I'm so tired Tired and blue I work Christmas time Every year Just to get us through But everything, everything Makes sense when I'm with you It's all crystal clear, crystal clear Before it turns back blue Ahhhhhhhhh Ooooohhhhh I'm so tired Tired and blue So tired Tired of you So tired Tired of you So tired Tired and blue

about

All proceeds to Peter McVerry Trust.
All purchases of this song include a bonus track 'Christmas is in your Heart'.

'So Tired' is NOT a Christmas song. It's a song about end of year exhaustion that happens to reach its apex during the festive season.

Everything will be alright in the end though because there is someone looking out for you, keeping you from falling off the edge, keeping you smiling throughout the many hardships thrown your way, again and again.

"Everything, everything makes sense when I'm with you, it's all crystal clear, crystal clear, before it turns back blue"

A mantra for 2020 So Tired is a brief pause of reflection, a sigh of frustration and resignation at the mundanity of this most repetitive year. The constant bleep of the check out, the condensation fogging the bus window shuttling you home to a brief sense of warmth before the cycle begins again.

Employing the help of super-producer Ruáiri Lynch aka Bantum (Loah, Royal Yellow, Le Boom) to give it a more mechanical, industrious sound. It echoes the lives of those on the production line, the shelf-stacker, the nurses and carers. The lives of those that were once deemed unskilled workers that society has now realised are our key workers. 2020 has been the year of the front line, the bottom line and the end of the line. If there is hope, it is in the abandonment of a society fuelled by self-interest. Take care of yourself and each other.

Following in a long lineage of bands with songs called 'So Tired' ( The Beatles, Fugazi, Nap Eyes, Ozzy Osbourne), the influences for this track lie closer to Matt Berninger, Michael Stipe and Fiona Apple.

A solo effort, with a lot of help and community spirit.
