Private Playground is the 11th track from the album 'Advice To The Wayfarer' (2014). All parts by Rowan Galagher except for the electric piano which was written and performed by E.D.

Lyrics:

And I fear it’s been too long between 
The breaths I need 
That my minds already gone

Hold on to me
I’m alright if I can be with you again
You’re like Oxygen
And I’ll be alright
If I can hold you tight

And I hear a sound beyond serene
As the tides recede 
I can finally breathe

Underwater towns 
Suffocated me til now
You turn the world into our own 
Private playground

In the hold of the oceans bitter cold
I’ve been pulled to shore
Revived, clothed and cared for

I never knew of a land 
Where lungs were used
Life’s been a centrifuge
But the spinning stops with you

Underwater towns 
Suffocated me til now
You turn the world into our own 
Private playground

Can't Go Home

Edge of Empty

Run away with me

From the heart of post-britpop and protest rock comes "Revolution." This track channels a restless spirit, dreaming of change and refusing to bow down to "engines of greed." It's a powerful statement for our times.

Revolution

“Leaving” is an alternative rock track driven by a hypnotic electric guitar riff that loops like a restless memory. Supported by punchy live drums and a steady, melodic bassline, the track slowly builds in layers – with airy synths and subtle piano weaving in as it unfolds. The result is a spacious, atmospheric sound with echoes of early-2000s indie rock — moody, melodic, and cinematic.

For fans of: early Coldplay, Interpol, The National, Snow Patrol, or anything that sounds like dusk settling in.

Leaving

Don’t need you to understand
I breathe in my own rhythm
No need to hold my hand
That’s enough for me
That’s enough for me

You want a simple label
To sort what’s in my head
But I’m not made for boxes
I’m chaos wrapped in thread
A beautiful f-f-feedback loop
Just trying to be true
So keep your simple answers
I don’t need them from you

It’s okay if you don’t see
(don’t see, don’t see)
I’m not hiding, I’m just me
It’s okay if you don’t see
(don’t see, don’t see)
I’m still shining underneath

Yeah it’s okay
It’s okay if you don’t see

Glitching through your system
I move the way I breathe
You try to track my patterns
But you’re not tuned to me
I live in other wavelengths
Out of sight, out of phase
So when I drift away
Just know I’m not afraid

I’m vibrating at a parallax
That you don’t understand
I’m stardust in a feedback loop
You couldn’t ever plan
So don’t try to define me
I’m not here to explain
I’m light and sound and silence
And I’m dancing through the rain

It’s okay if you don’t see
(don’t see, don’t see)
I’m not made for clarity
It’s okay if you don’t see
(don’t see, don’t see)
Still I move so gracefully
Yeah it’s okay
It’s okay
It’s okay if..
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay

Not broken
Not too much
Just different
A different truth
I'm letting all my colors show
I finally found the room to grow

I'm still here
I'm still here
I am still free

It’s okay
It’s okay if you don’t see
It's okay, I’m just me
It’s okay
It’s okay
It’s okay if you don't see

Understand myself

Singer/songwriter/guitarist making alt-folk, baroque psychedelia & art rock. Neurodivergent, optimist, anarchist, avid gardener, former graphic designer & aspiring sound engineer. 

Combining 60s psychedelia, alternative folk, art rock, baroque pop and gothic post-punk, The Mad Pride has been described as haunting & ominous like a Tim Burton film soundtrack made by Syd Barrett & David Bowie. Reviewers have made comparisons to Radiohead, Midlake, Meat Puppets, David Sylvian, Erik Satie, Frank Zappa, Nick Cave & even Leonard Cohen. 

The Mad Pride is a reference to the movement “MAD PRIDE” which aims to increase awareness about neurodiversity, the mental healthcare system, psychiatric survivors and the rampant epidemic of ableist abuse targeting vulnerable people.

It began as a fun idea to make demo recordings of my original songs in case I forgot them. Slowly it transformed into a solo home recording project that allowed me to explore a mysterious and exciting place. An almost physical place that is beyond “sound” and “music”. Beyond the superficial vibrations forming the medium and through the emotional catharsis that makes up the message we find ourselves arriving at the only logical conclusion. That only one path leads away from a devastating nightmarish future. It doesn’t lead to riches and it doesn’t lead to Rome. It leads to a revolution of love.

I don’t know the landmarks (or genres as you call them) but I’m certain we can build something wonderful there. I lack the music theory that empowers and homogenises so many others but it’s alright because I’ve made my own. It doesn’t have words, just feelings. A sprawling landscape of emotions that I can scarcely even describe – except through song, My real name is Rowan Galagher but feel free to call me Rosie. 

My first 4 albums are free to download on Soundcloud. I’m currently finishing my 5th album, an endeavour which was delayed for over a decade while the rental crisis vanquished the physical spaces I would have used to write and record. Despite the greed-fuelled delay, I’m finally back in my happy place. A happy place built out of excessive trauma and hopes for positive cultural change. It’s like a messed up “Koom by yah” accompanied by a wood-chipper and a sad clown with a kazoo.

"If you mix the elements from Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Syd Barrett and Radiohead, you’ll get this music, in the most creative way."

“Psychedelic 60s gone noir cabaret with 80s goth production: watery guitars, icy keys and vintage Bowie-esque vocals.” 
- Delarue - New York Music Daily

“I recently came across some incredible stuff… The songs bear some resembles to Syd Barret, Tom Waits, Nick Cave or Cohen, this is interesting stuff for sure… I’m posting this because I think it’s worth it.”
- Netanderthalian – Grateful Breed Blog – A Psychedelicious Corner

"The Mad Pride is a good example of Folk Noir (“dark folk”) that also plays with some late 60′s dark psychedelic folk melodies. Galagher has been compared to Syd Barrett and the comparison is apt." 
- Matt Coleman - The Music Court Blog

“The variety here is amazing. The songs run the range from soft, almost acoustical to moody and experimental enough to be the sound track to a Tim Burton movie. They each push the limits of their genre. Be sure and listen to them all as they are very different and there is sure to be something you really like.”
- Jane W – fanrealm.com

“Rowan Galagher’s music is amazing. One minute it has you thinking “Pink Floyd” the next something entirely different. There is an ebb and flow to it that makes The Mad Pride beautiful to listen to.”
- Paddy – Only Australian Music Blog Archive

“Touches of the fragile detachment of Radiohead and a spectrum of dramatic emotion all take up residence under an ominous sky."
- Mr Atavist – Sunrise Ocean Bender

Sound gives voice to the parts of my mind that are otherwise left on mute. 💜 My goal is to connect through music. 🔗
