Cover art for Whistles The Wind lyrics by Flogging Molly

Probably half joking, at a live show in Chicago, Dave said this song is about "redheads". Every true irishman's weakspot. However, I think it can be reasonablly concluded that this song is about running into a past love intrest and the mixed emotions that ensue.

I think it's mostly about his mum and Ireland in he line "Theres an ocean between where I am and where I want to be" but I agree it's is partially about old love.
