‘Gypsy Fires’ is Moon Looks On’s next single due for release on November 15th via Cauldron Records.
Stephen Gormley’s ‘Gypsy Fires’: A Journey Through Life’s Fierce Beauty features Martin Ditchum (Mark Knopfler) on drums and Bill Shanley [Ray Davies/The Kinks) on guitars. The song was mastered by Denis Blackham and recorded in Madison Studios in Dublin.
Written on the banks of the Corrib, Gypsy Fires is a song about the scars that linger, each with its own story. Wild nights with friends, and deep conversations that stretch into the early hours, even as some of those friends have faded with time. It’s a song about survival and celebration, where joy and loss meet in the glow of the fire.
“I wrote the first draft a few years ago, when life was raw, and the nights in Galway were full of unforgettable faces and unbreakable bonds.” Stephen Gormley (Moon Looks On)
