Meryl Streek spoke about the upcoming album in a general press statement on his official website:

"It was only when I finished recording the new album I realised I had made a record that revolved around people and events around my hometown of Dublin. Now, I admit it’s not always a pretty picture I’m painting, and it probably never will be, but these are cases that desperately need awareness.”

The singer continued:

"This is a collection of stories about Betrayal, Murder, Injustice, and Corruption. It’s not just happening in Ireland, it’s happening around the world and we’re supposed to just take it lying down?"

The tracklist for Songs For The Deceased is given below:

• Welcome
• Fine Jail
