Across three songs, Debí traces a journey that feels both personal and universal - from memory and loss, through despair and survival, to pride and self-acceptance. Each track builds upon the last, forming a cohesive emotional arc that is raw, poetic, and ultimately redemptive.
The opening track, All for One looks back on childhood friendships, imagination, and the innocence of shared dreams. What begins as nostalgia deepens into an elegy - a meditation on loss, memory, and identity. It’s a song of tenderness and regret, a doorway into the emotional landscape that follows.
At the centre of the collection lies Hard Fall and a Long Way Down - a stark, introspective piece that confronts isolation, despair, and the weight of social expectation. It’s a song about finding the will to remain - unflinching and deeply felt, rendered with restraint and honesty.
The final track, The Way I Am, transforms that hard-won survival into affirmation. Bold, rhythmic, and openly defiant, it’s a declaration of selfhood. The writing balances humour, wit, and conviction, moving from self-definition to empowerment. It’s a statement of identity rooted in dignity, not defiance.
Ending on this note reframes the entire record: the child remembered in All for One and the survivor of Hard Fall finally merge into a confident, integrated voice.
Close my eyes and count to ten is an emotionally expansive debut - a story told through one voice, one guitar, and a lifetime’s worth of insight. In an era where authenticity has become the most radical act, Debí’s work stands as a testament to resilience and the quiet power of truth.

Based in Dublin Ireland, Debí Lynn stands among a band of emerging trans artists bringing forward stories and emotions that have seldom been heard before - narratives born of lived experience, self-discovery, and a courage to share truths that were once silenced.

Her songs are part of a broader movement of emerging trans and queer artists rewriting what personal storytelling in music can be - not defined by difference but illuminated by it.
