Not as much of coincidence as when I posted a IRA video and custom made the picture and some guy uploaded the picture and song on his channel. Two different people did actually but hey what can you do...
I think it's interesting stylistically, it starts off slow with the grief as we introduce a story we all know how it ends, the pain of the desperation for the rising to succeed, then the tempo picks up representing the rising itself, the energy of battle, then slows down again with the grief of the executions and despair for the cause, and then a final massive key change as we remember the glory and how even though few lived to see it, the Easter rising was the first step for the eventual victory of the cause the men died for. Some versions are slow all the way through as a lament, some quick as a glory of battle style military song, but I think combining them really tells the story, especially as the lyrics fit the tempo changes
Im on tears...it's so beautiful
The fanfare at the beginning of the song is a beautiful sound of indomitable spirit and sad history.

LOL! I did an AI Cover of this just recently. And I used the same image for my video! God what a coincidence!
