about

Wishing On Forever invites you to wistfully float along, all the while pulling you into a unique world of introspection and questioning. It's relaxed groove and sentimental feel perfectly complement the crafty songwriting, and the lyricism of Cronin who has a knack for timeless sentiment and rich imagery is his songs.

It is sonically delicate and precise, displaying the best, most intimate aspects of the acoustic genre combined with an inventive and experimental modern approach. Wishing On Forever is the precursor to his album Aloft In Blue which explores some of the deepest existential concerns of our time coupled with lush and emotive soundscapes cementing Cronin as an artist for this moment and setting him at the cutting edge of contemporary folk.

lyrics

Take the handle bars
As fools collide in cars
Can you hear it as it starts
The cry of history repeating

All these things they'll soon mean nothing
As the chronicle is cast
Weeping and wondering why
such things must last

When we don't know why
The present fades before us
We don't know where it disappears
All we know is that it will

We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever

Times a sinking barge
We are rusting, we aren't anchored
As the seasons turn to ones we can't believe in

Standing for some kind of system
With pursuit for pride and full of false rewards
Playing games to hourglasses
Which we turn however fast
Suits us now we can only measure
We need to learn we can't control it

No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever

See we don't know why
The present fades before us
We don't know where it disappears
All we know is that it will

Yeah, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
No, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
