about

JOE HURLEY---Live at Public Theatre, NYC. Prod by Kris Woolsey


" Joe Hurley shakes the Irish out of the Irish - and brings us all back together again. He's an old seanchai in a rock star's shoes, a poet of microcosm with a stereoscopic vision, a balladeer with a whole lot of landscape in his voice. He sings out from the anonymous corners where the best stories are told. He has great empathy which is what true storytelling is all about.
Chalk one up for the old songs, newly told.......Hurley is one of the great songwriters of our time. "

COLUM McCANN

National Book Award Winner 'Let The Great World Spin'


"Joe Hurley is one of the city's deepest pop singers, both in his vocal range and in the level of his soulfulness.....mesmerizing. "

THE NEW YORKER

lyrics

'SONG FOR EUROPE' LYRICS

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday

These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs .........

I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again
There's no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays

Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita

Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l'enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous
Pour nous il n'y a rien
A partager
Sauf le passé
