I love the melody and those gorgeous ltric and the ethereal arrangement. A treat.

“This song is so expressive to me that I felt it would transition to a stripped back acoustic version fantastically and I believe it does. Most of my music begins acoustically so it is nice to showcase the melody and the lyrics in a version like this. I love the craft of songwriting and I feel grateful to have been inspired to write this song” 

A song about mental health - “Everything”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want whats mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on, here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Hear me now
My open heart is screaming
Screaming out 
You’re in my brain that is freer now
I’m starting to believe again, in me 
in me

The Amateur

Noodling around with a little repeat phrase on a felt piano, it decided it wanted to be this.

Passage

My heart, the house 
with the roof that's giving:
fight-or-flight feeling
- the glint in your eye
Even my skin 
is panicking...
Follow on the road 
of ragged old dreams...

A thousand seas sound 
in the swaying baby pine
The ragged cries of crows
climb
If I find my old heartbeats 
I'll follow them like 
stepping stones 

My heart, the house 
with the roof that's giving:
fight-or-flight feeling
- the glint in your eye
Even my dreams 
are scattering...
Follow on the road 
of ragged old dreams...

The shifting weight of rain 
on the skin of the sea
The sky-change like a brow
furrowing 
Rising up to disappear:
the words escape 
like cigarette smoke...

My heart, the house 
with the roof that's giving:
fight-or-flight feeling
- the glint in your eye
Even my skin 
is panicking...
Follow on the road 
of ragged old dreams...

Cold

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. We struggle against things that are ultimately good for us. I think when we let our guards down and become more open, we discover wonderful things in our lives.

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.
