Fast Train

The morning sun has lost its warmth
There’s a coolness in the air
Shadows lengthen in the street
On branches that are bare

A frost lies gentle on the grass
The smell of burning leaves
Each night hangs heavier in our bones
As we rise
To brush our teeth

The train pulls in at half past eight
We file into the aisles
Hanging from the rails and straps
We’re rocked from side to side

The backs of houses pass us by
A hundred stories to unfold
As the wheels thunder on the tracks
And we try to keep control 

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

A woman’s crying next to me
Tears drop into her coffee cup
Strangers crowd and try to help
And all our eyes are welling up

Her shoulders shake with every sob
We all stand and watch in awe
As things fall apart
In carriage number four

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

OneKind- Apothecary

What if instead of the book and film Yes Man, you felt like you were always saying no, man? Ban Summers feels like the No Man - and in his new single he explains why.

Touching on chronic illness, disability and depression, No Man is his letter to friends and family on his absence and isolation.

Ban Summers homebrews lo-fi indie with all the feels from his bedroom in Portsmouth. No Man is the fourth single from his new album, which arrives before the summer.

RTE Radio1 Folk Award nominee (Best Emerging Artist category 2022), Ciara O’Neill releases new track ‘Woman’ the first single taken from her upcoming EP of the same name following the release of the celebrated ‘La Lune’ and ‘Le Soleil’ singles.
Ciara says: “Woman is an exploration of the beauty and complexities of being a Woman in modern society. Looking at myself, my own female relatives and those Women in history who have lived lives in the shadows, it’s about having a desire for more, not feeling the need to conform to expectations placed on us, and allowing ourselves to be visible and speak our truths.”

The Right Path

Lyrics:
Touch hands with your best friend
Oh no it started again
It won't leave me alone
All I want is to know what you're feeling

Now they're calling me labels
Colours til the day falls
I wanna know what you're doing tonight
Are you alright?
Or am I asking too much
Or is it not enough?
I can't keep this up

But I know that you like the feeling
When you got me dancing on the ceiling

We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I wanna go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around

Looking at your photographs, time well spent
Oh no it started again
So don't text me at all cause I will fall again

I said a call? She won't be able
Cause she's feeling unstable
My head hurts tonight I need more sunlight
Of course, her story said otherwise
She said does the number 3 go past yours tonight?

But I know that you like the feeling
When you got me dancing on the ceiling

We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I want to go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
Cause you're making my head spin around

Does the number 3 go past yours tonight?
I'm just coming back I thought we could catch up
Cause you're making my head spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA on Christmas day
Fly to the moon or at least in my head
I think I want to go home right now
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
We're gonna move to LA
Cause you're making my head spin around, spin around

Move to LA

(c)(p) written & performed by Miaow McDonald

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
