Cork's Brian Deady Releases New Video
Irish singer-songwriter Brian Deady announces his new video for his powerful single ‘Get On My Knees’, released on Decca Records.
Inspired by the late Muhammad Ali, the track was written shortly after the boxer’s death in June 2016 and showcases Brian’s distinctive soulful vocals.
Brian explains: “It’s about a big, tough, strong boxer who comes toe to toe with his vulnerability when his lover leaves him and he ends up warring with his demons in the ring.”
The song’s deceptively simple refrain – “I'm gonna handcuff lightning, throw thunder in the ring, won't slack, won't turn my back, I'll get on my knees and pray” – tells a tale of power versus fragility, with a foot-stomping soul-pop sound. The track shares the same gospel influences and tribal sound world as Rag’n’Bone Man.
Born in Dublin and raised in West Cork, Brian is one of 10 children and began writing lyrics and poetry at 12. Four years later, after stints in foster care, he was living in a bed and breakfast, devouring the works of other greats such as Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison: “Music has always been my place of refuge – my home.”
Brian often concludes his live shows with a rousing rendition of Get On My Knees. He seamlessly combines ruthless, unrelenting lyrics with memorable melodies, making the track sound instantly classic.
