The West's Awake - Wriiten by the great Thomas Osborne Davis - Irish Nationalist and Writer ... My version, why? Just because I love it! Hope you enjoy!
@balladmad97 the song will always be fantastic but the bastards singing it the wolf tones are evil fukkers,,,I hope they all die slow lingering painful deaths
@deeryker ok your language is abusive. i don't go onto this forum to use abusive language. i just leave my opinion on songs i like every now and then. so what do you think of this song anyway? - you havent stated.
A great version of this anthem of rebellion (though my personal favourite is the cover by Ryan's Fancy, an Irish band based in Atlantic Canada in the early 1970s. The visuals are well chosen. My only critical comment would be that the speed of the Ken Burns Effect and the slide transitions is too fast for this gently paced song.
@deeryker You are indeed correct this is a great song however it certainly is not the Wolfe Tones singing this version.
