This song is about the constant pursuit of perfection and the heavy price we make ourselves pay when we fail.

Golden Boy

Have You Been Told?

St. Agnes

Summertime will leave you
Looking out on the past
Wintertime will find you
When you’re down, looking up

Fears in my soul ignite
You and I can be here
In my only other part

Autumn fruit
Will bleed out in a stormy night
Springtime often stutters for a while
At the back of your mind
Then it’s gone
Then it’s gone
Gone

I’m blue as the sea
As the stars
As ice
Fears in my soul ignite you
But I'll have you here
In my only other part
Until I die

Forgive me
You don’t deserve this

Forgive me
You don’t deserve this
I won’t forget my mother’s learnings
I’ll keep you proud now I’m alone
Forgive me
If I take a moment

Forgive me

Dear Heart

The Trees Are Talking

Grief is like a distant friend now who just pops by unannounced wanting to stay for a while. It’s weirdly enjoyable to catch up. I feel closer to Mum in those moments. But if this distant friend has taught me anything, it’s that love renders time meaningless. It doesn’t really amount to anything when you love someone. How I feel for Mum, and how I know she feels for me - will be the same today as it will the day I die. And even the day after I die, that love’ll still exist. Kinda cool really. Think of all the crazy love we’re existing in right now from people who’ve already passed. There’s so much of it everywhere. Hard to feel at times like this but it surrounds us. We just need to quieten ourselves to feel it. That distant friend came over last week, so we wrote this song together x

New Indie Folk Update - February 12, 2021

"Solemn, bittersweet and beautiful" - Atwood Magazine

Fergus writes songs according to his mood, often choosing to embrace the melancholy, and through it finding a place of healing, beauty, and serenity. His formative years were spent singing and touring professionally with choirs, and playing ‘cello with orchestras. When this period of his life - a half, up to that point - came to an end he found himself burnt out, without a sense of identity. Seeking self-discovery, he rebelled. After a time adrift, his love of making music returned for good. Fergus turned his ability to blend into a strength, achieving harmony with his guitar and himself.

"beautifully contemplative and heartbreaking" - BRITZNBEATZ

"a melancholy voice that stands out from his contemporaries" - EarToTheGround Music

"hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking" - CaesarLiveNLoud

"exceptional voice, a truly distinct and remarkable experience" - I Heart Moosiq

Dear Heart

Fergus
