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.
Memories
Michael Patrick Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I will always respect you
Thank you Jah for everything
And I bless the very very day I met you
'Cause everything have reason
Like every time have season
Things go round in Circle Cycle
Don't know why, but they can hurt you
The sadness won't fade away
No it won't go away
It's funny how memories don't leave like people do
That's why I have to say
I'm making this point today
It's funny how memories don't leave like people do
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you before you departed
Now things are not the same
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you
I remember when we used to cooperate
We had one aim you never hesitate
And nothing wha me do you nuh underrate
You was a true friend, memories won't evaporate
Tragedy we never anticipate
It's like a dream and yet I am wide awake
Some genuine vibes we generate
And now I'm gonna show you how much I appreciate
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you before we departed
Now things are not the same
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you
We used to share the same dream, same goal
One team, or so we used to roll
No separation manipulation allegation
Because you was a very good soul
One aim, one heart, one God,
And we used to have the same thought
No limitation to inspiration, motivation
Sadness won't fade away
No it won't go away
It's funny how memories don't leave like people do
That's why I have to say
I'm making this point today
It's funny how memories don't leave like people do
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you before we departed
Now things are not the same
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you,
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you before we departed
Now things are not the same
If I could go back from where it started
And still could call your name
If I coulda told you,
I wish that I could have told you
In the song "Memories" by Michael Patrick Kelly, the lyrics express a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for someone who is no longer present. The singer acknowledges that they will never forget this person and will always hold them in high regard. They thank "Jah" (a reference to God) for everything and feel blessed for the day they met the person.
The lyrics suggest that everything happens for a reason and that time operates in cycles. There may be moments in life that bring pain and hurt, even without knowing why. The singer acknowledges that sadness does not simply fade away or go away easily. Memories have a peculiar way of staying with us, unlike people who may come and go.
The song reflects on what could have been if the singer had the chance to go back to the beginning of their relationship with this person. They express a longing to call their name and tell them things before they departed, expressing regret that things are no longer the same.
The lyrics also touch on the shared history and bond between the singer and this person. They used to cooperate and have the same goals and dreams, acting as one team. There was a strong sense of unity and genuine connection between them. The singer appreciated and respected this person's soul and their contribution to their friendship.
Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of yearning and longing for someone who has left, and a wish to have expressed certain things before it was too late. The singer regrets the absence of this person in their life and wishes they could have conveyed their feelings while they had the chance. The lyrics capture the powerful emotions tied to memories and the lasting impact they have on our lives.
