Lisa Lambe started out in the performing arts at the age of three, and graduated with a Bachelor of Acting Studies from Trinity College Dublin.[1] She has starred in numerous title roles in theatrical productions throughout Ireland, Europe and the UK. She has been a featured soloist with Ireland’s RTE Concert Orchestra, and was a soloist on Ireland’s popular TV program The Late Late Show, leading to collaborations with RTE affiliated musicians Shay Healy and Frank McNamara.
After Celtic Woman's Songs from the Heart tour, in November 2010, Lynn Hilary announced that she was leaving the group to return to Ireland. It was later announced that Lisa Lambe will be joining the group as part of the 2011 tour lineup. On the official Celtic Woman website, she said that she was "delighted to be joining Celtic Woman! It is a privilege to be part of this amazing show and I am looking forward to it being an incredible experience."
From November 2022- 14th January 2023, Lisa has performed at the National Theatre, London in the new musical; 'Hex'. She plays the fairy in a unique musical based on 'Sleeping Beauty'. The story is based on the original fairy tale and continues past the prince waking up Rose. It is quirky, original and fabulous. Lisa's portrayal of fairy was the best, gave her character extra charm with her Irish qualities.
Since You Went Away
Lisa Lambe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like to me the Sun has lost its light,
Seems like to me there's nothing going right,
Since you went away.
Seems like to me the sky ain't half so blue,
Seems like to me everything was you,
Seems like to me I don't know what to do,
Everything is wrong,
The night is twice as long,
And the bird's forgot his song,
Everything is wrong,
The night is twice as long,
And the bird's forgot his song,
Forgot his song
Seems like to me I just can't help but sigh,
Seems like to me my throat keeps getting dry,
Seems like to me a tear stays in my eye,
Since you went away.
Since you went away.
Since you went away.
The lyrics of Lisa Lambe's song "Since You Went Away" tell a story of the overwhelming sadness and emptiness that comes with losing someone dear. The first stanza sets a dreary mood with the lines "Seems like to me the stars don't shine so bright," "Seems like to me the Sun has lost its light," and "Seems like to me there's nothing going right." The singer is saying that everything has lost its former beauty and luster since this person left.
The second stanza continues with this theme, as the singer sings "Seems like to me the sky ain't half so blue," and "Seems like to me everything was you." This last line shows that the singer's world revolved around this person, and without them, they feel lost and without direction. In the chorus, the singer repeats the phrase "Everything is wrong" twice, echoing the overwhelming feelings of disappointment and negativity that have taken over their world. The line "The night is twice as long, and the bird's forgot his song," suggests that time has slowed down and everything has become duller and less vibrant.
The third stanza takes a more emotional turn, as the singer reveals their own internal struggles since this person's departure. They say that they keep sighing, their throat is dry and there is a tear in their eye. The repetition of "Since you went away" at the end of each stanza shows that the singer cannot escape the grief that they are experiencing. The song as a whole is a lament for the person who has left, and a testament to the overwhelming weight of sadness that comes with losing someone.

Even nature seems out of sorts, with the birds not singing their usual tunes, as if they too are affected by the loss and emptiness that I feel.

Even the birds seem to have lost their voice and their unusual behavior is unnerving, a potent metaphor for a world that has lost its chief source of beauty and harmony.

Since you went away.
All these things that seem off and incomplete are a direct result of the fact that you are no longer with me, and every day that passes is a painful reminder of how much I miss you.
