- Our 6th Music Video to date and the first for 2024. We present to you Onóir's arrangement of 'Only Our Rivers Run Free', written by the great Mickey MacConnell when he was only 18 years of age.
Lyrics:
When apples still grow in September when blossoms still bloom on each tree
When leaves are still green in November it’s then that our land will be free
I wander her hills and her valleys and still through my sorrow I see
A land that has never known freedom, only her rivers run free
I drink to the death of her manhood, those men who would rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage to bring back their rights were denied
Where are you now when we need you, what burns where the flame used to be?
Are you gone like the snows of last winter will only our rivers run free
How sweet is life but we’re crying how mellow the wine that were dry
How fragrant the rose but its dying how gentle the wind but it sighs
What good is youth when its ageing what joy is in eyes that can see?
There is sorrow in sunshine and flowers and only our rivers run free.
Only our rivers run free.

Just saw the interview of Onóir singers on the WEFS (Eastern Florida State College) Ed TV station's program, "Ireland with Michael" but did not get to hear a whole song. Love this and the other 3 published songs so I've liked, subscribed and will share. 🥰

Seen these lads in the INEC club Killarney, September 2024 and they were outstanding. Best night we've had in a very long time listening to some magical vocals and harmonies. Hope to see you all again at some future event! As mentioned when we met after the gig can you sing "Easy and Slow" by Jim McCann sometime as this I think would be a perfect fit for any or all of your vocalists? Best of luck guys and I hope ye go from strength to strength!
Beautifully sung guy's
