The Instigators are three brothers who have decided to get their music " in the air " through the world wide web. We have completed 6 CD's. Our first called " Through space and time " has the classic "Time Traveller " The second CD called " The revolutions here " confirms the bands homage to the Thunderclap Newman song " Something in the air ". The third CD " Our gods are gone " from which " Old Man " is taken sees the band explore their Celtic roots. " Swimming with sharks " has been acclaimed as " Floydish " and is our first concept album. This was followed by the " Barber of Peru " heavily influenced by Santana and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Our last album " Seventh sense " tells a tale of the Tuatha De Danaan and how they disappeared off the face of the Earth. It also was the first song picked up by Radio Seagull.The band have also featured on the excellent internet radio station www.radiogetswild.com We are currently working on two other projects, " The Children of Lir " and our next CD " Now what "

Story behind the song
This song is a lament for the Celtic Giants like Cuchulain, Finn, Oisin and others who were Immortalised throuh Celtic myths. Sadly there are no more giants.
Lyrics
Once we were giants But now we are but mortal men We would swop mortality To be giants once again. When others gazed upon us They were in awe of what they seen Our colours exuded power Our prowess, Mystery Alas then we were giants But now we are but mortal men We would swop mortality To be giants once again. Many sang our victory song As we vanquished all before And we revelled in our victories Our hearts with pride did soar Once we were giants But now we are but mortal men We would swop mortality To be giants once again. But now we are just mortal men And our worshippers have gone Many come to challenge us Our endless power done Once yes we were giants Now our reputation slain, And we would die for victory To be giants once again
