Aoife O’Donovan on Transatlantic:
“I started writing Transatlantic many years ago. The lyric started as a classic love song, but when I dusted it off to complete it for this project with the Irish Arts Center, it became something different.
“I felt strangely moved by the nostalgia and longing for camaraderie, innocently described by my pre-pandemic self. As I finished the tune – feeling certain of nothing but the uncertainty of these times – I immediately began to hear the voice of Kris Drever, a friend from Glasgow.
“Kris enlisted his mates Euan Burton and Louis Abbott to be the rhythm section and layered the recording with the inimitable strings of Jeremy Kittel. The refrain references the old classic Loch Lomond, a ‘song from another time,’ Raise a glass. We will be together again soon.”
Transatlantic is available on all streaming services and via Bandcamp
