Pa Sheehy – I Saw You At A Funeral
A family affair.
Pa Sheehy (top), the former singer with Kerry rock giants Walking On Cars, gets personal with his debut solo single that makes for a compelling if uncomfortable listen.
Pa writes:
“This is a song I find easier to sing than talk about. I didn’t want to give this part of my life too much attention because I was doing my best to focus on the good things in my life. But every time I sat down to write a song, it was always the first thing that jumped out of me. So I knew I had to get it out of my system.
“After it was written, it was all about not over doing it with the production. With such a blunt song it didn’t need any bells and whistles. A little keyboard arpeggio and some atmospheric sounds was enough to glide it home. My siblings listened to it once but won’t listen to it anymore. I take that as a compliment.”
Nick says: In the midst of life…
Oh…I’ll be blunt and say throwing things into the sea is not a good look! Reminds me of a story someone told me; after the cremation of her husband, she sprinkled some, not all, of his ashes in the supermarket that they’d both liked to shop in. Ouf
MusGraves?
Ooooh. Yeah. That is not a good look is it.
I guess with the final shot at the end, he’s saying that all the stuff ended up back out of the sea, but… that TV would have been a hard one to get back.
Probably a disclaimer at the end or a ‘making of’ video showing them removing the stuff would be a good idea.
