Really good songs and great production. Arrangements and playing top moth as well. Vocals are too notch I hear kind of a Jeff Buckley vibe to the singing Favorite track: The Flood.

The Flood 04:49
The Flood Verse Blackbird on high, strays far from home A look to his face that says leave me alone Where does he fly? What’s left behind? The world in his eyes under burnt orange skies Blackbird on high Strays far from home Blackbird on high Leave him alone Chorus The bridges set ablaze, engulfed in the sea of flames The night’s cries dissipate beneath the crackling fire’s rage The hilltop’s scorched remains, a scent that can’t be erased What’s left, turn your tail, fly away black bird, fly away. Verse Blackbird rests now where none could throw stone Ocean’s lay still between he and his home Where does he lie? What’s left behind? Under silence of night on the wind hear his cry Blackbird rests now None could throw stone Blackbird rests now Leave him alone

When You’re Gone Verse 1. Gone, gone away, just beep beep and a wave, then you leave. Steal my heart for the day, in the passenger side heading down the motorway, where it’s safe. By your side it will stay Chorus. I know ohhh I’ll see you end of day And I know ohhh you’ll not let my heart break Yes I know ohhh but its got me spinning out All alone ooohhh when you’re gone Verse 2. Gone, gone away, see life drains from each vein so don’t be late. Yes, we all need a wage but it’s costing me each time you take my heart to that place. Stay with me and by your side I’ll remain

Mirror Mirror Verse 1. The devil must have taken my eyes cause all I see in front of me I despise. Reflection taints this silver glass, salt stained skin framed in brass. The devil must have taken your ears, defended them to my cries ‘cause all you do is help to feed my fears. Each word shackles and chains, locked in a gaze, alone… Bridge Alone Alone Chorus Mirror, mirror by the door, by the door, where I once saw a son before. The apple of a father’s eye who’s only limit was the sky. Husband, best friend, a lion to cubs, protector, provider, the one she loves. Mirror, mirror by the door, by the door, where is this man I once stood before. Verse 2. The devil must have stolen my words, this acid tongue a mask for the hurt Burns deep, flesh to the bone, nothing spared, no scraps for the crows. The devil must have control my mind these thoughts corrupting leaving nowhere to hide. Forever trapped by the frame, locked in a gaze, alone… Bridge Alone Alone

Rain 04:42
Rain Verse 1 She sits by the bedside awaiting a call No she’s not expecting, just needs to talk But not for the rain that patters on pane, But not for the rain she would hear nothing. As frail as an Autumn leaf awaiting the cold Just a voice in the wind could break the hold But not for the rain that patters on pane, But not for the rain she would hear nothing. PreChorus Round and round, fall asleep, one day into next Don’t knock on the door Round and round, not a peep, mama needs her rest She’ll be good in the morn Chorus And so calling into the air “I need you” “I need you” Calling into the air “I need you” “I need you” Lost in the night, a scream now a whisper Verse 3. The tears have dried up, not one more will fall Just cracks in her skin like the paint flaked walls But not for the rain that's pelting her frame, But not for the rain she would feel nothing.

about

Alan Donnelly Wexford, Ireland

My name is Alan Donnelly and I am a solo artist from Limerick, Ireland but living in Wexford, Ireland. When it comes to my "style" of music expect music made up of more haunting melodies and dark lyrics, but there's also some more playful, tongue-in-cheek tracks to sink your teeth into! If you like what you hear follow us on the socials and playlist me on Spotify! ;) ... more
