A thought

Celtic Music is weird. Half of it's basically "LIFE FUCKING ROCKS! LET'S GO DRINK!" and half of it's basically "EVERYBODY WE KNOW DIED IN TRAGIC WAYS! LET'S GO DRINK!" and you can't tell which is which from the tunes, because some of the first sound really morose, and some of the second are some of the most upbeat music ever.

Thus, weird.

Like I said before, they're the same thing anyway.

Celtic music kicks arse!

The Great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men God made mad
For all their wars are merry
And all their songs are sad

I hear Zydeco music is the same way. Peppy melodies with lyrics about being depressed after the death of a loved one.
