Release Lyrics
[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I'm sitting amongst yourselves
Don't think you can't see me
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven't gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
[Iarla Ó Lionáird:]
Ag trasna an linn
Ag feachaint síos tríd
Níl aon iarann i mo chroí inniu
Ag oscail an síol
Ag feitheamh an scéal
Níl aon airgead i mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I'm sitting amongst yourselves
Don't think you can't see me
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven't gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
[Iarla Ó Lionáird:]
Ag trasna an linn
Ag feachaint síos tríd
Níl aon iarann i mo chroí inniu
Ag oscail an síol
Ag feitheamh an scéal
Níl aon airgead i mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven't gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
[Iarla Ó Lionáird:]
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven't gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
[Iarla Ó Lionáird:]
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
I mo phóca innui
[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Reach out and you'll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you'll hear me
Be happy for me
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Singer-Songwriter Sinéad O'Connor sings about the loss of founding member Jonas Bruce’s life in the title track of Afro Celt Soundsystem’s Sophomore Album Volume 2: Release.
Joined by Afro Celt Soundsytem’s own Iarla Ó Lionáird, the song fuses traditional African, Irish and Electronic music which exists as a basis for many Afro Celt Soundsystem tracks.
The song’s use of 4/4 time, 100bpm, repetitive vocals, as well as a prevalent four-on-the-floor drum pattern instates its focus on its Electronic Dance influence.
The track sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, and was nominated for Best World Music award in the Grammy’s in 2000.
