Irish singer/songwriter Ronan Furlong releases his latest single, “All That I Became,” a profound, heartfelt ballad that elegantly brings the “Elysium” album to a close with its emotional depth. The song is a personal introspection and a universal meditation on growing & changing, on discovering oneself.
You are treated to delicate guitar work that is a signature of Furlong’s playing. The lyrics are lush, sincere, and poetic, confronting how experience molds the essence of who we are. It’s the sound of someone peering inside themselves, not to escape from the world but to make sense of it.
A smooth warmth and texture are perfectly combined, delicately produced by the hand of Brendan Carthy at Orchard Studios. The warm, muffled drumming provides Furlong’s voice with percussive support and rhythm without overshadowing its intimacy. It’s a masterclass in balance and every note feels purposeful, every word weighted.
“All That I Became” is a synopsis of the journey. It is also an appropriate conclusion to “Elysium,” an album which has received worldwide airplay and critical acclaim for its honesty and emotional insight. And in an age when music increasingly rushes to enthrall, Furlong displays the potency of patience and craft. “All That I Became” is tender and impactful as a classic piece of songwriting, embodying the belief that sincerity will never go out of style.
