A relatable surge of emotion
That vulnerability and humanity is something that gives Cianâs songs a relatable surge of emotion, and thatâs something that dominates âCanât Even Hate Youâ. A singer-songwriter with a gift for identifying the pains, joys and complications of love, Cian takes us into the heart of another romantic quandary: this time, wanting to hate someone after a break-up to alleviate your own pain, but having to accept that you just canât do it. That raw emotion is wrapped within the kind of song that Cian does best, with heart-string pulling emotions flowing from his powerful, soulful voice with a surfeit of engaging songcraft.
Cian says, âItâs one of those songs that just finds meaning as you write it. It starts as just an idea and something you relate to and with time you realise what it is youâre writing about and the song grows and becomes more and more about that one thing. It makes it an emotional process and also one that can be hard to share because no one will really understand it the way you do and the fear of it being judged when itâs so personal can be scary, but in the end thatâs what sharing it is about. For people to connect and love it or hate it but hopefully it helps someone!”
