Emmett, you truly have been a treasure for my life, the few years that you have been in it. You've taught me so much with your soft spoken words and gracious melodies.
this song/cd was given to me by a kid (well he was sorta the boss lol) from wrk. was working late one fri nite cuz i dreaded thinking about then mentally abusive ex. omg, non stop tears lol. song was soo speaking to me - very healing. although i nvr told anyone about the abusive relationship, kid must've seen something in me... idk wat became of him cuz i lost touch long ago. hope he's w/a good loving woman & if i ever c that kid again, i'd like to thank him very much for the kind gesture.
Polichinelle 10th anniversary BENELUX edition is out now on Mass Market Recordings. includes 5 BONUS TRACKS!In your local record store or ask your dealer to order it!
cant wait for polichinelle in full in whelans!god has it been ten years?this world is a strange place,it should be considered one of the greatest albums of all time....
Yeah, me too. The guy's amazing. I had to get my copy of Polichinelle in Germany. Hard to find, it is. I've seen all his gigs in Dublin for as long as I can remember. He rarely plays now. The open air one in Dun Laoghaire a few years back was sensational. Got to chat to him after - really nice fella. Made my day.
he is a hidden gem.i got the album around 2000.loved it.loved it.then in 2006 i was in new zealand,miserable,down on my luck in every sense,long way from home(ireland).
i wandered into a cash converter,a type of pawn shop,wandered around looked in a basket and there was polichinelle,a diamond discarded in the rough again,would love to know what fool left it there.needless to say i rescued it. i will be in whelans also...enjoy.
THis is excellent stuff - I love it that as a 40 yr old bloke i can unearth all these treasures from way back. THis is a great song from a great album but if you can get your hands on their debut album 'Oceanic Feeling' it's absolutely superb - one of the best albums I've ever heard and yet practically impossible to find now and it's like it never existed. Strange..hmmm
Couldn't agree more with everyone who expressed wonderment about why The Prayer Boat never had a break out moment. Why some bands are plucked from obscurity, and other die on the vine is beyond me. Do your self a favor and get their one and only album, "Pollichinelle" - it's great (much better than the bad acoustics on these live versions by Emmet, singing alone). I-tunes has the album.
I saw the Prayer Boat play live completely by chance in Barcelona 1999 - people were being dragged off the streets to provide an audience! Fell totally in love with the music brought a CD back with me and could not for the life of me understand why I never seemed to hear any more about them. I agree, how can complete rubbish get noticed and this not?
Glorious song, exquisite singer. My heart breaks every time I hear this guy. WHY do the masses not appreciate such beauty? Anyway, the good news is that Emmett is supposedly releasing a new album in the not too distant future. If it's anything like his first solo album, Attic Faith, it will be worth buying.
The Prayer Boat were the most underrated band of all time and Polichinelle without doubt the album I would take to a desert island. Yes, Emmett's voice does something to my insides as well! Why are the record-buying public so braindead that they can't see the genius of this guy? Does no one want beauty anymore?
BTW, if anyone's interested, I have written articles on Wikipedia about both Emmett and The Prayer Boat.
Polichinelle was an album released well before it's time. It is vocally, musically and lyrically fantastic from start to finish. I would love to see the Prayer Boat have another go of it and re-release the album..they'd make it big this time!
God, there are so many girls who need to hear this song.

This album is so beautiful. He walks a fine line between angst and sorrow, but doesn't really cross over into whining. So good.
