This is a country and Western song based on the folklore mystical image of the 7th Son of a 7th Son. In my song he is a bounty hunter working for the Dark One, his job is to collect the souls of the Wicked and bad people of this earth. There is no hiding from him, he is after your soul and discards the Skin. He must be very busy at the moment in this world we live in. 

the Bass and drums are driving this one with a beat designed to make you feel like you are riding a horse through the night running from the 7th son of the 7th Son , hope you like it .

Life's about Living

Life's about living

Will you love me still, when I'm old and grey

Every time i turn on the news or pick up a news paper my heart is hurt by the amount of Violence, war, Starvation , corruption that is going on at the moment. Whatever happened to Love, peace and happiness. I wrote this song to celebrate Life, freedom and peace. Life is not about oppression or starvation or war, or any of this stuff it is simply for Living.

I finally realised what this life is all about
I’m going to find a mountain  gonna  climb to the top I’m going to shout it out 
Im gonna soar like a bird up in the sky 
Way up high,  I feel like I can fly 

I finally realised what this life is all about
Its taken me a lifetime now I want to share with you 
I want to shout it out 
Its been a very long time, but at last I’ve worked it out 
Here’s my revelation what life’s about 

Life’s about Living, life’s about Loving 
About Forgiving and understanding 
Life’s about being brave and standing tall 
Being proud of who you are even when you fall 
Life’s about Love , but most of all 
Life’s about Living 

I finally realised what this life is all about
Why God gave me a life, why God gave me a mouth 
So that I can tell the world, so I can shout it out 
This is what life is all about 

I finally realised what this life is all about
I’m gonna travel the world North, East , West and South 
Spreading the news i/m gonna use my God give mouth 
I’m Gonna tell the world 
What this life’s about 

Life’s about Living, life’s about Loving 
About Forgiving and understanding 
Life’s about being brave and standing tall 
Being proud of who you are even when you fall 
Life’s about Love , but most of all 
Life’s about Living

This is a revamp of a song i released a few years ago. I have added a few extra pieces to enhance the song.  It seems more relevant today than ever before. The world is full of Narcissist's this is for them and please ...do sing  along...I suppose the message in the song is very simple ..
When everything in your life is falling apart, its never your fault , its always someone else's because you are so much smarter, funnier, better that everybody else, they just cant see it. ha ha ha 
" It's always someone else's Fault "

The Narcissist's Anthem

7am on a spring morning at Blessington Lakes in County Wicklow and all was still, suddenly i heard the most amazing sound that broke the silence, 2 amazing white swans flew out of the mist with such gracefulness and power it took my breath away, i wrote this song to try and capture the beauty and style of these amazing birds.
this is my fist ever instrumental . I hope you like it.

Swans In Flight

We all have dreams. Chase your dreams , chase those Rainbows have fun. Life is short. Do it now. Believe in yourself and anything is possible. Try it. The magic is inside of you. Let the Genie out of the bottle.

Life's About Living

Rainbows & Dreams

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

This Empty world ( Featuring Finn Eces )

Written by Finn Eces this is a song about believing in yourself and not always looking at what the Jones's have, Be happy with what you have, although i do rather like the sports car that mister Jones has :-)

Someone Else's Dreams

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
