Holistic healing is one of the core motifs that has been central to the song writing of enigmatic Irish singer/songwriter Gerry Maguire over the decades. A critical overview of his crafted lyrics and their subtext reveal and put into clear context what Gerry is about. He humbly observes, empathises, examines, both generalises and details the many facets of the human condition. Gerry writes about personal and public conflict, love, loss, cameos from life .He never preaches but just puts it out, shares and suggests from simple truth, experience and gleaned wisdom. He humbly asks that you take what belongs to you from him and that you 'sit with it'. "When people connect with some of my songs - those songs just become mirrors, all I'm doing is holding up the mirror for them."

Some of the finest musicians in various genres have worked with and recorded Gerry’s songs & music with him over the years - from Traditional Irish Music (Arty McGlynn, Nollaig Casey) to Jazz (Ritchie Buckley, Rod McVey,Nick Scott(Van Morrison, Paul Brady) , Robyn Robbins (Bob Seeger) from Pop & MOR (Patrick Dunne, Liam Bradley, James Blennerhasset) right up to Hip Hop and R&B (Ken McHugh (David Kitt,Christy Moore), Stella (Beyonce) .In 2006 the prolific Gerry was among the Irish at the Cannes Music Festival & had a classic version of his song ‘Crazy Love’ on the Irish Music Industry CD.
