Just Human After All

Written by G.K. Gavan "The Galway Poet" for the English music hall performer Harry Clifton in the 19th century, Rocky Road to Dublin is a 9/8 slip jig. Time has changed the lyrics and has abbreviated the verses. It is now a standard for many Irish bands and performers. This is my own arrangement with percussion played on the face of the guitar.

Engineering and Mastering: John Lawrence, Nant Y Benglong

Rocky Road To Dublin

A rough mix from my recent studio session at Blue Moon Studios, near Banbury. This is Hi the Cuckoo, a song about transformation and rebirth.

'Closure' released 26th March 2020 on Fortress Sounds via AWAL.
STREAM / DOWNLOAD: https://smarturl.it/McClosure

Written by Natalie McCool & Kenzo Zurzolo
Performed by Natalie McCool
Recorded & produced by Kenzo Zurzolo at Paname, Paris, France.
Additional mix & production by Future Humans at Studio 13, London, UK
Mastered by Chris Daniels at Organised Rhyme, Brighton, UK 

"Bouncy, off kilter synths paired with driving drums & guitars to create a record that's playful yet very powerful."

Speaking on the new track, Natalie shared: 

“Have you ever wanted to get over someone so much that you figuratively bury them? 'Closure' is the journey you take to finally slamming the door on that person. It's a high energy middle finger to your once beloved.  What I imagine people doing when they listen to this song is bouncing around singing the chorus at the top of their lungs - I wanted to create something that is anthemic but also full of humour.  Because sometimes, crying and laughing are not so different from one another. 

When you are suffering from loss & grief from a bond that's been broken, the emotions you feel are very complex and numerous, the facets of a break up are many - like a rainbow.  This idea interests me because rainbows are always seen as positive, and I believe going through that range of feeling is also positive because it's a necessary process FOR closure.  

So I brought this rainbow idea, which is also a big image in the song's chorus, to all of the creative ideas for the single campaign too – the idea of reflection, refraction and spectrum – what is necessary to achieve closure.”

Making her first steps into music when she won a national song writing competition judged by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Natalie McCool has excelled. 

Releasing her album ‘The Great Unknown’ in 2016, it has made tastemakers across the board fans of her exceptional art, with notable supports with Aurora & Jamie Lawson, & acclaim from The Sunday Times, Q, Pigeons & Planes & Wonderland as well as BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens & Alice Levine.

Fully wrapped up, her forthcoming album is a fine collection of songs which channel her raw, inimitable writing style. Partly co-written with The Wombats' Daniel Haggis, they capture and crystallize her memories from both childhood and adulthood, weaving deeply intimate stories that channel life's most vital thoughts and feelings like love, jealousy and loss into a skewed mixture of lilting yet gloriously catchy pop songs.

Lyrics
I'm giving up your ghost, gonna let you go
Gonna break the chain, give myself a break
Time to say goodbye, bury you alive	
I've got 6 feet going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade oh I'm only human

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

I, I got some way to go, I know it's a joke
Tryna break these chains, I've give myself away
Lucky you're not here to lay it all on me dear			
Cos I've been 6 months going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade let's call it delusion

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

All that I want is closure, closure, closure
All that I want is closure, closure, closure

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure
And all the shit that's meant to go away seems like it's here to stay
All that I want is closure, closure

Closure

Foreign Fields  

Word is you've gone missing, another sketchy plan
Clothes that you were wearing, cash you had on hand
You've left behind a lover to try and understand  
Why you'd trade love for a foreign land.

Chorus 
Now you're out walking in foreign fields
Forsaking loyal lovers with missionary zeal  
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You like the anonymity of foreign fields
Foreign eyes aren't trained to see the sins that you conceal
You're drawn to other wanderers and how they make you feel
When you lay down in your foreign fields

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching the horizon with missionary zeal 
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You're somewhere in Antalya now, penniless again
The truth is out about you, and yet you still pretend
To hold all of the high cards when all that's in your hand
Is a heartache from a foreign land

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching for the answers with missionary zeal 
But it's your guardian angel missing now   and the vacancy reveals	
Just a foreigner in foreign fields
Your just a foreigner in foreign fields

Latin was my first love, and music is my second. I've utterly fallen for those of the soulful, creative, inspiring and inciting kind. The one composed with heart and soul, the one performed with passion and aplomb. Searching for a way to express my love for and enthusiasm about music, I've found twitter is a decent and effective place to do so, yet given my wordy nature 140 characters one day simply didn't suffice to promote the music I enjoy anymore. This is how my music blog - carpe carmina - came into being (a heartfelt thank-you goes out to my favourite UK band High/Low for the encouragement to start writing about music, to my all time favourite band for so many years by now, Midnight Hour, for making me realize my affection for music and my wish to help those artists in whose talent I believe in, and to all those people who read my blog, who recommend and submit music for it). Find me under @NessiHolt on twitter and make sure to listen to @RadioKC to catch a playlist of mine each tuesday at 10pm (UK). Listen to Radio Kaos Caribou, Dr. Bones music show and Dave Monk's BBC Introducing Merseyside in general. It's worth it, it's where I - among others - find the music I eventually embossom.
