Thank you, Amelia Adler, for writing and singing this with me. 

Lyrics: 
I  thought you were a ray through clouds
I thought that sunshine sought me out
I thought we were a word in song
I thought but I knew not

I thought we were a prayer to god
I thought that god was
praying to be close to us
I thought but I knew not 

I thought that I would trust myself
And trust my gut and freeze 
And please, you'd make it easy
Please, you'd be so easy

I thought I’d move you up and shake you down 
I thought you’d turn around 
And I would make you easy,
I’d just make you easy 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

Thought we’d sit there on your couch 
And shake it out, we’d shake it out 
I thought we’d be a happy song 
I thought but I knew not 

I thought that god was real when I was young 
That god was watching us
But I got old, don’t pray no more and things they are not easy 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

Moving through the motions
Changing all the time
Following the tide 
Away from you 

Moving through the motions
Changing all the time
Going to keep my mind 
Away from you

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 
I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me 

I'd take it back now if I could
I'd take the things I said to you
You don't surprise me 
You don’t surprise me

Scarborough Five

Here's a song I wrote: 

Fifty years strapped to his chest, 
He kissed his best friend 
And then he left, 
Saying, "a proud man does things he's proud of."

He was once nineteen 
On that midnight scene
And love back then would tear your doors open.

Say, can't you see these constellations of things I've done 
Stuck to places where I've been and hung my clothes out,
Constellations of hands stretching inwards 
And feeding from the flesh I have inside.
You're already here, you might as well stay the night.

Is it really so insane to want, want something better 
Than the ceiling etcha sketching out your mind.
Baby I will take you out to an island way out on the sea.
We will have our holiday and bring our family,
Spend our nights making love out on the sand.

And I'll show you these constellations of things I've done, 
Left in places where I've been and hung my clothes out.
Constellation of hands stretching inwards 
And taking from the flesh I have inside. 
I love you baby, come on, come on, be my life.

She says, "I am racing home to check up on you baby, 
I'm worried you'll do something bad.
You keep talking about those years you'll never get back."
How'd I find a woman like you to take me on?
My mother was an awful drinker, and I'm her wayward son.
I'm so glad you called me tonight
Cos I want to call you, and
We all know what these itchy fingers wish that they could do.

I am a proud man,
I do things I'm proud of.
I am a proud man,
I do things I'm proud of.

Can't you see this constellation, all that I have become?
I am a mess of stars, and the blazing of suns.
A constellation, these hands always in me,
Taking taking never putting back.
We wait up smoking til the sky turns black.

TRACK STACK, Week 2 -  One more chance

'Unlovable' is the result of Sophie being handed a mic by Amelia Adler and being told to just make up lyrics on the spot that fit with the chords Reggie was playing. It is the first song she has ever written, and she credits Port na Blagh beach with making her wonder what it would be like if you we're stuck out on a pirate ship with a severe case of depression. Maybe that exact scenario would sound like 'Unlovable', maybe not. Either way - it's what we made. Enjoy fuckers.

Unlovable

Unlovable (Demo) feat. Sophie Ní Choimín, Ilona Adams

Written by the highly talented Amelia Adler having taken inspiration from a line from Reggie's song called "The Caveman" . After a week of creating music in Port na Blagh , "Sheephaven Studios", the trio decided to focus their efforts on one track in particular after Amelia blew the two away with the epic hook of the song.

Cold Front (Demo) feat. Amelia Adler, Sophie Ní Choimín

Written whilst in quarantine in Port na Blagh looking out to the sea after adventures abroad. The lyrics reflect the importance of appreciating the little things in life, stopping every now and then to take it all in.
Thanks to Sophie Ní Choimín for being a creative inspiration in the journey of this track.

Big Blue (Demo) feat. Sophie Ní Choimín

I'm 26, Australian, and a pianist/singer-songwriter. I'm just learning to call myself a musician. Although I am home now, I'm still in love with Ireland and all I want to do forever is sing.
