Praying For Rain By A Bone-Dry Well: - Lyrics, Poems, Prose: July-September 2025 -


Overview

Praying For Rain By A Bone-Dry Well A collection of three lyric, poem and prose anthologies of the Irish singer/songwriter Paul Murphy. This volume contains his last works, July-September 2025, and contains a sweeping range of tales in song, ballad, narrative and folk forms. The material here comprises the volumes 'I Forgot To Say' (July 2025), 'The Lights Are Almost Out' (August 2025), and 'A Farewell, Of Sorts' (September 2025), and collates all the known prose and lyric writings of Paul Murphy during that time, except for the stand-alone, 100,000-word novel-in-song 'Faded Stardust'. 80 works created by a semi-paralysed man in just 92 days, and, amazingly, whilst working commensurately on a 1,200-verse song. Many of the pieces herein reflect the more sombre side of life: broken relationships; social injustice; persecution of the individual, and of agencies of goodwill; emotional upheaval; enforced famines, and, given that their author knew he had lost his 10-year battle against a muscle-wasting auto-immune disorder, mortality. Also included is an amalgamated essay, 'Last Curtain Down', detailing the composition circumstances and back-stories to each song; alternate, unused covers; online promotional artworks; and photographs of the original handwritten manuscripts. Moving, heartwarming, emotive, thought-provoking and, occasionally, disquieting, this anthology collates some of the finest lyrical works of a master songwriter whose narrative talent burned bright until his last line was written.
