With a range of tastemaker support from both press and radio as well as three singles cracking the Irish Breakers Chart, Pauric O’ Meara is cementing his position as one to watch. Live, Dublin singer-songwriter has sold out headline shows across Ireland, in venues such as Whelans, the Grand Social, Dolans and Cyprus Avenue. As a support act, he’s opened for fellow future classics Swim Deep, Red Rum Club, The Royston Club, Hermitage Green and Hudson Taylor.
Pauric’s latest single is ‘Adore’, a release that starts a three-track story of self-discovery and putting the best version of yourself out there. Heartfelt songwriting is on full show here, with subtle instrumentation underlying rich vocal melodies. By merging reverberant arrangements of acoustic guitar strings and choir-like harmony, Pauric creates a sense of meaningfulness in his words, bringing pop sensibilities into his folky sounds for an infectious finished product.
Pauric explains, “Adore is a personal heartache that made its way onto paper. It is about how it feels to be loved conditionally, and the fight that we put up to achieve what we deserve. For some, it works out for the better in the long run, for others, it just gets worse until there’s no going back.
When we recorded this single initially, the tension of what the lyrics are portraying were not being felt to its fullest, which was felt by the entire band, as we could all relate to the story. The layers of strings bring this tension to life, and has made this personal song of mine from a story, to a visual and emotional exploration of how it feels to be in such a position.”
