Anam Cara is a phrase that refers to the Celtic concept of the "soul friend" in religion and spirituality. The phrase is an anglicization of the Irish word anamchara, anam meaning "soul" and cara meaning "friend".
The ancient Celts believed in a soul that radiated about the body. They believed that when two individuals formed a deep and lasting bond that their souls would mingle. Therefore, each person could be said to have found their "anam cara", or "soul friend".
Anam Cara is my deeply personal and transformative musical journey that delves into the raw
emotions of betrayal, particularly when it comes from those we hold closest to our hearts.
This album is an honest and introspective reflection on the profound impact that betrayal can have on our lives, as well as the strength and resilience that can emerge from such experiences.
Each track on this album is a poignant testament to the complexities of human relationships and the profound sense of loss and disillusionment.
Drawing inspiration from a letter that I wrote in 2014 but that was never sent, these songs serve as a cathartic outlet for my journey through a world turned upside down.
Anam Cara serves as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, we have the capacity to emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient. I Hope my music invites you to embrace your own journey .
