Hear me (from 'Waking Ned Devine') - Shaun Davey

Hear me was specially written for the Waking Ned album as part of a continued collaboration between Shaun Davey and the film's director, Kirk Jones. The song is derived from the belief, central to the film's narrative, that by respecting their memory and their wishes, we, the living, can have a sense of communication with those who have passed on.

'May the Holy angels, O Christ, son of the living God, tend our sleep, our rest, our warm bed. May no demons, no ill or terrifying dreams disturb our rest, our ready and swift repose.'
