Don't You Wanna know

from Songs from Here by Ardú

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The physical version of our newest studio album, Songs from Here.
    In addition to the CD, the case features the original artwork of Lynn MacPherson, a printed list of tracks and a dedication to our closest fans and followers.

    "Songs from Here" is Ardú's latest studio album dedicated to Irish music. Featuring original arrangements written for and performed by the singers of Ardú, the tracks offer a bit of something for everyone. The album truly is an ode to Irish music, Irish artists and Irish culture, emphasising its diversity through a choice selection of popular contemporary songs by Irish artists, covers of songs by up-and-coming Irish singer-songwriters, as well as new versions of traditional Irish tunes. It was recorded in late 2021 and early 2022.

    We are grateful to the wonderful tradition of songwriting in Ireland which inspired the essence of this album. In particular Van Morrison, Kodaline, Carl Corcoran, Suzanne Savage, Declan O'Rourke, Eoin O'Callaghan, B*witched and James Kelly.

    We would like to extend a warm thanks to our Patreon community who have continually supported us in 2022 and have significantly contributed to the album's creation, with a special shout-out to our top-tier Patrons Maureen and Gary Warwick, Alan Kelly and Deirdre Michael.

lyrics

Found myself outside your door
And it hit me: What am I here for?
Thought I'd caught your laughter there
Oh like something trapped under a star

But I don't come here anymore
And I noticed I don't miss you at all
What if we met face to face?
Yet you're miles away in your own place

What if I cried when you left?
Said some things just better left unsaid?
What if I wonder, if only matter of fact
What if I wonder, did you ever look back?

Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold when you do it on your own

And it was stupid of me
To think that you could fill the pieces I lack
You were too blind to see
Past your passion, to ever look back
There's a wheel keeps turning
Turns to burn you up
Where you end up see; I still wish you luck

What if I cried when you left?
Said some things just better left unsaid?
What if I wonder, if only matter of fact
What if I wonder, did you ever look back?

Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold

All of these words unsaid
All the best plans are never laid
What if I wonder, late at night?
What if I wonder, was I right?

Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold when you do it on your own
