ólafur arnalds:
we had the honor of putting together this amazing group of people to perform a tribute to our great friend and soul-brother eoin trench / talos on the tommy tiernan show on irish public television, rté. this song is an expression of community and creativity that has now taken on meanings we could never have imagined back when we wrote it.
eoin french (cork, ireland, october 02, 1987 – cork, ireland, august 11, 2024), known professionally as talos, was an irish indie electronic musician from cork
❤️
go n-éirí an bóthar leat
go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d’aghaidh
go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
go gcoinní dia i mbos A láimhe thú.
❤️
may the road rise to meet you
may the wind be at your back
may the sun shine warm upon your face
may the rain fall softly on your fields
and until we meet again
may you keep safe
in the gentle loving arms of god.
Bellissima
