.
I wrote - Why Won't The World Stop Turning? - after my grandfather died, noticing how people were going about their day, oblivious to what I felt should be world-changing. It is a song about escapism and how life relentlessly carries on, no matter how much you feel as though you need a break.
Born in Tulla, Co. Clare, Torpey grew up surrounded by music due to his mother, Kate Purcell, singer with the Grammy-nominated band Cherish The Ladies. At 15, he picked up the guitar having listened to bands such as The Beatles, Oasis, and The Arctic Monkeys. Over time, his taste in music expanded to include folk acts like Bon Iver and Bob Dylan. These influences combine to give Torpeys music the grounded elements of Folk along with some of the more catchy, upbeat qualities of Rock and Pop.
