In honor of the shortest day here and the longest day of the Southern Hemisphere, and because APOD put up this picture yesterday, here is a link to an archive of the solstice sunrise at Newgrange (and the associated webpage) and, of course, an associated song. (What with my current Celtic Mania and all.)



Newgrange, by Clannad
(as performed by Celtic Woman)

There is a place on the east
Mysterious ring, a magical ring of stones
The druids lived here once, they said
Forgotten is the race that no one knows

Chorus (2x):

rum de rum 'rud a derimo
rum de rum 'rud a derimo

The circled tomb of a different age
Secret lines carved on ancient stones
Heroic kings laid down to rest
Forgotten is the race that no one knows

Chorus (2x):

Wait for the sun on a winter's day
And a beam of light shines across the floor
Mysterious ring, a magical ring
Forgotten is the race that no one knows
