Title: Paul Brady's "The Island"
Added: Aug 9, 2006

Description:
Written 20 years ago, the lyrics of Paul Brady's "The Island" ring even more true today. In this song with additional commentary, Brady expresses the devastation and emotions that engulfed the people of Ireland in the early eighties. However, the wars, bombing, and fighting that are happening around us today, remind us of the mindset Brady was addressing. "If you are not with us, you are against us. Turning your back on your own." In this powerful piece, Brady truly does pierce through the emotional flak from an ordinary man's perspective, to touch the heart of the human soul.

Dec 17, 2011 - Easy for Brady to sing it. People who lived in those times have a different view. Brady fecked-off to London and pontificated about peace from a safe distance. Good song, but I don't believe him.

Mar 18, 2012 - Paul is holding up a mirror for us so that we can see the horrors we have been inflictin on each other in the name of freedom and the cause. Hell would freeze over before I would sacrifice my children!

Mar 21, 2012 - What does your gender, age and sexual orientation have to do with this song or what goes on in the world. Just because you're a 21 year old heterosexual male doesn't make you comment anymore legitimate. It's that chauvinistic attitude that causes a lot of the problems in this world in my opinion.

Apr 20, 2012 - Incredible song
sinnoach Says:
Apr 29, 2012 - Agreed, very much so and I am glad the Queen admitted in front while on a trip to Ireland (This should have been broadcasted all over the world imo) They messed up big time and are sorry for the crimes they committed. We shouldn't forget the horrible events that happened but violence isn't a proper response.
