Conor J. has conjured up a beautiful song in support of Home Sweet Home.
Conor J. O’Brien has penned a tune in support of the Home Sweet Home initiative, which entered a new chapter today with their vacating of Apollo House.
"Now that I'm strong love, I'm taking a stand/ And it's not just for me, it's for all of this land/ You can water it down, but there's nothing to douse/ 'cause you can't quench the flame of Apollo House," he intones.
Couplets like "They showed me a room, didn't know what to think/ There were holes in the walls, there was blood in the sink," suggest that it was only completed over the past 24 hours.
An appreciative Glen Hansard responds: "Beautiful song! Thank you for lending your support to the Apollo Mission."
Heartfelt and raw, it’ll hopefully heap more shame on the Minister and his under-performing associates…
For the day that's in it, a tribute to the founders and volunteers of Apollo House and @HSHIreland https://t.co/IRNjwkcI3W
