I-DEAS (Integrated Design and Engineering Analysis Software)
Deas' maternal grandfather was the 18th century American politician, Ralph Izard of South Carolina.
After a couple of years of touring, Deas Vail signed to Brave New World Records (founded by producer Mark Lee Townsend) in 2005.
An Irish language version of the song, entitled "Folamh go Deas" (a literal translation), was also performed by Irish band Na Magairlí in 1981.
