I will always think this is the most beautiful song ever made and this performance is top notch.

[decotronq]

One of best Irish "hidden gems". I've known it for 25 yrs now. Glenn is gent as well... Stunning piece of art.

[lovereadingsnyc]

Yes Glen is one of the truest artists to ever live.

[funkypishkk]

What a perfect combination of raw passion and raw talent!

[isabellabretz]

I love this song S-O much. When they were here I asked Glen for them to play it and they did. It was fantastic!

[aircanuck]

This is the first time I have heard the Frames. I guess I am going to get busy, this is tremendous.

[nolanwinkler]

He's written so many beautiful songs but this one may be my favorite. And he wrote it at such a young age. Old soul.

[barbarahallowell]

Colm Mac Con Iomre is a genius.
When h8s violin hits I swoon and dance ❤😊❤
That is the true bliss

[irak]

Im truly obsessed with this song. I can die listening to it.
Thank you

[zkriegs]

One of the best performances of this song I've seen! Glen and company your insane.

[tjaehnigen]

This song blows me away. Every time. Especially live. Especially when you can see them in the tiniest most acoustic venue you can find. Just fucking astonishing.

[sokrateas]

Being able to compose music like this is what I strive for. Bravo!

[robertflanagan]

No other band or musician can some up soul and human emotion. Glen is a true gentleman.

[nolanwinkler]

One of the BEST EVER. Got to love that violin....and everyone. THAT

[MrFramesfan]

Probably the best version of fitzcarraldo I've heard yet... They just keep getting better!

[presidents]

In the original song the lyrics are "In my golden days I was A slave, " but here he says "In my golden days I was YOUR slave."  Also in the next chorus he says "I'll be YOUR saint" instead of "I was A saint."  I really like the different connotation.

[megancarty]

Seeing Glen this week in NY, heard this has been on the playlist this tour. This song’s building crescendo is epic! ❤️

"Fitzcarraldo"

Here, back, down a long and straight track
I have chose the long road
That leads me out to god knows
So I can't stop right now

Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
Lose their faith and slide
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day

It's the first of the ascension
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
And her last words were "I was only thinking of you"
In my golden days I was a slave

Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what you're after
My ship was sold right up the river
But I'm not going down here

This journey isn't over
It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you"
In my golden days I was a saint

Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
And her last words were "I'll see you down in history"
It's the only way that we can go
I shall eclipse you

It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true
