For the people asking about the meaning of Sirona :)


The song has two meanings!

1. It's about personal healing through music with the goddess's song as a metaphor (The theme of the whole album is healing/catharsis through art)

2. Sirona was a Celtic goddess of healing & rebirth on the European continent. But Ireland 'never found' her, she only made it as far as Gaul. Therefore in the universe of the song we still have a hole in our heart that we as a nation have never truly recovered or 'healed' from. Hence my call to 'Come and heal us too' in the middle section :)

I imagined her singing watery, fluid songs to the ancient Celts to bring them health & rebirth.
It's also neither a religious nor anti-religious song, nothing to do with beliefs. I just liked the mythical character :)
