The poet Michael Longley has died at the grand age of 85. He was one of the greatest lyrical poets writing in the English language. I feel the loss already of his necessary voice.

These songs are the most succinct, most barbed and out-there lyrics I’ve written yet.
I don’t have a favourite, each is like its own short story on vanity, greed, hate, mortality and hope.
I hope people hear them and are moved, reassured or shaken by them.
