Only nearest 42 galaxies? That's only half of the local group. I guess we need to hitch-hike to the outlaying galaxies beyond the Andromeda Galaxy to find your fabled radio station. Let's go and know where your towel is.

7 to 8 to 9 all within the first time listening this. It gave me goosebumps.

Mary Mclaughlin is a singer/songwriter/teacher who is steeped in the
Ulster Gaelic song tradition of her native Ireland where she was born
and raised.

Mary records, performs and teaches workshops in
singing skills, performance technique and Gaelic song and culture. She
has toured extensively throughout North America, teaching and performing
at Celtic/Irish camps.

It's a I-VI-IV-V progression, standard doo-wop stuff.

From Google Translate:
[Irish]
Cry,
Cry,
The cry of the sea...

Listen to the wind
She is crying
Listen up

Amen...
Requiem...

[Latin]
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord...
Requiem...

Nice to have in the back-ground when cresting the top of whatever hill you're on and staring into the mist-draped landscape beneath you. Or maybe that's just me... 😆
