Original song - Irish Fields
This is the opening track to an album titled "Ireland". It was inspired by authentic Irish tea and every song was composed, played and recorded while drinking 2 cups of Irish tea. This song "Irish Fields" is a song of triumph. The guitar solo at the end was inspired by Jimmy Page. What do you think?

Lyrics:
We woke up in an Irish fields
Yea
I tell you we was one
We're always feelin' tall
We don't hear no call
You can see us on the streets
Do you know we have dirty sheets?
I say this for all
We're gonna watch it fall
I was singin' in a pub
Wait a minute
Wasn't that a club?
It don't matter to me
Everybody wants me to leave
Ireland!
Oh no
Here we go again
Another bloody day of rain
Why does mummy want me be in pain?
Teach you a lesson
Never do it again
And here we are at the coast
Our brains are like toast
We go in
And out
But we still can jump and shout!

Some good guitar work here. I especially like the echoes of Irish music in the solos. Was that a deliberate reference to "King of the Fairies" I heard?

Thank you for listening. There is no conscious reference to the "King of Fairies". I will say though all the songs on the album are all an impression of Ireland and the Irish based on what I've read, heard, seen on television, been told and experienced with Irish people and decedents of the Irish. The album is created from the view of a non-Irish person which I believe makes it interesting.

Yes. Listen to the song "Mr. Murphy" that I posted recently. No distortion on this song.
Also, I do not use distortion as a "crutch". I used it because it sounds cool!
The famous, great guitarist Jimi Hendrix brought distortion to pop music and created the widely successful and highly pleasurable genre of "rock music" which flourished in the 1970's, 80's and continues today and will be around I believe 1000 years from now! It's that cool of a sound.

I'm not trying to knock your guitar playing, it's just this is another where I can't hear vocals over the overdriven guitar. you really don't need anything new, just turn down the guitar a bit to hear the vocals
