Track of the Day: Faraway Martin's 'Falling In Your Sleep'
A cheerful tune from Mayo-born, Qatar-based musician Faraway Martin.
Faraway Martin is the appropriately titled stage name of Máirtín Farragher, whose day job sees him work as a teacher out in the far reaches of Qatar, while his main passion is as a folk singer/songwriter.
Faraway Martin's sound is influenced by some of the folk luminaries of Ireland - with evidence of Damien Rice in there - but with a more straightforward folk-pop direction. Honest lyrics and catchy hooks mean that 'Falling In Your Sleep', his second single, leaves an instant mark on the listener.
The video for 'Falling In Your Sleep', which you can watch below, was made by award-winning animator Marc Corrigan.
