Track #1: I'll Be Back

"I wrote this song because I wanted to bottle up that feeling of nostalgia. For me this is it, hints of Irish heritage, but also feeling that excitement of moving somewhere else because you know deep down that this is the right path for you."

I'll be back
I'm sorry I had to leave The place that we call home I know the man you want me to be But I can't be him so I'll go The mountains reach so high But my heart, it feels so low Had so much hope in the beginning I think it's time for me to grow It's never too late to start over again You need some help this time Just reach out your hand I'll be back someday Don't count me out just yet Remember what I said The day we're no longer apart I'll fill my heart with love again For now it's farewell To the place I know so well To those I love and those who care I make this promise in some way I'll come back some day See I'm in love with the homeland But still in love with something new And after years of finding myself I started writing something true Cause it's never too late to start over again You need some help some time Just reach out your hand I'll be back someday Don't count me out just yet Remember what I said The day we're no longer apart I'll fill my heart with love again For now it's farewell To the place I know so well To those I love and those who care I make this promise in some way I'll come back some day

Your Hometown

What does home mean to you? And where do you feel most at home right now?

I left Ireland to move to London at the age of 18. There will be always something special about going back to the place where you grew up.

The people, the food, culture. Whether you decide to stay there or leave, that sense of familiarity is something you can’t replicate easily.

I grew up in the town of Derry, Northern Ireland. You’ll find beautiful landscapes, warm people and lots of great musicians.

They even made a show about the place due it’s history and unique culture, called ‘Derrygirls’.

Track #2: Adored By You

Aah… Adored by You. What can I say? This one is just all about the feelings you get when you are thinking of that special someone. And just like the last track, I bottled this up into a song.

Conor McLain · Adored By You

Growing up, I used to sing in church and I wanted to incorporate some of this into the ending of the song. I also love the sound of a gospel choir, so I thought why not include a bit of that type of energy into this track.

Adored by You
People can make you feel so blue But some people can make you feel like new, that's you And every time I catch you staring at me It's the only time I find it hard to speak And all my friends around the world, although they try Can make me feel unheard, but you give me more Yeah, all my friends around the world, although they try Can make me feel unheard, but you give me more, you make me feel adored I feel it on a Monday, a Tuesday Maybe even Wednesday, right through to Sunday Monday, a Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday Right through to Sunday Yeah, I feel good and I feel new when I'm adored by you Days, they roll by when I'm with you (Roll by, roll by, roll by, roll by) But it's been so long, and you've moved on On to better things (Mmmm) And I know it's only a matter of time 'Til I see you again And we do things we might regret And all my friends around the world, although they try Can make me feel unheard, but you give me more Yeah, all my friends around the world, although they try Can make me feel unheard, but you give me more, you make me feel adored I feel it on a Monday, a Tuesday Maybe even Wednesday, right through to Sunday Monday, a Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday Right through to Sunday Yeah, I feel good and I feel new when I'm adored by you (Guitar Solo) But you give me more, you make me feel adored (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, right through to Sunday x 6) Yeah, yeah, yeah 'Cause I am proud, you know I'm proud, proud, proud I am proud, to say I adore you (Ohh, you know I'm proud) Said I am proud, you know I'm proud, proud, proud ('Cause I am proud) I am proud, to say I adore you (Ohh, you know I'm proud) Said I am proud, you know I'm proud, proud, proud ('Cause I am proud) I am proud, to say I adore you
