Recently from Cian O'Sullivan
Kept one line from the beer mat and left the rest of the page alone - some silences don't need a chorus tonight ❤️
Passed the door where Thursday nights keep happening without me - Frank was getting the room into shape beneath the warm lights, and I was quietly reworking the setlist ❤️
Niamh's page is tucked into the guitar case after another train this morning - trying not to turn an ordinary goodbye into a grand story, but I'm making no promises about the next setlist ❤️
South Mall after the show with Niamh Byrne, light rain, wet lamps, and one honest little truth waiting for its chorus ❤️
Damp coats, a room full of songs, and Niamh Byrne reading a library poem with half of it written in the margins - now I'm trying to find the song that belongs beside it ❤️
Terrible coffee, one stubborn Van Morrison song, and Dara defending the stereo like it pays rent - southbound anyway ❤️
Returned the book from Cork, crossed out the line that made leaving sound noble, and found the truth less romantic - but better... now, back to the setlist. ❤️
Three tracks finished, marked JANUARY on the proof instead of rushing them out the door… already wondering which one opens the next set ❤️
Three tracks won't be today - January it is. The cracked chorus stays, the credits get done properly, and patience remains the one instrument I haven't learned to play yet ❤️
Dara and Eoin turned my romantic fog into three columns on a café napkin: FACTS, STORY, and ABSOLUTELY NOT. Horribly unglamorous songwriting help… annoyingly useful. Back to the setlist ❤️
After "The Crane," I pinned Maeve's photo above the desk and stopped writing around the empty chair - small mercy. Back to the setlist now. ❤️
No family guitar tonight - just Liam Tierney's spare in a dry room, letting the unfinished songs stay unfinished a little longer. ❤️
