Walk like a man keep your shoulders broad,
Ease up on the mincing you’ll fit in with the crowd.
Jack O’Rourke – Silence
Elaine Murphy writes:
A former teacher of mine has co written and produced this song for the upcoming marriage referendum. All profits are going towards Amnesty International. The song is so beautifully written and produced, I have shed many a tear listening to it. It’s about suppression and about someone growing up gay in Ireland’s past – how there were alot of silent song birds – but now that is changing – so there’s hope underneath all those minor chords….”

It’s nice but hardly rousing the troops. This is the sort of thing should be flying around Ireland’s LGBT. Duck the past. Get your ass off the sofa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iFBXjRbVl0
