Out of Love

They told me to dream big
So I dreamt of the sun
And its gravitational pull
its gravitational pull
And all the life it breathes into everything
And its gravitational pull

How can I ensure when I am fully grown
That the Milky Way will make room 
So that I can ever-glow?

How can I be centre of this universe 
(I know I know)
How can I be anything but disappointed?

(I can't match up, I can't match up, to any of my own...)

And now it's reached the stage
Where I am jealous of birds
and their levitational art
and their levitational art
And how their lightest hearts
Can help them reach the stars
and their levitational artistry

How can I ensure when I am dead and gone
That my legacy endures
My reputation twinkles on?
How, when I explode, can I shoot eight million eons?
Then how can I get further still?

(and yeah, I think I was about 16 when I learnt about the greeks and mythology and how they could talk mostly deeply about what it means to be a human being... and I learnt about Icarus and all of those events before his fall.... and I wondered... and I kept wondering.... and I kept wondering... how he must've felt in those few minutes just before he melted... to be the highest one... to be the highest one... to be the closest one...)

Icarus

From the new album 'Seven for A Secret' out 01/01/20 in all digital stores. The first track on the album, it sets the scene for what's to come. The album tells the tale of two murders from the perspectives of the people involved. Produced by Gavin Monaghan (The Blinders, The C33's, Pagans SOH)and recorded at Magic Garden Studio, Wolverhampton. The album started life as a rough screen play which spawned a song and grew into a full album. Next stop is a graphic novel and/or video clip if funds allow.

Fire On At Me - T.E.G


“I’m on my way home, I want to get back,
I know it feels good, and I don’t wanna leave”

Fire on at me if you don’t have more to say
Come and get it cos you’ve got nothing to stay
You and I both know that it don’t work this way
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
We both got reasons but these reasons aren’t enough
It’s my vendetta and yours, you just had it rough
But things are changing and though I know it’s tough
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Here we are -  away from home
I close my eyes I visualise 
I wanna go home
Not on your own - but fighting solo
The end is near, I feel the fear
I wanna go home

We take our prisoners who just want their release
They say they’re sorry but we’re not easy to please
Their freedom’s ours and we’ll sort ‘em out with ease
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
Any action will so make you pay the price
So no decision is without sacrifice
Just ‘cos I pity doesn’t mean I am nice
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Feel these tears, they’re filled with rage
Fell off my horse I’ve got back up
I wanna go home
Don’t pretend, that your not scared
This war right here’s been on years
I wanna go home

Don’t think you can stop me
I am trying and succeeding 
You cannot see me I’m invincible
And I stop stop wanna come home

Fire On At Me

Lyrics

V1
paint me in colours that you want to see
I'll be the person that you wanted to know before you met me
and I'll hold your hand until my blood runs blue
I'll be the person that you wanted to know, the girl you once knew

Pre Chorus
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I'm just a little stuck on you

Chorus 
oh I'd mould my brain to fit with yours
and I'd sing this song until my lungs are sore
oh I'm sorry if you're bored of questions 
and second guessing
oh I'm hopelessly asking for more
cause I'm not sure I love you really means that much at all

V2
tell, tell me something is on your mind 
cause I can't talk for the two of us and I know something isn't quite right
and is this how I'm meant to spend my time
oh staring into dead eyes wondering if I cross your mind

Pre Chorus
oooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I guess I gave it all for you

Chorus

Outro
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I just can't give it all for you

Lyrics:
You'd sleep
You'd sleep better in a warm bed
You'd be better staying with the pack
It's a fact

'Cos out there
It might look like it's a life of ease
It might look like there's a world to seize
But it's a lie

Stay
If it makes you feel better then stay
And I'll be whatever you need
'Cos you give more than I've ever seen
Stay
Stay just the same
'Cos I'd never recover from shame
If you walked out of something so beautiful

I miss you
I miss you better in a cold bed
I'd ring you louder than a chapel bell
If it'd bring you back

And I'll be
I will never ever be the same
You should stay a while and feel the change
Feel the flame

Oh stay
If it makes you feel better then stay
And I'll be whatever you need
'Cos you give more than I've ever seen
Stay
Stay just the same
'Cos I'd never recover from shame
If you walked out of something so beautiful

The End Is Nigh

"A songwriter of subtle complexity that belies his tender years" - Daily Mirror

Training as a young orchestral viola player, Belfast-born Owen Denvir was drawn by the alternative sound of Bon Iver over Bach. These two styles of music influence his songwriting, which Hot Press magazine have described as "honest, personal... complex and affecting".

"Honest and personal song-craft, paired with beautiful vocals... This Northern star is rising fast" - Hot Press magazine

Owen's DIY production has totalled over 100,000 streams on Spotify and 2,000,000 views on videos across Facebook and Youtube, even drawing the attention of Coldplay on Twitter. Coupled with support slots for dodie, JC Stewart and Ryan McMullan as well as Irish TV appearances on BBC 1's "Nolan Live", ITV's "UTV Life" and TV3's "The 6 O'Clock Show" and major Irish radio playlisting, his music has stretched far beyond its quiet beginnings of his bedroom studio.

"Well worth a look" - Coldplay
"Will leave you mesmerised" - Independent.ie

Over the course of the next 12 months, Denvir will be releasing a trilogy of EPs: "Sticks", "Stones" and "Bones", which encompass Freud's theory of personality (3 individual parts which form one whole). Lead singles from "Sticks" ("Ghost" & "Stay") have topped the "RTE Radio One Recommends" playlist and were selected by Spotify for Irish curated playlist "An Alternative Eire".

"One of the finest talents around in Northern Ireland today" - Ralph McLean, BBC Radio Ulster

After spending the last year collaborating with the charity 'Live Music Now' - who provide professional music for care homes and special schools - Owen recorded and produced the album "Music & Memories: Voices of Belfast" alongside Peter J. McCauley (of Rams' Pocket Radio). This side-project compiled performances and stories from residents of Belfast care homes, resulting in a unique set of arrangements featuring guitar, piano, viola and ukulele, bringing together voices from across the city in a blend of nostalgia and Belfast wit.

"One of Belfast's gems" - Gigging NI
"Lyrically and vocally expressive... Denvir's classical background provides an intricately delicate musical scaffold" - State.ie

Powerfully uncool electronic pop grooves for sarcastic introverts.
