'Silk' is the first single from new album 'Pull The Sky Inside' which will be out later this year. It was mostly written in 2020, in San Francisco. It is half quiet and half loud, half happy and half sad, half Irish and half Californian.

lyrics:

they come to the door and ask you which side you’re on
they tell you the time has come to sing
they’ll say that there’s just a little work to be done
and there is a plan for everything

they’ll tell you they’re built
for a life of swagger and silk
for a life lived up to the hilt
but you’ll be the one they blame for the shame in their eyes

the voices that crack are first to fall from the chorus
because there is a plan for everything
but whispers carry the melody home for us
and we find our own words to sing

we tell you we’re built
to be blind to the staggering guilt
for a chance to flower and wilt
and how well you tailor your lies
and how well they will remember the day that you die
