Mick travelled out to Sarah’s home in Connemara to record Sarah as she contributed an Irish spoken word part to the beginning of the song. Mick explains how the Song was yearning for feminine energy, ”Brigid is a towering figure in Irish history. I wanted to capture that spirit of the Gael in the song. Sarah’s unique and celebrated singing style draws from the ancient well of the Gaelic tradition and way of life, which added new layers of depth and meaning to the song.”
“Word rang through the valley, Everyone belongs, All on earth are welcome, to the banquet in the Sun.”
