Pa Sheehy frontman of the Irish chart-conquering band Walking On Cars, has released his debut solo single ‘I Saw You At A Funeral’. 

‘I Saw You At A Funeral’ is a beautifully arranged tune wrapped in delicate instrumentation and poignant songwriting. This emotional track drifts through icy keys, soft backing vocals and delicately building soundscapes as Sheehy’s vocals express the song’s emotional lyrics. “Oh you know I still remember the day you chose to go. Mom was in the kitchen, saying, “now we’re on our own”. Sheehy takes a minimalist approach which heightens the song’s stirring message. ‘I Saw You At A Funeral’ is a thought-provoking, time-stopping piece of music and an utterly compelling debut solo single from Pa Sheehy. 

Speaking about the new single ‘I Saw You At A Funeral’ Pa Sheehy said: “This is a song I find easier to sing than talk about. I didn’t want to give this part of my life too much attention because I was doing my best to focus on the good things in my life. But every time I sat down to write a song, it was always the first thing that jumped out of me. So I knew I had to get it out of my system. After it was written, it was all about not over doing it with the production. With such a blunt song it didn’t need any bells and whistles. A little keyboard arpeggio and some atmospheric sounds was enough to glide it home. My siblings listened to it once but won’t listen to it anymore. I take that as a compliment.”
