Photos: AMBLE to Release New Single LAST RITES via Warner Records
The Irish trio wrote and recorded the track with producer Philip Weinrobe in Ireland and New York.
Irish folk trio AMBLE is set to release a new single, LAST RITES, via Warner Records. The band describes the song as a meditation on holding onto one's true self amid internal and external pressures, with the recurring line 'He was a good man, give it time' anchoring its message.
''Last Rites' is about finding your true self in the chaos of life. When the internal voice in your head and the external voices around you are pulling in different directions, retaining a true version of yourself becomes increasingly difficult.
However, as these periods descends into further confusion and uncertainty - there is always an inner belief that the true self will return.
'He was a good man, give it time'.
The extended outro embodies the message of this song. It is hard to see the truth in a chaotic world, but it is there!' -- Amble

Lyrics
My words are tired
My feet are sore
Yet I keep on talking
I'm walking more and more
My eyes are closing
My ears are full
Colours never been brighter
And music never dull
If Speak you must
Let it be free
My smile is fading
Time for lies is done
My teeth will light up this room
In truth no longer fun
My hand shake is softer
Empathy I must remind
In person I'll stand eye to eye
He was a good man give it time
If Speak you must
Let it be free
But do not ask
Anymore of me
Im tired of the road
I Can't sit still at home
So many eyes on me
I've Never felt so alone
No breathing thud
In a hollow chest
Why won't you leave me be
Why won't you let me rest
If Speak you must
Let it be free
Do not ask
Anymore of me
If Speak you must
Let it be free
Do not ask
Anymore of me
Channeling the power of tried-and-true friendship and tapping into the serenity of the surrounding countryside, Irish trio Amble harness a rare magic threaded into the fabric of their novelistic folk. The group — Robbie Cunningham (lead vocals/guitar), Ross McNerney (mandolin/bouzouki), and Oisin McCaffrey (guitar/vocals) — have unassumingly gone from quitting their day jobs in rural Western Ireland to the doorstep of an international breakthrough buoyed by over 300+ million streams and sold-out shows around the world. After just one gig together, they unlocked uncanny creative interplay with each member penning songs and pouring life experience into the lyrics. Amble fueled buzz with breakouts 'Mariner Boy' and 'Lonely Island,' but life changed when the band received a call from Warner Records with an offer. Signing to the label in 2024, the band had an unimaginable past year that spawned their EP The Commons and a captivating live presence, as they canvased North America and Europe with packed houses on both sides of the Atlantic. Their relatability, intimate storytelling, and authenticity marry seamlessly with no-frills acoustic instrumentation, serene soundscapes, and heavenly natural harmonies. In May 2025, Amble released their full-length debut LP, Reverie [Warner Records], which topped the charts in their homeland and became the year's most-streamed Irish LP. This was followed up with a September four-song EP HAND ME DOWNS. Towards the end of 2025 into 2026, Amble would release a new song 'The Rarest Hour,' and perform to the largest audiences of their career and traveled further afield to perform in packed venues in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and more. This spring, the trio released LIVE IN DUBLIN II and returned to tour the world including a run of stadium dates in Ireland. At the start of June 2026, Amble made their debut at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, graced the main stage at Bonnaroo Festival and started their run of US stadium dates with Ed SHeeran and Dermot Kennedy. Amble followed their June 2026 single 'The Swell,' with another new track 'Last Rites,' released August 14, '26. Amble have also contributed to 20th Century Paddy - The Songs of Shane MacGowan, the ultimate tribute MacGowan set for release this November. Their 2nd album is on the horizon for January 2027.
