Darren Kiely continues to captivate listeners with his raw, heartfelt songwriting on his latest releases, “Old & Grey” and “Mulcair Road,” now available via Free Flight Records. Known for his deeply personal lyrics and evocative melodies, Kiely’s newest tracks explore themes of nostalgia, love, and the inevitable changes life brings.
With an upbeat tempo and warm guitar tones, “Mulcair Road” tells the story of revisiting a childhood place that no longer feels the same. Written with Ross Ellis, Joe Fox, and Geoff Warburton, the song perfectly captures the bittersweet emotions of returning to the past. “It describes the expectation of familiarity and safety but the realization that time has passed and what you left isn’t there anymore,” Kiely shares.
Meanwhile, “Old & Grey” takes on a more reflective tone, with a haunting whistle motif and deeply personal lyrics that examine the loss of a loved one. Co-written with Joe Fox and Geoff Warburton, the song explores how grief can reshape identity. “It expresses how we can lose our identity without those we love the most,” Kiely explains. 
Currently on his Never Been Here Before World Tour, Kiely is bringing these songs to life on stage, connecting with audiences worldwide. With “Old & Grey” and “Mulcair Road,” he continues to establish himself as a compelling voice in modern folk and indie music.
Both songs are out now on all major streaming platforms.
