Departure

Departure

Lisa Coen

By way of Athlone-based Kim Lightholder’s soulful vocals and husband Sean’s elegiac lyrics, ‘Departure’ is a haunting yet economic account of frustration. The song’s muted humanity gently imposes itself on the listener, hinting at a failed affair, regret and renewal. A beautifully written and elegantly performed heart-rending treat.
