about

The long-awaited Volume 2 of Paddy Madden’s ‘Songs for the Time Being’ collection. featuring 18 original songs from his musical and lyrical imagination providing almost an hour (59.45 mins) of chiming guitars and infectious melodies’.
This compelling album commences with him ‘Dancing Around the Sunwheel’, roaming ‘In the Blue of the Night’, trying to cross the Lee River and taste the ‘Tears of the Earth – which draws its inspiration from traditional music’ - as he realises that he’s …”in the here and now only for the time being’ in the lovely arrangements of flutes and saxophone in ‘She Came in Colours’.
Some songs find Paddy looking inwards such as learning his first guitar chords in ‘Hey Richard’ and experiencing time standing still for a short while in ‘A Sparrow Falls’ and looking for love in ‘Searching for Something’ after he realises that he is left ‘Holding on the Nothing’. However, love is alive and well in ‘Box of Words’ and ‘Hour of Darkness’. Two bonus tracks find Paddy in West Cork singing about the beauty of Coosheen Schull and dilly dallying in Ballydehob.
A highly polished production mixing organic acoustic centred songs with rock fuelled pop tracks which makes this album a musical experience. Impressive stuff.
