When Darkness Calls: - (Songs Of Bitter Reality) -

By Paul Murphy D&E

WHEN DARKNESS CALLS

An anthology of lyrics to some of the finest social commentary songs from Irish folk-punk singer/songwriter Paul Murphy.

Running the full length of his career, from 'Candle' in 1982, up to 'Scars' in 2024, this volume covers some of the most harrowing works on the dark underbelly of society and social injustice.

Not for the faint of heart, subjects covered include domestic violence ('She's Cried A Million Tears'); substance abuse ('Eye Of The Needle'); exploitation ('So Many Times Before'); societal breakdown ('Urban Paranoia', 'Bitter Realities'); child neglect ('Their Song', 'Where Do The Children Cry?'), and much, much more.

Moving, heartrending, thought-provoking, emotive and, at times, uncomfortable observations on the crueller corners of humankind, from a master of the narrative storytelling genre.
