about
Everyone longs for unconditional love, the sheer emotional luxury of having someone believe in you. It seems like a simple need, an uncomplicated request of life. It is a hope that we cling to, even though in reality it is like demanding the sun, the moon and the stars. Such is the theme of the new release from Weekend Special, “Someone believing in you”.
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, aligned with strong hooks and melodies.
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 2,000 live shows across the globe. Beardfire productions have generated impressive streaming numbers through artists like RUNAH and Patricia Lalor. 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 sell out show in Whelans. 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.”
“Someone believing in you” is the second in a series of three Weekend Special songs featuring Ciaran Moran due for release throughout 2022. “Someone believing in you” is out now on all major platforms via Beardfire Music. A music video is also available
lyrics
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
