The Island, it is silent now

[Special_Olympiakos]

I knew I wouldn’t be alone in thinking it. There’s some serious knowledge in the barstools of Ireland .

Philip Chevron had a mighty turn of phrase in penning a song. The Radiator’s Faithful Departed is an all-time classic of Irish songwriting.

Faithful departed, look what you started
An underdog’s wounds aren’t so easy to mend
Faithful departed, there’s no broken-hearted
And no more tristesse in your world without end.
