    “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.

about

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
