about

A collaboration with Belfast based producer Michael Mormecha, Caves is a blend of Tracy’s rich, haunting vocals and sharp and insightful song-writing style with the production mastery of Mormecha.

The result of this partnership is a dark, unique and original piece of musicianship and artistry that serves to enthral,
unsettle, move and beguile the listener. Poetic lyrics with threads of love, exploration, loss and hope combined with
Mormecha’s production genius weave a rich and intriguing tapestry which captures the attention of the audience and
holds it. Caves is ultimately about delving within, into the unknown, facing inner fears and challenges and consequently finding meaning in the world.

About the song Gallagher says "Caves is inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell, American professor of Literature and well known mythologist, credited by George Lucas as having inspired Star Wars. While reading his book ‘The Hero With A Thousand Faces’, I became enamoured with the idea of each individual being the hero in their own story and the trials and tribulations each of us have to face and overcome throughout our human experience in order to grow and develop as human beings. Caves explores the relationship we have to the natural world and simultaneously to the inner self, it is a look at the wild, powerful and sometimes frightening aspects of nature that can act as a metaphor for the unexplored parts of our inner worlds. The wildness of the ‘seven seas’ and the dark unknown of the ‘cave’ represent our innermost fears, that which we try to keep hidden from ourselves and the world at large but this is also the place where the deepest treasures and revelations lie, where personal growth and development happens."

lyrics

Caves

Feel the need

A fire burning makes it hard to breathe

On Seven Seas

Caught up in a wind of what’s not real
Calling to the ones who need to

Feel free
You’re a lot, like me
There’s a knot in your tail...

Songs you hear

Your treasure’s hidden in the cave you fear

Hold on dear

One more look to make it all come clear
One more step to show you how to

Feel free
You’re a lot like me

When there’s a knot in your tail
No wind in your sail
When there’s nowhere to roam
Come home

To feel free
You’re a lot like me
Free, Free....Free
