Be Brave and Believe - Declan O'Rourke

[@millyvolance]

This song saved my life - literally

[@bealfeirsteabu]

I'm glad of that and hope you are well. Always done it for me as well.

[@equinlan2]

I've loved Declan's music for years, and I had the privilege of hearing him in concert a few times. This song has gotten me through some really dark times. Sometimes all you need is a soothing voice reminding you that things will be ok, and that you are still alive. Thank you Declan for your comforting music.

Moved across the seas to a new land, I was extremely lonely at times, this guy, his music and words gave me a pat on my back, kept me going, very grateful for people like you !! Thank you

[@loopybowl]

Officially my favourite musician. I only found him yesterday.

[@omswaney]

Sometimes a song comes to you just when you need it the most. Extraordinary

[@lmc4229]

This song gets me every time, I close my eyes and it's my Dad reassuring me. I discovered Declan about 8 years ago when I tagged along with friends to see him at the An Grianan, such a talent and personality. I've been enjoying his beautiful voice ever since.

[@beakaeire2709]

I'm only after finding this guy a few days ago. Jesus he is brilliant. Can't stop listening

[@Hellsbells2719]

Might sound corny but you just got to see him live to appreciate fully the beauty in his music, lyrics and in Declan himself, a beautiful soul. Took the kids with us to see him in Conary last year, very special.

[@robjjc]

A big fan and heard this from someone else. Cant wait to see him live

[@charliehopkins4415]

Great song and message for anybody, anywhere, especially now.

[@VioletWillowTree]

"The first thing I want you to know is that everything is going to be alright". Such simple lyrics that mean everything. Beautiful

[@pjames360]

Just heard this guy tonight and have been listening for hours...great music.

[@nellsmith9721]

I was once told this was a very special song ... I was once told a lot of things .... despite that ... this is still a very special song ....

[@Marylo007]

Thanks Declan, this one has gotten me through lots of spirals on the road, pure classic

[@weenightowl1715]

When I first found this song I was going through a really difficult time in my life and listening to this was so soothing and reassuring. Music is powerful. Thank you Declan for this and for a wonderful chance meeting because of you and your music. :)

[@abbaelo]

I listened to you on the NZ concert station and was memorized with 'children of 16' and loved your voice with that song and then this one too is gorgeous.

[@ronanmcmahon2]

Ar fheabhas ar fad. Tabhair tacaíocht do cheoltoirí na tíre seo. Níl muid ann go fóill ach tiocfaidh an lá. Bulaí fír a Declan.

[@Prellium]

This guy's great.

[@richardtcooke]

Like your song- love your voice

[@Paddyslippers]

what a fuckin masterpiece... Awesome!

[@davegavinart]

Nice one Declan, When are you coning back to Oldcastle mate?

[@MrConnearn]

Time for another studio romp! From the man who saw Paul Simon

[@bellabell737]

Galileo is his "Yesterday." 👌

[@djk141]

Declan plays this in an open tuning. You can drop it down a half step in standard tuning and then its just basic chords, Em/Am etc which you can figure out. It wont be exactly as he plays it but you'll be able to play along.

[@nellsmith9721]

💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@JunkInTheFrunk]

He is better live. :)

[@MariahHeathcote]

I don't suppose anybody knows the chords to this song?

[@SMELLTHEBULL]

He's a wonderful singer/songwriter/guitarist but he's terrible at lip-syncing!
