JOE’s Song Of The Day #612: St. Bishop – ‘Good Intentions’

St. Bishop is from the stony grey soil of Monaghan.

Hailing from the northern county of Monaghan, St. Bishop is a 23-year-old electro-pop artist. This is his brand new single and it's taken from his forthcoming debut EP. Shining a light on his own personal experiences with social anxiety and growing up gay in rural Ireland, 'Good Intentions' sees St. Bishop take an honest and heartfelt leap toward regaining self-esteem. "I wrote Good Intentions about two years ago, this song takes on two issues that have controlled and shaped most of my formative years. I came out as gay when I was 20. After coming out I thought that everything would fall into place and suddenly be okay for me, but I soon realised that just because I wasn’t holding on to that secret anymore didn’t mean that the effects of it went away. Self-doubt began to creep into my life on a more regular basis and everything I did, was a constant comparison to what those around me were doing. Writing this song was a crucial moment for me, it acts as a reminder of my own self-worth and rebuilt my self-esteem" St. Bishop plays Dublin Pride at Whelans tomorrow night alongside Attention Bebe.
