Ushag Veg Ruy, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? In the Pines!

Liner Notes

One man's lullaby is another's murder ballad.

This is about a traditional Manx gaelic song https://culturevannin.im/news/ushag-veg-ruy-624309/ that has travelled widely over the years ...

I think this will probably get played live this year, hopefully the musical half will make it less bleak than I have. The poetic bit will need rewriting, but you get the gist.

I was intrigued by that combination of tags and wasn't sure what to expect but this is quite unique! Interesting blend of the modern industrial sounds, the traditional song, and the spoken word poetry. Was neat to read the article and hear the more traditional version. Would be very interesting to see this performed live.
