lyrics
Am I awake, or still asleep?
Is this a dream?
I wander through, these corridors
They sing for me
This melody, is still with me
It sets me free
These corridors, these memories
Play that song for me
Somethings wrong, inside of me
Yeah I know, yeah I know, know
But inside me, lives a melody
Sing it low, sing it low, low
Am I awake, or still asleep?
Am I losing me?
But mirrors rest, on these walls
Still looks like me
These locked doors, these melodies
Have I found the keys?
These corridors, they’re who I am
And I’m still me
They think the walls, are closing in
I say no. You’re not listening
These corridors, I hear them sing
They give me life, I start again
Something’s wrong, inside of me
Yeah I know, yeah I know, know
But inside me, lives a melody
That I know, that I know, know
This melody, you won’t take from me
No you won’t, no you won’t, no
In my dreams, lives this melody
Sing it low, sing it low, low

Patrick Mc Eleney grew up in Donegal watching the Atlantic tides come and go.
Over time he has
travelled, collecting words, sketching melodies and experiences. Growing, learning, hurting and healing.
You can hear it in his voice. The introverted honesty he quietly asserts feels colossal in its weight while impossibly intimate in his delivery, forcing himself to rise above deafening self-doubt...more
For Those I Love the album. I can't remember being as impacted by an album before. Can be a slightly tough listen but it's also stunning, wonderful and life affirming Patrick Mc Eleney
