“WELCOME TO CORK.CORE.
RUN is my attempt at refining
what I started five years ago -
marrying my songwriting roots
with my classical guitar
training.”
Welcome to CorkCoreRun

Todd Corcoran, guitar/vocals (singer/songwriter 2011)

WELCOME TO CORK.CORE.RUN is a singer/songwriter recording, very well built if you don't mind listening to just a guitar and a vocal, catchy, songs crafted like rock tunes, rather diverse, and could be considered folky. It evokes the same sort of feeling as a '70s Nick Drake album except this recording is newer. It starts with an instrumental, continues with lighthearted tunes, gets more serious towards the middle, runs for about 40 minutes, and has a hankering to show you, very publicly, what rock, classical, country, jazz, flamenco, blues, bluegrass and folk influences sound like when packaged together as simple songs.

A Girl Named Wendy
There's a Whole Lot of Nothin' Goin' On
there's a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
when I was raised
I wanted to be praised
I'm still waiting to see the light
what's the point of all the strife?
because I feel like there's nothin' goin' on
no one but your ego says I'm wrong
can't believe you'll cry
while you leave me alone to die
but I'm a whole lot better without you now
whole lot of nothin' goin' on
a whole lot of, uh, cryin' goin' on
I wanted to be alone
but I can't find the room
I'm a whole lot better off now than I was
letting you upset me every night
whole lot of nothin' goin' on
I'm waiting for my feelings to be wrong, to be wrong
I can only take it so many times
I'm a whole lot better now
a whole lot of nothin' goin' —
I said a whole
well I whole lot of nothin'
a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
I’m Never Alone When I Think of You
I'm traveling down the road, and I feel blue
the radio's broken and my phone is too
and the road goes on and on again
I'm never alone when I think of you
friendless, hopeless, and tired, I am marooned
I try to talk to myself but I don't get through
and a minute is a day without an end
I'm never alone when I think of you

I met a girl a girl named Wendy
now I can't be by myself
soon we were we were together
hiding away by ourselves
in a word her name is Wendy
together we'll be from now on
I met a girl a girl named Wendy
when she smiles there's nothing else
then one day we were married
lighter inside is what I felt
and now it's just me and Wendy
together we'll be from now on
This has been a song a song about Wendy
Another Day
as the sun comes up
I begin to wake
it's the start of another day
when it will end
why it began
won't affect my day
it's another day
it's another day
it's another
another
another
day
Peace of Mind
some days
I need a little time
a few kind words
to ease my troubled mind
so don't take it away
please don't take it away from me
'cause we all know
that sometimes
we need a little peace of mind
so what can we do
about finding some peace of mind
what can we do
about leaving no one behind
so when you see someone
it doesn't matter who
just a smile
is all you need to do
and we'll be on our way
to a better day
when we can all have a little peace of mind
It's Gonna Be All Right
there's a feeling that I'm holding
a kind of feeling you can hold on to
a kind of feeling that can't be broken
so I need a little room
I'm gonna find a way
to let it go
and once I calm down
it's gonna be all right
if you don't believe then you won't know
what your heart can be and see
which everybody knows
the burdens that haunt you so
so when you feel a little troubled thought all alone
left by itself will walk away
you can let it go
that's all you need to know
it's gonna be all right
Walk Together One More Time
ever since you went away
life's an enduring haze
because our hearts our hearts are still one
if we could walk together one more time
it seemed like it would never end
all the mornings when we were sleeping in
and I try I try to go on
if we could walk together one more time
some how
some way
we'll find each other on the other side
dancing hearts, peaceful minds
some how
some way
I swear, I swear I would give it all away
if we could just walk together one more time
We All Need Something to Believe
from the streets of New York
to the shores of Dublin
to the fields in Luzon
it seems to me
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
from the prayers in Garzón
to the fears in Milan
to the hopes in Tehran
it seems to me
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
something to call our own
something that says we belong
something that says we're not alone
something that feels like home
something to believe
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
Don't Give Up Now
when the days are short and dying
when the pressure's too much to bare
when all joy is hidden
don't give up now
it seems like the world's against you
you feel its misery in your veins
you've been beaten down to nothing
don't give up now
what's the point of anything?
if you've forgotten why you cared
don't give up now
don't give up now
don't give up now
The Grateful Song
I've got everything I could want
more than I'll ever need
I'm not cold sick or hungry
so I'm gonna try to be grateful
yes I'm gonna try
I'd like to thank my family
all my friends
and everyone who's ever been kind to me
as for the people I've mistreated
I'd like to say
please forgive me
I'm grateful for the sunshine
for every day and everything I've ever seen
so if I ever forget this feeling
if I ever forget this song
please help me remember
and I'll be grateful again

And I'm Home
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
while I’m waiting for my struggle on its way
calm down
and I look in your way
I see you again
and I’m home
and I see you again
and I’m home
to see your face like I’d never been far away
I never needed something more
than I’d ever craved always
I saw your face
and I was home
I heard your voice
and I was home
I Can't Believe Nobody's Through
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
everybody’s seeming to
I could be wrong
everybody’s sold the book
but can’t you become any more
it’s so easy to
go go go
and so even you
everybody’s done more
I can’t believe it’s true
so many cluttered souls
how can we see straight through
when there’s nowhere left to go
there’s nothing
I can’t believe nobody’s through
I can’t believe nobody’s through
nobody’s through
It's Been A Long Time Since I've Been Anywhere
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
it’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere
it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you
holding your hand
wanting to see all what is known
everything we need to hold
and I’m gone
it’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere
it’s been a long time since I’ve known you
stumbling through
cause I’ve been waiting for you
and there’s nowhere left for me
so what do I find
that I’m on my own
it’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere
it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you
I hope it won’t take
a lifetime away
To Be Free Falling All Day
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
to be free falling all day
free falling and I’m doing okay
I’ve got my mind
and if I seem so far away
can’t you realize
free
to be free falling all day
it’s all I’ll ever be
free
free
free
free
Already Standing Here
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
if someone ever lied
the suffering is so clear to me
can’t anybody ever learn
there's one fine way
it seems I noticed the rules today
somebody lend a hand
somebody lend a hint today
will there be somebody waiting
will there be somebody waiting
I’m already standing here
I’m already standing here
I’m already standing here
Holding On
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
it’s a long day
when I’m still at home
I can’t work anymore
I know that
it seems worse than it is
but it feeds
I can’t breathe
one more time and I can’t be
it’s all I can take when
it’s all I can take
when I feel what I feel
feel what I feel
with my own way to deal
the void will be pain
the pain will complain
one more time and I can’t be
but
I’m
still
holding on
After All I Needed You
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
it’s a simple world we’re running
in the night it’s gone
I’m going to run until I’m home
I’ve seen the burn out coming
cause for another day
another day is where I’ll be
I see it coming
unpreventable
running away
leaving me all alone
there are fools alone
no matter what is said
no matter what I needed you
make sure I’m already taken
you take the night I’m tiring
and after all that I needed you
I cried
as I waited for mine
it’s never going my way soon
after all, I needed you
Why Can't It Be
it didn’t last
silent urge
words so free
must follow now
why can’t it be
I’ll wait to notice where I’ve been today
I never cry leave
feeling so tired
why can’t it be
when I’m waiting for
my comfort goes by
I saw you for a moment
now I’m tired
it seems like I’m
holding back
the limits refuse me
I’m on my way back
why can’t it be
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
A Simple Song
I’ll write a simple song
only for you
it’s just a simple song
only for you
and I hope somebody saves me
and lets me go
it’s just a simple song
nothing but a simple song
only a simple song
waiting for you
soon they’ll take you
they’re born to try
soon I’ll take mine
out of town
I don’t need no
praise in a line
standing alone without crying
climbing in circles in my head
voices inside me shine
hear the emptiness
of an ineffective sigh
the emptiness
in my heart
and the rage
in my soul
and I need
chatter for my ride
there’s a rage in my heart
I feel the circles in my head
doomed with circles crossed my eyes
doomed without love all the time
doomed without love and I ride
there’s a rage in my hands
all the moments coincide
born and left me on the run
I needed my sanity
my soul
I need to find out
why I take you
I better
before my innocence blows
I felt the rage in my hands
blind eyes
drifting feet
lying hearts through the streets
kill the rage
kill the rage
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
A Rage In My Heart
must be in the water, baby
please beware
must be in the water, baby
please beware
must be in the water, they say
please beware
must be in the water, they say
please beware
must be in the water, baby
please beware
must be in the water, they say

Must Be In The Water
Good Enough For Me
Copyright © 2004 Todd Corcoran and Corcoran Sounds
it’s unknown to feel better
it’s unknown if life is peace
and I saw the way you were
looking outside
nobody knows
nobody sees through me
I needed somewhere where I could breathe
I saw the way you see them
I heard a voice within
there’s somewhere outside
what doesn’t seem good enough
seems good enough for me
here’s a song about what’s going around
growing up with you and me so green
but I saw the way you laughed
with a moment you cried
it’s come back again
like a long strung out ache
what doesn’t seem good enough
just seems good enough for me
what doesn’t seem good enough
seems good enough for me
