From the recording Connemara
Belfast-based folk artist Love from Belfast (Robert Boake) returns with his luminous new single, “Connemara,” released on 1 March 2026. Written during a family trip to the west of Ireland, the song captures a moment of complete presence — where landscape, music, and memory quietly intertwine on a sunlit beach.
Lyrics
Connemara (Words and Music by Robert Boake – Love from Belfast)
Good morning, Connemara
I’m leaving, I’ll be gone tomorrow
Your mountains, reaching for the sky
I’m leaving but it’s not goodbye
Good evening, Clifden town
I heard the music, it was swirling around
Your beaches, are perfect for playing guitar
I’m leaving but I won’t go far
I flow like a river
Down to the ocean
Flow like a river
I’m down in slow-motion I
Flow like a river
Down to the ocean
I know I know one thing
It’s that I know nothing
I flow like a river
Down to the ocean
Flow like a river
I’m down in slow-motion I
Flow like a river flow like a river flow like a river, down
Good morning, Connemara
I’m leaving, I’ll be gone tomorrow.
