1. Candlelight and Wine – Ryan’s Fancy

In this song, Canadian folk legends, Ryan's Fancy, feature a set of lyrics penned and sung by band-member, Dermot O'Reilly. He brings his smoky Irish lilt to a wonderful recording about longing, relief and love. You imagine the couple he sings about has that great, but delayed romance of passion and desire.
