I met a Dublin based producer Cian O'Donoghue at one of my gigs and we decided that we wanted to make a song together.
In contrast to the cheerful jingles that dominate the airwaves, our Sad Christmas Song delves into the bittersweet side of the holiday season.
We wanted to explore the quieter, more introspective side of Christmas - the emotions we often keep hidden behind the glittering lights and celebrations.

Sad Winter Song
You show up uninvited
Hot then cold so I’m doubting
And none of my friends are here
And it’s been another year
They say time is a healer
Wouldn’t die on that hill but
Let’s put an end to it all
If you don’t know how to let go
Myself
I’m gonna do it myself
None of my bodily cells
Will let me give in to another reason
I’m sad
I’m so impossibly sad
Nothing to be done or said
Guess that’s so much for the merry season
You grow out of bad manners
Making them just a memory
That’s bringing you back to me
And people we used to be
You show up and I have to
Eat my words cold and heavy
And wait for the grass to grow
Cause you don’t know how to let go
