Not Normal 04:05
Not Normal Written by Lucy Gallant © 2017 Verse 1 All the world needs L.O.V Sold a souls to the money Spend our lives on the computer screens Becoming Internet junkies Oh we have lost our selves again Were not aware that were all living in a big prison Preparing for a fake heaven Chorus 1 I ain’t gonna settle for A normal life I want so much more I’m gonna travel far Cos it’s a beautiful world out there I wanna see all Cos it’s a beautiful world out there, out there Verse 2 Getting harder to move around Crazy talks about a travel ban Who is to blame who is the problem Let’s put those guns down and find a solution It’s so easy to blame the ones that look different Can’t you see it’s so beautiful all the different shades of skin We are all from something bigger than we think So let’s look deep within Chorus 2 I ain’t gonna settle for A normal life I want so much more I’m gonna travel far Cos it’s a beautiful world out there I wanna see all Cos it’s a beautiful world out there, out there Bridge Why would you ever want to be normal Can’t you see that fitting in is the sin that we’ve all been living in Don’t be ashamed of who you are Just let yourself shine like a star Verse 3 Pull myself from the darkness Got to go gotta find my flow Wanderlust on the beach Different mountains and different seas Oh will you follow me Let your hair flow free and become a modern day gypsy chorus 3 I ain’t gonna settle for A normal life I want so much more I’m gonna travel far Cos it’s a beautiful world out there I wanna see all Cos it’s a beautiful world out there, out there Why would you ever want to be normal No, help me I don’t wanna be normal No, I don’t want to be normal, wanna be normal It’s a beautiful world out there Oh, help me I don’t want to be, want to be normal It’s a beautiful world out there, it’s a beautiful world out there It’s a beautiful world out there, it’s a beautiful world

Far Away 03:44
Far away Written Lucy Gallant © 2019 In the night I see another side of me In the dark I feel sometimes empty In the garden through the trees and the light I see your face on the other side But you’re just so far away from me Sadness fills my life, hey I’m still alive. You may be right by my side, but I don’t see no light Cos you are so very, so very far away from me. You are so far away, you are so far away You are so far away, you are so far away And you are so far away, but you’re sitting Right next to me And the storm she never lies You’re the one I want in my life You’re the one that makes me feel right But we’re drifting we’re drifting apart Now I’ve got a broken heart Cos you’re so, you’re so far away from me You are so far away, you are so far away You are so far away, you are so far away And you are so far away, but you’re sitting Right next to me I’ve seen your eyes in another life I was walking the ocean till I saw your light you guided me from the dark I kissed your lips and I touched your heart we were once so close, but now you’re Just so far away from me You are so far away, you are so far away You are so far away, you are so far away And you are so far away, you are so far away From me

Old Friend 04:13
Old Friend Written by Lucy Gallant © 2019 I see myself again walking down that dark road And sadness is my only friend, as the darkness grows Feel myself being pulled into that spiders web Only God and the Devil knows which one is gonna come when I go Lost my way and the web, on the this day of my death Feel the dark pull me in, who have I even been On this last journey lost my way, lost my sight The last night of my life, not a star in the sky Oh, not a star in the sky I feel the darkness calling out my name He’s an old friend of mine Only comes when I’m feeling lonely Falling into his arms, my lover he is Enticing me, to be only his Feel the dark call my name, I can’t take no more pain As I fell to my death, with one lonely last breath why do I have to go, all alone I don’t know All these fake smiles fade and these tears they replace Lonely, loneliness my friend, darkness, darkness calls me in Now these tears have dried up because I’ve cried them so much And the rivers are fall from the emotional All those voices in my head telling me that I should be dead All alone in that church on the cross as I burned oh oh Does anybody even know Only I have the words that they say lead me to my soul oh ahhhhhhh Will you call once again, my best friend, my only friend Loneliness you’ve been so good to me Sadness you always keep me company

Goddamn Beautiful Written by Lucy Gallant © 2019 Don’t you know, theres something in your eyes And don’t you know, their like a paradise And don’t you know, every part of your DNA is beautiful Even if you were to disappear I know Your soul is so goddamn beautiful And your eyes they say it all So goddamn beautiful The two of us know This love has no attachments Cos we both love the open road My spirit is a gypsy and you’re a nomad But you’re the best lover I’ve ever had Cos your soul is so goddamn beautiful And your eyes they say it all So goddamn beautiful Cos I’ve never felt love like this before And I’ve never felt my body leave the floor There ain’t nothing I don’t adore about you Your laughter and words Sing In melody The way you touch me It flows like poetry You set a part of me free That I never knew was locked away It’s a wild side of me It’s my destiny Cos your soul is so goddamn beautiful And your eyes they say it all So goddamn beautiful, baby

about

The title ‘Darkness to Light’ alludes to the artist’s journey through a relationship breakdown, a breakup, the rekindling of romance and the softening of her broken heart. Gallant shares the sensation of identity loss in Old Friend. In Not Normal her soulful voice empathically emits what it felt like to find herself again, that liberating feeling of freedom, travel, true connection with people face to face in a social media dominated age. Whilst Gallant plays with the cessation of her wounds in Rude Loving,  raw ballads like Goddam Beautiful show her increased comfort, magically singing of how it feels to love once again, somehow deeper and even richer than before. 
The tracks on the album span a fusion of genres from pop, trip hop, reggae and rock with a bohemian flair. Gallant seamlessly marries acoustic instruments with electronic sounds and beats, while her unique vocals orchestrate and bind her many different sounds in a perfect harmonic unison. Her analogue meets digital elements sculpt an inimitable harmonic masterpiece.
