Envy P New Kid

This song is the very first real love song I’ve ever written. It’s taken 35 years and I do hope it’s been worth the wait lol!
Most love songs are written for somebody else in mind but this song deals with self love. And not the type of self love that is ego based. It’s coming from a place of finally accepting who you are as a person and getting to a place contentment, and truly loving thyself, the good and the bad. 

I believe every human is subject to going through times in their lives (or maybe their whole life) of not feeling very self worthy. Perhaps it’s a cultural belief that loving yourself is not ok. Maybe you’ve endured abuse, been bullied, been told you’re ‘Big headed’ if you accept a compliment etc (This all rings true for me personally)
But what does loving yourself ACTUALLY mean? Does anybody ever look in the mirror and be fully satisfied - I don’t think I ever have lol! And I know I’m not alone. But self love really is more than the physical appearance on the outside. Its about accepting all the inner workings of yourself too. It’s hard. 

I fully believe that in order to love somebody else and to give your heart ‘away’ you have to love yourself FIRST! Accept yourself for all that you are. Don’t ever change who you are or strive to put somebody else happiness or well being over your own before you are content in your own skin - otherwise you will take your baggage with you from relationship to relationship (same with friendships, family etc) Nobody has the ability to make you feel ‘whole’. Only you have that power. It sounds selfish but it’s true.

I Love You

Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

See You Soon

In the early 90's, a rotating batch of idealistic musicians formed a band called Guilty Conscience. Driven by songwriters Jim McAllen and Steve McEvoy, they managed to build a small following and played a series of memorable gigs, including Kenny's Castaways, and the world famous CBGB's.
But then, as the song goes,  - somebody quit, somebody got married... 
The band went by the wayside, but the songs endured; in the form of cassettes, sitting in a dusty box for over 20 years, waiting for someone to come along and set them free. 

Fast forward to 2015 - as he was packing up his apartment in anticipation of getting married, Jim came across the box of tapes and discovered an unheard riff, written some 20 years prior by former guitarist John Curran.
Inspired by what he heard, Jim wrote a melody and some lyrics, dedicated to his new wife and the city of his birth. The song, "Long Way from Home" was born. 

After some stops and starts, Jim and Steve, along with old friend Tommy Hoban, set out to record Long Way and some of the older tunes. The result is the Malbone Street project.

Named after a subway train disaster in Brooklyn in 1918, Malbone Street is an honest attempt to breathe life into some old songs that were waiting in the dustbin, yearning to be heard.

Grab the headphones, put aside a few minutes of your day and take a ride down Malbone Street.
