Gerard O'Riley

This song is about what haunts you in the night; your dark shadow; your worst enemy... a monster that lives under your bed and lives with you until you die. Misery. But this is misery speaking to you, your mind. Your heart.

This song is about knowing that there are struggles and limitations in life, but still trying to make the best of what is yet to come. Knowing that you’re stronger and more positive than you think.

This song, believe it or not, is about me and my rebellious drug years. Think of it as The Beatles’ Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds... The “A” for Analeigh is for Air Duster. The “P” for Please is for Painkillers. The “C” for Cry is Comet... those were all of the drugs I experimented with. Luckily I never did the hard stuff, though air duster and comet cleaner are pretty bad. Nobody would have ever noticed this was me because I hid a lot of secrets in my life. But I’m coming out of the “secret” closet right now.

A failing space odyssey representing the feeling of your loved one not being there to back you up anymore.

I wrote this song in celebration for my 15 years of writing anniversary. It talks about my life throughout the years; why I started and how I started. Some of my biggest “writing moments”.
