Gerard O'Riley

A song about loss, but the connotations of loss and the roller coaster of emotions surrounding this loss rather than the literal story. The person felt a sense of belonging with this person/thing (left to the listener to interpret who/what they believe the song is addressing) and the sense of failure and purposeless they feel now it is gone.

A tragic story of a person stuck in an unfaithful relationship, and the conflict of feelings they feel as they fight between staying with someone they feel they can't live without but killing themselves in the process.

A woman who has had enough of her current boyfriend's philandering, so, she is basically telling him to leave! Pop/R n B perhaps.

Heathrow airport central bus station, Christmas 2008. It was the year of the fog surrounding London and a lot of incoming and outbound flights were delayed or cancelled, plus late. My flight from Sicily was late, therefore I missed my bus home and was lucky enough to catch the next one, so, I grabbed a coffee at central bus station, waiting for the bus. A guy in the queue in front of me, started to talk to me and and we put the world to rights' for a few hours, as he was travelling to Scotland and I was headed too Somerset. I think if I hadn't been so reserved, I think this man would asked me for a drink, although he had originally come from Australia, as it was though, we said our goodbyes and that was that! Anyway, I wrote this song a few days after, thinking about if he had asked me out and the anticipation of a first date, but knowing it was a lot more than that and where would it lead?? Think sixties do-wop 'Do run run' type mixed up with "Christmas wrapping' by the Waitresses.
