"I was dreaming of the west of Ireland when I wrote this story,” Gormley says of 'The West Wind Blows'. “It’s a song about looking back over your life and holding on to optimism for things to come. It’s a tip of the hat to the past, the present, and the future in equal measure."
The track invites listeners on a westward journey pedalled by the visionary prowess of Stephen Gormley. Crafted in a moment of deep reflection, 'The West Wind Blows' extends a lyrical ode to the rugged beauty of the west of Ireland, suffusing poignant nostalgia with hope for the future.
Moon Looks On is also gearing up for a special headline show at the Hawkswell Theatre in Sligo on Saturday, 14th September, with appearances from Seamie O'Dowd, Felip Carbonell, Jessie Whitehead, Stephen O'Dowd, Emma Gormley, Aisling Brudgeman, Laura Ryder. For tickets, please see here.
