The Corrs comeback album inspired by their late father

The Corrs have revealed that their latest album White Light was inspired by their late father Gerry, who sadly passed away last April.

The siblings, who are making a comeback with their first release since 2004, told how they were already in the studio writing new music when they lost their beloved father.

“We had written a lot of songs… and then Dad passed and it was a great comfort that we were together that much and we were able to help each other through it,” Sharon said.

“When you’re grieving and you see your sisters and your brother grieving, you don’t feel alone or you don’t feel you’re going crazy.”

“It was a total shock for all of  us, but if ever there was a time when he was comfortable enough to go it was probably then, when we were all back together because that’s what really made him happy.”

“He loved seeing us together doing what he thought we were best at,” she added.

Andrea mentions some songs from the album that their father inspired,”With Me Stay is about him, the loss of him… Also, Bring on the Night, the first single, is about loss.”

“Gerry’s Reel has this defiance in it, and that’s what we loved about it when we were writing it, it’s not melancholy.”

“It’s not mourning. It’s celebration. Daddy was a great walker – and I pretty much picture him walking to this,” she told The Irish Independent.

Earlier this year the family band paid tribute to their father at his funeral in their hometown of Dundalk, where Sharon read a poem written by their father recalling his relationship with their late mother Jean.
