Three Sails
2014
World - Celtic
On Three Sails, The Kissers reach back to the roots of the music that first inspired them, exploring the more nuanced and delicate elements of trad Irish, deftly blended with a measure of the sturdy Celtic rock the band was built upon. Using traditional acoustic instruments like the uilleann pipes and the bodhrán (Irish drum) along with unusual tunings and odd time signatures, the band has reimagined itself while staying true to its essence. Standards like Recruiting Sergeant, Blackleg Miner, and Paddy's Lament rest comfortably alongside fresh originals. For Foggy Dew, Monica Martin of PHOX guests on vocals, transforming a traditional tune into a work of breathtaking beauty and emotion. Three Sails is the sound of a skilled veteran band whose deep love for the music and relentless search for fresh musical inspiration have sparked a creative renaissance.

Lyrics
She seems to know
She often really knows
In laughter and in sadness
And in everything je ne sais quoi
She hears this man
Saying everything backwards
Like weakness is a strength
Through hate comes love now that's je ne sais quoi
To the wind three sheets and all
All the way to Montreal
North to Montreal
Il contredit
He lives two lives at once
When alone he sees the universe
With others it's je ne sais quoi
To the wind three sheets and all
All the way to Montreal
North to Montreal
Snow and rain and hail will fall
All the way to Montreal
North to Montreal
He says impenetrable
Means knock down all the walls
Surrender means you win
Through death comes life c'mon je ne sais quoi
She seems to know
She always seems to know
In laughter and in sadness
And every time he says...je ne sais quoi
To the wind three sheets and all
All the way to Montreal
North to Montreal
Snow and rain and hail will fall
All the way to Montreal
North to Montreal
