Too Slow Too Strong

about

Written by Cormac O'Caoimh & Seán Millar

I didn't do many gigs, for various reasons, before Covid. But in 2019 I did 3 double headliners with Seán Millar. Loved them!

Coming up to them we had the idea of playing a few covers at the end together. But I don't (or can't really) play covers and was stressing out about it so close to date I asked Seán could we write a song together instead and play that at the end. And that is what we did. We closed each of the 3 gigs with this song, written specially for them. And, like 'Didn't We', I think it's great (and I'm allowed say that because they are both co-writes)

lyrics

Your head can spin
Your heart can try
But the bags under your eyes can’t lie
We can’t begin
Til you let me in
To see what the backs of your eyes have seen

And every thing moves too slow
But everything’s still too strong
Honey, hurry home

My heart can ache
But your sorrow is black
Like the water in an underground lake
The earth is dry
The sky needs to rain
But the cloud
Cover cant break

And every thing moves too slow
but everything’s still too strong
honey, hurry home

Sometimes I don’t hate myself
Sometimes I feel that less
Every book I read just lets
Me become someone else

And every thing moves too slow
but everything’s still too strong
honey, hurry home

My head can spin
My heart can try
But the bags under my eyes can’t lie
We can’t begin
Til I let you in
To see what the backs of my eyes have seen

And every thing moves too slow
but everything’s still too strong
honey, hurry home
And every thing moves too slow
but everything’s still too strong
Are you coming home

What do…
A honeyed whiskey drink,
A fine cognac on a cold winter’s eve
A warm woolly jumper in muted earthy colours
A colour .. a rich mahogany warm and beautiful
and a water color painting all have in common???
