ALL by Hilary Bow
ALL is the first of three EPs set for release throughout 2024.
Across these EPs you will find recently written songs, songs that I've had in my back pocket for some time, and, previously recorded but never released songs re-mastered by Maestro Cormac O'Connor.
I'm attaching the lyrics, with the setting/story of each song included at the end.
The songs are about moments and observations of the people around us, life in general, and myself – all indefinable, constantly changing, circumstantial, great, awful, up, down, messy, wonderful, everything, nothing. I see these moments of inspiration like an ol'fashioned analogue telephone – I'm on the receiving end, gifted with the pleasure of having a direct line to a muse. I truly appreciate this connection. Although the moment when a song arrives may be subjective, my understanding is that all of life's experiences are shared, common, inter-related, indeed, interdependent – kaleidoscopic. Each song is a world unto itself really, like us ALL.
