Ceol an Ghrá (The Music of Love) was Ireland’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 performed in Irish by Sandie Jones. Lyrically the song is a ballad with Jones singing about hearing the music of love wherever she is. She sings about being in Tír na nÓg the Land of the Young a mystical place in Irish Mythology allowing whoever goes there to be forever young – it may also be metonymic for Ireland herself.
