He recently spoke to the RTÉ Entertainment Team and he said:

I think this record, there’s a lot of love songs. I find I would write songs about other things, albeit through the lens of a love song, or through the surface that’s wrapped up in a love song. But I don’t know, some of the songs for me are characterised as a farewell to things, or a worry or a concern of bad and terrible things to come.

He also added, “It tries to hold on to some warm centre or redemptive sort of point of, yes; there are all these terrible things that we can fear or lose and have to say farewell to, but there is still the potential of such kindness and such goodness in people, so much love in people and that’s still there.”
