New to Youtube, how the feck do you do an advanced search on Youtube the way you can do one on the normal internet.
I lost interest in technology when I got my post-graduate from University about 5 years ago. Jaz why should I learn anymore, stop invention & inovation now, its scarey, I used like it now it annoys me.
Im looking for the full & correct version of the Wests Awake so I can learn it in tune (to the best of my ability).

Why, do you think you might need it in September? Mayo optimism!
Well I usually have plenty of Saturday & Sunday nights singing the "Green & Red" all Summer long into September so I thought I might vary it. ;)
The West's Awake (Thomas Davis)
When all beside a vigil keep
The West's asleep, the West's asleep
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That Connacht lies in slumber deep
There lake and plain smile fair and free
'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry
Sing, Oh! let man learn liberty
From crashing winds and lashing sea
That chainless wave and lovely land
Freedom and nationhood demand
Be sure the great God never planned
For slumb'ring slaves a home so grand
And long a brave and haughty race
Honoured and sentinelled the place
Sing, Oh! not even their sons' disgrace
Can quite destroy their glory's trace
For often, in O'Connor's van
To triumph dashed each Connacht clan
And fleet as deer the Normans ran
Thro' Corrsliabh's Pass and Ardrahan
And later times saw deeds as brave
For glory guards Clanricard's grave
Sing, Oh! they died their land to save
At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave
And if, when all a vigil keep
The West's asleep! the West's asleep!
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That Connacht lies in slumber deep
But, hark! a voice like thunder spake
The West's awake! the West's awake!
Sing, Oh! Hurrah! let England quake
We'll watch till death for Erin's sake
Well there is this one. Its a version of Jimmy Murray singing the last verse of the West awake. Don't know if you can stand listening to a Rossie sing it though....

Also this one of Luke Kelly. But he is more speaking the words then singing them for some reason. Must have had a sore throat that day ;)
