When I Saw You

Sam Stokes' debut solo album captures something indescribable - it is raw, tender, intimate moment of a soul entering its body.

As she explored her darkest demons and the brightest light within her, she decided to hit record at her home studio. This album has the rage of wildfire burning down whatever is in her way and the peace of a thousand year old monk, smiling as she learns her truth. 

It is perfectly imperfect. It is an explosion of raw, unfiltered and untethered energy.

"My entire commitment in this lifetime is to share love, light and hope through music and art so that our planet and our humanity may be the best it has ever been. I view music as a form of servitude and I hope that in every song that comes through me and every performance, I am able to give someone just a little bit more love in their life" Stokes shares.

She is honest, authentic and perhaps most importantly, she is hopeful. She commits to love again and again and again.

She believes in the highest version of herself, the highest version of humanity and the highest most beautiful planet for us to live on.

She plants the seeds of love, light and hope in her album
Common Ground.

Wolf Mother by First Aid Kit

Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Holy light over the night
Oh, keep the spirit strong
Watch it grow, child of war
Oh, keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace
Wolf-mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya
Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya
Wayward winds, a voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of war
Oh, lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace

Baby sister don’t know what to say Nobody tell her what to do
That’s just the way it’s gonna be now So you hit em where it really hurts Spoiled the milk and kicked the dirt That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
You’re always searching, but it’s a long long long way out
So take this moment cause it’s just the way it’s gonna be now right now
Like candied corn and lemonade
What sweetens the lips’ll spoil the brain That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
A fist to clench the hands you shake
If broken will and sorrow mate
That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
always searching, but it’s a long long long way out
So take this moment cause it’s just the way it’s gonna be now right now

Fallen Angel

We are pleased to present Ten Thousand Tiny Fingers, a Music Network commission by Bróna McVittie for our February 2024 Tour. Bróna wanted to create something in memoriam of all the innocent civilians killed in the Israel-Gaza conflict, particularly the children. The song is also born of her own experience of conflict growing up in a segregated society during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Speaking to Bróna about the commission, she said the song was born of her own experience of conflict growing up in a segregated society.

The track was recorded at Station House Theatre, Clifden, Co. Galway on 6 February 2024. 
Performed by Niamh Dunne, Bróna McVittie, Cormac Breatnach & Seán Óg Graham and recorded by Donnacha Moynihan.
