We Called The Album 'amarantine' To Mean

The Moon Upon The Ocean Is Swept Around In Motion But Without Ever Knowing The Reason For Its Flowing In Motion On The Ocean The Moon Still Keeps On Moving The Waves Still Keep On Waving And I Still Keep On Going

It's Very Homely, This Castle. It Doesn't Have Huge Ballrooms. I Didn't Want A Cold, Cavernous Place.

I Enjoyed The Two Years I Was With Clannad. I Enjoyed Touring. We Toured A Lot In Europe.

We Called The Album 'amarantine' To Mean Everlasting. Poets Use The Word To Describe An Everlasting Flower And I Loved The Image Of That.

The Ocean Is A Central Image. It Is The Symbolism Of A Great Journey.
