Composed by Jerry Holland. This is an interesting, if not lengthy, tune. I'm not quite sure if I got the ending right, just listen to Solas for clarification. ;)

A clip of the mighty Jerry playing this tune a couple of weeks before he passed away. Great man, great talent, great spirit, great loss.
