I love your irish heart and the artistry that allows you to share it with a total stranger, many thousands of miles away. I feel very emotionally vulnerable when I hear you sing. Your guitar is grateful to be caressed by such knowng hands. The world is a better place because Declan O'rourke is in it.
It would be tempting to believe that the truly great singer-songwriters - Dylan, Cohen, Prine, Browne, Taylor, etc. - all arose in the mid-60's, with everyone else that followed being mere imitators. Listening to even a few songs by Declan O'Rourke will dispel that myth. Declan's melodic gifts; his evocative and oh-so-very-wise poetry, his innovative guitar playing, and his astonishing and expressive vocals, with an unmatched range, show that his name belongs in any list of the above-mentioned greats. Give him a proper listen. You won't regret it.
Agree whole-heartedly. James Taylor's music is the soundtrack of my youth and Declan's is the music of today for me. I am brought to tears by the way he weaves words and music.
