Sing About
The title track of the EP, this is a strong, passionate soul ballad, a tale of loss, the heartbreak that the lovers let so much slip away.

lyrics
Got myself a story, I got a story to tell
Not sayin its something new you see (but it’s), just a story that I know so well
But I’m gonna claim it cos it’s mine,
Set the record straight just one more time
Tell you bout the things I lost, but most of all just what it cost
Bridge
(Singin Bout) The one that got away,
(Singin Bout) One I loved that forgot to stay,
Only real love that I knew
For broken hearts but mostly me and you
Chorus
Sing for the sadness, the hurt, the pain
For that closeness I’ll never have again
For the loss, its our tragedy
What could have been for you and me
I know you heard it all before, broken hearts left bleeding on the floor
Loving years became wasted time, I broke her heart and she broke mine
Hollow sound of slammin’ doors, weep for afters and befores
See the tears as she turns her back,(away)
And know shes’s never coming back – singing ‘bout
Not sayin its something new you see (but it’s), just a story that I know so well
But I’m gonna claim it cos it’s mine,
Set the record straight just one more time
Tell you bout the things I lost, but most of all just what it cost
Bridge
(Singin Bout) The one that got away,
(Singin Bout) One I loved that forgot to stay,
Only real love that I knew
For broken hearts but mostly me and you
Chorus
Sing for the sadness, the hurt, the pain
For that closeness I’ll never have again
For the loss, its our tragedy
What could have been for you and me
I know you heard it all before, broken hearts left bleeding on the floor
Loving years became wasted time, I broke her heart and she broke mine
Hollow sound of slammin’ doors, weep for afters and befores
See the tears as she turns her back,(away)
And know shes’s never coming back – singing ‘bout

Shay Anthony Lea Wicklow, Ireland
I grew up listening to everything: charts, soul, folk, rock, Motown, country. I learnt to play on Dad's guitar and as a lefty learnt to play right-handed! Loved music as a small kid, early influences growing up: James Taylor, Paul Simon, Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Steely Dan, America, Eagles, Richard Thompson etc. I live in Wicklow, walk my dogs in the mountains and wait for the inspiration. ... more
