St Patrick's Breastplate - Old prayer gets a musical update

1 year ago

I started writing songs a couple of years ago. This prayer was one that I wanted to set to music. While there are beautiful Irish versions, they are pretty much unsingable for the average person like me. I tried and tried to figure out how to do it. Eventually, it occurred to me that this would fit against the Blues making it a more modern version of chant.

Hope you like it. I am neither a singer or a guitar player. This is the best take I could do as the more I tried the worse it got. I'm sure St Patrick did not sing it perfectly when he was dodging those ruffians who were going to jump them on the road.
