Kíla are an Irish folk music/world music group, originally formed in 1987 in the Irish language secondary school, Coláiste Eoin in County Dublin. The band’s first gig was upstairs in the Baggott Inn, Dublin, a gig that was attended by three people. The original lineup for the band was Eoin Dillon (uilleann pipes), Colm Mac Con Iomaire (fiddle), Rossa Ó Snodaigh (whistle, bones), Rónán Ó Snodaigh (bodhrán), Karl Odlum (bass), and David Odlum (guitar). Colm Ó Snodaigh, the brother of Rónán and Rossa, joined the band before the first recordings were made. Rónán, Rossa, and Colm Ó Snodaigh are sons of publisher Pádraig Ó Snodaigh and artist Cliodna Cussen and are brothers of Irish TD, Aengus Ó Snodaigh.

In 1991, Colm Mac Con Iomaire and Dave Odlum left Kíla to join The Frames, an Irish rock band. In the same year, Dee Armstrong and Eoin O’Brien joined the band as replacements. Dave Reidy also joined as a lead guitarist, though he emigrated to San Francisco a year later. Karl was then replaced by Ed Kelly on bass who emigrated to Scotland a little over a year after the recording Mind the Gap in 1994. Eoin O’Brien was replaced by Lance Hogan. Laurence O Keefe filled in temporarily on bass until Brian Hogan assumed that position prior to recording Tóg É Go Bog É.

I was trapped in a place that is ruled by the traffic
I was trapped in a place where you would believe in it
I was trapped in a place that is filled with the traffic
Don't know how, but I was always going to escape

I am going to go to where the roads have no pavements
I am traveling back and forth on the breast of the world
I am arriving to the heritage within which I was reared
Don't know how, but for sure, I'll get there

So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
I'll see you soon
So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
I'll see you soon

I am liberating the wings that are idle in my mind
I am looking for the sight that carries the light
I am looking for rest and peace for my head and heart
It matters not how but that I get there

Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, don't fight yourself
Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, dig deep within

Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, don't fight yourself
Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, it'll come when it comes

I am looking for a place where the sea meets the sky
I am looking for the well of fire from which our lives are lit
I want to nurture growth of expansion in this life
And encourage reasons for celebration around me

Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, don't fight yourself
Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, dig deep within

Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, it'll come when it comes
Take it easy, steady on there now
Take it easy, let the light into your life

Take it easy, steady on there now...
