“This Way Up” is the debut EP from Barry Jay Hughes and it helped him gain national and international fanbase when he emerged onto the Irish music scene in March/April of 2015. The 4 track release is a collection of songs that individually are very different but as a package seem to work as a unit, giving the listener a sample of what was to come in later years.

Written about positive thinking. Was in relatively good humour when I wrote this!!
Title track of the EP - It's a very simple radio friendly Pop Rock song.
lyrics
HANDS MOVIN, CLOCK TICKIN, TIMES MOVES ON
CANDLE BURNIN, PHONE RINGING, MISSED YOUR CALL,
AND THERE’S 50 BLACKBIRDS ON THE STREET, DRIVER LET ME ON
GOT TO GO, GOT TO MOVE,
PAVE THE WAY, I’M YOUR MAN
I GOT LOVE, I GOT SOUL, I GOT ALL YOU WANT, LET ME SHOW YOU NOW
WONT YOU FOLLOW ME, FOLLOW ME, FOLLOW ME
CAUSE IT’S THIS WAY UP, I DON’T FEEL LIKE COMIN DOWN NOW
YEH IM RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WORLD
THIS WAY UP, I AIN’T EVER COMIN DOWN NOW
OH
ON THE ROOF TOP LOOKIN DOWN
PLAYING THIS TRICK IN MY HEAD
BEAT AFTER BEAT, IN THIS CAGE I’M IN, CAN YOU FEEL ME NOW
WONT YOU FOLLOW ME, FOLLOW ME, FOLLOW ME
CAUSE IT’S THIS WAY UP, I DON’T FEEL LIKE COMIN DOWN NOW
YEH IM RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WORLD
THIS WAY UP, I AIN’T EVER COMIN DOWN NOW
OH
EVER WONDER HOW I GOT HERE
BACK TO THE START AND WATCH THE LINES
CAUSE IT’S THIS WAY UP, I DON’T FEEL LIKE COMIN DOWN NOW
YEH IM RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WORLD
THIS WAY UP, I AIN’T EVER COMIN DOWN NOW
OH
