Something to Believe In
Composed By Ciaran Brennan


AMG REVIEW: Another of Clannad vocalist Maire Brennan's rare duets, "Something to Believe In," from the band's Sirius LP, found her paired with pianist Bruce Hornsby, appearing here without his Range. An overly obvious stab at commercial balladeering, Clannad forsook its haunting, traditional style, supplying instead its take on rock & roll. Featuring another outstanding, if differently intentioned, vocal performance from Brennan, as well as Hornsby's distinctive piano and a sinfully good guitar break from Philip Donnelly, the song finds the group slightly out of its element and delving into somewhat stagnant sonic territory. This song becomes important, however, precisely because it is so out of kilter with the rest of the band's oeuvre. Clannad reached into commercial territory and, while it wasn't rewarded with a hit, it certainly proved it could stretch its wings with ease and confidence. - Amy Hanson
