about

I was asked fashion designer and artist Sara O'Neill to write a song for her latest creation 'Millie'. I was completely enamoured with the character and wrote this song as a tribute to all the workers, especially the woman of Ireland and Belfast.

I was delighted to play with an amazing group of musicians who brought so much to the track.

Sara writes about Mille

"Once upon a time in a town called Belfast there lived a wee dreamer. Her name was Millie. Like many women in this town, Millie worked in the linen mills. Now, this is no fairytale. Work in the mills was tough & wasn’t well paid but the work(wo)manship.. well it was incredible. The skill & talent of these women (because it was mostly women employed in this industry) & the quality of the product meant that Irish linen was prized throughout the world.. worn by royalty, supplied to The Ritz & Titanic and sold in luxury department stores from London to New York. Through the textile industry Belfast boomed & prospered. "

lyrics

The Dreamers Blues


She can’t can’t get close enough to touch
She’s trying to break into the sun

She hears the sailors strange tongue
and it drives her imagination

It must not be time for her
She’ll just dream
She’ll wear her red shoes to the silver screen
And dream of things that could’ve been

She’ll break into the sun


Shes got thimbles full of dreams
Hid all over town

To cut like scissors through the cream
Just as she was shown

It must not be time for her
She’ll just dream
She’ll wear her red shoes to the silver screen
And dream of things that could’ve been

She’ll break into the sun


She’ll wear her red shoes to the silver screen
And dream of what is going to be

Her time is coming soon
Now she's swinging on the moon

Walk down Belfast avenues
Millie sings her dreamer blues

When she breaks into the sun
