Beautiful James! From his album October Road.."God's Rifle" There are rifles buried in the countryside by the rising of the moonMay they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the groundWho will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an endWho will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a countrymanWho will say "this far no further, oh lord, if I die today"Send no weapons no more money. Send no vengeance across these seasJust the blessing of forgiveness for my new countryman and meMissing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the groundCould we but hear them would they not tell us"Time to lay God's rifle down."Who will say this far no further, oh Lord, if I die today.

I know little about this area of the world or the music and story this song is truely tied tied. But you cant help but be moved by the sincerity of the chorus and the words strung together by these magnificent musicians (nice to see/hear Jerry Douglas).They tie your heart to those souls persuaded to do the bidding of others in the name of the Almighty. This common occurrence continues to be played out over the generations in most parts of the world. Hence the relevancy even today spanning across oceans and continents and the need to truly listen, remember, and march to tunes like this with compassion and an open heart less we repeat the same fate. Beautifully done.....peace and thanks for the post.

I have looked for this for so long since it aired on bbc tv. Thank you! Though something happened to make the bodhran quieter, I still find it beautiful. I agree with the comments below that this deserves a place far higher in the rankings.

They should play this throughout Northern Ireland every day of the 'marching season'

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS STATEMENT. It took me many years, and battles with many program directors, radio consultants. I got to the point where I had to leave my career in radio after 16 yrs. because I could not be a puppet. I now turn to you tube for music I want to hear. (no bullshit)
