about

One of these reflections crystallized into his first release, Don’t Let Me Win:
»I had successfully argued myself out of a good relationship, winning an argu- ment I should have lost, and lost more than I intended in doing so. While I was reflecting and simultaneously recording with my phone, the whole song came out almost in one piece that just needed a bit of sculpting.«
A feeling of never-ending floats about the loop of this song, according to Enda very similar to his mental state at the time, moving in spirals. It might be the reason why the final production of Don’t Let Me Win, equally done by himself, proved tricky. »I tried three bass players,« Enda says and laughs. »It was such
a special song, it felt like I was auditioning the band. I knew if they could handle the sensitivity needed for this song, they could handle all the other bigger stuff.«

lyrics

Lyrics

Don’t let me win
Don’t let me win now
Just because I’m
so good at arguing

Cos I was too strong
I went too far
A shot to your mind and a second
to your heart,
I didn’t hold back
Although I could have
I wasn’t patience enough
for you to be heard but

Don’t let me win
Don’t let me win
Just because I’m
so good at arguing
Don’t let me win
Don’t let me win now
Just because I’m
so good at arguing

I was just tired
Of hearing the same
It wasn’t going well
for us lately after all this time
And you were just scared
I laid it too bare
I have been working
on this for so long

So Don’t let me quit
Don’t let me hit out
at those
who love me the most
That’s you.

Don’t let me win, Don’t let me win
Just because I’m, so good at arguing
Don’t let me win, Don’t let me win now
Just because I’m so good at arguing
