An Original from Me

I usually post my own versions of other songs here, but I've decided this time to put up an original of mine called "Long Shore". This is inspired by people in Newfoundland who have had to move thousands of miles to get work. It's a situation the Irish are used to and we are used to it here as well. Numerous people I grew up with have moved away and often end up raising their families away from the place that many still call home. It's something that many of them detest and I have to agree. The ones who stay often give the better paying jobs and opportunity to remain here.

Long Shore is a place in Heart's Content, NL where I'm from. The images of the power house, etc come from my experience.

A little something of home...
