So It Is 04:31
Standing in the arches, Brought home from your pose, I can hear distant marches, My thoughts become my foes, Divis tower lights,  divide the concrete, She has me in a snare,  dare I stay to my last beat. It’s always this way, when she, smiles It’s always this way, when she, smiles Standing in my sketches,  brought home from Marchmount,  the borrowed rope etches,  the days I don’t shave to count Divis tower lights,  divide the concrete, She has me in a snare,  dare I stay to my last beat. It’s always this way, when she, smiles It’s always this way, when she, smiles

On a doorway, Still as man, Who only haunts, Twice a primal roar, Escapes my voice, As I release all my fear. A child of innocence, My stature falls Awaken the streets, Because they don’t sleep, There’s contempt, Not concern, Awaken the streets Because I don’t sleep. Torn away, From every turn he takes, She sleeps alone, She sleeps with two, Shards of her heart and fight, September Shades. Awaken the streets, Because they don’t sleep, There’s contempt, Not concern, Awaken the streets Because I don’t sleep. I can’t ever forget, Won’t ever forget
3.
Your eyes say farewell, Eclipse her womb, Strangers faces, In this empty room The past is a dye, That has been cast, Only showing, Mistakes that last. Friends unrequited, Footsteps I assume, To these lighted streets, Some call home Temptation fakes, Desire so well, I’m just waiting on the wine to clear Friends unrequited, Footsteps I assume, To these lighted streets, Some call home

Some Days 04:44
As an anchor, This ground I stand, For my own, The clove, the hitch and the eye, As the mother and her child, Some words, upon a wall, Bleached parchment, the ink it falls. Somedays we Harbour, thoughts as we’ve grown Somedays we Harbour, thoughts as we’ve grown I can’t see I can’t know Somedays we Harbour, thoughts as we’ve grown Somedays we Harbour, thoughts as we’ve grown

about

The four song EP showcases the songwriting and creative abilities of Seamus Allen, Kieran Fitzgerald and Nora Frederich. The opening track “So It Is”, an epic radio friendly crowd pleaser with a catchy chorus melody; is followed by “Never Forget”, a song driven by a memorable riff based guitar arpeggio. After demonstrating the more upbeat side of Elbé, “The Lives of Others” shows a more reflective and emotional side of the artist. The final song “Some Days” begins with a hypnotic trip-hop-esque drum beat which relentlessly builds into an intoxicating explosive ending.
