Kiltermon from Never Closer by Raphael Doyle

Possibly my favourite track on the record. I had the words and a basic song but it wasn't right. Louis rewrote it for me and brought a subtlety to the music that I love. Kiltermon was our family home when I was growing up in Ireland, in a little seaside town in County Antrim. There are lots of lovely Gerry Diver touches that open it out and give it atmosphere
