Meet London-based singer-songwriter Lorc D, originally from Donegal, Ireland—an artist crafting emotionally raw music that sits somewhere between indie-folk, alt-rock, and bedroom pop.
Lorc D’s latest release, “I’m Away,” carries a sense of driven wanderlust, grounded by acoustic guitar and a groovy beat that pulls the listener along for the ride. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to move—travel, hold your head high, and finally turn your back on the things that once kept you stuck.
The song bursts to life with rapid strumming and Lorc’s half-spoken, half-sung vocals that immediately build momentum. As the track unfolds, he shifts into a melodic delivery that deepens the emotion and hooks you completely.
On the meaning behind “I’m Away,” Lorc D shares:
“For me, the song is about acceptance—letting go of what ya can't control. But I think it's a celebration of what remains as much as it's a farewell. I hope so anyways.”
Although its six-minute, 32-second runtime might seem daunting, the track’s structure makes the time fly—a testament to Lorc D’s songwriting mastery. He builds and releases tension in a way that keeps your ears captivated by the song’s sonic rises and falls.
“I’m Away” is a comforting track—one that holds space both for the listener always on the move and for those yet to journey into the unknown, but who are definitely thinking about it.
