about
'Waterside' combines ambient minimalism with folk-song idioms. It’s the first single from O Deer’s
(Oisín Walsh-Peelo’s) upcoming debut album. It’s chilled-out and reflective. The sound's are
organically built-up using all acoustic instruments while mellow vocals float above this warm
cushion of sound.
lyrics
Swans are looking pretty in the centre of the city by the waterside
Seems they’re going nowhere sometimes nowhere can be nice for a while
Maybe they’re concealing they’re secretly bereaving their loss of the waterlines
Sick and tired of sharing a world that doesn’t want them around
I’m not faking that I’m broken by that token I have spoken by the waterside
We’re not faking, we’re not broken, by that token we have taken our time
You see a face in the water, you don’t falter if it alters, you’ve seen it all before
See your face in the water, you don’t falter if it alters at all
Can I cuddle your curve in the morning I am mourning your loss before you’ve even left
Now that I’m going nowhere in every single sense of the phrase
Seems the pain is holding me back I’ve backtracked to another time
Even though it’s always there, it’s just a phase
I’m not faking that I’m broken by that token I have spoken by the waterside
We’re not faking, we’re not broken, by that token we are taking our time
You see a face in the water, you don’t falter if it alters you’ve seen it all before
See your face in the water, you don’t falter if it alters at all

O Deer is the musical project of Oisín Walsh-Peelo from Wicklow in Ireland. Inspired by folk idioms, Oisín’s music
is
mellow and delicate and draws from his diverse musical language.
Now based in West-Cork, Oisín has travelled extensively with his music.
As touring and live music came to a stop in 2020, Oisín used this slower pace to record his debut
album which is set for release in 2022....more
