Damian first came to the attention of the Producer Sharon Browne and Music Director Phil Coulter at the tender age of 14, when a CD he recorded for Charity was passed along to them. He was invited to come along to audition for the show and was immediately cast in the role of the “teenager” or “boy wonder” in CELTIC THUNDER. Damian’s excitement and enthusiasm for Celtic Thunder is infectious, and after seeing him perform there was no way he would not be part of the show. Almost 4 years on Damian has developed and grown both in and out of Celtic Thunder, he is more than a foot taller than he was when it started. He often draws the biggest reaction from the crowd and throngs of Celtic Thunder fans have lined up for the pure-voiced Damian’s autographs and t-shirts. “The fans are crazy,” laughs Damian. “I don’t know why they’re walking around with my ugly mug on their stomach, but it’s great to have fans that really love what you do.”
Damian has been recently selected as one of the top 12 finalists out of a 40,000 Myspace Audition Search, who competed for a coveted spot on "The Glee Project". Be sure to watch each Sunday Night June 12, 2011 at 9PM EDT, for the next 12 Weeks as 1 Finalist will be cast in a seven-episode guest role in season three of hit show “Glee” on Fox.
Slow Dance
Damian McGinty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't stop
Another day spent
Trying to beat the clock
Out of breath
Out of steam
Time is a race I'm running
They come and go
Another town
Another show
Counting down the days
Til I get home
Loving you's a slow dance
I wanna make every moment last
I wanna take it slow
Take it slow, yeah
Cause this world spins so fast
Before we know it the future is the past
I wanna take it slow
Take it slow, yeah
Cause loving you's a slow slow slow slow
Slow dance
Loving you's a slow slow slow slow
Slow dance
One touch is all it takes
Time stands still
Foot on the brakes
Breathe you in
Soak you up
When I'm with you
I can't get enough
Get enough, get enough
Loving you's a slow dance
I wanna make every moment last

Ohhh place to place
Moving from one location to another
And I don't stop
Continuing without taking a break
Another day spent
Passing of time
Trying to beat the clock
Trying to complete tasks before the set deadline
Out of breath
Breathing heavily
Out of steam
Exhausted physically or mentally
Time is a race I'm running
Feeling like time is limited and constantly running out
The city lights
Bright lights of the city at night
They come and go
Appearing and disappearing as one travels
Another town
Visiting a new place
Another show
Performing in another concert
Counting down the days
Looking forward to a future event
Til I get home
Excited about returning to a place of comfort
Loving you's a slow dance
Being in a relationship with someone requires patience and taking things slowly
I wanna make every moment last
Wishing to savor every moment spent together
I wanna take it slow
Desire to take the relationship slowly and enjoy the journey
Cause this world spins so fast
Life moves quickly and it's difficult to catch up
Before we know it the future is the past
Time passes by rapidly
One touch is all it takes
Being with someone special can make everything else seem insignificant
Time stands still
Feeling like time has stopped because of someone's presence
Foot on the brakes
Stopping to enjoy the moment and appreciate what's in front of us
Breathe you in
Enjoying someone's scent or presence
Soak you up
Savoring a moment and trying to experience it fully
When I'm with you
Referring to the special person in their life
I can't get enough
Wishing to spend more time with that special someone
My heart beats
Referring to the feeling of attraction and love
Loving you's a slow slow slow slow
Reiterating the idea of taking things slowly in a relationship
Slow dance
A metaphor for taking things slowly and savoring the moment
