It is the time of year for sentimentality and Jim Byrne is the man to serve it up between slices of wholemeal bread. “For We Are Born” is, however, a song rather darker than you might expect with the underlying message more akin to Leonard Cohen than Bing Crosby. No doubt about it though, Val Doonican would have appreciated the irony in that and taken this song as his own. The song is available for download from Bandcamp.
