It’s St. Patrick’s Day? Spring is awakening? What better time then for a Corrs tune- and a love song at that. One of my favorites ever.

Read more →It was nearly 15 years ago that, one evening, I sat in one of the local Flying Star coffee shops visiting with my Aunt Sharon when this song came on in the background music stream. I remember hearing bits of the lyrics and the driving drum bed and was so distracted I excused myself momentarily to find out who this group was. So began my affection for the music of these four Irish siblings.
So much talent in one family, as showcased here in this video, which was the second single released off of their debut album of the same. The Corrs have had massive success in Britain, Ireland and Australia while experiencing mediocre reception in the U.S. Still, their music has sold over 40 million albums worldwide since 1995.
Great musicians. Great lyricists. Great music.
Dug out a Corrs disc. Love me some Corrs. As my Grandma Collins would say, “Not an ugly one in the bunch.”
