about
Peter Doran has released details of his first single in six years, ‘Nothing New Under The Sun’ is due out Friday, 12th February. It is taken from ‘Voices’ his upcoming album, due for release this year. Supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media.
Speaking about the release Peter Doran explains: “This is a song about those moments when you feel burned-out, uninspired, lacking in faith and vision. When you've given the best of yourself to a pursuit and fallen short when you speak without conviction and find yourself sleepwalking through your days.
It's about that feeling and figuring out a way to shake yourself free of it, to feel vital once more. "Give me one time, something tribal, something bloody for my survival". The final verse offers hope of reinvention and the belief that there is something yet to become. Features guest vocals from Irish Songwriter Emmett Tinley.

lyrics
Nothing New Under the Sun
There’s nothing to see here, nothing new under the sun
There’s nothing beneath the brief illumination
of whiskey evenings and nineties reruns
I followed the rapture and I followed my passions
I couldn’t give them what they were asking
I wanna meet someone once without a mask on
Sycamore trees and frozen traffic
And all the living things on automatic
There’s nothing holy, nothing tragic
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
There’s nothing to fight for and no prizes to be won
There’s not much left of my great imagination
So I sit back and let the projector run
Could you give me one time something tribal
Something bloody for my survival
Something deeper than this simulation runs
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
Is there something to be here, is there something to become
Is there something to move to but these tired dance songs
Is there something even that we could take a chance on
In all this sleepwalking
All this cheap talking
Saying nothing, going nowhere
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
Only just holding on to what I once thought I was
There’s nothing to see here, nothing new under the sun
There’s nothing beneath the brief illumination
of whiskey evenings and nineties reruns
I followed the rapture and I followed my passions
I couldn’t give them what they were asking
I wanna meet someone once without a mask on
Sycamore trees and frozen traffic
And all the living things on automatic
There’s nothing holy, nothing tragic
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
There’s nothing to fight for and no prizes to be won
There’s not much left of my great imagination
So I sit back and let the projector run
Could you give me one time something tribal
Something bloody for my survival
Something deeper than this simulation runs
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
Is there something to be here, is there something to become
Is there something to move to but these tired dance songs
Is there something even that we could take a chance on
In all this sleepwalking
All this cheap talking
Saying nothing, going nowhere
And I’m just sleepwalking
I’m just cheap talking
Never really saying anything at all
Only just holding on to what I once thought I was
