5.AMHRAN PHEADAR BREATHNACH

A music podcast about iconic Irish albums. Each episode takes a deep dive into the making of an album with one of its creators.

In this episode I’m joined by Cypress, Mine! members Ciarán Ó Tuama, Ian Olney and Mark Healy to tell the story of the band and a whole lot more. Cypress, Mine! formed in 1984, they released three singles and the album Exit Trashtown (Solid Records, 1988), before disbanding in 1989. Morty McCarthy from The Sultans of Ping and Craig Walker from Power of Dreams also contribute their memories of Cypress, Mine! to this episode.

Dating Disaster

Aaron Smyth aka A Smyth released his second album Hello Goliath via Lover Records on June 13. He joins to talk about previous band Vann Music and feeling "blacklisted" in the music industry. From there, we talk about A Smyth's journey, with a deep focus on songwriting and simply just trying to get better at it. Working with producer Darragh Nolan was key and he also became a dad - how did that affect him personally and musically; he also explains how his son should have a  co-writing credit on the opening track on Hello Goliath. We discuss releasing debut album Last Animals in 2021 and talk through some of the deep tracks on Hello Goliath.

TPOE 357: A Smyth

Fast tambourines, a fire-bright guitar riff, and gang-shout hooks turn “Everything to Live For” into the ultimate crowd-surfer. The track bottles the electric optimism of Dermot Kennedy with the Celtic sparkle of The Corrs, adding heroic strings to a chorus built for stadium sing-alongs. Crafted for Apple Music’s “Breaking Rock” and Peloton playlists alike, its message of seizing the moment will also resonate with sports-brand ads and festival trailers. Curators seeking a feel-good kickoff, place it next to Imagine Dragons’ “On Top of the World.”

Everything to Live For

Lyrics:

[Intro]

(Da- da,
Da, da-da, da-da, da da da)

[Verse]

Darling, I’m 
Falling from my hands to my knees,
Just thinking,
A lot about you, little of me,
Oh child don’t you
Worry about me, 

(You know that)
I’ve been like this since a lil kid,
Tryna,
Do more and just think a lil less,
I found
Myself in my
Head thinking life is
Worth living alone,

You know that I never came back
Cause you never said yes but it’s all still just the same,

[Bridge]
You know - exactly what it is, 
Got your photo on my bedside, that’s right!

[Pre-Chorus]
My my, you’re Tetralysal,
When you hit my skin, you’re just tantalizing, from my

[Bridge]
Photograph on my bedside, that’s right,
You still laugh when I text right? that’s tight!

[Chorus]
You know
Exactly what it is that I want, (yeah you do)
It’s you love, 
Please try not overthink much, (too much)
It’s all that
I’m asking of ya “can ya hold on?” (Can ya hold on?)
Cause you know
Exactly what it is that I want, 

[Outro]
You-oo,
O-o-o-o-oo, (now left side)
O-o-o-o-oo, (right side)
O-o-o-o-oo, (louder)

(1, 2, 3–
I’m just playing, hahaha)

A heartfelt acoustic cover of “Ride On” by Christy Moore. This timeless Irish folk ballad has always carried a deep sense of longing and reflection, and I wanted to honor that emotion with a simple EDM version

TRM (formerly known as The Redneck Manifesto) release their sixth album Grushy via Dublin's Ten Spot Records on Friday, September 5. Comprising seven tracks, they say they found a new creative surge - a different pulse yet from the same wellspring - when making the album. Currently a three piece (though swelling to six when playing live), Niall Byrne, Matty Bolger and Richie Egan have been playing together for nearly 30 years. On the TPOE podcast, Matty and Richie talk about how TRM startted, what the scene in Dublin was like back then, the ideas behind the new album and lots more. 

Richie and Matty also play in Jape, who is part of the Landmarks series at the NCH on Sunday, September 14, where they will perform in full two albums: The Monkeys in the Zoo Have More Fun Than Me (2004) and Ritual (2008), a Choice Prize-winning album. We talk about those two albums, their influence, Floating, and always looking forward even when you're looking back.

The Hill of Tara in Ireland was once the seat of kings, a place where storms of power, spirit, and legend met the land. 🌩️ In Storm over Tara, Orla Callan gives voice to that history - singing of strength, unity, and resilience when the storm gathers overhead.

This is more than a song - it’s a modern Celtic anthem. With driving Irish arpeggios, pounding bodhrán beats, and Orla’s ethereal vocals, Storm over Tara fuses ancient myth with modern EDM energy. It’s a celebration of Irish heritage, a reminder of courage in the storm, and a song to move your body and spirit.

Welcome to Logical Miracle, a project where a lifelong dream meets the cutting edge of technology, brought to life by two passionate creators, one a musician and songwriter, the other an edu tech enthusiast who turns ideas into reality.

Like many, my journey started with big dreams as a child. I imagined myself as a musical genius, learning to play the recorder and later moving on to the violin and guitar. Back then, I had no idea how challenging the music industry could be. As life moved on, new adventures like jobs, holidays, and eventually starting a family took over, and my musical dream slowly faded into the background.

But the story didn’t end there. Over the past 40 years, technology has evolved in incredible ways, creating opportunities that were once unimaginable. Social media has reconnected us with old friends and memories, while AI and music software have revolutionised how we create and share music. The music industry, once an exclusive club, has had to adapt, leaving space for new voices to emerge.

This is where Logical Miracle was born, a collaboration between my love for music and the technical genius of my partner. For years, I wrote poems, not realising they were songs in waiting. Today, with the help of AI, music production software, and my tech-savvy partner, we’ve brought those words to life. The dream of working in a big studio isn’t necessary anymore; with the right tools and expertise, we’re able to create professional-quality music right from home.

Logical Miracle is the result of this collaboration. It’s not just a musical project, it’s a testament to the power of dreams and the possibilities that technology brings. What started as a simple idea has blossomed into something much bigger, a dream shared and fulfilled. Now, it’s time for our music to be heard.

So, whether you’re here to discover something new or to support two dreamers who have turned their passions into reality, we hope you enjoy the music of Logical Miracle. Your feedback means the world to us, if you like what you hear, let us know. And if not, that’s okay too, just be kind in your comments. Either way, we’ll keep creating, inspired by the knowledge that our partnership and technology have made this dream possible.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the world of Logical Miracle.

I’m Orla Callan, a singer-songwriter from Dublin with a love for blending ethereal sounds, folk, and world music. Growing up with musician parents, music has always been my compass. I’m inspired by my Irish roots, travels, and the stories I find along the way. My songs are about exploring the world, embracing its beauty, and getting lost in the magic of sound.

I am a furniture designer and maker with a passion for music and songwriting. While my main profession is in furniture manufacturing, I have been writing lyrics for many years as a creative outlet. My writing is inspired by everyday emotions, personal experiences, and visual aesthetics—often influenced by my design background.

Who Am I?

I grew up in Ballymun, Dublin, back in the 80s. Before I ever set foot in a rave, I was a full-on rocker, blasting 80s rock music day and night. Then came the 90s—and everything changed. My first rave was at the Mansion House, and it flipped my world upside down.

I left that night humming two tracks I’d never forget: Rozalla – Everybody’s Free and 2 Unlimited – Get Ready for This. I was hooked. So hooked, in fact, that I walked straight to Abbey Discs on Abbey Street at 4 a.m. and queued until it opened (yeah, I know—bit of a weirdo). You’d swear it was the Christmas sales or I was queuing for one of those free holidays from Budget Travel.

That morning, I bought my first vinyl records—despite not owning a turntable. All I had was a tape deck. For the next year, I kept buying vinyl with no way to play it, until I finally got my hands on a second-hand mixer and turntable setup (nothing fancy—definitely not Technics).

While in college on Cathal Brugha Street, I kept raving—mainly in Sides DC. In 1993, I moved to Jersey and got my shot as a DJ at Raffles Nightclub. The only mixing I was familiar with at the time was flour, butter, and eggs for pastry. I flopped hard on my first night—and many nights after. But I kept at it. I worked six nights a week between the lights and decks, learning every step of the way.

Eventually, I came back to Ireland and settled in Ennis, where things really took off. I landed the big nights at The Queens Hotel nightclub and then Central Park. Life became a grind: 50–60 hours a week in a restaurant and 4–5 nights behind the decks. I stayed with The Queens Hotel nightclub for 20 years until I finally decided it was time to hang up the headphones. The long hours and late nights had taken their toll—I was done.

But the music bug never really left me. Over the years, I collected studio gear, planning to start making my own tracks. I dived into YouTube tutorials and music production books, teaching myself everything I could.

Then came COVID. Like many, I had a rough time. I had a serious talk with myself—what was I doing? If something happened to me, all this studio gear gathering dust would go to waste. So I made a decision: drop some weight, get healthy, and get back into music production.

Now? I'm back. Making tunes, loving the process, and reconnecting with the passion that’s been part of me for decades.

That me.
