Irish Song Lyrics and Folk Music Inspiration

I've started putting together a new website of Irish Songs & Lyrics starting with they lyrics from my Celtic Lyrics - Scottish & Irish Folk Songs directory from The Bards website.

I can't help but to snicker a wee bit. Here I'm listening to The Corries and being swamped with inspiration. Since I first started my Celtic Lyrics Directory, I've wanted to make a huge site filled with Scottish and Irish songs and lyrics and streaming MP3 audio tracks so people could listen and learn. Course, it'd also serve to help sell our Celtic folk CDs, but mostly, I just want to have THE site that people swarm to for those Scotch-Irish lyrics.

Alas, there's just not enough time in the day. And I have too many projects under my belt to spend that much time with it. But as I listen to The Corries, I can't help but to feel that neurotic drive to race home and start recording song after song of lyrics. Hundreds upon hundreds of great folk songs. The definitive site out there. Ah well...

Mayhaps next year when Celtic music is my full-time career, I'll make it happen. Shoot, sadly, even my Free MP3 Music Download of the Month has suffered due to laziness, fatigue, and depression. But new stuff is coming soon.

After all, we're currently mixing a new live CD of mostly Irish songs along with a bunch of filk. And then there's the Scottish CD coming soon.

So who knows. Mayhaps one day, I'll achieve my goal. It's a slow process, but as long as I keep listening to The Corries, The Dubliners, and all of those great Celtic folk singers, the inspiration will keep coming back.
