… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three bands/performers who go by the name Callaghan.
1. Callaghan http://www.callaghansongs.com is a British acoustic/pop singer, originally from Lincolnshire and now performing in London and Nashville.
Born in Boston, Lincolnshire to a musical family, Callaghan was classically trained on flute from age 6, then gravitated toward singing and playing piano. By 14 she was writing songs, and started trekking to London to record with various producers. At 18 Callaghan relocated to London permanently to live with her sister (whose flat was so tiny, the singer slept under the kitchen table), while recording a number of independent EPs and playing all over the city, at spots like the Bedford, Regal Room, Royal National Theatre, and 100 Club. A long-time Mullins fan, Callaghan contacted him in 2009 through MySpace while seeking a producer, and he agreed to a rare collaboration. An initial recording trip to Atlanta yielded three songs, prompting her life-changing relocation there in 2010 to finish the full-length.
2. Callaghan http://www.myspace.com/callaghanrock is a Spanish Rock group based in Madrid.
3. Callaghan is a punk band from Chicago, IL. Their first (self-titled) album was released on (now-defunct) Seven Dead Arson. There is an EP, Fired a Blank, available from Red Line distribution.

Candlelight
Callaghan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like floating in the sky
Where the air is sweet
And my body feels so light
And through the dark your eyes light up my face
And all the walls come tumbling down
And I can feel you
I can feel you, as you breathe
CHORUS:
If we only have tonight, then baby let's make it right
Don't wanna go through the night
If I have to let you out of sight
Just wanna be lying here
Wrapped up in candlelight
VERSE 2:
I see you and I feel you moving closer
I'm letting go as I lose control
And I want you oh I need you
Like nothing in this world matters now
And I believe you
When say you've never been this swept away
I can feel you through my veins
CHORUS:
If we only have tonight
Then baby let's make it right
Don't wanna go through the night
Anywhere that you are out of sight
Just wanna be lying here
Wrapped up in candlelight
MID 8:
You say tonight can't last forever
But as long as stars are in the sky
You dont need to doubt the way i feel
Cos the love we made will stay with me forever
CHORUS:
If we only have tonight
Then baby let's make it right
Don't wanna go through the night
Anywhere that you are out of sight
Just wanna be lying here
Wrapped up in candlelight
The song "Candlelight" by Callaghan appears to be a deeply intimate love song about a couple who are relishing in the moment of being together. The song begins with the image of floating in the sky, where the air is sweet and light, and where their bodies are weightless. The singer's lover's eyes light up her face, and she feels as if all the walls between them are tumbling down. As they touch, she feels them wash over her, and she can feel his breath.
In the second verse, the singer describes feeling her lover move closer to her and losing control, and she describes how she wants and needs him more than anything. She feels as if nothing else in the world matters in this moment, and the love they share is a powerful force that she can feel through her veins. In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that this moment cannot last forever, but she feels reassured that the love they have shared will stay with her forever.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of love, intimacy, and connection. It communicates the idea of being fully present in the moment and savoring every sensation, while also acknowledging the fleeting nature of life.
