    A very limited, Bandcamp Friday special! Pencil not included...

    The Sowing Acorns cassette artwork was created by Grainy Graphics aka Gráinne Fahy and features 5 tracks: the title track from my forthcoming second album Sowing Acorns, recorded, mixed and produced by Chris O'Brien and Graham Murphy, aka The Production Suite, between their Dublin studio and Golden Egg Studios in Laois in 2019; a full reading of Belfast writer Vanessa Ifediora's poem Off-White Sheets which is sampled on the track; remixes by Mayo producer Gráinne Fahy and Belfast producer Arvo Party; and a stripped-back acoustic version.

    The ‘Sowing Acorns’ cassette is a profit-share between me, Arvo Party, Gráinne Fahy and poet Vanessa Ifediora all of whom played key roles in the song's journey.

    Each purchase includes a digital download of the songs too.

about

Here's the track just as I wrote it, solo and acoustic, warts 'n all

lyrics

I've been holding out on you these past nights
Hoping you'd find me yourself before light
Dreams they don’t come to me willingly now
Darkness no comfort, silence no shroud
I have to reason where reason allows
These eyes grow weary now tracing the lines
Counting the cracks in a grey plaster sky
Dreams don't entice them to rest for a while
Dreams are the locked box kept deep in the mind
And some fear what hides behind their own closed eyes

I’ve been sowing acorns in my densely woven mind
I’ve been growing trees from memories for us to climb
And when we reach the top what will we see?
And when we’ve climbed them all what will we dream?
Or will we dream?
Will we dream?


So sleep will come to me now willingly
Peaceful and dreamless will overcome me
Words fade, this jaded mind gives up the fight
Worries and thoughts tangle, twist and unwind
Lost now I drift in this blue black of night

I’ve been sowing acorns in my densely woven mind
I’ve been growing trees from memories for us to climb
And when we reach the top what will we see?
And when we’ve climbed them all what will we dream?
Or will we dream?
Oh, will we dream?
Oh, will we dream?
