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.
You Should Know
Damian McGinty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be there
Let me heal all your scars
Tell me your secrets
I was searching
When it's always been you
I was hiding
You should know
You're the reason I let myself fall
Only you can tame my soul
Nobody else comes close
You should know
You've never looked so beautiful
Say that you'll never let go
Cause nobody else comes close
You should know
I haven't been sleeping
Spending all my nights away
It hasn't been easy
I was searching
When it's always been you
I was hiding
Running from the truth
You should know
You're the reason I let myself fall
Only you can tame my soul
Nobody else comes close
When you feel like you're done disguising
And you're tired of the compromising
And you need a hand
To guide you home
When you feel like the sky's gonna fall, yeah
And your mind's caught in the darkness
There's no demons
I'd let inside us, no
You should know
You're the reason I let myself fall
Only you can save my soul
Nobody else comes close
You should know
You're the reason I let myself fall
Only you can tame my soul
Nobody else comes close
You should know
You've never looked so beautiful
Say that you'll never let go
Cause nobody else comes close
I thought you should know
