She Drives Me Crazy
by Fine Young Cannibals

Lyrics:
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do - don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

He drives me Crazy

He Drives Me Crazy

Recorded on 4-track cassette in late Summer 2007, in Blackrock, Co. Dublin.

The guitar and one of the vocal layers was recorded on the same tape recorder as the previous track, I think in 2007 in Blackrock. Written the previous year when I was in Edinburgh though. Overdubs done around 2010.

Tears Of Gasoline

Brother

This song is a powerful country anthem that takes a stand against the unrealistic standards women face, especially on social media, as they age. The lyrics speak directly to the pressures of being judged and criticized, while reinforcing the strength and independence of women who refuse to be defined by others’ expectations. An unapologetic declaration of self-worth and resilience, the bright country pop feel is driven by a powerful drum track and guitar parts, carefully building with the intensity as the song unfolds. The mood shifts in the bridge, softening with the inclusion of strings and shimmering synths, offering a vulnerable, reflective moment before building back into a triumphant power ballad, leaving listeners with a sense of victory and pride. This is a song that champions female empowerment, resilience, and the refusal to conform to society's narrow view of beauty and success.

To Grow Old

“January Eleven” was composed on January 11, 2025, while devastating fires were raging near the Los Angeles area. On that day, a displaced family found refuge in my home, their spirits unwavering despite uncertain circumstances. Their optimism stood in stark contrast to the looming threat of the flames, reminding me how quickly our comforts can slip away. This neoclassical solo piano piece channels the turmoil into a soothing, reflective sound, evoking both the fragility of our possessions and the strength of a community that unites in times of crisis. It’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of compassion.

January Eleven

A song I wrote after the death of my sister who we lost in just six weeks after a cancer diagnosis in 2020.

Always Near(demo)

Always Near

This song was written years ago at a time in my life when I was tired of holding on to the self doubt I had about myself or the outside “Noise” from people who didn’t believe in me. It was a message to myself of finally letting go of people’s opinions. It also expressed how I was reflecting on myself and how I just “didn’t care anymore”. I was just wanting to let it all go.
