Glenmacnass

This song, "Glenmacnass," aims to translate the visual majesty of the Wicklow Mountains into sound. Inspired by my photograph, "Valley Flow," the song traces the path of the Glenmacnass River as it carves through ancient granite and heather-burned hills.

The track opens with gentle acoustic instrumentation that mimics the "silver water" tumbling over stones, building into a soaring, rhythmic chorus that echoes the power of the waterfall itself. Lyrically, it is an anthem for the hiker and the dreamer. It’s a plea to "leave the city and the heavy world behind" in exchange for the high ground and the open sky.

Perfect for fans of atmospheric folk and nature-inspired songwriting, "Glenmacnass" offers a moment of peace and a reminder that, like the river, we can wash the worry from our minds.
