Since this is an instrumental version, I would like to call your attention to the lyrics of "A Stor Mo Chroi," taken from here.
( I'm not crying, you're crying )
In all my future AUs, Ronan remains at the Barns while the others go to college and travel the world. I think Blue Lily, Lily Blue set him up as the nurturing type (let me cry about Matthew some more), and we already know he's the most spiritual brother, the most idealistic brother, the brother most tied to family and identity and home. I don't know if Maggie intended the song to be interpreted in the context of the lyrics, but now I need Ronan begging Declan to come back home and be a family again.
You could also notice that this is a love song to an emigrant, and it could easily be directed at Niall Lynch, who left his home country to be rich and dashing in America, but still made his kids take Irish music lessons and gave them Irish names and surrounded them in the culture he left behind. If Ronan grew up with his father's yearning for his lost home country, that could have built up Ronan's sense of home and the importance of keeping your family together.
