about

Kevin, who was diagnosed as autistic at age 5, has faced many challenges in his journey to becoming a professional musician, this single will not only launch his hard won career in music, but its success has the opportunity to offer inspiration to other autistic artists. This symphonic ballad, with its rock undertone and wide array of vocal styles, was inspired by some of Kevin’s favourite musical theatre ensemble numbers.

Inspiration for the vocal composition of the track came to Kevin from supergroups formed by Bob Geldof, Michael Jackson and Irish Women In Harmony, as it features an eclectic mix of talented vocalists, such as Emma Langford, Ger O’Hanlon, Lisa Curran, Molly Lynch, Rebecca Houlihan, Stephen Gormley, Caroline Kay and Mark Daly.

“By embracing widely different vocal styles within our super group performance, I wanted to allude to the variety within Autistic diagnoses, as each person on the spectrum is an individual with different support needs and range of abilities.”

The track was produced at Kitten Lane Studios by Aidan O’Connor, and at MTU Cork School of Music by MA graduate, Emily O’Leary.

Proceeds from the single and its related merchandise will be donated towards AsIAm, the national charity providing a one-stop shop for the Autism community in Ireland.

“AsIAm’s mission statement emphasises education, empowerment, advocacy and community, four areas which strongly resonate with me”. - Kevin Walsh

EMBRACE THE WORLD
(Music + Lyrics by Kevin Walsh)

If there’s a place for dreams and following your heart
You gotta rise, go forth and make a start
Through the barriers you’ll meet and the resistance you’ll defeat
Trust your belief and keep drumming your own beat

Embrace the world
Embrace the world
Allow yourself to rise in love and befriend all humankind
If you wanna see the world then you gotta feel the world
It starts with you
Reach out and embrace the world

There are you’re right and those you say you’re wrong
And sometimes we feel like we’re alone
But stand up for your dreams and your tribe will soon appear
If you believe then the path will be revealed

Embrace the world
Embrace the world
Allow yourself to rise in love and befriend all humankind
If you wanna see the world then you gotta feel the world
It starts with you
Reach out and embrace the world

Go! Go! Go on and blaze a new trail
Go where no one has ever gone before
Reach! Reach! Reach for the highest sky
Higher than even you believed you’d ever dare to climb

Embrace the world
Embrace the world
Allow yourself to rise in love and befriend all humankind
If you wanna see the world then you gotta feel the world
It starts with you
Reach out and embrace the world

It starts with you
Reach out and embrace the world
