1) Joseph McCre… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with the name “Foley”.
1) Joseph McCreary, known professionally as Foley, played bass guitar for Miles Davis from 1987 until 1991. Foley spent many years playing in Columbus, Ohio where he was born and raised , composing and recording his own music. Foley sometimes fulfills the role of a lead guitarist, with his famous Blue Marble "Lead bass." He tunes his instrument one octave higher than usual and uses a combination of effects pedals and his own unique phrasing to achieve a sound more closely associated with that of a lead guitar. He played a lead bass solo on Mint Condition's R&B Top 30 hit "So Fine".
Foley is featured on the Miles Davis albums Amandla, Dingo, Live Around The World, and The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux.
The Motown recording artist released an album 7 Years Ago...Directions In Smart-Alec Musicin 1993. The album featured the moderate hit "If It's Positive". The song (and it's video) features guest appearances from Speech and Aerle Taree (of Arrested Development). The video also had a good rotation in airplay. He was also seen in Arrested Development's Ease My Mind video. He has toured with the group on numerous occasions, even appearing live on the Arsenio Hall Show with them , while also holding down double-duty during Lollapolooza '93 with Fishbone.
His website has very insightful interviews with other legendary musicians & actors , though often imitated, Foley's "Inner-views" have been praised by many entertainment journalists.
Foley has been sighted on stage with Miles Davis, Lenny White, Marcus Miller, Res, Fishbone, Arrested Development, George Clinton, Macy Gray, Mint Condition, Prince, Davina, Kenny Garrett, Santana, Alice in Chains, Foreigner, Monica and Primus.
2) Foley emerged in Gravesend, Kent during the early 2000's when Richard Lock, Mark Thompson and David Collins came together with the idea of self producing a multi-styled musical album in only their bed rooms! Creating everything from scratch with no outside influences and only using local music talents to add vocals and other instruments to the mix. The Foley three have been friends since high school.
Richard J Lock has been playing music since a young age and his passion took over after finding an old guitar in his attic at the age of 10. Over the years he has become known as a very talented and versatile guitarist and has been involved with many bands and projects such as "LO" and "The Wilderness Years" to name a few. To his credit has also become known for his skills as a drummer in such bands as "The StarvinUngries" and "40 Odd Yards". Richard has also worked as a studio engineer/producer and has qualifications in Advanced Sound Production.
Mark Thompson began making electronic music in his early teens when he bought a second hand drum machine and quickly became hooked on programming beats. As his bedroom studio grew, so did his repertoire of production skills. A popular local figure, Mark enjoys collaborating with other local musical talents to create new and interesting sounds.
David Collins inspired by friend's home studios began making music in his mid teens. Over the years his own equipment grew along with his intrests in musical instruments. As well as becoming a creative producer David is now a bass guitarist in such bands as "Spank" and "Lo".
A`while`after starting work on the L.P. "Landscapes of choice", Foley enlisted the help of a few local artists and friends to bring some extra spice to their record. The first up was saxophone & violin maestroThomas Jones, a friend of Richard from a previous band. The second was french horn player Gareth Thire, another former band mate of Richard. Third, was turntablist and artist DJ Smudge, House mates with Mark and good friend of the band.
The first of the vocalists was the talented and experienced singer Emma Finch-Turner. Emma has a wide musical background and has had a top 10 hit with the act "Dream Catcher" as well as many other professional projects. Emma came highly recomended to Richard by another Producer.
The second vocalist was an unknown singer by the name of Mandi Bailey. Mandi met Richard after She replied to an ad he had put in his local music store and she can currently been seen perfoming with her local band "the 10oclock angles".
To add another vocal dimension to the Foley sound they took advantage of an aspiring young rapper called Cylio. Cylio and his fellow MC's had previously recorded with Mark and Richard, both were highly entertained by his fresh style.
By putting their musical efforts together Richard, Mark and David have amassed a huge collection of tunes which is now used in media music under the name of "Larius Productions".
3) Indie pop duo from Auckland, New Zealand, composed of Ash Wallace and Gabriel Everett.
4) Patrick Foley known professionally as FOLEY, is a British electronic music producer and DJ whose debut single "Stay" featuring vocals from Katty Heath dropped on July 8, 2022. He formerly drummed for the American/British pop punk band As It Is from 2012-2020.

Foley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn't wanna bore them with our fights
Can't take back the thing you said last night
Shouldn't have to hold this all inside
But I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it with you
Baby, I'm running outta good excuses
So, tell me something
Why can't we just love
Love like we did once
What can I do? (What can I do?)
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
With you, what can I do
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
Baby, let's not wait
All these memories can be replaced
How long before you forget my face
Maybe your new love will take my place
Tell me something
Why can't we just love
Love like we did once
What can I do? (What can I do?)
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
With you-ou, what can I do
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it, I don't
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I'm just feelin' lost on what to do
Let's go back and love like we used to
Like we used to
What can I do? (What can I do?)
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it

I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
In Foley's song "Talk About It," the lyrics describe a troubled relationship where the singer is tired of communicating about their issues with their partner. The singer pleads with their partner to step outside for fear of boring others with their fights but believes that they shouldn't have to hold their feelings inside. Despite this, the singer doesn't want to talk about their issues anymore and is running out of excuses to avoid it. They wonder aloud why they can't just love like they used to and reminisce about past memories before pleading with their partner to go back to the way things were.
The song explores the theme of communication breakdown in a relationship and reflects the struggles of many couples who struggle to express their feelings to each other. The singer is tired of the constant fighting and feels that their heartache is too much to bear. Yet, they don't want to completely give up on love and long for a way to rekindle the passion and love that they once shared with their partner.
Overall, "Talk About It" is a poignant reflection on the highs and lows of relationships, and the struggle to communicate effectively when we're hurting.

Baby, step outside
Let's take a break from the argument
Wouldn't wanna bore them with our fights
We don't want to ruin the mood for others
Can't take back the thing you said last night
Words can cause damage and cannot be unsaid
Shouldn't have to hold this all inside
It's not healthy to keep everything bottled up
But I don't wanna talk about it
I'm not ready to discuss the issue
I don't wanna talk about it with you
I'm not comfortable talking about it with you
Baby, I'm running outta good excuses
I'm running out of reasons to avoid the conversation
How much longer are we gonna do this?
When will this cycle of fighting end?
So, tell me something
Change the subject
Why can't we just love
Why can't we go back to the way things were?
Love like we did once
When we were in love and happy
What can I do? (What can I do?)
What can I do to fix this?
I'm just feelin' lost on what to do
I feel hopeless and don't know how to move forward
Let's go back and love like we used to
Let's try to rekindle our love
All these memories can be replaced
We can make new memories
How long before you forget my face
How much longer until you move on?
Maybe your new love will take my place
Maybe someone else will make you happy
I don't wanna talk about it
I'm not ready to discuss the issue
I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I'm still not ready to discuss the issue
With you, what can I do
What can I do to fix our relationship?
I don't wanna talk about it, I don't wanna talk about it, no, I don't wanna talk about it
I'm still not ready to discuss the issue
