Loose 2015

Yeah, I saw them take up my town
they tore up Thompson row
I watched the trucks of thieves go by
I can feel 'em in my bones
On main street people walk
with their heads bowed down
listenin' to the triangle park preacher bode

So I sing in my head
our hometown is dead

Out of work and waitin' in lines
lookin' for lend outs without company dime
I'm losin' step with tired rhymes
and no way for me to go
There are boys who follow the road
well worn, it once guided me home
left with an empty room and false pride

So we sing in our heads
our hometown is dead

Watch you go, let you go
watch you go, let you go

I find solace in the night
when it's dark like the midnight fight
between the good and the bad
between the hollow and moonlight
I am good as gone
a ghost in song
I've climbed the rungs and seen the light

So I sing in my head
our hometown is dead

- Gareth Dunlop and Kim Richey to release "The Nashville Sessions" EP on 5th of May.
 
- EP includes two songs recently heard on US TV series "Nashville" (ABC / Channel 4) and another in "Bones" (Fox / Sky).  
 
- Richey & Dunlop Tour the UK in May
 
Kim Richey and Gareth Dunlop first met in early 2013 for a songwriting session. Dunlop says, "The first time I met Kim was to sit down and write a song in Nashville... I was a bit nervous!  What came out of that first meeting was a great friendship and a song called "Keep Coming Back", that was later featured in the TV show Nashville.  Since that time we’ve written the five songs that came together to make this EP."  
 
Richey adds, "I loved writing with Gareth from the very first time we got together.  There was an immediate musical connection, and we laugh a lot - always a good thing." 

Their diverse backgrounds may at first seem an unusual combination.  Dunlop was born and raised in East Belfast and became one of the most talked about young musicians in Northern Ireland. He was offered a publishing deal after his very first show at the famous Bluebird Café in Nashville and has gone on to make Nashville his second home. Gareth's songs have since been featured in numerous television shows ("House", "Cougar Town") and the film soundtracks ("Safe Haven").

Richey, born in Akron Ohio, is a two-time Grammy nominated songwriter who has released six critically acclaimed albums over the past two decades.  She has written two US #1 singles, had four others hit Top 10 and her songs have been recorded by Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, James Morrison, and many others, as well as contributed backing vocals on albums by Ryan Adams, Shawn Colvin, Jason Isbell and more.

So perhaps it's apt that, since Nashville brought these unique talents together, the EP be named in honour of "Music City" and, in turn, the TV show some of these songs inspired.

Written by Gareth Dunlop & Kim Richey


Distance don’t mean a thing
I come when you pull the strings
The strings of my heart
Were ever you are

Just pull, tug, tease

I’ll keep coming back
Ohh its true
I keep coming back
That’s what I do 
I retrace my tracks 
To you

Time isn’t all it seems
No measure of you and me
Hours turn into days 
Though I’m far away

Just pull, tug, tease

I’ll keep coming back
Ohh its true
I keep coming back
That’s what I do 
I retrace my tracks 
To you

Ands the place where I land
Is the palm of your hand

Just pull, tug, tease

I’ll keep coming back
Ohh its true
I keep coming back
That’s what I do 
I retrace my tracks 
To you
I keep coming back
Ohh its true
I keep coming back 
That’s what I do 
Retrace my tracks
To you

DANNY & THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD - What Kind Of Love

From the new album, Quite A Feelin', out now from Mama Bird Recording Co. (US/World) and Loose Music (Europe).

LYRICS:
I rolled down the window for some air
Stuck my elbow out the car
When I heard the music playin'
From a jukebox, honky-tonkin' bar
I went and shuffled through the tunes
For the one thing that I knew, that song of ours
When lovin' you was hard, my Indiana rose
So play it one more time, one more for the road
 
We used to sit out on the porch
With all that sweet corn shinin' in the breeze
Like the way you used to dance
With all them children wrapped around your knees
Though, now I find myself
Waitin' on somethin’ else to comfort me
The way it used to be, my Indiana rose
So play it one more time, one more for the road
 
Because that old song was all we left behind
Those regrets, I feel 'em all the time
The love we once had, it's hard to find
Now it's hard to know
 
Goin' through the motions ain't enough
If no one's playin' fair
When all you wanted was
Someone to come home with somethin' to share
Because everybody knows, with a promise
There's a reason to care
And I was never there, my Indiana rose
So play it one more time, one more for the road
 
Because that old song was all we left behind
Those regrets, I feel 'em all the time
The love we once had, it's hard to find
Now it's hard to know, my Indiana rose
My Indiana rose

lyrics

the legend the myth
hair to my ribs
appear in the river when times are grim
if i got your clothes then you know what it is
prove that i am and ill grant you the gift
in the river im keening
up in the wastes im floating away
wailing and screaming you know what it means
thats you or your family thats now on the way out
say goodbye to the world
close off your ties when u see me in the dirt
every birth is a curse 
some choose to reverse some let it unearth

the trees resemble these crooked hands
walking alone in no mans land

wandering

if you need it then you know i got the info
take a right then its down to the next road
heirlooms glisten like the snow make my neck froze
current strong and the wind ima let it blow
if you need it then you know i got the info
take a right then its down to the next road
Im the bean nighe showin in the white robe
show you how to come back into lifes room
