about

"Narrow it down to what we need" is a future-looking song of optimism, reflecting the sentiments of the upcoming album and collection of songs of which it is a part. It's as much about making a promise as it is appreciating current fortunes.

Recorded and mixed by Anthony Gibney in Audioland studios in Lexlip in 2022 and 2023. “Narrow it down to what we need” features Irish musicians from Keith’s Little Black Book Band along with a six piece vocal choir. It was released on all streaming platforms on 30th June 2023, with an accompanying youtube music video.

lyrics

Narrow It Down To What We Need - Keith Burke

V1
Is this a time to say I’m sorry?
Is this the time to be with you?
And I know what I’m still holding
Or is it time to say I do?

Is this a time to see you’re blushing?
It may be time to see this through
Because I know what I’m still holding
Many miles walked in these shoes

Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need
Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need

V2
Is this a time to be your lover?
I’ve had time to think this through
If we hold on to one another
And put our faith in something new

The sun is low this April morning
Same long shadow keeps us cool
This is me now saying sorry
We’ll no longer play the fool

Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need
Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need

Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need
Narrow it down my love
Let’s Narrow it down to what we need

V3
What kind of God would let this happen?
What kind of warning didn’t we heed?
Do we know what we’re still holding?
Let’s narrow it down to what we need
