Song" — The Gloaming: "the Pilgrim's
The Irish contemporary folk supergroup released "The Pilgrim's Song" as the opening track of their second album, 2 (2016). The song's lyrics are a composite of two poems by the celebrated 20th-century Irish-language poet Seán Ó Ríordáin (1916–1977): "Oilithreacht Fám Anam" ( A Pilgrimage of My Soul ) and "A Sheanfhilí, Múinídh Dom Glao" ( Old Poets, Teach me the Call ). Lyrics (Gaeilge)
: The band’s name refers to the twilight period after sunset—a "world between worlds" that mirrors their musical style, which blends traditional Irish influences with modern minimalism, jazz, and classical music. The Gloaming: "The Pilgrim's Song"
