#Talking to myself lyrics gallant how to

So I really do believe in the power of a full album. Many people are only releasing singles but I had an album brewing inside me for a long time that needed to be born and all these songs belong together. Yes, the music world has changed a lot and everything is fast and snappy these days. Do you still believe in the power of a full album and what it stands for? I t’s a singles market in the music world now. There are so many more songs with a plethora of emotions just like life itself. Gypsy is about my nomadic spirit and Goddam Beautiful is about me believing in love again.

#Talking to myself lyrics gallant how to

In ‘Jamaica’, I sing about my travels to Jamaica and a special man I met there who taught me how to dance and let go. The first song that is upbeat and liberating song called ‘Not Normal’, the next few songs are more about heartbreak, lost love, loneliness, dark moments and the shadow side of life, then the album starts building up into a more positive vibe with tracks like ‘So Beautiful’ talking about leaving the hustle and bustle of the city 9 to 5 lifestyle and taking off in my car on a road trip to Byron Bay and beyond and how life can be so simple and so beautiful when you free yourself. As the name of it is ‘Darkness to Light’ I wanted the album order to reflect that. This album is like my personal diary I have vulnerably released out into the world. Given its time length, what emotions are you hoping the listener will go through between the 14 tracks? I just had to be brutal with the choice and ask other people’s opinions of what they liked and finally, with much thought given, I came up with these 14 songs and this tracklist order.

It was so difficult choosing the ones that perfectly fit this album because I had a soft spot for all of them. I actually recorded about 26 songs and had to choose 14 songs out of them. Yes, it was a really difficult process to choose the order of the tracks. Was it a tough process piecing all the songs together in its track listing?
