The story behind the song

"Tir Na Noir" paints a picture of longing for a mythical, perhaps spiritual, land that lies beyond the horizon, calling you to return. The song evokes a sense of escape from the "black November" and the crashing sea, a desire for a place where everything you touch remains. It's a journey into a world of imagination and deep connection, a theme that often runs through the work of the Norwegian folk-rock band Vamp, known for their blend of traditional folk music and rock, and for setting the words of Norwegian poets to music. Playing it feels like stepping into a dream, a gentle invitation to a hidden, perfect world.
