Irish singer-songwriter Kolumbus has announced a new single '‘I Hope You Find Happiness', coming’ off his forthcoming debut EP 'Give Them Life'. Kolumbus is a musical project representing the solo journey of Irish songwriter Mark 'Cappy' Caplice. Correspondingly, the new video for this single features his own experiences around Ireland, with imagery so beautiful it could swoon romantic travelers and adventurers to visit the Emerald Isle.
The song was produced by Gavin Glass, the music director for John Carney's new film "Sing Street", and engineered by Scott Halliday, previously a guitar tech with Prince and James Vincent Mcmorrow. Several other notable musicians make contributions here: drummer Graham Hopkins, who plays with Irish folk legend Glen Hansard, and organist Conor O'Reilly, who has recorded with U2 and has had his music performed in Carnegie Hall.
'I Hope You Find Happiness’' was written as a lament regarding the droves of Irish people that left the country to find better lives, while looking forward to happier times. "They had to leave family, friends loved ones behind to fly half way across the world. So many of my own friends and close family were among them and I saw first hand how difficult it is, both for those who leave and those who stay," explains Kolumbus. "I would never hold it against anyone for leaving. Life is too short to dwell on anything."
