Galileo

from Songs from Here by Ardú

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The physical version of our newest studio album, Songs from Here.
    In addition to the CD, the case features the original artwork of Lynn MacPherson, a printed list of tracks and a dedication to our closest fans and followers.

    "Songs from Here" is Ardú's latest studio album dedicated to Irish music. Featuring original arrangements written for and performed by the singers of Ardú, the tracks offer a bit of something for everyone. The album truly is an ode to Irish music, Irish artists and Irish culture, emphasising its diversity through a choice selection of popular contemporary songs by Irish artists, covers of songs by up-and-coming Irish singer-songwriters, as well as new versions of traditional Irish tunes. It was recorded in late 2021 and early 2022.

    We are grateful to the wonderful tradition of songwriting in Ireland which inspired the essence of this album. In particular Van Morrison, Kodaline, Carl Corcoran, Suzanne Savage, Declan O'Rourke, Eoin O'Callaghan, B*witched and James Kelly.

    We would like to extend a warm thanks to our Patreon community who have continually supported us in 2022 and have significantly contributed to the album's creation, with a special shout-out to our top-tier Patrons Maureen and Gary Warwick, Alan Kelly and Deirdre Michael.

lyrics

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?

Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy
And he wondered what in heaven, who invented such a joy
But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying gaze
He looked up high and often sighed
And sometimes cried

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you and made them mine?

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives for I remember when
I was lonely and unhappy
And my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me and good heavens
Now I'm here in paradise
So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won't be blind and I won't cry
I'll look up high and gladly sigh
And thank the guy

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you and made them mine?
And made them mine?

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo fell in love
