LYRICS:
Kindness is a trick to turn you strange
Til you’re twisted and you’re shining like a varicose vein
Anger makes you weak and turns you sick
And gets you in the six feet nice and quick
No fair
They can talk to me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy
Where I like to be
I can live alone alone alone alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
The fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel
And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel
Baby do you miss the days before
Hope knocked on your door?
But you
went and fell in love
And into you love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh well
There’s a thing about people that I suppose is alright
It’s when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night
The fool dies at the altar in a smile
Says “I’m moving to America
You won’t see me for a while”
If I get the ferry over will the fairies follow me?
Will they throw me to the sea?
We’ll see
No fair
They can follow me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy
Where I like to be
I can live alone alone alone alone
I fought
For the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
When the devil takes your soul
he does not care
If you’re shot down like a dog
or expired on the stairs
The boat is drifting in, the weight is cast,
How can life go so slowly,
and death come so fast?
Across the River Styx I’ll row along
But I’ve got one more song
More song
More song
More song

[@federicosorrentino1826]

I can live alone, alone, alone, alone

And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel
Baby, do you miss the days before
Hope knocked on your door?
But you went and fell in love
And into you, love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh, well

"How can life go so slowly and death come so fast?"
Yeah, I felt that one.

[@fitzgoodandtight83]

This is the song of the year, it's so fucking good it's ridiculous

[@stellajayne]

''But you went and fell in love and into you love fell and it made you feel unwell, oh well'' is pure Morrissey. This isn't a criticism, by the way. I think it's a great song.

[@tomconsidine2257]

Been saying exactly this!!!

[@fitzgoodandtight83]

The man is a poet

[@tata1975ify]

😂

[@froghornleghorn]

Less cunty though

[@hdn4nd]

Accurate

[@Rocko250]

In a time where everyone sounds the same, we needed an artist like this 🇮🇪 very original, love it.

[@SarahSmoothieface]

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Grian Chatten, two of my favourite artists

[@arahjofobia]

These new tunes sound pretty good. The new solo album might be one of the most interesting albums of this year.

[@lms7846]

Skinty fia>

[@luketobin3054]

@@lms7846 it’s not about skinty fia, be happy we’re getting new material, both singles have certainly proved grian can make a great solo album too

[@wernerdubbert7891]

Oh yes👍

[@ErasRap]

This summer new blur and new QOTSA also 🍻🥃

[@collinfitzpatrick7622]

I love the music and I love the lyrics

[@kipvincent3030]

I stumbled across this song on Jules Holland the other night. And I am still so dumbstruck and in awe. I actually cannot find the words to do it justice. The lyrics are beyond anything poetic I have ever heard. Mind-blowing surreal. I only wish I could say more

[@angelceballos9385]

This man is a poet

[@enniosperanza4099]

Dear Grian, your voice is magic. This is undoubtely a beautiful song (melody, harmony, lirycs, structure, arrangement ) but your voice (and what's behind it) makes the very difference. It's the voice of a poet. Go on!

[@andreabosetti3538]

Also th timing and the attitudine. Great

[@mightguy123456]

Grian is a great example of a bad vocalist with an amazing voice if that makes sense. One of the best out right now imo. He killed it on this album.

[@enniosperanza4099]

Morever, Philip Larkin is one of my favorite poets! :) @@mightguy123456

[@matildawhitaker.]

@@mightguy123456yesss, i say the same about declan mckenna

Thank you TH-cam recommendations!

[@johnlogomasiniII]

This brings me to a place where I can’t remember what era I’m in. It’s so resemblant of 80’s, 90’s, early 2000’s and new wave modern it is timeless

[@SarahSmoothieface]

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Grian Chatten, two of my favourite artists

[@Garrett1240]

I’ve been proselytizing in the name of Grian Chatten to the unwashed masses here in the states and I think it’s working. Can’t wait for you to tour this joint.

[@pamela8329]

I second that!💚💚

[@delretadonaldson]

I'll third that 😊

[@starylize]

i fourth that!

[@delretadonaldson]

[@lollopollo4981]

Amazing ..Best single track in last decade ...Hope Will tour in Italy on summer

[@archiet2205]

“Kindness is a trick to turn you strange”… truer words have seldom been spoken. Genius as always from Grian…

[@brendanorlove2]

Can you explain? I don’t understand the lyric

[@bmcg8888]

Theres no truth to it it's just poetry

[@dumb_as_rocks]

but poetry without truth is just words

[@ryanwatson1689]

Blown away on first listen

[@TracyJAlbarn]

THE WAY....this could easily look like another cartoon segment for Nickelodean's KA-BLAM tho! LOVE THIS!! 👏👏👏

[@thankyouforaskingbutNO]

Oh boy. Oh. boy. This is gold ❤

[@MrJuly66]

A chorus to make you weep uncontrollably

[@annadasbrot]

shining like a varicose vein

[@endoretta]

Adoro tutto di questa canzone: voce, musica... capolavoro. ❤

[@loicorrado]

Aggiungerei anche l'animazione, fantastica, ed il cerchio si chiude. Capolavoro.

[@adeleangelino146]

Agree 😊

[@musicamalata1400]

disco dell'anno, lunga vita a Grian e ai Fontaines

[@Nirandthevana]

Anche tu rocker/metallara,grande! Io invece sono un rocker/metallaro, comunque Grian è forte da quello che ho sentito

[@BFLSF]

This man is next level. What a tune.

[@le_fabulo]

I'm totally obsessed with this song

[@alfonso240506]

I'm afraid you're not the only one...

[@archiet2205]

Every line is so profound in a manner only Grian can. Just fkn brilliant…!

[@1000supercat]

Is this, at the age of sixty one, the greatest album I’ve ever heard?

[@AnthonyMorgan1982]

Can’t wait to hear the album. Getting real The La’s vibes at their most dark and cosmic

[@lucasrowe1100]

Good shout with the la's

[@matthewrednor8640]

Great shout. That’s exactly what I thought when I first heard it. I’m a big fan of the La’s and this is a revelation. Guitar has a bit of ‘fishing net’ and Grian’s lyrics even have that Mavers touch

[@emiliaa.k5536]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ricardomoreira6433]

Listen this in alternative radio station in Portugal and is love at first sight!
Lyrics and tune like a punch in stomach,awesome😉😉🔥

Well , what can I say ...simply wonderful, Grians voice is very unique and I love the deep rich undertones of the Dubliners coming through .I can imagine stadiums full of fans singing along or a session in the local pub with Guinness of course.
I have no doubt Grian will be very successful with this first solo album.
He's true to his own style and very talented . Looking forward to what he does in the future.

[@captaincanuck99]

That heavy acoustic riff gives serious 'Violent Femmes - Kiss Off vibes

[@thestudentcarduk]

This is incredible.

[@fede7289]

Full of surprises the guy... It's amazing, Grian, and your voice is the caresse I'm in need right now. . I love it and can't wait for the rest.
