  • Feet of a Dancer Maura O'Connell,
    {written by Charlie McGettigan}
    recorded Siamsa Cois Laoi, Cork, 1986.
    I hope you find the feet of a dancer,
    I hope you can sing in the rain,
    I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain;
    It won't be easy, what can I say,
    There will be trouble along the way;
    'Round every corner there's terror and tear,
    Always remember that we're here.
    I hope you find the feet of a dancer,
    I hope you can sing in the rain,
    I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain;
    I hope you find love and affection,
    I hope you find someone who cares;
    I hope you find all the right directions everywhere,
    Everywhere.
    A shoulder to cry on whenever you're alone,
    You can rely on us you know;
    Nothing too crazy, nothing too dear,
    Always remember that we're here.
    I hope you find the feet of a dancer,
    I hope you can sing in the rain,
    I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain;
    I hope you find love and affection,
    I hope you find someone who cares;
    I hope you find all the right directions everywhere,
    Everywhere.
    Sometimes when the rain comes pouring down,
    When it comes pouring down,
    Down on you.
    I hope you find the feet of a dancer,
    I hope you can sing in the rain,
    I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain;
    I hope you find love and affection,
    I hope you find someone who cares;
    I hope you find all the right directions everywhere,
    Everywhere.
    I hope you find all the right directions everywhere,
    Everywhere.

    I was at Siamsa in1986 I was18 there with some college friends , heard Maura Sing there for the 1st time and just fell in love with her music , she is in my opinion one of the best female vocalists to come out of Ireland ......

    It was blustery. When I hear this, I can still feel that wind on my face. I was 21 and we did a lot of singing that day.

    One of my favorite songs. My mother used to sing this too me when I was a baby. She was never as good as Maura, of course, but I loved it nonetheless.

    Saw her in Portland, Maine last year and she still sounds as good as ever. One of the best female Irish vocalists of all time.

    Now I know where American Country music found its roots. Never dawned on me before

    • @MrMusicguyma
      @MrMusicguyma 8 років тому +1

      American country music came from a blend of Irish, Scottish and English roots, as well as African American influence. These days, old time country and bluegrass are washing back to the UK and Ireland and making new hybrids. It was ever thus, and I hope it will continue The World is big jukebox now ;).

    Pitty I was only 4 in 1986, Cois Laoi looks cool. I remember beat on the street out in the lee fields in 1996 thou. I can remember the big hype when Micheal J, came in 1988. Best of all though was Cork coming back with Liam Mc Carthy and Sam Maguire in september 1990.

    It won't be easy
    But what can I say
    There will be trouble along the way
    And around every corner
    There'll be terror and tears
    But always remember that we're here
    [Chorus]
    And I hope you find the feet of a dancer
    I hope you can sing in the rain
    I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain
    And I hope you find love and affection
    I hope you find someone who'll care
    I hope you find all the right direction everywhere
    Everywhere
    [Verse 2]
    A shoulder to cry on
    Whenever you're alone
    You can rely on us you know
    'Cause there's nothing too crazy
    And there's nothing too dear
    But always remember that we're here

    She has completely lost her Irish accent but thankfully not her voice.
