Lyrics

This vessel, this vessel is decrepit
Everything's sinking, yet the water is so tepid
The waves, the tides, the surface currents
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by endurance

Hatching plans, hatching like a horrid hen
All gone awry, these best laid plans of mice and men
The fragile balance of plants and minerals
We'll be the mascots at our own funeral

So when you've made the choice not to be on your own
A different way of life, a black hole
Try not to lose control
It seems like one mistake can turn a lifetime's work to catastrophe

It only takes one time, found crawling on your knees
Trying to find the last of your dignity 
You've got to use restraint
You've got to give and take, you've got to work things out and negotiate

Like two crabs, two crabs in a bucket
Our spoons are long, but now they're also rusted
Trying to keep it metaphysical
A "something something" that's apolitical

We've died inside, you're still dyed-in-the-wool
We look distended, you just look like your belly's full
A boring disease, not even tropical
Gimme a sing-song that's not so topical

(At loggerheads)

Rabble-rousing, rising from the rabid rush
Not taking commands, but pissing on the burning bush
These vacant halls, at least they echo (echo)
These crumbling walls become our own jericho

These clumsy smears, smears all on the windowpane
The fingerprints, dislocated, masked by rain
The fragile balance of plants and minerals
We'll be the mascots at our own funeral

(At loggerheads)

Whole Heart

My Eyes Are Blessed

So how did someone from an Irish village end up making this song (and eventually an EP) with two very talented Italians? Well, living and working by the lakes in northern Italy, one hour outside Milan helps, and that's where Adrian O’Connell is based. A chance meeting with a friend led him to local studio owner Andrea Cajelli. The two quickly bonded over a discussion of music and movies at Twiggy music club in Varese. They entered Andrea’s appropriately named “La Sauna” studios for an initial 3 days. Despite Adrian’s fears he wasn’t ready, immediately things clicked. They worked for 10 months together producing Adrian’s first studio album (the acoustic-based Hotel Europa).

Following the album’s release, Adrian began to play live around the villages and lakes, and convinced Luca and Paolo, aka local indie-folk/rock duo “Ropes of Sand” to join him live (check out their 2018 release Lately on Italy’s highly esteemed Edison Box label). Luca (bass/cello) is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and arranger, heavily involved in the Italian underground music scene (appearing most recently on 2020’s well-received Transit by Alessandro Rocca). Paolo (drums) was in Varese’s popular alt-country group Midwest and has collaborated on many other projects. The EP will be released by Limerick’s legendary Out On A Limb Records.

LYRICS

there must be some way out of here
I just haven’t found it yet
we don’t need to break ourselves
knowing our regrets

another lie
we don’t have to fight

I don’t know but honesty
doesn't always seem to fit
but if we’re only telling half the truth
are we killing the best bit?

another lie
we don’t have to fight
you’re that someone I
I haven’t failed with yet

oh do you know whats next?
will you choose the best?
we don’t have to fight
I just need this off my chest
we don’t have to lie
