A special song, with evocative vocals within a compelling instrumental setting...

Breaking Out is the remarkable story of Cork born singer-songwriter Fergus O’Farrell, the charismatic voice of Interference, one of the most compelling and influential bands to emerge from the Irish music scene in the 1990’s. He was best known for his timeless song “GOLD” which featured in the soundtrack to ONCE, the Oscar winning film and multi-Tony-award-winning musical.

Despite being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a young age, through it all, Fergus had to keep singing. His unique talent and love for life inspired a generation of songwriters even as his own was slipping away. Close friend Glen Hansard was one of those songwriters and never forgot that voice, and in one of the many incredible moments in Breaking Out, he performs the ultimate duet as Fergus' greatest gift was failing. 

Hailed by Film Ireland as “extraordinary”, this intimate journey into the heart and soul of the late Fergus O’Farrell was filmed over ten years by director Michael McCormack.

Film Ireland Presents:  Michael McCormack, Director of Breaking Out

About searching for that place of transcendence, the somewhere on that subliminal plane where inspiration emanates... An associative, allusive song. Whirlwind-like...  Vocals, violins, double bass and guitar uniquely blending.

Strap me into the Song
(Song for Fergus O‘Farrell Irish Musician)

O strap me, strap me into the song;
Let me play among its words, where I belong.
Let me leave my sighs and moans
Touch its needy, secret zones,
O strap me, strap me into the song.
Leave me, leave me there among its tones;
Let me play upon its strings, upon its bones.
Let my mouth be filled with praise
For the soul this song might raise
To the heights my frightened breath caresses and hones.

1st Chorus
I have no choice, it calls me in
To lie in its flood where I’ll bathe;
I know when I touch it, we’ll both begin
To fulfil every promise we made.
So strap me, strap me where the music soars.
Leave me, like a wave reaching its shores;
O and if its moon be full, I will answer to that pull
When you strap me, strap me into the song;

O lay me beneath the deep notes of its stave,
Let me climb each tone, the melody I crave
Let it touch my soul, my tears, 
Quell my anguish, sooth my fears
When you strap me, strap me into the song.
Tonight, love, beneath the rhythm of this heart
May your breath be where the melody might start,
Let it soar to where I’m lain 
Without motion, without pain,
Till your touch ignites the music of this heart.  

2nd Chorus
Love calls to love, a  serenade,
It’s a whisper that’s gentle and clear,
It matters not, how the song was made,
Just so long as it touches me here. 
So strap me, strap me where the music soars.
Leave me, like a wave reaching its shores;
O and if its moon be full, I will answer to that pull
When you strap me, strap me into the song;
O when you strap me, strap me into the song. —

Fuck Yourself

I’m simultaneously loving, working, bringing children to bed.
I’m cooking, gardening, hovering, pissing, calling students, cleaning dishes.
Colour gradations of grey.
I’m simultaneously losing my mind.
This is Corona my friend. Fuck Yourself Fuck!

It’s your turn with the children. Playing worlds in pure repetition.
Stacks of homeworks growing steadily, clouds of dust sailing around me.
Home was once the place to be.
I’m simultaneously losing my mind.
This is Corona my friend. Fuck Yourself Fuck!

Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Corona my friend.

When your mum is getting angry and your father’s alone.
I’m outside in the garden. My plants agree. 
We don’t need nobody. Never have someone really.

I’m simultaneously hoping. Fearing this freak might bring us down.
Don’t touch nobody! Clean yourself up! If you breathe you better breathe out.
Growing claustrophobia.

I’m simultaneously losing my mind.
This is Corona my friend. 


Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself Fuck!
Fuck Yourself Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck You!
Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck Yourself, Fuck You!

Fuck Yourself

Singer/songwriter currently based in Czech republic. Creative soul who loves writing songs that have a meaning. Current situation has impacted all the gigs and events I was supposed to be involved in. I added a Bandcamp link where you can purchase all three released singles or place a preorder to the debut EP that I managed to finish before all this arrived. Thank you so much!
