I can just smell the potatoes wisp of the blissful lyrics of good ol Gaelic folk music. This song makes me proud of my heritage. I only have one issue- the key of the piece is E minor, G major's relative minor which is why it looks this way from the key signature.
They first chord from the synth is an Em with added 2nd and 4th making it dissonant and throughout the piece the chord sequence starts with Em then G and repeats. Also, the structure of the piece contains 8 verses, an intro, break, instrumental and outro. Unfortunately it really isn't simple to sum up. I wrote these 3 years ago and i can no longer remember anything about the pieces - sorry! Though I do recall that for the essay you only need two points from each subheading so the information in this article should be enough!
