Alternative Country

An underdogs tale, Abigail is a metaphor, the voice inside your head, that reminds you how great you are, when you're consumed by self doubt.

recorded at home on my 8 track during isolation.

lyrics

boy when you are down and low
boy don't let those feelings grow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail

when your passions overflow
boy don't let those old seeds sow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail

She'll be there in the morning
she'll be there in the evening
she'll be there and she's wearing bells
just you wait and see x2

boy if you're feeling weak and slow
like you've lost your ebb and flow
don't let the big kids steal the show

boy when you are down and low
boy don't let those feelings grow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail
She'll be there and without fail
my Abigail
my Abigail


My Abigail

A kinda upbeat song I wrote, thanks for listening 💜

sense of time (look inside)

This is the story of Seagrave Tiller Hook and ladder 5211 who served with the Glencove Volunteers fire fighters  in Glencove, Long Island, new York from 1987 until 2011. when she finished service she was  bought by an Irish man called Liam Moore who has a passion for Fire Brigade and has quite a collection. He transported her from America to Ireland and this song tells the true story, or maybe a part of the true of her travels from Glencove and her arrival here in Dublin. she is 56 foot long, 30tonne and has a 100f foot ladder, driven by a V8 engine and it was my pleasure to ride in her for a few hours with Liam.  Liam brings her to charity events and exhibitions to show her off and spend most of his time underneath or on top working on her. here is a youtube link to her arriving in Ireland, we will be putting a  youtube video for the song together in due course . 

Written sung and produced by: Johnny Mc Farlane

Verse 1 
The story starts in  Glen Cove, long Island USA 
Ladder  5211 starts up  for her last day 
All the boys from the volunteers 
Could have filled up the water tanks with tears,  
They didn’t want to see her go away 
But they knew she had done her stint and that she couldn’t stay 
So they gave her a big send off and sent her on here way 
flashing lights and sirens blazing 
they all said their good bye that night
from the Station to the docks there wasn’t one dry eye in sight 

Chorus 
Oh Liam Moore’s fire Brigade is the best you’ve ever seen 
She’s 50 foot from front to back and he keeps her very clean 
She came all the way from Glen Cove City in the USA 
Now she’s parked in Liam Mores driveway and she’s here to stay 
 
                                Verse 2                                     
She was loaded up on a ship bound for Dublin IreLand 
Where Liam moore agus Laim Beag had everything in hand 
They couldn’t  hold in the  excitement 
when the ship docked at Dublin Keys 
And when the dockers took her off the ship they  both got weak at the knees

They drove her home via  pears street past Tara street fire station 
Where all the boys from the fire brigade  gave her a standing ovation 
They drive up O Connell street 
and past the GPO  
With the sirens on and flashing Lights it’s the only way to go . 

Chorus 
                             Verse 3 
All the neighbour on the road  were excited to see her arrive 
Liam knocked down half the house trying to get her in the drive 
And Annies from number 10  
Said Liam lock hard try that again 
He’s never going to get her in the drive 

Liam Moore ahus Liam beag  Took turns on the steering wheel 
And between the shouts and curing the grinding of the steel 
They eventually inched that big yoke in 
To a very small  tight space 
And when they turned the engine off see  the grin on Liam moors face

Chorus and change 
Well Liam loves this engine with all his heart 
and love nor money wouldn’t pull the 2 of them to part 
His heart his soul his everything has gone into this truck
Its cost him quite a lot of Do but he doesn’t give a Fiddlers

When's It Gonna Happen

Elliana's "Mirrors" takes you through the gruelling process of a breakup; the anger, confusion, and realization. Sometimes the best thing to do is sing it out when it feels like you're getting rid of gasoline with a flame.

Mirrors

FLYING IN CIRCLES
(DWS - 2022)

High above the tethered ground
with the birds and the planes
It’s so easy not that hard
I’d stay all day and stay all night  
and find myself 
flying in circles

Storm clouds come
and try to scare me away
But to me its all child’s play 
Rain clouds go away 
come again another day
for now I’m
flying in circles

Soaring high above the sea
all the fish look up at me
I’ll never tumble to the sea 
no matter what they think they see
I’ll always be
flying in circles 

Some keep one foot on the ground
but not me - I can’t touch down
I won’ t drown in floods or  get wet when it rains
I’ll just be up here
flying in circles
