WELCOME TO CORKCORERUN is a singer/songwriter recording, very well built if you don’t mind listening to just a guitar and a vocal. It has catchy songs crafted like rock tunes, which are rather diverse and could be considered “folky.” It starts with an instrumental, continues with lighthearted tunes, gets more serious towards the middle, runs for about 40 minutes and has a hankering to show you, very publicly and sincerely, what folk, classical, rock, jazz, country, flamenco, blues and bluegrass influences sound like when packaged together as simple songs.

music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
there’s a whole lot of nothin’ goin’ on / a whole lot of nothin’ goin’ on // when i was raised / i wanted to be praised / i’m still waiting to see the light / what’s the point of all the strife // because i feel like there’s nothin’ goin’ on / no one but your ego says i’m wrong // can’t believe you’ll cry / while you leave me alone to die / but i’m a whole lot better without you now // whole lot of nothin’ goin’ on / a whole lot of uh / cryin’ goin’ on // i wanted to be alone / but i can’t find the room / i’m a whole lot better off now than i was letting you upset me every night / whole lot of nothin’ goin’ on // i’m waiting for my feelings to be wrong / to be wrong // i can only take it so many times / i’m a whole lot better now / a whole lot of nothin’ goin’ / i said a whole / well uh whole lot of nothin’ / a whole lot of nothin’ goin’ on

04. I'M NEVER ALONE WHEN I THINK OF YOU (3'04)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
i’m traveling down the road / and i feel blue / the radio’s broken and my phone is too / and the road goes on and on again / i’m never alone when i think of you // friendless / hopeless / and tired / i am marooned / i try to talk to myself but i don’t get through / and a minute is a day without an end / i’m never alone when i think of you

music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
i’ve got everything i could want / more than i’ll ever need / i’m not cold sick or hungry / so i’m gonna try to be grateful / yes i’m gonna try // i’d like to thank my family / all my friends / and everyone who’s ever been kind to me / as for the people i’ve mistreated / i’d like to say / please forgive me // i’m grateful for the sunshine / for every day and everything i’ve ever seen / so if i ever forget this feeling / if i ever forget this song / please help me remember / and i’ll be grateful again

07. PEACE OF MIND (3'41)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
some days i need a little time / a few kind words to ease my troubled mind // so don’t take it away / please don’t take it away from me / ’cause we all know that sometimes / we need a little peace of mind // so what can we do / about finding some peace of mind / what can we do / about leaving no one behind // so when you see someone / it doesn’t matter who / just a smile / is all you need to do // and we’ll be on our way / to a better day / when we can all have a little peace of mind

08. IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT (4'17)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
there’s a feeling that i’m holding / a kind of feeling you can hold on to / a kind of feeling that can’t be broken // so i need a little room / i’m gonna find a way / to let it go / and once i calm down // it’s gonna be all right // if you don’t believe then you won’t know / what your heart can be and see / which everybody knows / the burdens that haunt you so // so when you feel a little troubled thought all alone / left by itself will walk away / you can let it go / that’s all you need to know // it’s gonna be all right

09. WALK TOGETHER ONE MORE TIME (3'31)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
ever since you went away / life’s an enduring haze / because our hearts / our hearts are still one / if we could walk together one more time // it seemed like it would never end / all the mornings when we were sleeping in / and i try / i try to go on / if we could walk together one more time // some how / some way / we’ll find each other on the other side / dancing hearts / peaceful minds // some how / some way / i swear / i swear i would give it all away / if we could just walk together one more time

10. WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE (2'34)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
from the streets of new york / to the shores of dublin / to the fields in luzon / it seems to me / we all need something to believe / we all need something to believe // from the prayers in garzón / to the fears in milan / to the hopes in tehran / it seems to me / we all need something to believe / we all need something to believe // something to call our own / something that says we belong / something that says we’re not alone / something that feels like home / something to believe // we all need something to believe / we all need something to believe

12. DON'T GIVE UP NOW (3'53)
music & lyrics by TODD CORCORAN
when the days are short and dying / when the pressure’s too much to bare / when all joy is hidden / don’t give up now // it seems like the world’s against you / you feel its misery in your veins / you’ve been beaten down to nothing / don’t give up now // what’s the point of anything / if you’ve forgotten why you cared // don’t give up now / don’t give up now / don’t give up now
