Lá (Irish for "Day"; later known as Lá Nua, Irish for "New Day") was an Irish-language daily newspaper based in Belfast. It was the first daily newspaper in Ireland to be published in Irish. Lá Nua belonged to the Belfast Media Group, and was a sister paper of The Andersonstown News.
Established in the 1980s it developed from a broadsheet format to a European tabloid size. With a print circulation of a few thousand and an active website, Lá catered for the Irish language community throughout the island and abroad. It had a range of supplements, including Arts, Education, Sport, Business and Entertainment.
It had five editors, including founders Gearóid Ó Cairealláin and Eoghan Ó Néill, Ciarán Ó Pronntaigh, Concubhar Ó Liatháin and finally Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill (Feb-Dec 2008).
In October 2008, it was announced that the newspaper would cease publication at the end of 2008. Foras na Gaeilge agreed not to further fund the paper due to its insufficient circulation and availability. The final issue was published on 19 December 2008.
Lá Nua is an album by Lúnasa. It was released in 2010, and is the band's eighth major release. The album's name means "new day" in Irish.
It is the band's first album to be released on their own record label since their debut album, Lunasa. It was recorded in the Cooley Mountains.
Earlie Hutchner of American newspaper Irish Echo ranked the album at number 2 on his list of the "Top Ten Traditional Albums of 2010".
I miss you already ain't been that long
I feel so neglected when you don't call
When you're not around I don't feel safe
It's all wrong, I'm so afraid
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you right now
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
Haunted
It scares me to feel this way I do
I'm over my head over you
The moon's so full I feel its light
Without you nothing's right
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you right now
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
Haunted
In my heart there's an empty place
In the dark I still see your face
In my dreams night and day
[Chorus:]
I wanna be wanted
Like I want you somehow
I need to be needed
I wish you could see somehow
By your love I'm haunted
