Haven't felt like this In a long long time Cherished and warm, floating along All my dreams in a line I can see you're here to stay Certain your love will survive For a long long time Not been swept off my feet In a long long time Perfume and moonlight Candles and wine You, a soulmate to love And me, ready to admire For a long long time Carry me in your arms To that place Where we are safe It's called renewal It's called daybreak Carry me in your arms To that place Where we are safe It's called renewal It's called daybreak Taken things for granted For a long long time The bonds of trust and friendship Embraces that don't lie Don't let me be careless Ignore the warning signs For that's a long long time Don't let me treat lightly What goes on to inspire For a long long time

She wants to believe that today is the day Too long in exile, clinging to faith A hope that she carries, refuses to give in Longing for a hero, someone to defend Who to her face will be steadily drawn His heart starts pumping, vital and warm This is how it should be, so simple and so true Not too much to expect, someone believing in you A small price to pay for the sun and the moon What everyone longs for – someone believing in you Is it luck or good fortune she senses in the air? A sea change, sailors call it, raising up fresh sails A small price to pay for the sun and the moon What everyone longs for – someone believing in you He wants to believe that today is the day In her an echo of the longings he bears Like a singer startled by the storm of applause Like birds celebrating at break of dawn To her face and voice he is steadily drawn His heart starts pumping, vital and warm This is how it should be, so simple and so true Not too much to expect, someone believing in you A small price to pay for the sun and the moon What everyone longs for – someone believing in you Is it luck or good fortune she senses in the air? A sea change, sailors call it, raising up fresh sails A small price to pay for the sun and the moon What everyone longs for – someone believing in you She wants to believe the longing in her heart Is no deception but a candle in the dark He knows that we love the most those who turn away Lovers hiding secrets and shadows on the face

They come to dance Cos the leaves are falling Autumn in their hearts In other lonely arms They no longer feel apart They come to dance To ease the darkness Winter here too soon Love is heating up the room Like promises in bloom They come to dance And the music surges Hear the melody and romance blend Creating not love but mere illusions The band and the hall but a means to an end They come to dance So also did she Convinced of a lie Tired of turning aside I could see it in her smile They come to dance When there’s rain on the street Summer dead and gone Some raise their defences And miss the point of the song They come to dance And the music surges Hear the melody and romance blend Creating not love but mere illusions The band and the hall but a means to an end They come to dance Cos the leaves are falling Autumn in their hearts In other lonely arms They no longer feel apart They come to dance To ease the darkness Winter here too soon Love is heating up the room Like promises in bloom

about

Weekend Special is a songwriting and production supergroup whose members have worked in studio or on stage with the likes of Nick Cave, INXS, Mary Black and Leslie Dowdall (In Tua Nua).

Weekend Special’s prolific songwriting powerhouse is Seán Silke. With hundreds of compositions to his name, Seán’s work is recognised for its mature and imaginative lyrics, something of a lost art in the modern pop world, aligned with strong hooks and melodies. Through unique life observations, every Weekend Special song draws us into a moment in time from which the listener emerges with a new and wiser perspective.

The production team behind the Weekend Special sound is Beardfire Music, consisting of brothers Rohan and Al Healy, and their father David Virgin. They have a combined experience of 75 years on stage and in studio, adding up to over two thousand live shows across the globe, including appearances on Irish, French and Australian TV and The Voice UK in England, five number 1’s on the Australian indie charts, and hundreds of production and session credits and awards, including the Founders Choice Award at the International Songwriting Competition 2021 for their work on the All The Queen’s Horse’s song , “The Troubled Tears of Drury Road”.

Beardfire productions have generated impressive streaming numbers through artists like RUNAH and Patricia Lalor. Their recordings have graced international radio, including numerous RTE playlists. And their artists have been signed by international labels like Motor Music, PR Records Label Group, Bonfire Records, and Atlantic Records (Warner Music Group).

Always keen to work with the cream of Ireland’s singer and songwriter talent, Weekend Special are now collaborating with celebrated Dublin artist Ciarán Moran. Ciarán brings his affecting vocals to the project , interpreting the sense of longing in Sean’s lyrics like no one else can.

In recent years, Ciarán Moran has been building a loyal fan-base throughout Ireland and beyond, gathering approval from audiences in venues such as the Olympia Theatre, Vicar Street , the Academy, Electric Picnic, and a recent sell out show in Whelans. He has supported and shared the stage with Damien Dempsey, Aslan, Maverick Sabre, Jamie Webster, Bagatelle, and Brian Kennedy. Legendary Irish folk singer, Christy Moore, says of Ciarán - “He writes powerful songs, songs that deserve to be heard, about subjects that very few will write or sing about.”
