Lyrics


There's something I've always asked for,

You give it to me more and more,

 I dread the day you leave me, 

you said it was six months and one day,

But you'll get your freedom,

And you're getting back your life,

And you know you'll have it all,

Have it all,

Offer me sunshine or offer me rain ill take it any way,

Would your car take me far? as far as a train? No, i need an airplane,

Don't make a fuss if you cant catch the bus there's another arranged,

Do you think i will float on the mystery boat or will i sink the whole game. . . .by saying/singing,

GOODBYE

There's something you've always asked for,

I give it to you more and more,

You dread the day you leave me, 

You said you'd dream a dream for me,

But you'll get your freedom. . . . . . . . . . . . 

Offer me sunshine. . . . . . . . 


By singing GOODBYE
GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

Hey guys, here's an alternative mix of always to show some of the more intricate violin and strung-instrument work that went into the song.  Great job to Colin Norrby for recording the violin parts....30 individual violin tracks, what a harmonic madman. Thanks. ukulele love.

ALWAYS (orchestral mix) - Rónán Kearney

I'm writing some music for a dance festival that's happening in Derry, between the 7th and 12th of November for Echo Echo.   I thought it would be great to use my karimbas as they lend themselves very well to movement.  :) 

Karimba Improv F minor

This is an improvisation on a lotus tuned Karimba. The artist Saregama came up with this quite mystical tuning in Cmin. I love to play this particular Karimba everyday . . . I'll look forward even more when there is dance put to this music on the 7th November at the Echo Echo body/movement/dance festival in Derry which I'm composing music for.  Thank you 

Karimba Improv Cminor ( Lotus Tuned )

I recorded this with a one mic setup - i wrote this a few days ago and made a wee demo. 22nd Nov 2012

 The summer of love quickly turned into the summer of doubt

Music and Lyrics by Rónán Kearney. . 


Karen my Love, 

I'll never hold another,

It's you and your son, 

I'll never lose again.

All i know for sure is that I'd love to be where you are,

Time keeps ticking, 

i quit sleeping since all this began, 

my girl.

We should write more pages and read them with hearts beating,

That soft and gentle secret, 

proved our true/pure devotion,
                                           
proved the true emotion of our love.

Take me back, I'm lost without you Karen,

It's you and your son I'll never lose again.

Lost Pages (live) - Demo - Rónán Kearney

Hey everyone. . . i love this instrument as much as a ukulele and that's loads . . . here's a wee improvisation i made today as a backing for my 'Introduction to the SC community' message. 

Two thumbs and 17 notes . . . .I'd recommend this instrument to any musician. They can be tuned to anything you like. . .  this one is in Gmin. Take care my fellow Clouders.
Love to you all

P.s.     the buzzing you hear are little brass buzzers on the tines. . . . .authentic to African thumb pianos. :)

Music and Lyrics by Rónán Kearney


Heart of Glass, Heart of Stone


This is not just another day,

The way the sun did rise

It's a sign, a new way.

All families hold regrets,

your fathers choice

would affect the way that you felt.


Now you can't give your love away

How could we be that way


You have felt my heart of Glass , Oh no,

You can see right through me

feel the true me

since the moment we met in time.

Who's holding back the tears

From your mothers choice 

To keep a family from falling to pieces.

Now you can't give your love away

How could we be that way,


Now you can't give your love away

Will this ever be undone


I can't feel your heart of stone, Oh no,

I can see right through you

feel the true you

Since the moment we met in time.

Holding on to fear

It's your own choice

To let go or hold on for years


Now you can't give your Love away

Heart of Glass. Heart of Stone - Rónán Kearney - Demo (Live)

Here's a new demo . . . recorded at home 23rd march 2013. i'm feeling a bit of a roller - coaster. it's making me sing
One mic and a guitar . . .     :(      A song of hope, love and friendship - From the album - Heart of Glass. heart of Stone 

Side by Side

The  talk of the street, I can't hear it or care.
Most strangers i meet I can't see their expressions.
You are discrete and oh so nearly you care
For the memories sincere, we are with good intentions.

We'd stand towards the sun
Telling everyone
That we are together.
We'll stay strong
Don't separate
Or stay away for too long

Time, our time has come for us tonight. 
Have we worked things out? 

The air that i'm breathing I'd give you my last breath
Again and again.
The stars re-arrange i can see your face in them.
The vast rolling seas I can hear it, Roar.
It shouts out your name I can still hear it calling. 

We'd stand towards the sun
Telling everyone
That we are together.
We'll stay strong
Don't separate
Or stay away for too long

Time. Our time, has come for us tonight.

How many times could we feel that way?
Have we ever felt this way before?
It's all for the choices that we both made.
Guided to this place
You and I made sure . . . 

We'd stand towards the sun
Telling everyone
That we are together.
We'll stay strong
Don't separate
Or stay away for too long
 
As if we'd worked things out

Side by Side - Rónán Kearney - Demo - (live)

Lyrics

Always                           Rónán Kearney

If ever you may doubt, 
the things we've talked about, 
just think of what we shared, 
each day was perfect.

How i want you to know, 
most people go too and fro, 
remember what we have, 
each day and always.

Parting paths after our last morning, 
could we make it so we would be grateful again.

You, me are always..... 
Black and blue with good heartache.

We didn't have to look hard, 
a beacon, a shining star. 
Relative to who you are, 
I will remember forever.

Parting paths. . . .

You, me are always. . . .

It's true you can't stick around, 
for sure you must leave when you're leaving, 
could we make it so we would be grateful again.

You, me are always
