Tainted continues the sound fusion of ancient traditional Celtic music with modern rock and roll. Allan's guitar-driven riffs and solos deliver a solid, riveting rock rhythm section that marries both new and old musical traditions. Interspersed with the depth and beauty of great Celtic tunes are Allan's engaging and personal songs that showcase his strengths as a singer and songwriter.

I Don't Have to Come Down

My stomach's turning inside out

It's full of butterflies

I'm in the middle of a battlefield

with a blindfold on my eyes

You pushed me off a clifftop

you were supposed to hold my hand

And I can't open my parachute

and I've forgotten how to land


But something's lifting me up

won't let me touch the ground

I've got the wind in my hair

and I can't hear a sound

from the crazy world you've left for me

I'm flying...and I don't have to come down


I've got a map and a compass

but nowhere to go

I think I'll head for the sunshine

'cause I'm barefoot in the snow

And as soon as I start walking

I'll know I'm being led

and I can rise above what's going on

and what hasn't happened yet


'Cause something's lifting me up

won't let me touch the ground

I've got the wind in my hair

and I can't hear a sound

from the crazy world you've left for me

I'm flying...and I don't have to come down
