About the Song
​
Heaven Cried is a song for those who sway on the balance of life, lost in a never ending search for meaning. Heaven Cried is a metaphorical idea about a person trying to help those who are having a hard time, feel lost or, whose head is not in the right place. It's a caring soul reaching out to someone in need, to someone being held captive by the 'black dog'.
The song asks you to slow your thoughts down, remember a time when you felt peaceful and grasp onto it. Peace of mind will happen, there is someone out there who will help, unconditionally. You must not lose hope.

Lyrics
​
Remember when we were young
singing them blue notes in an evening sun
we didn't care where we going
Or where we were coming from
​
Tonight's a different shade of blue
like all the rest but this one
Kind of scares you
Chain of thoughts roll down your cheek
Where love and life meet
​
Heaven Cried to slow you down
Heaven Cried to slow you down
Don't cry
Peace of mind was just a lie
You thought had once upon a time
You can search a soul till the end of its life
And never realise
Heaven Cried to slow you down
Heaven Cried to slow you down
Don't cry

Artwork
I had been following portrait artist Claire Guinan for awhile before I realised she was a native to Tullamore. I was lucky to be introduced to her through a friend. I knew her style would be perfect for materialising the idea behind the song. Her previous work includes ‘Heart and Soul: Portraits of Irish musicians’; It consists of large scale oil paintings of many heroes of the Irish musical landscape including; Imelda May, The Coronas, Lisa Hannigan, Mundy and the iconic Christy Dignam. Check out her work via Instagram @claire_guinan.
