On the side note of everything Wise, just letting you know Flogging Molly doesn't use bagpipes thats Dropkick Murphy's.

I knew that. I'm not sure which band I like better, but I do tend to confuse them. Neither makes me want to buy one of their CDs.

and as for your new song...Voice crack right at the end? x..x lol.

Yes, and quite intentional, a metaphor for the cure.

b1 b2-b4 b5-b7 b8 (B=beat)

I think I get what you're saying. The "nant" is a hard sound, so separating it a bit from the next word could serve it well, but I think 8 beats (if I'm reading that right) is a bit much.
