May from Sociable! by Old Man Flanagan's Ghost
A song about rebirth, for me this song was about starting a new life with Brooke after leaving a darker place. We met in May 2011 which when combined with the symbolism of Spring helped in titling the track. Fun fact: this song was a reawakening for music and songwriting in my life and was in many ways the catalyst that brought on the formation of Old Man Flanagan's Ghost.

Lyrics
I know that I've been traveling on my own road
Use to holding the weight of my own load
But it's time for my fears to step aside
The path I'm wandering along is much more wide
The day just seems so much brighter than what it has been
The brown and the grey look more faded surrounded by green
and all of the sadness that's stayed close to me
Has finally turned into something that's setting me free
Seen the world through eyes both clouded and sad
Thought too hard on what's lacking and not what I had
Maybe this is a time of peace between wars
A time of growing, of changing, of opening doors
The day just seems so much brighter than what it has been
The brown and the grey look more faded surrounded by green
and all of the sadness that's stayed close to me
Has finally turned into something that's setting me free
Here comes my May
It's here today
Don't fade away
Watched the sky for so long seen so many moons
So it's true what they say that time can heal wounds
Now I'm watching my children grow everyday
Time, that I once wished would pass, now begging to stay
The day just seems so much brighter than what it has been
The brown and the grey look more faded surrounded by green
and all of the sadness that's stayed close to me
Has finally turned into something that's setting me free

Imagine the smell of the sea, cold pints of beer, old shipwrecks, stories of love and loss, and boisterous friends sharing a laugh and a song. Now mix it with an instrumentation that takes you on a journey east, and a feeling of being welcomed into your neighbour’s home for a kitchen party, THAT is the essence of Old Man Flanagan’s Ghost.
