about

All proceeds from the purchase of this single will be donated to The Good Shepherd Centre and Ossory Youth's Counselling Service in Kilkenny City.

Getting Colder is the culmination of nine 2-hour Zoom sessions with a group of young musicians from Ossory Youth in Kilkenny. Everything you hear was recorded by the group on their phones and then sent to the project's facilitator and producer Jeremy Hickey, aka R.S.A.G. Local songwriter, Feibhár, joined the group as co-facilitator and gave fantastic songwriting workshops getting something very special from this group of local talented young musicians.

lyrics

Getting colder
People bolder
We’ll survive this
Shoulder to shoulder
Shoulder to shoulder

I wake to empty streets
After falling asleep
Met by empty glares
I stare at shop windows
Now closed, the street is bare
The night was alight with hearts entwined
Set ablaze by the tholsel’s chime
Accompanied by Christmas bells
Under Kilkenny’s lights

Getting colder
People bolder
We’ll survive this
Shoulder to shoulder
Shoulder to shoulder

It won't always be blue
This I know is true
“So what?” says you
It will get better soon
The bells still chime at noon
Calling out their tune
It won’t always be blue
This I know is true
What is there to do?
Stop and take your time
It will all be fine
We’ll be back together soon

One day we'll reset
And this will all be over
Though this old onset
Seems to go on and on

The dust will settle (dust will settle)
The times will change (times will change)
It will get better (will get better)
Though it may seem strange (may seem strange)
The dust will settle (dust will settle)
The times will change (times will change)
It will get better (will get better)
Though it may seem strange
