Bill Whelan, (born 22 May 1950 in Limerick, Ireland) is an Irish composer and musician. He is best known for composing a piece for the interval of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. The result, Riverdance, was a seven-minute display of traditional Irish dancing that became a full-length stage production and spawned a worldwide craze for Irish dancing and celtic music. It was released as a single in the UK in 1994, credited to "Bill Whelan and Anúna featuring the RTÉ Concert Orchestra". It reached number 9 and stayed in the charts for 16 weeks. The album of the same title reached number 31 in the album charts in 1995. more »

Hear my cry, 
In my hungering search for you, 
Taste my breath on the wind, 
See the sky as it mirrors my colors, 
Hints and whispers begin. 

I am living to nourish you, cherish you, 
I am pulsing the blood in your veins, 
Feel the magic and power of surrender, 
To life.

Every finger is touching and searching, 
Until your secrets come out, 
In the dance, as it endlessly circles, 
I linger close to your mouth. 

I am living to nourish you, cherish you, 
I am pulsing the blood in your veins, 
Feel the magic and power of surrender, 
To life.
