This song has been with me for over 10 years, and as one of my first its a personal favourite. It was composed (and performed) by myself (Killian McGrath) 2008 for our school graduation (CBS Carlow, recording 2008). The song tries to articulate the feeling of confronting uncertainty and potential at a liminal point in your life. It’s a central and recurring theme in everybody’s experience and I tried to capture this.  The singer is hopeful (and young), and I’ve wondered since if this functions almost like a protective mantel when approaching the unknown… The singer then is happy to approach the future, certain of what he can carry into it.
