Richard Murray Music

Im an Alt. Country artist from Northern Ireland. Im influenced by the Americana movement of the 90s along with classic rock and celtic music. I was a session musician in London for many years before beginning my solo career in 2007 with my debut album Desert Wind. I also write for TV, Film and other artists. My music has been described as Heartland Rock, tastefully arranged and well produced. Sung richly and soulfully with careful character studies.

Long Distance Baby

From the Borealis albumLong Distance BabyLong distance babyWe'e takin the long way downYoure the stars youre TipperaryAll the miles in your eyes of brownMy long distance babyLong distance babyAll the pictures I took in my mindYour smile your wedding dressI reach out but theyre hard to findLying crumpled somewhere in a recessWe bled out all our high timesWe drove just too damn hardAn ocean between our primeAnd a love to worn and scarredIts a long distance babyLong distance babyYou gotta keep that rig a rollinHaul that bag of bonesOr she'll be on that mystery train boySixteen coaches longLong distance babyWe're takin the long way downIf we could even talk some maybeWe could pull out of this ghost townI want to send out this wounded white doveOut beyond the water wideAnd meet again my first loveDown by the riversideBut its a long distance babyLong distance babyLong distance baby

Celtic - infused song about companionship being one of the most important things in life.

Why o' Why

A great tune co-written and produced by myself with the very talented Bridget Sweeny. Bridget recently moved to Ireland from New York and I was fortunate enough to gain her as my neighbour. This is hopefully the first of many collaborations. I recently co-wrote and produced a fantastic tune with the incredibly talented Bridget Sweeny.
