Song of Co-Aklan is the sixth and final solo album by the Irish singer / songwriter Cathal Coughlan. It was recorded in London just before the COVID-19 pandemic and released in 2021. Coughlan started writing the album in 2016, and the song 'The Lobster's Dream, had originally had been written for a W.B. Yeats commemoration show at the National Concert Hall, Dublin in 2015. In a detailed, open and comprehensive interview with John Robb, Coughlan discusses how he writes songs, saying that that when songwriting he is led by the music, and the words, except maybe a title, come later.
