Intro
Didgeridoo drone rising like mist over moor
Circular breathing - ancient and patient
Wind and space - green hills waiting
Single tin whistle note - lonely and pure
Floating over didgeridoo drone
Two ancient voices meeting across oceans
Uilleann pipes drone joining didgeridoo
Two drones harmonizing - Celtic and Aboriginal cousins
Verse 1 - Sean-nós Style
Didgeridoo drone steady underneath
Unaccompanied voice - ornamented and free
Didgeridoo breathing between phrases
Ancient Gaelic over ancient Australian
Tá mé ag siúl san oíche
Didgeridoo breath
Ag éisteacht leis an ngaoth
Didgeridoo pulse
An sean-cheol ag glaoch orm
Didgeridoo swell
Ón talamh thíos
I walk in the night / Listening to the wind / The old music calling / From the earth below
Ya-na-ma... ya-na-ma...
Aboriginal chant joining Gaelic - same earth song
Bodhrán enters - heartbeat with drone
Didgeridoo and bodhrán locked - tribal Celtic
Chorus - Jig Energy
Didgeridoo driving - dance foundation
Fiddle flying over drone - wild and joyful
Tin whistle joining - bright and quick
Bodhrán driving with didgeridoo pulse
HEI-YA the dreaming reel
Didgeridoo hit
YA-LA-MA spin and wheel
Didgeridoo pulse
Two old lands, one tune we feel
Didgeridoo swell
Dancing on the dreaming reel
HEI-YA! HEI-YA!
Didgeridoo and bodhrán
ÚP! ÚP!
Celtic shout answering
Instrumental - The Reel
Didgeridoo drone driving - never stopping
Fiddle solo flying over drone - impossible speed
Circular breathing relentless underneath
Tin whistle trading phrases with fiddle
Didgeridoo overtones dancing with melody
Bouzouki joining - rhythmic pulse
All instruments over didgeridoo foundation
Drone holding earth while Celtic flies
Breakdown
Just didgeridoo and bodhrán - primal pulse
Clap sticks joining hand claps
Two tribal rhythms merged
Verse 2 - Slower Air
Didgeridoo drone soft and gentle
Uilleann pipes melody - sorrowful beauty
Pipes and drone intertwined - long-lost brothers
Circular breathing as lament
Mo sheanathair ag canadh
Didgeridoo breath
Do sheanathair ag séideadh
Didgeridoo pulse
An t-aon amhrán céanna
Didgeridoo swell
Roimh na focail féin
My grandfather singing / Your grandfather blowing / The same one song / Before words themselves
Ooo-wa-na... ooo-wa-na...
Low chant - ancestors by fire
Building
Didgeridoo rising - storm over hills
Fiddle returning - urgent now
Bodhrán building - battle coming
Tin whistle crying - call to dance
Chorus - Full Power
Didgeridoo roaring underneath
All Celtic instruments blazing
Drone driving everything forward
HEI-YA THE DREAMING REEL
YA-LA-MA SPIN AND WHEEL
Didgeridoo thunder
TWO OLD LANDS, ONE TUNE WE FEEL
DANCING ON THE DREAMING REEL
HEI-YA-MA! HEI-YA-MA!
Didgeridoo and bodhrán war
TIOCFAIDH! TIOCFAIDH!
It will come! Celtic cry
Bridge - Drone Conversation
Uilleann pipes drone alone with didgeridoo
Two drones speaking - ancient conversation
Circular breathing meeting bag breathing
Same technology different lands
Ya-la-ma ya-la-ma
Over twin drones
Dún do shúil
Close your eyes
Ya-la-ma ya-la-ma
Drones breathing together
Final Reel - Maximum Joy
Didgeridoo driving - unstoppable
Fiddle screaming joy over drone
Tin whistle flying - birds over hills
Bodhrán thundering with didgeridoo
Bouzouki driving - feet can't stop
All instruments peak celebration
Drone holding world while Celtic dances
HEI-YA! ÚP!
HEI-YA! ÚP!
YA-LA-MA!
Final hits together - didgeridoo and all
HEI!
Outro - Mist Returns
Instruments fading like sun setting
Fiddle last cry... gone
Whistle last breath... gone
Bodhrán last beat... gone
Uilleann pipes drone with didgeridoo remaining
Two drones holding - cousins saying goodbye
Pipes fade... gone
Didgeridoo alone in the mist
Circular breathing - oldest song
Green hills and red desert - same earth
Ya... la... ma...
Whispered like wind
Drone fading into moor silence
Always was here - always will be
