SINGING OUR WAY HOME Single
Singing Our Way Home is a rich, collaborative piece born out of deep conversations between Àine and Leah, who share a mutual passion for indigenous and land-back movements. Drawing from their shared experiences, the song reflects the themes of disconnection, healing, and the search for home—a theme that resonates strongly with the Irish diaspora and others who feel detached from their ancestral roots.
The single highlights the intersection of both artists' experiences and their reconnection to their roots. Leah's own exploration of her Irish heritage on stolen lands inspired the creative process, with both artists working together on a workshop in Naarm (Melbourne) to connect the Irish diaspora with their cultural identity. Through art, music, and deep reflection, the two have created a healing balm for those feeling disconnection.

Àine Tyrrell comments: "There are 80 million members of the Irish diaspora around the world, and having lived overseas, I’ve heard countless stories of loss, disconnection, and trauma. Many of us are in search of home, and this song is for all of us reaching back to find that sense of belonging."
Leah Manaema Avene adds: "I’ve long admired Áine’s work, and collaborating on this song felt like the perfect way to express the need for healing in our communities. Musicians, poets, and artists are essential in restoring our cultural identity and understanding our place in this world."
