"Only yesterday did I discover that her group, or she herself, had composed the song in memory of the event in Warrington. My wife came home from the police centre where she worked yesterday and told me the news. I got the song up on the laptop, watched the band singing, saw Dolores and listened to the words. The words are both majestic and also very real … The event at Warrington, like the many events that happened all over Ireland and Great Britain, affected families in a very real way and many people have become immune to the pain and suffering that so many people experienced during that armed campaign. To read the words written by an Irish band in such compelling way was very, very powerful."
