'Silhouette' was written in 2022. It started with that jerky rhythm we hear in the intro/verse and grew from there. The song discusses the not knowing who you are because of a particular trauma in your life. Then being blessed to find a loved one who can save you from yourself.

Using it as an excuse
You might call it self abuse
Fighting a fight in my head
Thinking back shudder with dread

I didn't know who I was yet
I just became a silhouette
A shadow on a wall a chameleon
A prop a stay don't let me fall
If I fall will I stall 
Or stay in your heart 
Oh

Laying in the undergrowth
Waiting to discover the truth
Scratching the surface to find
If I'm raw she never know what's behind

I didn't know who I was yet
I just became a silhouette
A shadow on a wall a chameleon
A prop a stay don't let me fall
If I fall will I stall 
Or stay in your heart 
Stay in your heart 

Continue to tear 
But eventually rip
Continue to tear 
But eventually rip
Continue to tear 
But eventually rip
Continue to tear 
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart

A shadow on a wall a chameleon
A prop a stay don't let me fall
If I fall will I stall 
Or stay in your heart 
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay in your heart
Stay

Silhouette

"The idea for 'Friends Like These' came about from a conversation with my 15 yr old - ‘You can't just go up to people, say hey, and make friends. It's much more complex due to social media status and cliques’. I feel this sentiment is echoed in similar challenges and anxieties around forming new friendships as you go through life". The song's springy backbone and soaring, ear-catching choruses will get any listener in a hyped mood for any day or night.

Get in lane
Find your pack Get in lane Watch your back
You know I'm looking to infiltrate you
I know to get ready to brace for impact A simple hello just won't cut the mustard So many factors now
Attire the same Reaching out Attire the same Need extra clout
You know I'm looking to infiltrate you
I know to get ready to brace for impact
A simple hello just won't cut the mustard
So many factors now, factors now, factors na na na na na na na na now
You know I'm looking to infiltrate you
I know to get ready to brace for impact A simple hello just won't cut the mustard So many factors now
You know I'm looking to infiltrate you
I know to get ready to brace for impact
A simple hello just won't cut the mustard
So many factors now, factors now, factors na na na na na na na na now

No Connection

When They're Gone

Wayside was recorded in Hellfire Studios, Dublin, Ireland. The band tracked live, just like it should be done. Diarmuid says of the Wayside lyrics - "My Da always said he had gotten more hardship than me growing up. I reckon his Da said the same and now I'm saying the same to my son. There is one thing however that has been consistent with men through time and that's the inability to talk about their feelings. Us men need to speak up when we need help, reach out to somebody, anybody, just reach out."
