Northern Irish troubadour Gareth Dunlop delivers another gut-punch to the heart with his new single “Goodbye All Over Again” a soul-bearing track.

Dunlop has long been a master of mood — a songwriter whose hushed vocals and cinematic production conjure late-night drives and the unspoken weight of memory. On “Goodbye All Over Again,” he reaches deeper still. Written nearly seven years ago and produced by Dunlop himself, the track is a slow-burning elegy to grief and the painful beauty of remembrance. A soft piano motif unfolds into aching strings and swelling instrumentation, all anchored by his unmistakably weathered voice, full of restraint and rawness in equal measure.

I wrote this song almost 7 years ago. It’s about loss, grief, and how difficult it can be looking back. It blows my mind that it’s finally found a home in a major network TV show in America.

That moment of cinematic synchronicity is well-earned his music has graced the screens of This Is Us, Lucifer, Nashville, and Safe Haven, a testament to the universal pull of his songwriting.

“Goodbye All Over Again” follows a landmark year for Dunlop, who was shortlisted for Album of the Year at the Northern Ireland Music Prize for 2024’s Welcome To The House Of I Don’t Know, a richly textured, emotionally honest collection cemented his place among Northern Ireland’s most vital voices.

Live, Dunlop is an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve, and fans will soon get the chance to see him up close as he joins fellow Belfast artist Duke Special on a UK tour this spring. Dates include Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle — cities that are no strangers to his intimate yet commanding performances. It’s a rare opportunity to witness one of Ireland’s most quietly compelling songwriters in his element.
