Irish Road

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Mikele Buck was the first artist I ever recorded around 5 years ago. He introduced me to many great song writers and quickly became one of my good fishing and hunting confidants/ buddies. After his time oversees mikele prefers only to bow hunt and would rather not use a gun on any living creature, which is understandable. This is one of my favorite songs he has written that I have listened to for quite some time, we finally got to get together with Mikele and my buddy David from @TruthfulSessions do a proper recording of this one.

Irish Road
We spun round In resurrection
Laying Rest to wayward souls
We never saw our future
Had only memories to hold
Of a place much rich and greener
I left my West Virginia home
I gambled all I had away to walk down the
Irish road
This place is dry and barren
But they say Jesus walked these streets
Keep a bible right beside my head
Each night when I’m asleep
Well I used to not believe it
But Mama prayed to save my soul
Cause Lucifer’s alive and well
He lives down the Irish Road
Chorus
I prayed Saint Brigid come and save me
Before the Devil takes control
What once was a heart of gold
Is now as Black as Coal
I swear I see the faces
I laid beneath the cobble stones
Every night they come and Haunt me
From Down the Irish Road
They set fire to Armageddon
I rained the brass down in the sand
He cried out for Janie
As he reached and took my hand
Now the piper man’s a blowing
While the angels take him home
Saint Micheal lost another son
Down the Irish road
I prayed Saint Brigid come and save me before the Devil takes Control
What once was a heart of gold
Is now as black as coal
I swear I see the faces
I laid beneath the cobble stones
Every night they come and haunt me
From down the Irish road
Every night they come and haunt me
From down the Irish Road
wish you would pin this to the top !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salute..........
Lucifer's alive and well down the Irish Road has more truth than anyone realizes
Ever think of a song, about Amos Miller, the Amish Farmer, who sells raw milk. The media would like to bury the story from the public, ears. From the informal American public.
Operated my crane there, picking up the pieces. Memories of melted aluminum and bloodstains are still heavy. Spent a total of five years and eight months in the Middle east. It was my honor to serve you kids and be part of the effort. I spent so much time with 10Mtn. I think they were our security. Whoever? where ever? You kids made me proud. We are Family.
I wanna thank everyone for the love!!!! I just held the pen. Woke up at 4 am and it poured out of me. God bless my brothers and sisters.
I still wake up at odd hours of the night as well since coming home and it’s been 6 years.Thank you brother and God Bless America.
God's instrument brother
Your song sparked a conversation between me and my dad and our service and what happened to him and his unit in IRAQ. Without this song there’s a lot of things I wouldn’t know. Things I can tell my future grandchildren about their grandpa and his brothers and sisters
@mikelebuckband Thanks for your service and bravery on the road. I can sense the weight on your heart with this song and I hope you have found ways to deal with the grief/pain of your experiences. Without men and women like you I wouldn't be able to be as free as I am here in the US, so again thank you and everyone else who has served and sacrificed for our freedoms. Cheers bro.
Ngl I teared up a bit
Spent a year patrolling Route Irish. That damn road claimed the best of us. I saw the best and worst that humanity has to offer on that road. Looks like we were there at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your service and all the sacrifice you made 🙏
🙏🏽
You’re a real life superhero
@@T-MoGamingHardly, but thank you for your support.
Lord I wish this is what we could hear when we turn the radios on in our cars.
God Bless.
Bluetooth broken? Lol, jk, I totally agree with your sentiment. This is so much better than the crap playing 99.9999% on the radio.
We’re not heard on the country back roads. AOC has made that abundantly clear with her instagram
Lost too many friends there on Irish. Some of the best men I ever had the pleasure to know. Thank you for this, it was moving.
I drove down Route Irish on several occasions in 2006. Great song, and I very much appreciate this fellow Veteran for making it. 😢😞
Thank you for your service 🙏
I was probably with you? I was in the corps in 06. The main road I think of we called old concrete road if my memory is correct? It was by a base called alkim I know I spelled that wrong. It was next to a concrete factory. That road had tons of ieds. We had a lot of trouble going to a small base called kv. Kvs road was similar to normal highways in a way. The roads were misleading they also had a lot of ieds. One hit next to my truck outside of kv. I thought it was an rpg because in the middle of the desert, there was a car that turned its lights on and hauled ass. If you know the roads I'm talking about, reach out if you don't mind. As always, be safe and enjoy life.

Mike who were you with? I was in Iraq from the fall 2006- spring of 2007. I flew with 53’s with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 465.
The place where I think you’re talking about was Al Qaim (AQ). That was the FOB out there in the desert where they had the huge concrete plant. I used to fly into there and we always had problems.
Korean Village (KV) was another one out there in bad guy country.
Ar Rutbah was another hellhole we used to hit frequently.
If I remember correctly we called that main highway MSR Golf or Gold. I can’t remember that, but I remember seeing the convoys getting hit. I have some bad memories of flying over that road.
Semper Fi brother. I hope life is treating you well. 🇺🇸
Mr. Buck and I did many patrols together- we were the first IED hunters and I for one am honored to have done such a heinous job. Great song, Buck. OIF2 03-05
Respect 💯💯
TYFYS
Thank you!
Thank you for your service 🙏
I’m writing my memoirs of Route Irish right now I’ll post it when I’m done. First time visiting back to this moment in over 16 years. 39 back in Kentucky and have my own family, I’ve never spoken on it but this song makes me feel like it’s time. Thank you brother for this. If you were there, then you know.
God bless you brother. I’ve found peace as well and I’m glad to hear that you’re coming home. I was there in 04-05 and it was a hellhole
Several surgeries later and now 41 with a family with 2 beautiful amazing kids. Thanks for sharing, I to remember route Irish, every day.
Wow! What an amazing song! Thank you so much for your service to the USA 🇺🇸 As the wife of a USMC veteran, those words you sang hit close to home! My husband served…I stayed home with our children, that’s how I served. I sent my husband to a place I’d never heard of, and they brought him back to me a little different, but he came home! God bless you and thank you for sharing your gift of music 🎶 🇺🇸 🦅
Thank you both for your service!!! Respect!!! May The Almighty's protection,,,blessings,,,mercy,,, forgiveness & most importantly His love be upon you & your family. Semper Fi !!!
@@SOG-xb4qh thank you
@@Sassy-Southerner Very welcome,,,Warrior on!!!
When I got home from my first tour. There was a Medal waiting for me. A Civilian, Meritorious Service Award. ( Long story ) It had a handwritten thank you note in the envelope. Signed by Both George Bush and Laura.
When you proudly said you "stayed home with the children", I thought of that medal.
They come with a medal and various-sized ribbons. My wife took the smallest one and said. "This is mine. I earned it." I could not agree more. We, are, Family. When one serves all serve
Thank your husband, my Brother, for me.
@@shellbackllc that made my entire year!! Sometimes when a comment on the internet comes when you need it, well, you just need it and it’s appreciated beyond words! God bless you ♥️ 🇺🇸 🦅
2003 done that road many a time down to the airport. We were OGA so get no thanks, but we were there with you and shared that ground with the combat vets. We feel what you feel and appreciate the poetic words of this song. God bless you and all that served in combat.
Right on brother, many a friend that were in your group. I know well the program. We were all fortunate with a heavy price, but cant imagine spending that decade doing anything else.If you know any Infadel Originals then you know me...
Thank you sir
Same, Brother. OGA 2002 - 2010. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Salute !
Thank God for praying mommas ❤ love it !
My brother gave his life in 2004. Anbar Province. I don't know that he ever traveled this road, but he may well have. Godspeed to our veterans who he died to bring home.
Prayers for your families sacrifice and
God is surely smiling down on you, Mikele.
Brilliant song and singer,much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
Man thanks for writing this. Fucked me up a little, it's not PTSD its nostalgia I guess. Lost almost 15 months of my life there. My son was 3 days old when I deployed. I thank God everyday he let me come home. Can't say that for some of my brothers. Thanks again
I was the convoy commander on that mess for 16 months
Thanks for your service!!🇺🇲🇺🇲 Great song

RPG alley - I remember it well
First time hearing this i was all over the green zone with 3rd ACR in 2006 route Bug and route Irsih where two of the most dangerous places we protected.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY! GOD BLESS YOU !
OH RA!!!
From one Army combat vet to another: Thank you.
I’m sure most of y’all know this but there is still proud Americans who stand for the anthem and place their hands on their hearts not for the government but for you hero’s love you guys and ladies.
You’re fuckin right there are 🇺🇸
What a powerful and beautiful song! Thank you!
It just does not get any better then this!!!
Haven’t heard that name in ages. Many miles on route Irish. Semper!
A brother sent this to me. Between 05-07 we put hundreds of miles down Irish, mostly just the beginning of our missions only to go do some hood rat stuff deeper in the outskirts of the city. Powerful song my dude, got me choked up a bit. I’ve never heard of you till now, you’ve got a new fan. 🤙🏼
Awesome and thank you for your service
Infantry gives the most and receives the least.....great song...had my time too
Thank you Mikele for sharing this with all of us.
Yep. Been on that stretch. Beautiful song!
Cheers brother. Thank you to you and all who have made the ultimate sacrifice for myself and my family to be here, be free, and be safe. Let those men and women be honored and remember for an eternity
Love This And You're voice is Amazing reminds me of home sitting around fire listening to picking and singing
That song brings me back there just being there with the brothers was the best days of my life
Thank you so much. Most of our music just pokes fun at stuff experienced. Never "go there" for real music about Iraq and Afghanistan. Way to man up and getting real.
❤🎉 thank you and all service men and women for your service! God bless each of you! ❤🎉
Route Irish, hard to forget every run we did on that stretch of road.
Beautiful song.
So many trips up and down route Irish. Good and bad memories but I came home, many didn't. Songs like this bring back so many memories. May everyone give a thought to the fallen. See you all at the reorganisation brothers and sisters RIP. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴

Thank you so much
If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye you have no soul.
If the tribal elites didn't need to be "rich & greener" among other things then we wouldn't be writing songs like like this. But they do and you did.
Beautiful song, perfectly written and played. Thank you for your offering.
Keep the spirit friend
🤠🤘🏼❤️
Great job ol'boy😊
Thank you for this song brother, 21yrs Army here! I dont think there has been a better song to reflect on my time in Baghad. Spent most of 07-08 up and down them sh*t roads during the height of The Surge
