Guns Over Galway – A Dark Irish Folkrock War Ballad

Stone & Shamrock – Guns Over Galway | Official Lyric Video

Description:
Guns Over Galway is a dark folkrock war song set in the early hours of occupation. As dawn breaks over the streets of Galway, silence hangs heavier than smoke. This song tells the story of ordinary men caught between duty and survival — of streets turned hostile, homes turned into witnesses, and choices made without glory.

Driven by a pounding rhythm, a rough Irish lead vocal and a resolute men’s choir, Guns Over Galway doesn’t celebrate victory. It remembers the cost. The guns may fall silent, but the streets never forget who walked them last.

This lyric video follows the tense stillness before violence — shuttered windows, marching boots, shadows on stone walls — capturing the moment when history shifts and lives are changed forever.

The Studio Insight:
This track was built around weight and restraint. Guitars stay low and steady, drums move like a slow march, and the choir rises not in triumph but in unity. The lead vocal is intentionally raw and cracked — human, imperfect, and shaped by grief rather than heroism.
Modern tools were used quietly in the background to help shape atmosphere and structure, always in service of storytelling, never replacing it.
