about

‘Condemned The Lyricist’, Con Murphy’s newest release explores the concept of a musician, songwriter, artist or the brilliance of a creative mind that is locked in a psychological turmoil outside of their control. The song wills the heart of that person to be stronger than it has ever had to be in the hope that in harmony with their mind that recovery finds them. It is a message of strength, resilience and courage - and is written from the perspective of a musician who finds themselves in a struggle for the opportunity to once again explore their brilliance in front of their own piano, in their own creative space.
This new single also features the incredible Vyvienne Long on cello. She beautifully captures the emotional power of this track with her remarkable skill, in her unique style. I’m honoured and humbled as a fan of her music to have her feature on and support this new work. Condemned The Lyricist is Con’s 6th track release in the past 24 months and follows on from his first Irish SOLD OUT show in Whelan’s Dublin in January 2020.

lyrics

My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time

Condemned I am the lyricist
Of all these voices that exist
To them I am their lyricist
Forgive myself my daily bread
Euphoria goes to my head
Forgive myself my daily bread

My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time

Hold your breath forget to breathe
Suffocate your disbelief's
Mistimings in your heart that beats

My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
Condemned I am the lyricist
Oh my heart has not got time

Oh my heart has not got time for this
Turn it into stone you are the alchemist
Blow your candles out dear friend and make a wish
My heart has not got time

These moments are the ones to seize
and it's the, the turn and lock sound of the keys
and there's no, no tinkle of the ivories

My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time for this
My heart has not got time
Oh my heart has not got time for this
Turn it into stone you are the alchemist
Blow your candles out dear friend and make a wish
My heart has not got time
