Bridges are more than special to me ~ why else would I call this blog Social Bridge?
Today I would like to bring you a piece of Irish music An Droichead which is Irish for The Bridge, played by Liam O’Flynn and Mark Knopfler. I find it hauntingly beautiful and it gets me thinking of all the bridges, physical and social, that mean so much to me.
I’d love to hear about the bridges of your life, or indeed, the writings or music that you associate with them.
SOCIAL BRIDGE ~ Jean Tubridy connecting with you from Ireland 
Loved the music. Hmm…bridges. The first thing that comes to mind is the bridges I’ve burned. However, I’m finding new bridges to cross, and discovering many beautiful things.
Hello April, so pleased you enjoyed the music.
Yes, the burning of bridges is something that can be very thought-provoking in bot positive and negative ways. As for the new ones to cross, there is certainly a lot of choice out there!
I agree about the lessons learned about the burned bridges. Now I just have to decide which new ones I’m ready to cross.
Certainly not an easy decision ~ but the great thing about bridges is that you can always come back so long as you don’t burn them!
A lovely piece. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, Van!
I love Irish music. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kha, many thanks for writing. Much appreciated.
I thought Paddy Moloney was the only one who could play that contraption 🙂 Beautiful, and good to see the legendary Knopfler enjoying himself and content to quietly complement the pipes.
Bridges? The Loopline over the Liffey is ugly, iconic and an irreplaceable part of the capital.
Hi Roy, oh Liam O’Flynn is one of greats as well!
Interesting thought on bridges! Thanks.
This is beautiful, Jean! When I think of bridges, I also think of new “bridges in life” to cross, but a more literal version of the Golden Gate Bridge comes to mind, as well; my favorite, so far! 🙂 Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Lauren, yes so many new bridges to cross and I have to say that Golden Gate Bridge has a very special place in my heart too.
