About 10 years later, he first started with small performances in churches and the like until he finally released his next solo record in 2015 "Human". Aged 37 meanwhile, he decided to leave the childish sounding nick Paddy behind and has switched to his full given name. He's still called Paddy by friends, fans, family and colleagues.
In 2016 he released "Ruah" , followed by "iD" in 2017.
All of his solo albums had notable success in Germany with "Human" and "iD" reaching top ten.
Michael Patrick is married and lives in Dublin. Because of his solo career (touring in 2017/2018) he did not join the reunion of The Kelly Family in 2017. He is also a part of the German music tv show "Sing meinen Song" (Sing my Song) where several musicians cover songs of each other (and other artists) and interpret them in new ways.
Last Words
Michael Patrick Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause he was an enemy of the people
Mama, mama, mama
Kill me
My fun days are over
That will show my head to the people
It is worth showing, one world at a time
Now comes the mystery
(Oh ow, oh ow, oh ow)
Now comes the mystery
Oh Lord, my poor soul
I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it
Is it my birthday or am I dyin'?
Stay for the sign
Mama, mama, mama
Oh God, here I go
Cool it, brothers
So little done, so much to do
Pardonnez-moi, monsieur
One world at a time
Now comes the mystery
Now comes the mystery
(Oh ow, oh ow, oh ow)
Now comes the mystery
Oh Lord, my poor soul
I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it, I'm losin' it
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Certain butterfly
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow

Today you will be (oh wow, oh wow, oh wow)
In paradise
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Into your hands
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
It is finished
The lyrics of Michael Patrick Kelly's song Last Words narrate the confusion and despair that run through the mind of someone who has committed a terrible crime, killing the president, and is now facing the consequences of their action. The first verse expresses the motivation for the murder, which the perpetrator believes is justified because the president was seen as an enemy of the people. However, immediately after committing the act, the person realizes that their "fun days are over" and that they have shown their head to the people. The second verse is even more cryptic and portrays a person who is losing touch with reality, oscillating between asking for forgiveness and showing signs of delirium. The repetition of the phrase "Now comes the mystery" may suggest that the person is experiencing a feeling of disorientation and disconnection from the world.
The chorus refrains from providing a clear message, but it seems to allude to the fact that the person is facing a moment of great significance, their birthday or their death, and that they are in need of a sign or guidance. The repeated cry for "Mama" and "Oh Lord" captures the feeling of being lost and abandoned. Finally, the last verse concludes with a fragment of a biblical verse ("Into your hands"), which commonly refers to surrendering oneself to a higher power, followed by the words "It is finished," which may be interpreted as a confession or an acknowledgement of one's fate.

At the age of 16 he had an earring for a while. But he stayed simple. That's what makes him so unique and off course he's fenomenale voice since he was a kid.
