The Irish contemporary folk supergroup released "The Pilgrim's Song" as the opening track of their second album, 2 (2016). The song's lyrics are a composite of two poems by the celebrated 20th-century Irish-language poet Seán Ó Ríordáin (1916–1977): "Oilithreacht Fám Anam" ( A Pilgrimage of My Soul ) and "A Sheanfhilí, Múinídh Dom Glao" ( Old Poets, Teach me the Call ).
