"being half the way to useful" That line gets me. Great song sir!

[@yasumedia9528]

This right here is Colm at his finest! It has folksy, personal lyrics, Irish spirit, shanty-esque refrains, and this highlander/viking energy. I love everything about it. More Colm originals please!

Beautiful location, an amazing song, and a stupendously handsome singer! Truly another colm classic!!! Stay very Handsome!

[@arandomjonathan04]

This feels like the perfect culmination of all your music so far: the screaming vocals from your metal covers, the strings setting the stage, the trad influences in your lyrics and instrumentation, the freaky bass that drew so many to your videos, the complex lyrics that tell of a life young but still well lived, and most importantly, the songs of the sea, sung from a place deep within the soul that tell of love, camaraderie, and adventure - a theme that is fitting in a world that, despite its sprawling concrete jungles, holds a more uncertain adventure than any seen before. You're past originals have all been incredible in their own right, but this one feels like a more mature sound and writing, but also very reflective and introspectice. Youve made an incredible video and song that reads like poetry and sounds like a battle cry, and i cant wait to see what comes next.

[@unclebozo9845]

don't you mean COLMination?

[@baglesscat4411]

Colm always finds new ways to surprise and astonish us.

[@MitchSnider]

A most handsome tune! Thank you for adding the lyrics in the description. I wish more artists would do that.

[@MitchSnider]

Ah yes and thanks for making it available on iTunes right away so I could purchase a copy as well. Slainte.

[@boudiccam4417]

Less than a fortnight after this song was released, it’s already on the heavy rotation list of my music. Cheers Colm, you have written a lovely, modern Irish folk song. Absolutely grand tune!

[@murderofhawks1382]

This is exactly the kind of love song that hits wanting to give so much more than you can is such a bittersweet feeling

[@thelorewright]

All of your originals are so good, but there's something extra compelling about this one. I might have to listen to it again to really let it sink in.

[@reikawahara770]

This is EXTRAORDINARY. Your covers are great but your original music is astounding, the highest quality of modern music.

[@tealovinggeek2192]

Holy crap- the first few notes gave me shivers, then the visuals made me crave that exact setting, and now she lives in my playlist and my head rent free. Sweet mercy-- **Throws arms in the air like a lil kid** Again!! **Slams the repeat button**

[@arttops2563]

1:18 those deep bass guitar (I think) notes + the way they suddenly cut out and return as well as the deep humming reminded me of the Dune theme for some reason. Epic in everyway!

[@Keri-Ann-Laspata]

This beat reminds me of the ebb and flow of the ocean waves. Fast paced in portions, slow and steady with a calm soothing rhythm, and aggressive in other parts. I know what I will be listening to while at the beach.❤

[@carlij.5683]

I swear Colm has got the blood of the old bards in him.

I've had this song playing at least 10x a day since release. Colm please release a lot more originals cause they just addictive. Plus the video goes perfectly with this amazing song.

[@grimwriter9763]

Words cannot describe how much I love this one. I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say I've listened to a minimum of 10x today. 'half the man you think I am is twice the man I need to be' is giving Bilbo Baggins trying to confuse his guests vibes and I love it p.s. look at our boi with the fancy music video!! makes me absurdly happy.

[@Scrydragon]

Incredible. I love the fact that you even used the setting to tell a story with the song. And if I hadn't been forced to move out of state, I definitely would have come to see you at the House of Blues in San Diego!

Hoooolyyyy peeps..I've been waiting for this song like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. I added it to my playlist before I even listened to it, and I knew it was gonna be a bop. And let me tell u, it did NOT disappoint. It's is sooooo hecking good, it should be illegal, u know! The beat is so catchy, I'm gonna have to get it checked out by a doctor. The lyrics are so fire, I'm gonna need a fire extinguisher. And the vocals are so on point, I'm gonna have to go get a new pair of glasses. This song is a straight up banger, and I'm gonna be listening to it on repeat for the rest of my life. 10000000000000000/10 would recommend.

[@Lee-vn8xg]

Well, time to make this song my entire personality for the next few weeks and think about almost nothing else! The raw emotion in your performance, the quality of your voice, the vocals mixing with the instrumentals so flawlessly, the lyrics! The LYRICS. The LUNG POWER. I hope we get to see more even originals from you in the future!

Thank you for posting this. The words of his originals are always amazing. He's a treasure.

[@tiffanysmith490]

I've been thinking the second-to-last chorus doesn't end with "Dublin" tho. Starts with an f, so maybe function? That doesn't feel right either. Might it be a different location (similar to Dublin maybe)?

[@Sebritoh]

​​​@@tiffanysmith490I won't deny that the Dublin @ 3:10 sounds like he is saying F*ckin, but chances the Function chorus line sounded stronger when Dublin was sung again or he said Falkin,but I doubt it

[@blurred-antics]

unquestionably a new favorite, holy shit !! that sudden bass drop in the middle esp, it's soooo tasty and haunting, it contrasts the harmonies beautifully. And that's not to mention a whole ass stunning music video?? Idek where to start with that. In short? you've outdone yourself and then some, capt'n 🧡
