Irish singer-songwriter duo Without Willow (Karen Kelly & Simon McCafferty) are back with their third release of the year, following their debut album ‘Left Behind’ in 2024 and their last single The Way Back in May 2025.
Their new track, Love You Last, is a beautiful love song that celebrates the quiet, everyday moments that mean the most. It’s not about grand gestures, it’s just about showing up for each other through thick and thin. Recorded in the Blast Furnace Studio in Derry by Orri McBrearty, the song also features Laura McFadden on Cello.
“The song came about after Simon got engaged and showed me this stunning guitar idea he had just written. Straight away I could feel the emotion in it, and I knew I had to try and do it justice. It was a lovely writing process, one of those songs that just flowed so easily. And the best part is I get to sing it at their wedding next year, which makes it even more special” – Karen
