What a fabulous track Niamh and Stephen! So cool to hear music that is meticulously thought out and recorded, with superb vocals and lyrics, but which comes across as totally fresh and new. Look forward to more!

I like your arrangement of the opposites  - this is enchanting!

Happy Friday [part 1]

'Juggling With Live Grenades' is a mixed genre track originally intended as a backing track to a monologue. However the other person involved pulled out and so I "expanded" the track and here is the result.

Juggling With Live Grenades

A tip of the hat to Taylor Jessen for the sample source.

Minus one and the sun rising
Trying to get a message to you
I wonder do you receive them
Am I getting through to you

I am awoken, I'm seeing all of your symbols
All the signals that you've left for me
So animal, picking up scent,
I can't even articulate what it is I see

And you say "I got you outta this
Now whaddya got for me?
I got you outta this
Now whaddya got whaddya got?"

Drowning in the sun babe, sun babe, and frost
Drowning in the sun babe,
and the sense of something lost
Drowning in the sun babe, sun babe, and frost, 
And you've stopped reading my eyes too 
You've stopped reading my eyes 

Now I've dug up the treasure 
I can take back what's mine 
Give me every music and pleasure 
I am the truest ever lie 

I am awoken, I'm seeing all of your symbols
All the signals that you've left for me
I haven't yet stepped wrong but I keep losing my keys 
Am I losing my way too? 

And you say... (chorus) 

I don't want to do any damage
Not every fire has to ravage
No fuel you burn can keep you at my pace
Just sit back and watch me blaze 

I am awoken... (chorus) 

Now just when I should be mild
I find myself all aflame 
Now I find myself to be wild
Just when I thought that I was tamed..

Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.
