I have a love, and it never fades
From red garden sheds
To watching lads on steds knocking heads.
From the 2x2 fuck you punk stage
To a warehouse rave, with a bloke we met on the way
dancing til day.
I have a love, and it never fades
Full of plights and gripes, like Achilles
who loves fights.
Like you did, right?
And we did, twice.
I will love you beyond life.
I have a love, and it never fades
You are God’s son across the belly,
Remembered by pictures on your telly.
Your body laying in its glow.
Surrounded by those you know.
Crying for you words, and your soul.
And the final loss of your glimmer of hope,
That we heard every time that ya spoke,
And choked up rooms, and blocks, and venues,
And lads and mots, with words that spoke soft of those lost,
now we send you off on funeral cloth.
I have a love, and it never fades.
From the space where we learned to be brave,
And face guards, grief, and knaves.
And late days that could shame and break saints,
With the weight of the city's hate from the smothering state.
Every cent we could take,
Went on the art that we'd make.
We'd go straight through the day on a rake of empty plates.
Up to 8 of us poolin ten quid to make something great.
So our love will never fade.
Our love will never fade.
I have a love, and it never fades.
Now a long way from school days,
Sharing books at big break.
With the two of us, and Barry and Craig,
Talking tunes and poems with too much weight for our age.
But the love that remains would shape the memory that stays.
Even now I can see your face when those chords are replayed.
Arm around me shoulder in teenage embrace.
“Tell All Your Friends”, I'd say.
And a year ago or so,
I played this song for you on the car stereo in the night's breeze.
This bit kicked in with it's synths and its keys,
And you smiled as ya sat next to me.
You in the front, Gilly in the backseat going ninety to the sounds as we roared down the street.
The other boys stompin feet, and me in utter disbelief at the joy from the break in the beats.
We got out and stood, by the Kia Rio caged stage,
and I felt like I had it all.
I have a love, and it will never fade,
And either will you, Paul.
I love ya bro
63 year old father, just listened to your tune on Jools Holland. Have a son pulled from the river by the guards. Thank God he's rebuilt his life. There's been too many Paul's in this country of ours. Your words describe so many tragedies. If only, if only. What's it gonna take......
Thanks Brother, I have a LOVE
True x
Keep trucking on man, wish you and your son all the best
Who's paul
@@WilliamByrne37 The artists best friend, he took his own life.
He's doing well today, thanks Paul.
First time coming across your music, know nothing of your friend or your loss, but this is just beyond beautiful.
Ditto! This is just unreal sorry for that loss, keep those memories alive ❤️
This is the best piece of Dublin art I've seen in years. zero pretence. Love and truth. I love this and what it represents. RIP Paul. Keep it lit. Looking forward to what comes next from yiz all. ✊
The entire album is unbelievable. Can’t stop playing it. First time I’ve felt like that about new music in years.
we have done the Nun yet,Kind regards,.GAH
Look at Kate tempest if this Is your vibe x
This was on the radio yesterday and thought it was one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
Heard this song first on radio and taught music was catchy. Then learnt story behind it. David Balfe you have done your best friend proud. RIP Paul Curran.
Took me 100 listens before the tears stopped... I'm sorry you had to write this but I'm a better person for you sharing this with me . Thank you .
I can't express my love for what you have done. Can't either describe how much life this whole album fills me with. When you are practically paralyzed from grief, skipping weekends staying locked in your home wishing for the monday to just work and kill another week. When nothing has color and suddenly music makes you be again. Feel things, cry and feel like shit which by the way is much better from feeling nothing. As I type this comment I put the first half of the anti-depressant my psychiatrist prescribed. I'm afraid that I might lose some of myself, but I couldn't take it anymore, it felt like I was crumbling into small pieces I wouldn't be able to collect later on. For everyone who can understand me, I have a love.
I listen and listen again. And as I listen, bitter tears scratch my face. This song is one of the strongest declarations of love I have ever heard. A visceral, silent scream. I am almost ashamed as I remain motionless and feel all the humanity it encompasses. This song is a human, pure and cruel gift.
Thank you for making me feel alive once more

I am late to this track but we lost our best friend a little over two months now. And I had just bought a tribute hat to remember him by, and this song happened to play while I was looking at it in the car. Idk but this song just hits every emotion from sadness and anger to joy and laughter. And that’s exactly how it feels to lose someone. You hit it perfectly and it’s beautiful. This has helped me tons. Thank you
Phenomenal track. The energy and emotion just reverberates through me. A track of this magnitude is so rare. Thank you.
So, so happy to hear this again. My 26 y/o brother decided to leave us in July 2018 so your album absolutely floored me, in the best way possible. Hoping to hear the full thing again some day soon 🤞
What happend?
Brilliant track. I knew Paul from the scene in Dublin. This captures his spirit beautifully. He will never fade.
Big up your boy Paul, this a track, you done him proud
Profoundly beautiful. You did the memory of your friend proud with this and the album. RIP Paul.
When you started talking about the part of the song you both listened to in the car *as the part of the song came along* I felt like I was sharing in something very intimate and personal. Very beautiful music and tribute
I'm Polish been living in D17 (Clonshaugh) for years... A year ago I decided to go back to Poland, one of my friends showed me that clip like a day ago, he did not realise that I know the places from that clip Clontarf, Poolbeg and other, nostalgia man I started crying my GF too.. few years of our life, so important. Thank you for this.
the song captures the memories perfectly
Heard this on the radio twice. Two different stations. Sat in the car to listen to the end of the song both times after I had arrived to where I was going. Powerful great song man.
Damn this is such a beautiful song, you can feel his anger but also the nostalgia and sadness in his voice, a literal musical story
I lost my best friend to, he was like a brother to me. One year older, died aged 39 very unexpected left behind a Son a Mother and many great people his Brother and his nieces and nephews this is a Beautiful track. ❤️
Such a beautiful piece. The amazing direction of the video coupled with the bittersweet song is an absolute triumph. I honour you for honouring your friend.
Just heard this on 2fm had to come find it never thought I'd hear this kind of genuine artful hip hop on irish radio, sorry for your loss
I found out about your music through Overmono’s remix of this tune. Funny enough it was never among my favourite tunes of theirs. Then I found your album. Upon hearing the first track in its original form I immediately ordered the vinyl. Ever since I’ve had the album on repeat twice a week or so. The music is pure and beautiful , the words touch the soul. I can’t overstate how much I love this record eagerly awaiting whatever comes next, cheers
this showed up as an ad and I could not find it afterwards finally found it. This is a great heartfelt song🙂🔥
Just heard this song on 2 FM,am addicted brilliant emotional heart felt tune
let love flow on baby❤
Those Sampha keys is a place of love and safety in my mind. In my darkest moments or when in incredible pain, I hear those keys in my mind and hold onto its sounds as long as the pain passes. Thank you for this song.
Just found this after listening to the Overmono version. So so can’t find the words, but I don’t need to … you found them for me.
I was brought by the monomo remix but I stayed for the aggressively beautiful poetry. Thank you for releasing this mate
Thus still helps me through my sense of loss.
Thank you
That's beautiful man. Am hearing the streets and arab strap. Thanks
Best piece to come out of modern Ireland in ages. So moving. God Bless. X
Grateful to overmono for introducing me to this
I don't know the circumstances of your loss, but this reminds me so much of my friend who took his own life in September of 2017. Even down to some of the minor details... It's coming on the anniversary of his death (the 27th) and this song hit like. a ton of bricks when it appeared in my Spotify discover weekly playlist. Thank you so much for this piece of art. Hope you're doing well, mate.
this is beyond beautiful. boy oh boy. this song hits the tiny little spot in you, where you laugh and cry and the same time it brings joy, it brings tears it's a feeling out of nowhere, mostly because its so overwhelming and, thankfully, many can really see the beauty, tragedy and heart that goes through but also because it has love, real love that goes right into your heart. this is definitely one of a few songs that will stay with me until my very last day on this planet. thanks mate!
I’m here from The Tommy Tiernan Show. Can’t wait for this album now!
This is absolutely incredible. Can't stop listening. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Just Stunning , Made me think of those ive lost along my lifetime . And they will never fade .
This is so moving. I didn't even know it was possible to to show love and memories in such depth. Amazing salute!
Absolutely heart wrenchingly beautiful. Sorry for your loss. Im sure you made him proud. And vice versa.
Incredible, love this song. What an amazing tribute to Paul ❤
I have listened to these 3 tracks SO many times now! I am SO obsessed - please bless us with the album soon. So much of this is touching all the feels. Love your voice, what you talk about, how you do it - feels so natural and relatable. And the beats Killllll

Just home from Sydney over 3 years been away from Ireland because of politicians and BS, this song came up in my feed, a gift from heaven
RIP to whoever it is about, what a tribute, I have no words ❤️
Reminds me of my dad who took his own life, his name was also Paul. x
Came back to this tune from a year ago keep up the good you can tell there was a lot of thought and heart put into this pal , what a way to share the memory of your mate pal 👏 keep it up my man
Such a beautiful tribute. No young man or woman should go before their time. This song is excellent and beautiful but it's a beautiful sadness if that makes sense. It connects and makes you feel real emotion which is rare in music these days. Rest in peace Paul. Sleep well friend.
Dance until Day 😇👍
