“Chasing frothy bubbles whilst the world is full of troubles”. It’s utterly beautiful. This song brought this previously unknown poem to me. I’m eternally grateful.

The utter size of Mike Scott’s balls, after giving up on a U2, Simple Minds size stadium career. Then to hand this into his record company. This was the first proper gig I ever saw, and the first album C.D. WhT a fuckin’ legend.

Fascinating, intriguing and spectacular. The photography is pretty good too 🤣.

Stunning work Mark. It is awesome to see places we may never visit.

Yeats was such a genius...such melancholic but beautiful poetry.

Powerful lyrics and well put to song by the Waterboys.

Beautiful photographs of one of my favourite wild places, have many happy memories exploring Snowdonia from Capel-Curig with good friends. Thanks for posting. Love Yeats.

Haunting but engaging to ones fantasy.

The opening scene could be on Streedagh Strand in Co. Sligo...the ribs of one the three ships  La Lavia,  La Juliana, and the Santa Maria de Visón. All were part of the Levant squadron of the invincible armada or else it's just my imagination run wild...
