Hi everyone,

This is my latest song called 'Coming Home'. It is inspired by the amount of people I have heard stories about or known myself who were forced to emigrate over a number of years from Ireland to countries around the world.
The song describes the longing to return home for these people and that for some of them they always have that wish to return home, despite the fact that they might never get the chance to.

It is one of my favourite songs that I have ever written and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks,

Paul

Here are the lyrics:

Coming Home

Verse 1
I still see your faces,
Hiding how much you're aching.
Unfamiliar places,
I know my heart is breaking,
Thinking about home.

Verse 2
I miss the way we live.
I miss your warm embrace.
Oh what I wouldn't give,
For a chance to see your face.
I'm thinking about home.

Chorus
Home,
I'm coming home.
Home,
I'm coming home.

Verse 3
You're half the world away,
But it feels like more.
I don't know what I'd say,
If I called at your door.
You'd say, 'Welcome home!'

Verse 4
I think I'm gone forever,
You think i'll be back soon.
But never say never,
I've got some news for you.
I'm coming back home.

Coming Home

Hi everyone,

This is my latest track 'Dreams Were Meant for Sleeping'.

It tells the story of someone falling in love at first sight but giving up repeatedly at the first hurdle. They resign themselves to the fact that they are not good enough and they will never reach their dreams.

While this story deals with love, it is a metaphor for reaching for dreams in general.

Enjoy,

Paul :)

Here are the lyrics:

I watch as you walk,
Through the crowd, unfamiliar,
I'm drawn to you,
I don't even know your name.

My plans are abandoned,
I set off on your way,
I lose sight of you,
I'll never see you again.

I try to think,
About what I would say,
But you're gone,
But dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway.

I see you now,
As you come to a stop,
My heart it beats,
Like never before.

But then it breaks,
You reach your arms
around his neck,
And I realise I never will be yours.

I try to tell myself,
That you'll be mine one day,
But you're gone,
But dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway.

I try to think,
About what I would say,
But you're gone,
But dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway,
Dreams were meant for sleeping anyway.

Hit Me Baby One More Time (Cover)

This is my latest song called 'I Am Here'. It was inspired by a recent story I heard.

Unfortunately a man passed away recently while sleeping rough in a park in Dublin City Centre. It was at first, thought that he was homeless and could not find shelter for the night. It transpired that he was visiting Dublin for the day from another county and failed to secure accomodation for himself and tragically passed away over night in the park. It was a terribly unfortunate and sad story which resonated with many people. In reading about this story, I discovered that many shelters and hostels for homeless people in Dublin are due to close over the coming months due to a lack of funding. The passing of this man has highlighted the dangers of sleeping on the streets and of being homeless...and to think that people who have been homeless for weeks/months/years could lose the very very little that they have- the chance of a bed to sleep in once or twice a week- is unbelievable. Who is thinking about these people? Does anyone actually care? I worry that the issue of homelessness is continually being swept under the rug and these people are treated as they they are invisible. It is not good enough and we need to stand up for them.

This song speaks from the point of view of one homeless man...but could represent many I am sure.

Here are the lyrics:

Day turns to night,
As I find my bed.
The stars ignite,
Above my head.

I'd love to talk,
With anybody.
I watch as you walk,
But don't see me.

Chorus:
But I am here.
Why can't you hear my voice,
Loud and clear?
It isn't out of choice,
That I am here.

You don't know,
My story.
You don't know,
The man I used to be.

The street's now my home,
And my worst enemy.
I'm out here on my own,
You don't see me.

Chorus x2

Bridge
What will it take,
For you to see me?

I Am Here

Hi everyone!

This is my latest track called 'You've Bottled Up Our Freedom'. 

I have also experimented with some bass and drums through an app for this piece...I don't know how successful it has been because I am inexperienced in this area so any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks

I hope you enjoy it!

Here are the lyrics:

You only have to whisper
It's just your voice that's heard
We're forced to build the roadway
That you march on Undeterred

Searching for opposition
To challenge in your game
Where you're the rule maker
And the end's always the same

You've bottled up our freedom
And fed it to your wolves
That prowl around us blindly
Slowly turning on themselves

You left us in the darkness
Hoping that we'd never see
You Showed us all the one way out
Then threw away the key

Chorus Melody

The truth is not accepted
You only deal in lies
Making the cost of your deception
So easy to disguise

A feast sits on your table
While our blood is on your hands
You held no sword or rifle
So you cannot understand

How you've poisoned every spirit
Your venom's sinking in
You try to bark your orders
But they're not getting in

Come down and face your people
It you really are that strong
But every passing second
Shows you were lying all along

Chorus Melody x2

You've Bottled Up Our Freedom

Hi everyone!

This is my second version of my latest track called 'You've Bottled Up Our Freedom'.

I have changed some of the backing stuff around to hopefully suit the song better. 

Thanks

I hope you enjoy it!

Here are the lyrics:

And the end's always the same

You've bottled up our freedom
And fed it to your wolves
That prowl around us blindly
Slowly turning on themselves

You left us in the darkness
Hoping that we'd never see
You Showed us all the one way out
Then threw away the key

You've Bottled Up Our Freedom (Version 2)

Experimental attempt at what I consider to be one of the most challenging songs to cover today. Few mistakes but I hope you enjoy! :)

Chandelier- Sia (Cover)

This is my latest track, "Your Lightning Bolt".

It is inspired by people who are there for others in times of need...

Hope you enjoy it!

Paul

Here are the lyrics:

When times get tough,
And you're feeling all alone.
When you've had enough,
And you can't do it on your own.

There's a storm ahead,
Where everything's unknown.

CHORUS
But then you'll find me,
Out in your darkness,
Blindly,
I'll be your lightning bolt,
Ready to guide you home.

When you've lost your way,
And can't decide which turn to take.
When you feel led astray,
And your body starts to ache.

Clouds are overhead,
And you're just about to break.

Chorus x3

Your Lightning Bolt

Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I posted anything up here. Life is so busy that finding time for music making is becoming more and more difficult. I hope to be able to give some more time to it this year...

This is my new track "I Wish You Could Stay".

It was inspired by a story I heard about a young woman who had an illness and was given a short time to live. The song tells the story of her and her partner in the last few days of their life together.

Here are the lyrics:

The look in your eyes,
Fills me with dread,
But they don't disguise,
What's going on in your head.

It's hard to dismiss,
But I can't believe,
That it's come to this,
I swore I wouldn't leave.

CHORUS
The light's growing old,
You're drifting away,
It's out of our control,
But I wish you could stay.

Our time has to end,
But I hope it's not today,
You're my best friend,
I wish you could stay.

INSTRUMENTAL

She turns and she cries,
"You know you were the one,
Perfect in my eyes,
For everything that you've done.

I'm sorry that you're here,
And I'm sorry for me too,
All our dreams felt so near,
Now they never will come true".

CHORUS
The light's growing old,
I'm drifting away,
It's out of our control,
But I wish I could stay.

Our time has to end,
And I think it's today,
Remember you're my best friend,
And I wish I could stay.

INSTRUMENTAL

If there's someone that you love,
Go and let them know,
That it's them you're thinking of,
Before you have to let them go.

I Wish You Could Stay
