[edit] Content

The album came out some three years after former co-bandleader, Frankie Kennedy, had died from cancer. This was the husband of lead singer Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh. Some of the tracks appear to be a heart-breaking elegy for Frankie, notably the climaxes of the album, "Time Has Passed". Súil Ghorm is the first track and seems also to refer to the times Mairéad spent with Frankie.
