Rowan Murphy shares heartfelt piano ballad ‘Getting Old’

Emerging singer-songwriter Rowan Murphy returns with ‘Getting Old’, a delicate and emotionally charged piano-led track that marks his second single to date. Led by Murphy’s rich, expressive vocals and sparse, stripped-back instrumentation, the song captures a poignant reflection on adolescence, mental health, and the quiet resilience that comes with self-discovery.

Written at seventeen, ‘Getting Old’ explores the artist’s personal experiences of being bullied, attending therapy, and navigating the complex emotions of youth. “This song captures parts of what it was like in my head at fifteen,” Murphy shares. “Writing it years later helped me acknowledge that time without always feeling bad about it.”

Evoking the tender introspection of artists like Fleetwood Mac, the track is soaked in nostalgia while offering a strikingly contemporary vulnerability. With its raw lyricism and understated power, ‘Getting Old’ is a moving step forward for Murphy, showcasing the depth of his storytelling and the honesty at the heart of his music.
