PADDY AND THE RATS - Castaway (Official Video) | Napalm Records

Music & Lyrics by Paddy O'Reilly

Polka, Punk & Pirate-party! PADDY AND THE RATS bringing the Irish pub glory straight to your merry home!

Ireland! Shamrocks, shenanigans, sheep and pubs are some of the many highlights the Emerald Isle has to offer – that`s what Hungarian punk rockers Paddy And The Rats rightfully realized and quickly whipped out their fiddles and plugged in their guitars. Well, it`s one thing to dream about being Irish, but the Miskolc-based six piece instead brooded over a couple of cold beers and rum casks and decided to throw a hefty dose of pirate-isms, polka and gypsy punk into the mix! Their fifth album Riot City Outlaws is a bold step into a bright future boosted by the raw and powerful production by Grammy winner Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Megadeth, Social Distortion, Pennywise). Both Cameron and singer Paddy O`Reilly opted for a cool pop-punk approach in the vein of Green Day – overflowing with catchy choruses and dynamic up-tempo songs, Of course there are pirate party anthems like ‘Join the riot‘ and ‘One last ale‘, as well as shanties such as ‘Black Sails‘ and ‘Where Red Paints the Ocean‘ equally show the darker side of life on the Seven Seas.

Tipsy ballads ‘Castaway‘ and ‘Another life‘ plus a healthy infusion of Irish influenced punk rock songs (‘Blow‘, ‘Aerolites‘) round off a grimy pirate party bringing unwashed pub glory straight to your merry home!

Ah, yes, the perfect music, I have found it. A country style beat, a catchy corus, and existential lyrics. Nothing more will I be wanting to have than this

"I hope I find the place where I belong"

This one hit me pretty hard

[agotaludmann]

Köszönünk mindent Bernát! Nyugodj békében!

[lucasmartin]

Don't know if i will find peace for my broken heart, but I am glad I found this song. Its a start.

[nadinegalus]

I shared this song with my nephew when he was going through a rough patch of depression as a way of reminding himself to keep moving forward and that he WILL find peace. I didn't realize how much this song would help him. I wish these guys would tour in the US so I could have a chance to take my nephew to go see them.

I might also have a slight crush on Bernie Bellamy (Bernát Babicsek - accordion)! 😍

[aaronengel]

I'm a metalhead but I fucking love this band!! Napalm records is never wrong!! Metal or not!

[U.SFreedomU.S]

This song is very deep. It speaks volumes to most in this world.

[obiguankenovy]

As I walk along the lonely shore
On life I'm wondering
Don't know why is it so hard to let go
All that I believed
Leave the child inside me on the road
For the man I must become
I hope I find the place where I belong

The night is dark, I need find
A lighthouse on the coast It should lead me and it's light my mind
And drive away my ghosts
I early learned the power of love But many times I've failed
As I could free myself from all my chains

Here I go a castaway
Try to turn my storm to silence Here I go against the dark to find the light
Here I go against the rain
To find my soaking soul asylum ‘Til I find peace for my broken heart
My prideful mind is always false to my pure humble heart
Always leads me to the wrong decision ‘til I fall apart Responsibility, it must win over happiness
But my idealistic soul won't acquiesce
So I find myself in doubt
But I'm holding on It's a lifelong blackout
But I'm holding on I feel I lost my route
But I'm holding on
Desperately I'm crying out That I'm holding on

[bibou]
