The love for a pet is literally as strong as for a human family member..... Great we have someone who's proud to admit to this love - not many want to admit it.....

May 1, 2011 - I don't want to rock the boat here and Lord knows i've no reason to rock it cause O' Rourke is in a league of his own but by his own admission it IS about a dog. He said as much in a show in the Spirit Store when i saw him a few months ago. Feck all that tho- i still like to think it's some lost love called Sarah. The song can work like that too, as long as you believe it. Great artist this guy:)

Jul 19, 2011 - Jesus no matter where we are in the world or how old we are only Irish people can come up with the fuckin most outlandish made up stuff about anything and there will always be somebody who will back it up !!! I've always liked this song and always taught it had some deep meaning but I heard it's about a dog aswell....

sammycat2 Says:

Jul 24, 2011 - -  Yes, seriously!

sammycat2 Says:

Jul 24, 2011 - "I called her name, like it was yesterdayAnd we ran home through the fields in the rain""Oh hold on with your heart faithful SarahFor you and I could run through any kind of weather"Usually you "call" your dog and run through the fields together... Plus, your dog is "faithfull"... The words Makes more sense than if it was a girlfriend....

themightybmonkeydust Says:

podge7 Says:

Jan 17, 2012 - I asked him. He said that that's only a "vicious rumour"

MovingAndGroving Says:

Feb 2, 2012 - Well i've heard it about his niece who passed away young "I felt her chestnut colored curls and i held her my own little girl" would make it seen possible and any time i've seen him play this he gets massively into it and that would explain why he didn't want to talk about it. Either way he's class, and i love going to see him

93saint1 Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - Supposedly its about his dog and his cousin told me that so probably almost certainly true!
