Notes from the Christy Moore Album
A lovely auld song, I tried to record it
many times after learning it from the
singing of Joe Heaney. I heard it on a
tape he made for Lynn Doherty in Maruba
New South Wales.
Sometimes I love to sing
this but not always. Most songs I can put
out almost at will but this one needs a lonely
air around it. It won't exist in my old
atmosphere but maybe needs the ears
of those who know the feeling of loneliness
I Wish I Had Someone To Love Me-Notes by Christy
Moore, from the box set album C.D.
