Clifden
Clifden (Irish: An Clochán, meaning "stepping stones") is a town on the coast of County Galway, Ireland and being Connemara's largest town, it is often referred to as "the Capital of Connemara". It is located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay. The town is linked to Galway city by the N59 and is a popular tourist destination for those touring Connemara.
History
19th century
The town was founded at the start of the 19th century by John D'Arcy (1785–1839) who lived in Clifden Castle (built around 1818, now a ruin) west of Clifden. He had inherited the estate in 1804, when it was mostly inhabited by fishermen and farmers. The idea of establishing a town on the coast was first voiced by him in 1812. Bad communications and a lack of private capital prevented fast progress until the 1820s, when the potato crop failed in 1821-22 and D'Arcy petitioned the government in Dublin for assistance. The engineer Alexander Nimmo was sent to the area in 1822. He constructed a quay at Clifden (finished in 1831), and started a road to Galway. With these improvements to its infrastructure, the town began to grow.

Your Hands Smell Like A Bad Attitude
by: CliftonDid you see her face?
It's not a war.
Or could you taste the tears?
There's so much more.
Or maybe you smelt the fear.
Can you show me how to forgive and let go?
We felt it smash her cheek.
It kissed us through the walls.
Splinters haunting my memory.
Better off alone.
She did it all for you.
So how could you forget,
When you gave us so much to remember?
She did it all for you.
Shatter my dreams for me.
She did everything for you.
Did you see her face?
Or could you taste the tears?
There's so much more.
He waits for me on 5th east.
We can sleep on the floor.
Tried not to crush the leaves,
Like we did the day before.
Two hands, four paws.
Two hands, four paws.
