CLANNAD - Theme from Harry's Game

No 'official' video was ever made for Harry's Game but while shooting the Past & Present/ Clannad in Donegal documentary director Billy Magra put these suitably haunting visuals to one of ireland's most haunting tunes.

Absolutely one of the haunting, beautiful songs ever made.

This one is so EVERTHING! I remember when I would sit & listen to this 20 times in a row..

I will go east and go west

From whence came

The moon and the sun

The moon and the sun will go

And the young man

With his reputation behind him

I will go wherever he came from -

The young man with his reputation behind him

A great TV theme tune, Harrys game was a great piece of TV.

@maddzzz I'm making a playlist of his playlist now for when I read the book! I've got it for Christmas from my dad but have to hold on to it myself for a while and it's sooo tempting...

@musicartism The King He rules not by might Nor conquest’s plight He rules in hiding In things not thought How we treat them Are judgments wrought; His rule is golden “How you treat the least Is how you treat me.” 11/19/11

@magpie4321 Go raibh míle maith agat/thanks a million. "Lose yourself", well, I think I've done that already (only kidding!), I know what you mean, THANK YOU!

Thank you for all your beautiful poetic words. Wishing you a lovely weekend. All the best to you!

@musicartism Thank you for your nice Irish words.  It IS a very nice song, but very sad. No matter who you are or no matter what you are, God wants you in heaven. I know it! Here's another one: Dawn of Beatitude— Begin with small acts Make them habitual Start with a smile It has its return Open a door Receive a smile Listen to troubles You’ll have none Absorb your soul In other’s souls Lose yourself “Enter into the joy” 11/12/11

Thank you for your last poetic post, you're thoughtful and kind. Regrettably, my soul is not a pearl but, thankfully, not "bought". But, I am in need indeed of mercy. And, yes, I have been in both conflicting & contradicting places - in 'Neither' is a good place to dwell, as neither leaves you dwelling in a peaceful valley.

This Clannad song is so sad & comforting - it is such a beautiful song!

I wish you peace & joy!  THANK YOU for all your beautiful & comforting words. Slán anois! ;)
