Track: Deal With It
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Liberation/Nomad Records
Recorded: Kings Cross, London

Deal With It sets a powerful start to the album, giving the listener a sense of aggression towards those who don't like him, but keeps up with Rory's party antics, singing about his feelings whilst drinking in a club. The song starts off with a "We Will Rock You" style drum intro, which maintains throughout the whole song. The verses contain the vocals, bass and drums, with the guitar kicking in for the choruses and the breakdown, the song isn't one to get the crowd jumping until the final chorus, where the song gets more energetic and a little bit heavier with the guitars and the drums get faster, making the last chorus one to mosh to at a live concert.

Rory's say

"Deal With It was written while I was with Suzie. I was getting heaps of abuse through Twitter from people who didn't like me, didn't like Suzie or just genuinely wanted someone to shout at and chose me, so this song was written as a massive 'fuck you' to people who don't like me. It's not my problem if a few people don't like me and I thought I'd just express it through a song."

Lyrics

Thumping head and a bottle of jack
Guess I should have stopped, but I never look back
Drinking so much that my kidneys are ready to pack
Strobe lighting in the room, a nightmare for the epileptic
Got a number from a lovely bird, guess I should have kept it

You got a problem with me, but I don't give a shit
We live separate lives, so deal with it
They tell me to stop, but I'm never gonna quit
Deal with it
I've got a one track system in my mind
I'm sticking to the plan even if you testify
This is what I'm like so deal with it

Bloodshot eyes that beam so wide
Not ready to stop while I'm still flying high
My girl thinks I'm meeting my parents, whoops I guess I lied
Strobe lighting in the room, a nightmare for the epileptic
Got a number from a lovely bird, guess I should have kept it

You got a problem with me, but I don't give a shit
We live separate lives, so deal with it
They tell me to stop, but I'm never gonna quit
Deal with it
I've got a one track system in my mind
I'm sticking to the plan even if you testify
This is what I'm like so deal with it

We live separate lives, deal with it
You're not on my mind, deal with it
To your rules we won't abide, deal with it
Deal with it
We live separate lives, deal with it
You're not on my mind, deal with it
To your rules we won't abide, deal with it
So deal with it

You got a problem with me, but I don't give a shit
We live separate lives, so deal with it
They tell me to stop, but I'm never gonna quit
Deal with it
I've got a one track system in my mind
I'm sticking to the plan even if you testify
This is what I'm like so deal with it

You got a problem with me, but I don't give a shit
We live separate lives, so deal with it
They tell me to stop, but I'm never gonna quit
Deal with it
I've got a one track system in my mind
I'm sticking to the plan even if you testify
This is what I'm like so deal with it

Track Three
Wrapped Around Your Finger
4:20

Track: Wrapped Around Your Finger
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Liberation/Nomad Records
Recorded: Kings Cross, London
Produced by: Taylor Asbridge
Writen by: Rory Delaney
Personnel: Rory Delaney (Vocals), Chris Fielding (Guitar), Zak Collins (Bass guitar), George Edwards (Drums)

Wrapped Around Your Finger is a much more soothing song through the chorus, but delivers a massive shock with a pacy and rocky chorus as opposed to the calmer verses. Rory's voice is a lot more subtle and chilled throughout the verse whilst the guitar is playing twiddly bits and nice leads which accompanies the verse perfectly. The chorus then jumps in unexpectedly and speeds the song up and makes it more energetic. The song then keeps up the energy for the rest of the song, including the next verse, which instead of having lead guitar it's played with distorted chords and slap bass before heading into the second chorus. The chorus is played identically to the first before extending to the 'You got me wrapped around you finger' section, where the song sounds more like an anthem before stopping suddenly with just a guitar softly strumming as Rory sings 'I can't take this anymore', bringing a softer touch to the song before the first two lines of the chorus are sung softly. The chorus then belts out again, stronger than the first two before the 'You got me wrapped around your finger' section and the chorus repeat again with the song ending on a fading, clean chord.

Rory's say

"Well, what can I say? This song was written about someone very close to me who rejected me twice, although since this song came out everything has changed and now this woman is my gorgeous girlfriend... But the song is still nice and she likes it so I ain't gonna get rid of it. *Cough* Veronica *Cough* Anyway, I guess the point of this song is that you can't always get what you want, no matter how near you think you are to getting it. I was just lucky I guess. Also I believe that no matter what happens in live, you should never give up on what you dream of. I didn't and now I've got an amazing girl by my side. Result LADs, result."

Lyrics

You're the best thing that's happened to me
All I wanted was you, can't you see? Can't you see?
But when I picked up the courage to even try
No was the answer and alone I lie, alone I lie

'cause when the suns out, I'll pull the blinds down
I'm not in the mood for happiness
'cause when I feel high, you pull me down, down
Broken and wanting everything to turn around, around

Felt a real connection, you were my satisfaction
Got the choice between everyone or you, I picked you
And I waited for a three lettered answer
But little did I knew, I got two, I got two

'cause when the suns out, I'll pull the blinds down
I'm not in the mood for happiness
'cause when I feel high, you pull me down, down
Broken and wanting everything to turn around, around

You've got me wrapped around your finger
You got me left with a taste in my mouth, so bitter
I guess my flaw is that I'm not a quitter
So I try and try again but I'm not getting nearer

I cannot take this anymore
You got me wrapped around your finger
I cannot take this anymore
You got me wrapped around your finger
I cannot take this, I cannot take this
You got me wrapped around your finger
You push me away, but I come back for more
You got me, you got me

'cause when the suns out, I'll pull the blinds down
I'm not in the mood for happiness

'cause when the suns out, I'll pull the blinds down
I'm not in the mood for happiness
'cause when I feel high, you pull me down, down
Broken and wanting everything to turn around, around

'cause when the suns out, I'll pull the blinds down
I'm not in the mood for happiness
'cause when I feel high, you pull me down, down
Broken and wanting everything to turn around, around

You've got me wrapped around your finger
You got me left with a taste in my mouth, so bitter
I guess my flaw is that I'm not a quitter
So I try and try again but I'm not getting nearer

Track Five
Ten Years Ago
2:31

Track: Ten Years Ago
Genre: Acoustic
Label: Liberation/Nomad Records
Recorded: Kings Cross, London
Produced by: Taylor Asbridge
Writen by: Rory Delaney
Personnel: Rory Delaney (Vocals), Chris Fielding (Guitar)

Ten Years Ago is the most heartfelt song on the album, expressing Rory's emotions about his grandfather's suicide with his voice sounding a lot calmer but his vocals display his sadness and sorrow about the situation. The song doesn't feature bass or drums as it is just Rory's vocals and an acoustic guitar. The song starts with a few chords before Rory's vocals join in, singing the first two verses softly. The song then goes into the first chorus, where Rory's vocals are more passionate and sound as if Rory could just burst into tears mid-song, although he doesn't. The song then slowly heads into the third verse, with Rory's vocals a little less calm but still soft and sung through his heart with Chris strumming the chords now instead of letting them ring once. Rory sounded a little shaky through the third verse as if he had cried before recording the third verse and the vocals were definitely not his best during that section, but go back into the second chorus where he sounds fine again, singing identically to the first until the extension in the chorus, where he sings louder and more using his throat and the chords are strummed harder bringing up a really dark vibe to his emotions, before slowing down again for the breakdown where the song sounds more powerful, but dark as Rory belts out his words with all he can until the last chorus approaches, with Rory singing acapella until the last word, with one last chord ending the song.

Rory's say

"Recording Ten Years Ago was emotional torture to me, I struggled to sing because I'd just burst into tears between each take and I fully agree that my singing wasn't the best in this song compared to the other songs on the album, but if I'm honest I feel like I did my grandfather proud and I hope whereever he is right now that he can hear this song and I hope he's happy now. I love you, grandpa Ian."

Lyrics

Ten years ago today, I let you slip away
Couldn't hold on much longer
And everyday's the same, I still scream your name
Because your name's all that I've got left of you

I tried to numb the pain
With alcohol but I'm still going insane
And nothing's been the same, just waiting for a change
Because I can't sit around and wait for your forever

Ten years from that day, the pain won't wash away
And I'm trying, trying to forget
Ten years from that day and I still hear your name
Ringing through my head

Ever since you walked away
From my life, it's all been clouds and rain
And I swear to God, I'd give up the money and the fame
Just to get thirty minutes in your arms again

Ten years from that day, the pain won't wash away
And I'm trying, trying to forget
Ten years from that day and I still hear your name
Ringing through my head
And I can't go on, holding on to hope that I won't remember a thing
Ten years from that day

Why did you go without one last goodbye?
No one to hold me or say good night, sleep tight
All I do when I think of you is cry out my eyes
But it's too late to change a thing, it ended ten years ago on this night

Ten years from that day, the pain won't wash away
And I'm trying, trying to forget
Ten years from that day and I still hear your name
Ringing through my head
And I can't go on, holding on to hope that I won't remember a thing
Ten years from that day
