Wolves is a poem written by my brother Ciarán, I loved how descriptive and emotive the words were so put them to music and recorded it in an earlier acoustic version and here it has been transformed again by 2Rightly, his profile here-

A Path To The Meadow - part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at Anthology Records.

These two video clips depict the opening scenes of the story as a prelude / backstory. It tells the tale of our heroes (two Final War survivors in a post-apocalyptic surrounding) on their strenuous and dangerous voyage to a magical place - Regalia - The Enchanted Forest.

This song is about losing my wonderful big brother when I was a young man. He bought me 'The White Fender Strat' and said quietly through his smile "No excuses now...". Thanks forever bro, this is for you as always.

SMOKE

Growing up, looking up
I have never had my toast buttered on both sides
I started crying the day 
I watched my father clearing the overgrown weeds at the top of the garden and realised 
And realised
That wasn’t what he was doing
Ooh no

It was a still day 
So still
It was a still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
And another
Five years

There was a silence 
Where my beautiful dead brother still lived between us 
And that quietness wasn’t burned with the weeds

It was a still day
It was a still life 
So still
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
Another
Five years

Digging the sod in Donegal 
Praying for muscle, bunched like a ball 
Sweat and pride loved standing tall 
Anticipating 
Eye-watering 
Peat-stove fire 
That would 
Warm 
Cook 
And flavour our bones

It was a still day 
Still day
It was a still life 
Still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes

Another
Five years
And another
Five years...

Five years
Tick tock
Five years
My father lost his sense of smell and his pulse in cenotaph central heating
Five years
And my orphaned senses 
Five years
Still feel that fire

And smell that smoke...

You Don’t Talk Easy

Yeah, I’m all over you
Coming by your room
Faking accidental  - as if you didn't know
These small steps up a mountain climb 
And nothing’s going to turn back time, hey you

I’m crawling cross this chasm that I find
I’m trying to talk my way into your eyes
In real life you’re quick to speak your mind
But you don’t talk easy here tonight
You don’t talk easy here tonight

So fate has brought you here
You could have moved anywhere
But now we got these workdays to share
With my turn of phrase suggestible
Your face it stays imperceptible, hey you

Chorus

A woman like you is surely spoken for
And who am I to dare to come between
Warm blood is going to make me stay the course
Like the river flows from mountain to the sea

YOU DON'T TALK EASY

Nonsense, just nonsense! Hopefully, the listener will feel like someone kicked down their door, rants for 3 minutes, and then leaves. 

Lyrics:
Riding my bicycle
I was 8 years old
Riding to the Biblioteca
What the heck does that get ya?

Hey! Speak up asher bard
They say your miseries are symphonies
Hey, what are you writing in that notebook?
You know I say: I'm a poet
But, I make my own hours
That's how you know that you really own it
That's how you know that you've really made it
I've been playing a fool for so long
But I will probably do it again
If you insist
Hey, c'mon, everyone
Give it up for the band!
I've been  trespassing on salvation
I've been speaking in binary code
I'm an observer in slo-mo

Let's disseminate the movie of my life
Cue the split screen
It's like some kind of cosmic universe blooper reel
I'm trying to document the way that we feel
It's 3 AM in the rain
And I'm staring at myself
It's 3 AM in the rain
Can you not see yourself?
Oh, let's give it up
Give it up for the band!

Let those good vibes shine!

I've been thinking about the matter
And the anti-matter
I've got some kind of Dostoevsky skin disease (cough)
You know what I mean?
I've got the aftershave and undertones
The poet's got the loneliest nose
For the way things go

The biblioteca, what the heck will that get ya?

Good Vibes

JE N’AI PAS DE MESSAGE
JE N’AI RIEN À VOUS DIRE
PAS DE MAUVAIS PRÉSAGE
NI DE RÊVE D’EMPIRE

MOI J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
LE SOIR AU FOND DES BOIS
JE DANSE AVEC LES FOUS 
ET LES SINGES AUX ABOIS

ET JE FAIS LE MÉNAGE 
JE PLACE EN L’AVENIR
DES ESPOIRS PLUS SAGES
ET DES CRÉTINS MOINS PIRE

ET J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
L’ALOUETTE PARFOIS
BREF CE QUI VAUT LE COUP
QUI ÉTAIT UNE FOIS

DANS CE MONDE  DE SAUVAGES
DE SUCEURS DE VAMPIRES
OUI SOUVENT J’AI LA RAGE
LES TRIPES QUI CHAVIRENT

ET J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU 
LE SOIR AU FOND DES BOIS
JE GRONDE AVEC LES LOUPS
ET LES TIGRES AUX ABOIS

JE N’AI PAS DE MESSAGE 
PAS GRAND-CHOSE À VOUS DIRE
ALORS JE PLIE BAGAGE
ET TEL UN VIEUX SATYRE 

MOI J’ÉCOUTE LE COUCOU
ET LA QUEUE AUX ABOIS
MOI JE TIRE MON COUP
AVEC LA FÉE DES BOIS
