about

Numb is the first release of a handful of new Dowry material Éna has been working on in studio this past year with producer and friend Stephen Tiernan (Participant); This release follows on from Éna’s one-take experimental and purely instrumental debut single In É. Strings remain at the forefront of Dowry’s sound, but with Numb we now find the addition of the voice, guitar, keys and percussion; instruments which have since crept into Éna’s live setup.

lyrics

My body goes numb as between my thumbs
I feel the salt of the sea dancing here for centuries
Mind clear but legs weak floating and forgetting
what has to be done this week

Can I stay here? as my shivers disappear
and as my veins begin to drain out the beer
Can I stay here?

My laugh has never been this full
giving into whichever the current chooses to pull
over ripe losing fright of no longer feeling my skin at all
The sun is lowering now, grounded birds their head do bow
It's time to return to shore
There's plenty of time to return for more

Can I stay here? as my shivers disappear
and as my veins begin to drain out the beer
Can I stay here?

Can I stay here? as my worries disappear
and as my veins begin to drain out the fear
Can I stay here?
