Lyrics :- Try This Once

We're on this journey, and we got to make it work... together,
Separated forever, we've been, and we could make this work,

And if I just try this once, I think we can make it... work,
And if I just try at once, I think we can make it,
Do you think we can shake it?

Many moons ago, it was all mapped out...
Then times got strange, all headed south...
But the light in our eyes, burn in the dark...
And if you agree with me, we can light a spark!

But if we just try at once, I think we can make it... work,
And if we just try this once, I think we can't forsake it,
Do you think we can shake it?

Try this once and just believe, there's no problems to perceive,
Just lean back on this now, grab a fence, please, somehow...
Just lean back on this cloud, get a sense of it all right now...
Just lean back shout it loud, you might get a sense of it all right now,

It's make up your mind time.... Figure out the unknown,
It's make up your mind time.... Step into the unknown,
It's figure it out time.... Make up your mind,
It's figure it out time, Step into the unknown...

Try this once and just believe, there's no problems to perceive,
Just lean back on this now, grab a fence, please, somehow...
Just lean back on this cloud, get a sense of it all right now,
Just lean back shout it out, you might get a sense of it all right now... 
A sense of it all, right now!

Try This Once

a Quiet Way - Lyrics

Holding on to everything you have to hand, just let go!
Just try to give everything a chance to work out, to work out...
It might just work, it might see you sitting there thinking
if you got it right? it might just work, it might work out fine
if your thinking that you got it right!
 
Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the freedom, think of the open-ness
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well
Go well, go well, go swell...

How these things find a way and with reasons and how they fall,
And how they just make sense, can make it worth it, can make it worth it!
It's the quiet way to know at least to me that it makes sense
and that just makes sense!
However it is you make your way on the day to push forward and that makes it worth it...

Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the open-ness, think of the freedom
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well,
Go well, go well, go well...
Go swell, go swell, go swell
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well,
Oh well...

a Quiet Way

Second Sight - Lyrics

Verse 1:-

Travelled far and wide in my search for you,
You conducted your very own search and rescue,
I found everything I needed and I carried it back home,
Now you've got a reason to show me I ain't wrong,
No, I ain't wrong, I ain't wrong,
No, I ain't wrong!

Chorus:-

Hold it up to the sky, to see the light,
Raise it up high, for this time,
You've got it inside, this one might,
Bring it on down, for the moment in time,
For the moment in time...

Verse 2:-

Guided by everything that's learned,
I know you'll find me here... Gaining ground,
Traction forming over, everything yearned,
Everything yearned!

Chorus 2:-

Hold it up high, to see the height,
Raise it up to the sky, for this time,
You've got it inside, this one might
Bring it on down, for the moment in time,
For the moment in time...

Middle 8:-

Your on level ground, make your mark,
You are the sound, light the spark,
The canvas's drowned, light to dark,
Your on level ground, make your mark...

You're ever so shy, come out of the dark,
You've found your place, and your a part,
Energy flows both ways for a start,
You know you've got the one that speaks to...
You know you've got the one that speaks to...
To the heart,
To the heart,
To the heart,

Outro:-

Your the one,
Your the one,
Your the one,
Your the one!

Verse 1:

Making your way in this world may be harder than you first think,

But just hold on you might find that you swim and don't sink,

Catch a shooting star and ride it out into the brink,

Hold on tight close your eyes undo that last kink...

Bridge:

You won't know what you might find,

It's more fun than when you hide,

When you think of what you know,

Maybe you're ready to go...

Chorus:

Ride it out, it's always better than it seems,

Make it proud, you have seen this in your dreams,

Write it out, you have everything you need,

Shout it out, you are only helping plant seeds...

I'll take you on a ride (planting seeds) I'll take you way across the sky (x2)

Verse 2:

Taking your time in this world could be harder than you might think,

But just hold on you could find that you swim and don't sink,

Remember where you are and don't forget to find yourself that link,

From one thing to the next you might find you're the one in the pink...

Bridge:

Chorus:

Middle 8:

Nothing lasts forever, yeah we both know this,

Put our lips together, yeah for one last kiss...

Solo:

Chorus:

Outro:

I'll take you on a ride, (planting seeds) I'll take you way across the sky... Repeat - (x4) (Artwork - Byrdz)

Shooting Star

One For Sorrow were a hard rock band from Co. Wexford, Ireland. They formed in 2003 when guitarist John Harpur, drummer Paudie Farrell and singer Mick O' Connor, met guitarist James Murphy - ('Byrdz') (pronounced 'Birds') and bass player Graham O' Connor.  - (Replacing previous bass player John Paul Walsh.) ('Spud') 

The five began rehearsing Harpur's songs at their practice space. After completion, came gigs in the local area, and then some recording at Aer Studios Gorey, Co. Wexford, then some recording at a Factory in Dublin that was converted into a studio. An old one of Byrdz's tracks 'Jump' recorded in a garage in an estate in Wexford town was then finally added into the mix. A ten track CD was created.

The band played more gigs including shows in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, USA which were well received. One final set of Wexford gigs followed before the band called it a day in 2009.                                                                                Thank you for listening! We hope you all enjoy our sound.
