It's simple, we find songs that have historical context within the lyrics and then dissect those lyrics on the show. Whether it's a song about a ship that sank in the Great Lakes or an ancient folk song about Mongolian sky gods, we will explore it's historical context. But more importantly, we will dig into what the songwriter was trying to communicate and why.

Episode 25: Be Thou My Vision (Scott, Sean, & Scott Fischbuch)

For our 25th episode Scott Fischbuch joins us for a much needed white pill. We discuss the traditional Irish hymn Be Thou My Vision (Rop tú mo baile in Irish). Originating in the 6th Century AD and written in Old Irish, the hymn was not translated into English until 1905 and was not set to music until 1919. The poem was written by the Ollamh Érenn (Chief Poet of Ireland) Eochaid mac Colla (AKA Saint Dallán Forgaill) who lived between 560 AD and 640 AD and used as a lorica by the early Irish. The music is set to an Irish folk tune called Slane. Scott F. leads us in a faith-promoting discussion on Christianity and having hope in a fallen world. Éirinn go Brách!
