I’ve long loved the song Lilac Wine which I first heard on the Jeff Buckley album Grace – one of my top 5 albums of all time, so when my old friend, super-talented guitarist Ryan Oelofse suggested we do a cover together, I jumped at the chance. Here’s what we came up with!
I hope you like it, and if you do, please spread the word!
Lots of love, Meta xx
A Happy Monday to you, one and all! Metaphorest here with an update on all things me at the moment! Hope you don’t have sore post-St. Patrick’s Day heads!
You may or may not know that I write scripts as well as songs. One such script was a supernatural chiller by the name of Lord of Tears. (You can watch the trailer here.) In March of last year, 13 of us ventured off to a spooky old mansion in the Scottish Highlands to shoot the film and ever since, Lawrie (the director/editor/producer!) has been working on the edit. Now, the film is basically complete and to help fund marketing the film, producing DVDs and creating an awesome soundtrack album (which I’m producing along with the guys who produced my album – Craig Sutherland and Andy McDonald) we launched our very first Kickstarter campaign. We’ve been humbled and delighted by the response to the campaign, not only the pledges made, but the support from friends, family, horror fans and the blogosphere!
Shawn Nelson, an awfully kind filmmaker from the US has produced a super-slick video for my album track ‘Everything, Baby’. It’s a tragic take on the lyrical love song featuring beautiful actress Lavenda Memory and shot on an exceptionally fancy Red Epic. Lawrie Brewster – post-producer extraordinaire stepped in to edit and grade the video. Many thanks to all who brought this sweet film to life!
You can watch it in all it’s dreamy glory here!

Back in January of 2012, I penned a spooky script about a troubled man who returns to his childhood home in search of answers. We shot the supernatural thriller three months later in an isolated mansion in the Scottish Highlands – 13 of us including director Lawrie Brewster and stars Euan Douglas and Lexy Hulme.

I had the pleasure of speaking with author and screenwriter Caroline Farrell about my work in the film world for her series on Irish women in the industry. Thought I’d share it here for anyone interested in what I get up to when I’m not making melodies!
