(HD 720p) The isle of Innisfree, Theme From "The Quiet Man"

Farrelly's "Isle of Innisfree" is a beautiful haunting melody by Irish Composer and Songwriter Dick Farrelly (1916 - 1990). The melody and lyrics express the longing of an Irish emigrant for his native land. It was the main theme of the film "The Quiet Man". It became a worldwide hit for Bing Crosby in 1952 and continues to enrich the repertoires of many artists; it endures in the hearts of many as one of the great songs of Ireland. The 1952 movie "The Quiet Man" was set in 1920s Ireland. Sean Thornton (John Wayne), an Irish-born American from Pittsburgh, returns to Ireland to reclaim his family's farm in Innisfree. He meets and falls in love with the fiery spinster Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara). Isle Of Inisfree I've met some folks Who say that I'm a dreamer And I've no doubt There's truth in what they say But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away And precious things Are dreams unto an exile They take him o'er The land across the sea Especially when it happens he's an exile From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree And when the moonlight Peeps across the rooftops Of this great city
