The pull-no-punches Belfast rappers’ latest single features the Fontaines D.C. singer in an upbeat, sharp, articulate strongly bassy number about finding that little spark of joy in life’s monotony, and in the day-to-day things with mixed in Gaelic lyrics. “In between the moments of that repetitive lift of the pint, or spark of a cigarette, there is an opportunity for bliss. underneath that constant noise, there is a silence that can breathe new life and inspiration breaking through the mundane.” The video was filmed in Madden’s Bar in Belfast, where Chatten first met the band, who comprise the trio of stage names Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí. Out on Heavenly Recordings.

Underneath all the thundering there's magic
and if there's a better way to live, I've gotta have it.
Because I think all but when I drink I'm OK,
it gets further away everytime I try to grab it.
Underneath all the chattering theres heaven,
I gotta peak one day made me feel like I was 7,
I know it exists but I can't stop getting pissed,
one more thing I'll be adding to the list.
Faoi dheireadh tá deireadh tagtha le mo rut,
mar bhí lá maith agamsa inniu buíochas le foc,
so I stroll I dtreo an pholl sa bhalla, 4 digit code,
what do you know it’s Mo Chara,
and I'm gonna be spending my dole tonight,
two pints at a time strolling about like Dolemite,
but home for a shite ar dtús, thit sé amach one push,
Mar nach raibh bac ar bith ag bailiú strap inniu,
seo Móglaí Bap (what's happening)
and then we both jump down and do a
class handstand like a man's man can,
Fág slán leis an dúshlán a bhí againn an mhí seo mar go dtí seo,
I'm on the upside of the sea-saw.

Go fóill ag mothú cosúil le cac
Ach ní ligim orm féin cause an ndéanann sé stop?
Obviously not, what? Is mise moglai bap
Cuirim mo raybans orm sula bhfágaim an teach
Nó ba chuma liom, cause tá an t-am ag dul anonn
Is tá an saol seo I bhfad róghairid bheith ag cur amú an oiread ama ann
Go síoraí i do cheann ag iarraidh éalú achan soicind
Irish exit out the back without text
Mar caithfidh tú tú féin a chur chun tosaigh
I bhfad rófhurast bheith chomh crua ort féin i gcónaí
Mar ní haon áit bheith i’do chónaí,
déan cibé rud dtig leat a stócaigh
Is faigh fíor-bhlas sula n-imíonn an beocht di

Finally there's an end to my rut,
because I had a good day today, thank fuck,
so I stroll towards the hole in the wall,
4 digit code, what do you know it’s Mo Chara,
and I'm gonna be spending my dole tonight,
two pints at a time strolling about like
Dolemite, but home for a shite first, it fell out with one push,
because there was no complications collecting tick today, so
Móglaí Bap? (what's happening)
and then we both jump down and do a class handstand like a man's man can,
say goodbye to the challenges we have had this month
because so far I'm on the upside of the sea-saw.
Underneath all the thundering there's magic

Still feeling like shite
But I don’t let on cause does it stop?
Obviously not, what? coz I’m moglai bap
I stick my raybans on before I leave the gaff
I didn’t care, cause the time is going on
And this life is far too short to be wasting so much time on it
Always in ur head tryna get out every second
Irish exit out the back without text
Cause you have to big yourself up
Way to easy to be hard on yourself always
Cause it’s no place to live do the best you can lad
Get a real taste before the life leaves her.
