St. Patrick's Day: Keep Your Spirit Alive!

I listening to some stuff I haven't listened to in a while and it's totally fitting! Dropkick Murphy's on St. Patrick's Day = PERFECT! Irish punk with a tinge of of hope, full of energy and just enough attitude to lift your day.

I wasn't into the Irish punk scene much until about a year ago. Even now, I am not completely versed in it, but do enjoy it. I have my iTunes on random today and it hit Your Spirit's Alive by Dropkick Murphys. Awesome song! Brought a huge smile to my face!

Check Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, another great Irish punk band, out at the links below. Then go get their albums!

Interesting side note, Dave King the singer/leader of Flogging Molly, was actually the singer in many semi-prominent 80's metal bands before creating Flogging Molly. He was in Fastway with guitarist Fast Eddie Clark and then recruited as singer for Katmandu. Also great bands! Check them out!

You can add Your Spirit's Alive and Sunshine Highway from Dropkick Murphys album The Warrior's Code to my inspirational song list.

"We are the ones who will never be broken,
We are the ones who survive,
This is the sound that brings us together,
You are the one by our side.

And through it all, the spirit's alive!
And through it all, your spirit's alive!"
