Irish rock / folk opera - help me write the story!

[Zootz]

Hey all - so one of the reasons I really enjoy Irish music is the story that often gets intertwined into the piece. So I thought it would be fun to try and create a set of linked stories across multiple songs - come check out the journey through the taverns, the low points and the memories, travel over the sea, coming home, meeting your love, facing unrest, war, and redemption (plus a fun bonus at the end).

Links across songs are loosely interpreted, sometimes by theme, sometimes by song title, sometimes its not an irish themed song per se but sung by an irish singer...)

If you have any songs that youd suggest would be a good fit to what I have so far or recommendations on some of the ordering (or even a new theme topic to add), itd' be great to get some feedback and improve the list. Changes to the list don't happen too often (once or twice a month), but I will be updating as I come across pieces that help to expand on the story.

Cheers,
Zootz
