Meryl Streek - Songs For The Deceased

Dublin based political punk provocateur Meryl Streek is set to make his long awaited return with brand new single ‘Paddy’ taken from the new album ‘Songs For The Deceased’ (out Oct 25).

“The new single is about my uncle Paddy who sadly died about 5 years ago. He was very young and it was very unexpected”. Meryl Streek continues, “My whole life I remember Paddy reading books, watching old movies and just being one of the smartest people I had in my life. He got it from my grandad and was raised that way of course. An avid fan of red wine and cigarettes, he lived his life like many of the great Irish writers of our time. He chose to learn through his own teachings and that was the way he started and ended. I wanted to have a song on the album about him as he was important to me and also a very unique character.I'll safely say that this song isn't written for anyone but my family.”
