Horslips - Sideways to the Sun (Slán Le Maigh)

[dazmalski]

Cuts off at 4:50 for me. But after all is said and done, a blindman's dreams are not much fun - apparently

[dazmalski]

One of the most chilled of all the Horslips - what a beautiful tune

[bigoxable]

Lovely images Luke.

They played this at the O2 last night, magic. The soundtrack of our youth, I don't think there was anyone there under 40!

[IshtarCelt]

@GnuTex I was there...mid thirties...lol

[rockandrollpaddy]

Ah 6th Form College 1976....halcyon days (-: Great tune and fab pics!

[Athleticsfan958]

This is the same melody as Slan le Maigh.

[lukessummer]

@Athleticsfan958

It is indeed. I should have actually added that in the description...I have now!

[Athleticsfan958]

@lukessummer Check out the great version by Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh from the Hihgland Sessions.

[dazmalski]

Phonemonkey - that's a very downbeat look on things. Enjoy your own life. Attach yourself to a country that you love. Use an apostrophe, at least.

@dazmalski

It is what it is...Ni lia duine na tuairim.

[DaMuttzNutz]

sublime!

[phonemonkey3]

When our backs were turned you got us in the end. Irelands story.

[Billyji1]

Gone sideways to the Sun, But soon to return, Blessed Be

[dazmalski]

Very chilled - thanks!

[OneHadASorrow]

Lovely vid, lovely tune.

[UISTMAN59]

Great song and photos Luke, well done. :-)

[catminima]

Just beautiful! These wonderful pictures, matching the music so well!

All stars and a nice Guiness (in supplement to Paul's tiffin)... next time I get to Ireland :)

(Brought this one forward to about 190 shares... lol)

[loybillyrock]

I agree with Paulmanorbier.

[Lynnsays73]

Even though I am ethnic German (29 out of 32 3great grands are German) for some reason Celtic music calls to my soul. Mostly the rocked up versions of traditional songs or groups like Horslips that do both traditional based and own compostition. Too bad Djashes doesn't get the contemplative message in the music. I think this slide show and music complement each other nicely.

Lovely video! Thank you. I am watching it on the winter solstice and it seems very fitting!

[bigbeninjax]

Clever harmonics at the beginning of this one. They were a really talented group. Clever pic for the 'sideways to the sun', too. Uh, was that a total eclipse at 4:50?

[lukessummer]

The "Total eclipse" from 4:50 to 6:34 was caused by an 'Irishman' and 'Windows Movie Maker' butting heads!... Windows Movie Maker won hands down!...

[bigbeninjax]

Yeah, WMM deserves a few yellow cards....you just gotta outscore it with perseverance!

[jratt2]

Did someone say Tiffin?

Love the photo at 1:43. Cleverly done!

[Paulmanorbier]

Excellent combination of images and music - Deserves 5 stars - and a tiffin

[lukessummer]

Damn your 5 stars, give me the Tiffin!!!
