Kate Magdalena announces the release of, ‘Lake Isle of Innisfree’
Kate Magdalena is an independent singer-songwriter out of, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Nashville, TN., whose songs have been aired on country radio nationally. Most at home in folk-pop and adult contemporary, she calls her genre ‘Timely Americana’, as she is inspired to write for the particular times in which we live. Kate was selected by BWH Music (Boston) in both 2020 and 2021 as a Women to Watch: Best Female Independent Artists, and her recent album “The Water Is Wide” was awarded Best Album in Adult Contemporary genre in the 2020 W.A.M. Awards for Independent Music worldwide. …Kate has a new album coming in 2021 called CANYONLANDS, and from which she has released several songs “Canyonlands,” “Rebel Song” and now, “Lake Isle of Innisfree.”
This song has lyrics from a very famous poem by William Butler Yeats of Ireland; the original poem you might have studied in school. It’s about taking off, and going to an island off the coast of Ireland, and living there happily ever after.
Here is the poem on which the song is based:
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
