A song that calls us to listen to the wisdom of past times, that contemplates what we’ve lost and how progress means more and more intensive farming.
This collaboration was challenging but we had fun and we hope it resonates with folks in both the US and in Ireland. Written by Curt Tramel and Enda Reilly
It’d be great if you listen on Spotify and add to your playlists.

.Housed in a 1940’s gas station, it’s easy to “fill up on memories” here at Station 66. Enjoy a bite from our homemade food menu featuring all-American classics and enjoy an old-fashioned, glass-bottled soda out of our vintage, 1940’s Coke machine. Have fun checking out the store’s original gas station artifacts and be sure to enjoy our huge side yard with picnic tables, cornhole games, our giant ice cream cone, and plenty of room to roam and explore!#nature#newsong#harvest#newirishmusic#newfolk#newmusic
I was recently contacted by Abbey from planetresolution.com and asked to do a version of the Resolution Song as Gaeilge and one day later this is what I had. There are many great versions with choirs and all manner of amazing musicians out there if you search #planetresolution. Nice to see others singing about this most important of causes and great to see how this song has brought folks from all over the world together through song. I decided to do some looping as there’s so many options for that with this song. Irish and English lyrics are below.
Beir bua! E

Taispeáin do Rúndaingne (An Domhain ar ár nGuaillí)
Tá sé fógartha
Ta sé glaoite amach
Cad feasta?
Ó ghuth amháin go
dtí an slua is mó
Cad feasta?
‘s le fáilte is fiche (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Do gach braon aigéanach (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Taispeán do rúndaingne (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Deirfimis
Is lá nua amárach
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Chuirfimis an síol
Athrímís-lái threach bonn
le haghaidh domhain níos fearr
áit níos fearr láithreach bonn
‘s le fáilte is fiche (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Do gach braon aigéanach (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Taispeán do rúndaingne (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Deirfimis
Is lá nua amárach
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
English lyrics
World On Our Shoulders
We have called it out
We have said it loud
What now ?
From a single voice
to the greatest crowd
What now
With our arms wide open (Time For a Change)
For every drop in the ocean (Time For A Change)
Make a Resolution (Time For A Change)
We say
Tomorrow’s a new day
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
We can plant the seeds
We can make a change right now
For a better world
For a better place right now
With our arms wide open (Time For a Change)
For every drop in the ocean (Time For A Change)
Make a Resolution (Time For A Change)
We say
Tomorrow’s a new day
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
Hello everybody, Well as some of know i got to perform from a wonderful venue recently. Here’s a video of a song of mine from the recent Cross Roads Céilí at The Ark. Michael Gavin and Rachel Pearson did a great job on this song and it was great to be involved in the event, thanks again to the Gavins. And great job by the team at The Ark – Ann Arbor The entire concert is still up on the Ark’s facebook page. Joe Giese and Cory did a wonderful job on the sound and video. During the rest of the concert Seán Gavin was awesome on the pipes and flute, Rachel and Michael sang songs, Mick played the fiddle and the box and there were some lovely moments.
That feeling of excitement that we got as kids in the run up to Christmas is a special thing, going to meet family, religious events, cards coming in the mail all building up to the excitement of Christmas Day. With events happening on zoom and delivery vans dropping by every hour and plenty of various restrictions no matter where you are in the world this year is different but even in this context I hope you feel the excitement of the days counting down.
I’m feeling the relief that the year is almost over and we are now at Christmas. It’s kinda a note home to friends in Ireland, sadness that I can’t make it home but thankful for the bit of magic and mystery that Christmas brings. make it a good one folks!
