Out Of Phase

I lucked onto a music video that someone had posted. The visuals were nice, the tune was haunting but the words were awfully soppy. "I know that tune", I thought- "and it has better words than these."

Damn it. The realization clicked into place. It's The Bold Fenian Men.

I'm not Irish. Never have been that I recollect. but I'm in a mood for rebel songs. Something to do with being against everything the world thinks, everything the world says, everything the world does...

By world I mean government and corporations and media and all their poor silly dupes.

So...

The Bold Fenian Men
The Foggy Dew
The Rising of the Moon.

My current earworm is A Man You Don't Meet Everyday (The Pogues)- not exactly a rebel song, but one that's out of kilter, out of phase, distinctly odd...
