For Those I Love – To Have You
Dance me to the end of love.
David Balfe‘s project is one that we belatedly feature as it’s clearly one of the Irish albums of the year and it would be scandalous not to acknowledge it in this column. There’s always one that gets away!
A requiem for his friend Paul Curran, who killed himself in 2018, the self-titled album For Those I Love sees Balfe merge memories of his life growing up in Dublin with biting social commentary and all with a banging soundtrack that would bring the house down in clubland.
The video above, directed by Niall Trask, is centred on Shelbourne Football Club and Drumcondra village and was shot on Kodak 16mm in glorious black and white.
Enjoy!
