A wee packet popped through the post this week ... ... .. .. CD shaped

it was
it was
the new album from Michael McDermott
(thanx Dave)


Been playing it since

on the tube

via the iPod

at home

via the desktop

playing now.


Last time he played Greenbelt

first time

was 2005

in the Performance Cafe

a tent
packed.

I was sat with Ollie
who I knew
and loved from a Hostel
he had been through hell
was

and always was

a beautiful human

we loved the gig

get to see him if you can

I will

I can.


A man with such feelings

ability

passion

Has had tough times

and it leaks

lyrically

musically

presence.


I remember

at the end of his set

he said this was his last song

he did it

left us clapping to the beat
singing the chorus

then
he then ran through the audience

disappeared

never returned

no encore


Ringin’ out from the mountains
Ringin’ out from the valleys
Ringin’ out for my homeland
And the blood in the alley
Ringin’ out for the drunk ones
Ringin’ out for the sober
Ringin’ out for the lover, who knows that its over
Ringin’ out for the hungry
Ringin’ out for the homeless
Ringin’ out for the righteous
Ringin’ out for the hopeless
Ringin’ out in the blackness
Ringin’ out for the soldier
Ringin’ out for the future, waitin’ over your shoulder
Ringin’ out for the sinner
Singin’ out for the accuser
Ringin’ out for the winner
Ringin’ out for the loser
Ringin’ out for the orphan
And the disbeliever
Ringin’ out for the honest
And the deceiver
Ringin’ out for me
Ringin’ out for you





Noise from Words
