THE BEAUTY OF EVERYDAY THINGS

Finally the Summer’s upon us
Blackbird sweetly sings
The cuckoo rules in the meadow
The beauty of everyday things

Nature basks in sunlight
Summery long days bring
Peace and love and freedom
The beauty of everyday things

The postman's in the doorway
I know the old song he sings
We laugh looking over the ocean
The beauty of everyday things

The hurler is conducting
Midfield like Christy Ring
Thousands witness magic
The beauty of everyday things

The beauty, the beauty
The beauty of everyday things...

I dive off the pier in Gleninagh
Like a teenage submarine
I hold my life's breath tightly
The beauty of everyday things

Heat on aging faces
Oblivious to bling
Good times together
The beauty of everyday things

I want to hold the feeling
But it's no good to bling
Learn the hunter's patience
The beauty of everyday things

Won't be long 'til Christmas
Is slipping into Spring
Keep the home fires burning
The beauty of everyday things

The beauty, the beauty
The beauty of everyday things...

"Finally the Summer’s upon us...

This is the first song from my new record Bittersweet Crimson, coming out July 20th, 2020.

I am quite moved by this video, filmed by Matthew Kelly. People of all ages around Clahane County Clare, painted the rocks and stones and created this gallery of love and hope during the Lockdown of 2020. People have such beauty within, and this is what I see on this wall. In the dark days of isolation, and separation, people young and old create, and then share, their colourful visions, for all of us in the area. And so, with this song, I can now share this gallery of love and hope with everyone.

The record will be available on July 20th at www.lukabloom.com"
