Music and lyrics to love. Dance, scream, shout and shake about the way we treat our children and our world. Peek in Kaleidoscope:
"I know who I am you don't know me. Native American child happy and free. You've got to see the damage that you do, before the world turns it's power back on you....back on you!

KALEIDOSCOPE - CuttleLoose

A beautiful song telling a story of passionate love between heirs of powerful perfumers Darnelli and Cuttle, who are running close to the wind and into a storm,  setting sail from the River Dart in South West England, aboard the yacht Darnelli Star.

Sail Close to the Wind Captain's Mix

Protesting by investing. An anthem written for the small investor "Apes" whose shrewdness stands for the many opposed to hedge funds and the common practice  of shorting companies to death for profit and stock-market manipulation.

The Wall Street Coup - CuttleLoose

Sail Close to the Wind/ Kinsale is a Celtic love story and a warning.  It's a dance with the waves and the wild seas;  spirits rise, souls are stirred and rebel hearts beat.  The song warns that without love we are frail and without action we are in danger.
Stirring Celtic music written and performed by Stephen Kearney and his band; produced and arranged by Dario Pallacei.

Sail Close To The Wind. Eire Mix

71 year old Lili owns a roadside diner in the mid west. She is quiet and reclusive and she rides a Harley Davidson. At weekends she rides off alone, no one knows where, to hunt down perpetrators of online crime and organised abuse.  She researches her victims' obsessions and habits and then carefully plans their "accidental demise".
Special thanks to Robert Hart Fletcher for inspiring me to write this song.
Produced Julia Olsen

For The Love Of Lili

High energy rock'n'roll.  Music to wake up sleepwalkers; words to rouse rebel hearts. Eaten calls out a system which teaches the rich and powerful to put personal profit before people and planet. There is no planet B! The time is now. Time to wake up to a root cause, see the damage that's being done to sons - and change the path we're on. 

Written by Stephen Kearney, Eaten is a powerfully voiced, deeply felt response to current political, social and environmental threat and turmoil. Produced while on the road to Womex by the artist, in collaboration with musicians from Italy and UK. 

Impacted from an early age by political protestors, songwriters and musicians from across the globe, this song's musical influences include RL Burnside, Stevie Winwood, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones. A song about the poison of an elitist education that created a culture of greed that damages people, communities and the environment. A son rages at his father about his wealth, greed and the education that was forced on him.

Eaten

Love is Love
Cracked Rock is a track that warns that if we ignore the attacks on certain groups in society we'll be attacked next.
We have a right to legally live and love in anyway we choose. When we let politicians undermine those rights, we'll all suffer. 
The beauty of the flower, with its solid rootedness breaks the hard rock - an analogy for the cruel politics of the last 10 years.

Wake up and protect us from the cruel politics of the last 10 years. Sleepwalk at your peril.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM-o7bkOgzk

Cracked Rock

Stephen wrote this song because he's incensed by the way people live their lives unable to reach their potential because of conditioning. He loves  this song. It tells the story of a boy trapped and bleeding desperate to break out. He rejects the pressures exerted on mind and body. He's forced into unhealthy living by an establishment that's rooted in cruel hypocrisy . He delights in his escape and wastes no more time, he won't allow his soul to be hijacked anymore. He's been imprisoned for so many long years.

My Hair Is Growing

Here's a bit of Christmas fun before we rock into 2024.
Refound Christmas is a song that celebrates our love for each other, our planet and peace. Slightly tongue in cheek but after years of dis ease: politicians lying their way to power; covid; war; greed and corruption this song celebrates communities, families and the importance of being together at our festive time. A happy song xxx

Refound Christmas

In Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland the government are granting permission to build a Mussel farm in a beautiful location that is the heart of the tourist industry, recreation and fishing. It is an inappropriate site and thousands of people feel not listened too. Stephen has been listening to people in Kinsale and they are angry. Here is the song that reflects the community mood
