Richard Murray Interview
Inside Story, Kate Stewart interviews Richard Murray. Richard is an Alt. Country artist from Northern Ireland who is influenced by the Americana movement of the 90s along with classic rock and celtic music. He was a session musician in London for many years before beginning his solo career in 2007 with my debut album Desert Wind. He also writes for TV, Film and other artists. His music has been described as Heartland Rock, tastefully arranged and well produced. Sung richly and soulfully with careful character studies.
Dione - Fragile World
“FRAGILE WORLD” Just think about what you have heard and seen in this world; you will surely come to agree with me that strange things are happening in this world. When I first wrote down the lyrics of this song, the original version says “Evil World” but this was hard for me to accept so I tried to make it less cruel by changing “Evil World” to “Fragile World”. But what if the things we refuse to believe are true? What if the things we can’t see are real? Strange things are happening in this world; What if the world is really evil? Let God’s goodness and mercy locate us as we listen to the lyrics of my new song ‘FRAGILE WORLD’
