Story Behind The Song
I wanted to give Sean Lamh a Pop-Rock flavor ala U2 since it stays in the same Irish roots.
Song Description
Irish dancing, culture and traditions have always captured me, badly. Jason Kuhn gave a new life to the song thanks to his great vocals. Here is a more Pop-Rock version of the original celtic folk Sean Lamh also on my Broadjam songs and videos.

Lyrics
SEAN LÀMH
There once was a man
Who's born to spread
Tales of wisdom
In a ancient land
The story says
An Irish Kingdom
When I read the old fellow
Had always been dumb
I needed to know
'Bout the Legend
No one had ever heard
A single word
From his voice
Until he married his wife
All of a sudden
She changed his life
Ever ever since
That beautiful day
They had been carving in the stone
What the man wanted to say
-------------------------
CHORUS
They showed me memories of Mankind
Beautifully carved for ages
By hand
There was a few hundreds of pages
Written on the rock walls for the blind
And I heard singing
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
It ain't going
Anywhere
It'll stay forever"
-------------------------
I met the 2 of them
Down a tall cliff
So called "Sean Làmh"
In a very quiet
Secluded place
That only the breeze
And winds embrace
(Folk music)
...
There once was a man
...(music continues)
In a ancient land
...(music continues)
On his very own tapestry
He had been carving in the stone
What others couldn't see
-------------------------
FINAL CHORUS
He showed me Memories of mankind
Beautifully carved for ages
By hand
There was a few hundreds of pages
Written on the rock walls for the blind
And we were singing
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
It ain't go
Anywhere
It'll stay forever"
