Sleep in Your Peace

This powerful and emotionally charged duet captures the heart-wrenching plea for the return of hostages. The song begins with a haunting piano introduction, setting the tone for a deeply moving narrative that speaks of empty chairs, untouched rooms, and the unrelenting hope of waiting families. Through dramatic vocal harmonies and orchestral crescendos, it builds from intimate verses to an anthemic chorus demanding "Bring them home now!" The male and female vocals interweave throughout, representing the collective voice of all families and communities united in their call. The song culminates in an emotional climax, embodying both the pain of separation and the unwavering determination for reunion.

Bring Them Home Now

[Verse]
Lord do you hear my quiet prayer
Lost in the shadow of my despair
Faith flickers in the candle's glow
Guide me to where the rivers flow

[Verse 2]
Angels sing sweet above the storm
Their voices warm me keep me from harm
In this world of chaos and noise
Help me find peace and hear your voice

[Chorus]
Lord do you hear my whispered plea
Lift me above waves of misery
With every tear hope starts to grow
Give me strength to face tomorrow

[Verse 3]
In this waiting room of grace and time
I search for reason in the divine
Every heartache every sigh
Holds a lesson to sanctify

[Bridge]
Like a symphony of silent vows
Each note a promise in sacred shrouds
Though the night may seem so long
Your love is the everlasting song

[Chorus]
Lord do you hear my whispered plea
Lift me above waves of misery
With every tear hope starts to grow
Give me strength to face tomorrow

Lord, Do You Hear

Can You Hear Me

Lyrics:

I can't live every day in fear of me losing my fear that's keeping me here
I'm stuck in a cycle year after year, where I wanna drown away in my tears
I can't live on my own, I want someone, please hold me so
I'd rather fade away than be alone, I need someone to hold me close

Most days now, I'm stuck in place
I'm keeping a mask plastered on my face
But lately, I've been so out in space
I'm coming in last in the daily race
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my time
I'm losing my sanity, I'm going blind
I'm losing my tears, I'm losing my fears
I'm losing every ounce of me that keeps me here

I just wanna be alone, but I don't wanna be on my own
I want someone to hold me close, I wanna have someone give me hope

I can't live every day in fear of me losing my fear that's keeping me here
I'm stuck in a cycle year after year, where I wanna drown away in my tears
I can't live on my own, I want someone, please hold me so
I'd rather fade away than be alone, I need someone to hold me close

Most days now, I lie awake
Insomnia keeps me up until daybreak
Lately I feel I need a break
From all the friends in my head that I can't shake
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my time
I'm losing my sanity, I'm going blind
I'm losing my tears, I'm losing my fears
I'm losing every ounce of me that keeps me here

I just wanna be alone, but I don't wanna be on my own
I want   someone to hold me close, I wanna have someone give me hope

I can't live every day in fear of me losing my fear that's keeping me here
I'm stuck in a cycle year after year, where I wanna drown away in my tears
I can't live on my own, I want someone, please hold me so
I'd rather fade away than be alone, I need someone to hold me close

Hold Me Close (Prod. RFM Beats)

“Shadows of Me” started as a raw sketch, just voice and chords, written in a moment where I felt the weight of judgment, putting on a mask, and then breaking down into the truth: all I really want is for someone to care.

Right now it’s simple, but the vision is to build it into something bigger: long vocal holds, harmonies that push and pull, and instrumental layers that mirror the arc — fragile at the start, defiant in the middle, and desperate by the end.

It’s a song about hiding behind “I don’t care,” and the release that comes when you finally admit, “please just care.”

Thanks for listening to this early version and being part of where it’s headed.

Take me home, 
find a way
Take me out 
Hear me call into the eve

You might see
The shadows of me
Fly through the air
I act like I care

There are pieces of me
Falling to the ground
See if I care
Oh don’t you dare
Don’t, oh don’t you, don’t you care

There are pieces of me
Falling to the ground
See if I care 
Oh don’t you dare
Don’t, oh don’t you, don’t you care
Please just care

Shadows of Me

"See Me!" is a haunting, slow-burning soul track that delves into the heartbreaking isolation of being misunderstood. The song is a plea for validation from a loved one who seems unable to look past a single mistake, eclipsing devotion and care. With a dim, melancholic backdrop and a soulful vocal performance, it explores the raw pain of having your soul "painted with colours of the past" while standing "unseen" in the present. This track is a powerful journey through regret, unconditional love, and the desperate hope that the echoes of the past can finally fade.

[Verse 1]
Underneath the soft glow of the moonlit sky,
I thought we had it all, love like a lullaby.
But whispers in the dark took you by surprise,
Moments lost in laughter turned to echoes, now I sigh.
Remember the nights we danced until dawn?
Each touch felt electric, but now it feels wrong.
A heart once so open, now caught in the grind,
You bring up the shadows that chill in your mind.

[Chorus]
And I would’ve given you everything, my dear,
But a voice in the night has filled you with fear.
Thought you knew me well, thought love would last,
Now you’re painting my soul with colours of the past.
The words spoken lightly, in a moment of cheer,
Are haunting your heart, turning love to despair.

[Verse 2]
I see you frowning, the spark in your eyes dimmed,
Once filled with brightness, now feels like a sin.
That night of mistakes, just a moment of pride,
Yet here we are now, with your heart full of doubt inside.
How could you overlook all the smiles, the care?
The love that we built, like castles in air.
Every promise I made, they danced on the breeze,
But now they’re just whispers that bring you to your knees.

[Chorus]
And I would’ve given you everything, my dear,
But a voice in the night has filled you with fear.
Thought you knew me well, thought love would last,
Now you’re painting my soul with colours of the past.
The words spoken lightly, in a moment of cheer,
Are haunting your heart, turning love to despair.

[Bridge]
I’d lay my soul bare to erase this dark stain,
If only you’d hold me through the joy and the pain.
But echoes keep ringing in the silence between,
Trapped in your head, while I stand here unseen.
Let’s look past the shadows, the stormy weather,
Find the shining heart from the love we tethered.
If you could just see through the hurt and the tears,
You’d find I’m still with you, embracing the years.

[Outro]
So here’s my heart, waiting under the stars,
Hoping you’ll see me, despite all the scars.
Let the echoes fade softly, return to the light,
Let’s rewrite our story, together, and right.
With every beat of my heart, I’ll keep loving you near,
Let’s silence the echoes and bring back the cheer.

See Me!

"Don't Let Those Words Define Who I Am" is a raw, heart-on-sleeve soul ballad that aches with regret and the desperate plea for a second chance. Set against a slow, emotional backdrop, the track confronts the devastation of having a relationship defined by one moment of weakness—a careless phrase or a lapse in judgment.

The song is a confession and a protest, questioning how a loved one can erase years of shared joy and devotion based on a single mistake. It’s an intimate exploration of the distance created by doubt, as the vocalist desperately asks to be seen again as "the man that you loved, the one with a plan," not just the shadow of a forgotten night. This track is for anyone who has ever felt their "heart laid bare" only to have their identity reduced to a fleeting flaw.

[Verse 1]
We shared our laughter under skies so blue,
Late nights talking 'bout dreams, just me and you.
But shadows crept in on that fateful night,
When I let my guard down, lost in the light.
A drink too many, my heart felt so free,
But words slipped from my lips, didn't mean to be mean.
You looked at me different, a spark turned to ash,
As I saw the trust fade, like a whispering flash.

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let those words define who I am,
The man that you loved, the one with a plan.
I gave you my all, my heart laid bare,
Yet now you reflect on my foolish despair.
What you think of me now, it cuts like a knife,
Those moments of weakness, they haunted my life.

[Verse 2]
We walked on the edge of love's gentle flame,
Hand in hand, through the joy, through the pain.
But echoes of laughter turned to whispers of doubt,
You shifting in silence, I could feel you pull out.
In the depth of your eyes, I saw a wall rise,
Each word of regret like a storm in disguise.
I tried to explain, but the damage was done,
The love we had slowly came undone.

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let those words define who I am,
The man that you loved, the one with a plan.
I gave you my all, my heart laid bare,
Yet now you reflect on my foolish despair.
What you think of me now, it cuts like a knife,
Those moments of weakness, they haunted my life.

[Bridge]
I can't erase the shadows of nights I regret,
But the person you knew is still here, don’t forget.
Every laugh we shared, every tear that we cried,
Shows a love that was real, not a weakness we hide.
I wish you could see beyond the mistakes,
Because my heart still beats for all of your takes.
In the quiet of dusk, where our memories swayed,
Let the sunshine in, let love not fade.

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let those words define who I am,
The man that you loved, the one with a plan.
I gave you my all, my heart laid bare,
Yet now you reflect on my foolish despair.
What you think of me now, it cuts like a knife,
Those moments of weakness, they haunted my life.

[Outro]
So here we stand on this new, lonely road,
Trying to nurse the wounds, carry the load.
I hope you find clarity in time's gentle grace,
Because I'll always cherish the love we embraced.
Though it's hard to move on when your heart's in the dark,
Know that you were my light, my still, precious spark.

Don't Let Those Words Define who I Am

An intimate and haunting piece confronting the violence of war against the defenseless. Echoing synth textures shape the verses with fragile delicacy, while a burst of British-rock energy ignites the chorus. It’s a song of loss, fear, and the desperate search for a father’s voice — a plea for love amid the flames.

I am an author, arranger, and bassist. Crafting my music within the confines of my home studio, I intertwine influences from diverse genres. Each of my albums embarks on a unique journey through different musical landscapes, narrating a distinctive tale:

    Swing, despite its title, resonates with Funky inspiration and delves into the construction of interpersonal relationships.
    Love comprises ballads and traverses the theme of love, exploring it through various nuances and perspectives.
    Deeptown is imbued with Pop-Rock essence, addressing the intricacies of the human psyche, particularly in urban contexts.
    RH^, with a more Indie approach, serves as a humble tribute to Peter Gabriel, embodying an intimate quest for hidden truths.

Music takes me to new worlds. Life is the best teacher. Writing about life is a challenge and experience is what guides me. Loves, pains, disappointments, sadness, joy, despair, hope, melancholy, happiness, all these feelings burn in my veins and make me create.
You all welcome to follow my journey.

Switching from journaling to poetry and now lyrics for songs. A natural evolution for my experiences and reflections. Turning experiences, emotions, events and reflections into lyrics is a therapeutic process for me. My career path has given me a keen interest in human and social psychology, both in myself and others, which is reflected in some of my themes. The lyrics are my own but as I am not a performer I use AI to generate the music and vocals to provide an example of how I interpret the songs. As with any composed lyrics they are open to the interpretation of the performer.

The Architect of the Well: My Argument for Creative Integrity
As a songwriter and author, I have always believed that the heart of a song resides in its narrative DNA. My lyrics are my own; they are heartfelt, personal, and born from the salt and granite of my own experience. They are the "truth" I draw from An Tobár—the well of my heritage.
When I use Artificial Intelligence, I do not see it as a replacement for the artist. I see it as a digital session band.

The Lyric is the Master
In my process, the lyric is the primary source. Just as a poet remains the owner of a poem regardless of who recites it, I remain the architect of the song. AI cannot feel the "stony grey soil" of a Monaghan field or the mist on the Twelve Bens; it can only reflect the instructions I give it. The soul of the work is locked in the ink before the first note is ever generated.

The Art of the Veto
There is a fear in the industry that AI is a "push-button" solution. For me, it is an exercise in infinite interpretation. I often have a specific "ear" for how a song should sound—a certain grit, a particular lilt, or a haunting resonance. I might generate dozens of versions, rejecting them one by one because they lack the "mouth-feel" that I intend. My integrity lies in that selection. I am the conductor, the director, and the final judge. I only settle on the version that resonates with the truth of my words.

A Tool for the Modern Pilgrim
I consider my use of AI no different than choosing a specific guitar or inviting a friend to provide feedback on a melody. It is a tool for development. By "tuning" the algorithm to respect the phonetics and the pace of my tradition, I am ensuring that the technology serves the culture, rather than the other way around.
My journey is one of self-searching. I admire the greats like Kavanagh not by imitating their tools, but by mirroring their honesty. Whether my "interpretation" is played by a five-piece band or a neural network, the signature is mine. The heart remains human. The words remain "Naked."
