about

This song was written in 2020 after I found out that someone I went to school with had passed away after a battle with mental health issues.

I was thinking about it for a few days and wasn't sure what else I could do, so I wrote a song to remember.

The great Irish jazz singer Aoife Doyle lent her vocal chords from Co Clare via the internet - sending me a perfect take of the melody recorded at her home.

lyrics

They run by
I can't sleep
Tortured souls
meant to keep
me awake
and you asleep

is beyond reach

Try my best

kids outside
shout back my thoughts
hard to know
if they are real
real or not
I hope they stop

It's a fine life
in my dreams
'til they fall
and then it seems
like a star
exploding
