    My debut, self-titled album ‘BRÍDÍN’ has become for me, my favourite work to date. I am so proud of every song and piece on this album and what they mean to me. Along with my amazing band, we have captured my mindset in this moment. From start to finish, I believe my album takes you on a journey of grief, pain and anxiety to a place of great peace and acceptance. Through writing and recording these songs and pieces, I have learned and grown so much, fine tuning my style and writing the music I want to hear.

1.
Hideaway 03:51
I slip away, To my hideaway.
2.
‘Dancing Shadows in the night, You’ll be alright, ‘Cos we don’t bite.’
3.
Empty Room 03:54
'What, what can we do? I love the sound of an empty room. Every crowded room I go, I just can't hear a thing, I need to be alone so I can hear the angels sing. The orchestra inside my head is so entertaining, I like to be alone sometimes, don't worry about me.'
4.
I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm leaving my pain, it's too much to take. Aaay, ooh, aaay, ohh, aay ohh.
5.
Dali's Dream 05:34
6.
7.
Waves 04:14
8.
‘Ocean of Stars, where are you tonight? ‘cos I wanted to see you one more time.’
9.
Will we meet again in the clouds and the stars, Or is that just a thought we think ‘til we die? We don’t have much time, when you think of it too. But I loved the time, that I spent with you. Oooh aaah ooohh ooohh, Oh I wish you could stay. Oooh aaah ooohh ooohh, But I know you’re ok. Now I’m in your room and I feel lost in time, Cos I can’t move a thing you put your hands on, And I know you would laugh, if you saw me too, Protecting these objects like a statue of you. Chorus Now that you’re gone I feel so lost inside, Guess we hadn’t accounted for this change in our lives, Will I ever feel like me without you? Please help me along, like I would help you. Chorus Verse 1
