About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Orwell are: Paul Fanning (Vox, R. Guitar), Jarlath Canning (L. Guitar, Bass, Keys, Backing Vox, Harmonica) & Gráinne McFeely (Cello, Keys, Backing Vox).

With a sound as melancholic as it is upbeat, as melodic as it is rock, as classical as it is modern & as experimental as it is recognisable, Orwell are a band with a unique but contemporary feel.

A contradiction nestled between the soft melodic sounds of Badly Drawn Boy & progressive compositions of Muse,Orwell have something familiar but noticeably different about them. Showing a range of influences from all music genres, Orwell are a dichotomy of raw emotion, amazingly structured songs & well crafted, subversive lyrics. (see EP below)

  • Lyrics - Stops

    Get me home
    She’s looking over
    White square shelters in the dark
    Orange heads, bent necks
    Bending streets hurt my head
    Knackered gents, spent suits
    Don’t drift its cold I hate journeys
    Day gazing hurts my eyes

    You’re drifting out
    Images in my head
    Crying people they shout
    They're passing the stops again
    They're passing the stops again

    Innocent people want to pry
    Green, Orange, Red soldiers
    Won’t let me go I crave daylight
    Day gazing hurts my eyes

    You’re drifting out
    Images in my head
    Crying people they shout
    Your passing the stops again
    Your passing the stops again
    Your passing the stops again
    Your passing the stops again

  • Lyrics - Comfort in Strangers

    I've been waiting in line for you,
    My hand, outstretched thinking of you.
    Drunken nights by myself alone,
    Perched on a highstool with an empty glass.

    I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort
    Than your warm hands,
    Your cold touch,
    I'm all alone now.

    Lights go off, I've got no thoughts of you,
    Ten to two girl, a substitute for you.

    I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort
    Than your warm hands,
    Your cold touch,
    I'm all alone now.

    I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort
    Than your warm hands (I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort),
    Your cold touch(I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort),
    I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort (I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort)
    Than your warm hands (I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort),
    Your cold touch (I fall, you're not there, strangers offer me more comfort),
    I'm all alone now.

  • Lyrics - Something's got to give

    Something's gotta give cos we've been racing our chariots with our faces biting in the wind.

    If the moon is slipping further away, couldn't it take us for the adventure just so we could stay and look at all the things below as they pass on by.....I could try and detest you, convince you that I need to....

    Look away and turn away before you go, the stars are blinking in the snow.
    Look away and turn away before you go, tonight shaked me in my sides...In every direction..

    Something's gotta give, dodging and missing the shadows that are chasing us down, in the dogfight of our lives.

    And if the moon was slipping further away could it take us for the adventure just so we could stay and look at all the things below as they pass on by.....I could try and impress you, convince you that I need you....

    Look away and turn away before you go, the stars are blinking in the snow.
    Yeah, Look away and turn away before you go, tonight shaked me in my sides.
    Look away and turn away before you go, the stars are blinking in the snow.
    Yeah, Look away and turn away before you go, tonight shaked me in my sides.

    You look, you turn away before you go, yeah you look you turn away before you go, yeah you look you turn away before you, you look and turn away before you know....

    Hi! Gig the other night went well, as with all support gigs it's sometimes tough when the crowd is coming in during your set but we had a blast on stage and got some good feedback. THANKS SO MUCH to everyone who came along again!! We're working on some heavier stuff for our live act and on getting a bassist and drummer to play with us live at the moment. We'll be holding off any gigs till late Aug/Sept to work on new material and beefing up the sound but keep an eye out for our uploaded songs. Cheers, Ja ;)
