Colm O'Doherty - Where I've Gone

Colm is my brother, he wrote this song about drug addiction. When I filmed this, it was the last time I saw him alive. Christy Moore said "The words blew me away". One of the last things Colm said to me was he would love Christy to get the words. His wish came through true :)

That means a lot

Okie dokie Ro,

Come on. I keep meaning to grab you outside school but its only when I keep coming back here to this boys talent that I remember I need to poke you for some stuff.

I can't imagine how raw it must still be, So I wont hassle you, but I will say, anytime you would like to give me even one or two pieces, I will push them with the mag.

Take care hon.

xx

Hey honey girl,.

I have come back time and time again to listen to your lovely bro. I have no clue how you must feel, I just wanted to send you a big hug,. Like I told you on the Snailbox night, why not have Colm published somewhere, we could send them to my mag and I would push his words, I think they are profound,.

In the meantime, Lots of love from us,.

take care,

Orla iO d,.
