A Band Called Paul

Based in Dublin, Ireland, A Band Called Paul is the creation of former orchestral percussionist, soundtrack composer and session musician Paul McDonnell. The band's music reflects the variety and depth of Paul's musical career with deft lane changes between hard rock, Latin jazz, indie rock, electronica and world music.

A Band Called Paul released their debut album, "Primero", in February 2019. They have released four singles from the album to date:

- the Latin jazz "Hero Two" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CrOgzj3JBQ)

- the darkly electronic "Freefall" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIW450wY3AQ)

- the upbeat 60’s-influenced indie rock “In It For Money” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA4Vyu_Nv6s)

- the stadium-rock-with a-twist “Shimalay” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKgLd9sqf84)

“SLOW TRAIN” is the band’s first release beyond their debut album “Primero”.

The band's sound has been described as if Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The The and Beck were to collaborate. That applies to roughly half of what they do.

Slow Train - A Band Called Paul (Lyrics)

 

Down in a carriage that's closer to the back
There sits a man in a Panama hat.
His face is turned to the window with a look in his eyes that says
Whatever happens it will come as no surprise

And there's people at the front, people at the back,
People all around me as we roll along the track
And we're leaning to the left, veering to the right,
Coming down a tunnel with the end of it in sight

And it's a slow train passing through
Yeah it's a slow train and it's coming for you.

I see a woman and her daughter, or I think that's who they are.
They're sitting facing on the right side of the car.
The woman listens as the younger one speaks.
She's talking quickly like she hasn't talked for weeks

And there's people at the front, people at the back,
People all around me as we roll along the track
And we're leaning to the left, veering to the right,
Coming down a tunnel with the end of it in sight

And it's a slow train passing through
Yeah it's a slow train and it's coming for you.
It's a slow train passing through
Yeah it's a slow train and it's coming for you.

People at the front, people at the back,
People all around me as we roll along the track
And we're leaning to the left, veering to the right,
Coming down a tunnel with the end of it in sight

And it's a slow train passing through
Yeah it's a slow train and it's coming for you.
It's a slow train passing through
Yeah it's a slow train and it's coming for you.
