    Pogues – Lullaby Of London

    As I walked down by the riverside
    One evening in the spring
    Heard a long gone song
    From days gone by
    Blown in on the great North wind

    Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry
    Of sorrow and delight
    You can hear the cars
    And the shouts from bars
    And the laughter and the fights

    May the ghosts that howled
    Round the house at night
    Never keep you from your sleep
    May they all sleep tight
    Down in hell tonight
    Or wherever they may be

    As I walked on with a heavy heart
    Then a stone danced on the tide
    And the song went on
    Though the lights were gone
    And the North wind gently sighed

    And an evening breeze coming from the East
    That kissed the riverside
    So I pray now child that you sleep tonight
    When you hear this lullaby

    May the wind that blows from haunted graves
    Never bring you misery
    May the angels bright
    Watch you tonight
    And keep you while you sleep

    Songwriters: MACGOWAN, SHANE PATRICK LYSAGHT

    Glad you are tired from a fun day, @Holly Saunders instead of at the PitFace. I think that's what you call it??

    You'll have to tell us why, if you did...I missed it.

    Nitey nite!

    It seems kind of depressing to me, Terry.

    I watch "Big Bang Theory". :)

    Yes, I know. :)

    I watch reruns so they put me to sleep. For some reason they comfort me. I know them all so well by now that just hearing the dialogue is relaxing.....family.:)

    I'm lost. I don't watch "Big Bang Theory". I thought it was a silent story of swimming in paperwork and escaping constraints of time. But I wish he didn't leave his briefcase behind…that's bothering me still lol. So am I missing something? It was mesmerizing. I prefer happy endings though….like bumping into a love interest on the way who just happens to be a rich female executive secretary/CPA/lawyer/plumber/electrician to handle all his paperwork. :D

    My comment about Big Bang theory has nothing to do with Terry's video except that he said it lulls him to sleep and I said thats what Big Bang Theory does to me. :)

    I guess you can interpret it in many ways, I picked up on the briefcase being left behind, and saw it as a symbol of the work/treadmill situation, which he leaves behind and goes into the light, the destination Soeng is a direct translation of a Chinese character “想”, it means “think”, “miss” and “want to” and is used in the video as in to follow your dream, so it was a happy ending on this interpretation ;)

    The composer of the music Olafur Arnalds lives in Iceland and I have followed his music for some years, he was originally a drummer in a heavy metal band, but now composes this melancholy, dreamy music.

    Here is another mesmerising video of his




    This beautiful one created from the musical notes/frequencies
