My Joy

from My Joy by Robb Murphy

about

‘My Joy’ is a delicate yet upbeat love song narrating how love grows from young to old. This single is the first release from an album that will be released at the end of April 2022.

The song was recorded during 2021 with support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media via The Music Industry Stimulus Package. It features two members of the Ulster Orchestra, Danny McCann-Williams performing violin, and Sian Evans performing cello. Danny also arranged the strings.

Accompanying the song is a stunning video filmed by David McGarvey showcasing the picturesque Mourne Mountains and the east coast of Northern Ireland. This video project was funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s Creative Individuals Recovery Program.

lyrics

I heard somebody say
We weren’t built in that way
Now its been ten years more
And I still come through that door

When I was just a boy
My heart was filled with joy
Some years can leave you burned
Now my joy has returned

I will be the one for you
I will share it all with you
And when our minds are tired and old I will hold you
Just like we are new

It is a lonely heart
That makes true love depart
I once was just like you
Stubborn in my point of view
It’s what men do

I will be the one for you
I will share it all with you
And when our minds are tired and old I will hold you
Just like we are new

And all I see is colours when I hold you tight
It takes much more than dollars just to make it right
Yeah there’s ups and downs but even day has night

I will be the one for you
I will share it all with you
And when our minds are tired and old I will hold you

And I will give it all to you
Nothing less would ever do
And when our days are nearly though I will still love
Just like we are new
