Flashback! Lisa Hanigan performing Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know live on 3FM.

LISA HANNIGAN - Somebody That I Used to Know (Live on 3FM)

 Facebook flagged this clip as a memory and I thought it worth revisiting for sure . . .I feel like I didn’t keep up with Lisa well enough and she is deserved of more attention (well here at least!?) so there is THIS

Oh and if anybody wondered why I like Lisa Hannigan quite so much . . . . . . .from her new album 'At Swim' this song 'Anahorish'* will see you to bed with a smile

From singing back up for Damien Rice I have bought everything she has done. I was captivated the first time she played Glastonbury and she is quite simply exquisite!

* 'Anahorish' is a town that almost doesn't exist [sic] and is a poem by the wonderful Seamus Heaney Lisa (Irish) has taken the lyric from there

My "Place Of Clear Water"
The first hill in the world
Where springs washed into
The shiny grass

And darkened cobbles
In the bed of the lane
Anahorish, soft gradient
Of consonant, vowel-meadow

After-image of lamps
Swung through the years
On winter evenings
With pails and barrows

Those mound-dwellers
Go waist-deep in mist
To break the light ice
At wells and dunghills

I have always enjoyed the work of Lisa Hannigan from her backing other folk to her own albums and this came through posted yesterday but I am pleased to say I don't understand it at all! A little snippet of something . . . . . . ? I still liked it though . . . . . . . . if you check out her website you find she has just finished recording a new album to be out later in the year and if this is an advert for it, I approve
