Say you stayed home Alone with the flu Find out from friends That wasn’t true
Go out at night With your headphones on again And walk through The Manhattan valleys of the dead
Didn’t want to be your ghost Didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost…
~ The National
Staying with the Irish Faerie theme, this is my interpretation of the Banshee. A banshee is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or “mounds” that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde in Old Irish.

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you That I’m tired of Castles in the Air I’ve got a dream I want the world to share an’ castle walls Just leave me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky A dream come true, I’ll live there ‘til I die I’m asking you, to say my last goodbye The love we knew, ain’t worth another try…

The Moat, Donaghadee. Built in 1818 to house dynamite being used to blast out a new seabed for the newly planned harbour, this miniature castle was built on the site of a Norman motte & bailey. It has formed a part of the Donaghadee skyline ever since. Drawn from a photo I had taken last summer and coloured using Krita. #artistsoninstagram #illustrateyourworld #hash_talent #igart #share_sketches #Irish #Ulster #DiscoverNI #purenorthernireland #loves_ireland #ExploreNI #digitalart #krita #huion #illustrationartists (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKjF98Jo3z/?igshid=5g1n4b7wo9yw
