about

'Prison Robes' explores the relationship between sisters Méabh and Mella Carron in dealing with serious family illness, and finding ways to overcome the burden together.

CARRON are a celtic folk outfit from Dublin, led by the harmonious sisters, Méabh and Mella Carron. They take influence from both classic acts such as Fleetwood Mac, The Corrs, and Joni Mitchell, as well as newer bands such as Little Green Cars, Hozier, and Wyvern Lingo, aiming to combine a contemporary celtic-folk sound with elements of pop music from across a number of generations.

lyrics

We’re never ready for attack
Prison robe upon your back
Her tethered arms, my weary voice
A hundred times among the noise

Cold, dead, light
Fading in the firing line.
Bold and white,
And nothing but an empty smile.

I'll build from the rubble all around your feet
My will to promise what I cannot keep
I'll build a tunnel from your disbelief
Make fire, that only you and I can see

Theres something strange about this town.
I'm playing house with hand-me-downs.
He’s aging grey, and I’m afraid to know.
Beneath the waves time moves slow.

Lets run away, run away, run away now, ohhh...
