Lyrics - Imtheochaidh soir is siar

** I will go east and go west

A dtáinig ariamh an ghealach is an ghrian

** From whence came the moon and the sun

Fol lol the doh, fol the day

Fol the doh, fol the day

Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian

** The moon and the sun will go

An duine óg is a cháil 'na dhiadh

** And the young man with his reputation behind him

Imtheochaidh a dtáinig ariamh

** I will go wherever he came from

An duine óg is a cháil ne dhiadh

** The young man with his reputation behind him

Harry's game was an ITV drama about Captain Harry Brown -- an SAS undercover agent - infiltrating the IRA. Harry is on a mission to find the assassin of a British Cabinet Minister in the Falls Road area of Belfast. Harry is alone: not even the army has been told of his presence; his wife is fed up with him. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, in which too many innocent lives will be impacted and neither side can win. Harry befriends a local woman who falls for him, and will in turn be consumed by Harry's relentless search for the assassin. The IRA soon realise they have an informant in their midst and bring in the same assassin to hunt down Harry. The play's ending ... (warning - spoiler!) .... was sad: the betrayed and by now dead Harry is lying on a dirty street as the locals just step over the body, ignoring it. Based on Gerald Seymour's first novel Available on DVD - ASIN: B0009YVDB2

Contains loose parallels with the real-life events of both Grenadier Guards/SAS Captain Robert Nairac, and his murder by the IRA in 1977, and the 1979 assassination of Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary Airey Neave.

The chorus "Fol lol the doh fol the day, Fol the doh fol the day", orginates in Irish mouth-music.

Written by Pól Ó'Braonáin of Clannad in 1982. Appears on several Clannad albums: Magical Ring; Pastpresent; Anam; Themes; Live In Concert; Hourglass (single), along with the more recent Celtic Woman recording

Documentary director Billy Magra put these visuals to the song, while shooting the Past & Present/ Clannad documentary in Donegal (no 'official' video clip was ever made for Harry's Game).

Sounds like the perfect background music----- if you're contemplating blowing your fucking brains out.... More depressing & queer than a Yanni or John Tesh CD

My Love of Music is Rock Music. 1960,s through to 1990,s mainly. But there is just something so special about Clannad and especially Maire Brennan,s beautifully haunting Vocals.
