Ignition

It’s already getting late, got no more time to lose

Still, I like to spend my time listening to old jazz and blues

Think the world was meant for you? Think you’re meant for recognition?

Well, that’s what everybody thinks, so put your key in the ignition

Forthcoming 9th May 2025

Ignition explores the uncertainties of starting a new episode in life and the conflicting feelings that often arise for those left behind - between the desire to see loved ones flourish in their new futures and the yearning for them to return home.

Ignition is another exciting and original collaboration between songwriter Kate Prendergast and producer Declan Legge of Analogue Catalogue Studio B in Northern Ireland.

Ignition by Kate Prendergast

It’s already getting late

Got no more time to lose

Still, I like to spend my time

Listening to old jazz and blues

Think the world was meant for you?

Think you’re meant for recognition?

Well, that’s what everybody thinks

So put your key in the ignition

So go and drive

As far as you can go

And don’t come back

‘Til you learn from long ago

Oh, please keep on coming home

Oh, please keep coming home

Please, come back home

Now I know I’ve said some things

That I’m starting to regret
