Sally wake up we don't have to pretend anymore. Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to some place the weather will always be warm. Sally wake up, we don't have to pretend anymore. We can walk on red carpet, dance to our favorite songs, and we can stay all night long. What a beautiful girl and I know in this world that the good one's are so hard to find. The matradee calls me lucky as he pours our wine. We'll watch the old man as he walks to the big white piano and sits down and plays. We'll wake a restaurant with fancy napkins and plates. We can walk on water, and dance in the light of the moon. We'll watch the sunset and make love in the old life, and when the setting is done and we've lost the sun we will nap on a blanket of sand. And, we're right by the ocean so you can go dipping any old time that you wish. Well you like the water so much that you could be a fish. We can walk on main street, dance in these honky tonk bars. And there's no need to worry cause no one will ask us where it is that we came from. Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to some place the weather will always be warm.Īnd we can go outside and bury our faces in the sun.

Roberton also introduced Gildor to the legendary photographer and director Anton Corbijn (U2, Nick Cave, R.E.M.), who shot the as yet unveiled album cover as well as Gildor’s press shots. Sessions with Isabel Gracefield were characterised by her encouraging him to experiment to discover fresh tones, while guests on the album included Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, The Pretenders) and BJ Cole (whose credits stretch from Humble Pie’s self-titled debut to Liam Gallagher’s most recent album).

Roberton’s storied journey has seen him produce the first three Steeleye Span albums, found the producer management company Worlds End (home to Stephen Hague, Jack Endino, Peter Katis and many more), and launch the Beverly Martel label. The turning point came when the British music industry veteran Sandy Roberton chanced upon his song ‘Medisun’online. Initially lacking confidence in his voice, he didn’t start singing until he was 21 but is now making up for lost time. In early adulthood, Gildor spent three years living on a farm in France and that easygoing solitude is infused in the bedroom folk that he now makes. ‘What’s The Deal Again?’ sees him stepping into Americana / indie-folk territory with a gospel undercurrent, while his brings a brighter hue to John and Beverley Martyn’s tranquil ‘Parcels’. Gildor also today shares two further songs from those sessions. ‘Thinking Back’ was produced by Isabel Gracefield (Adele, Radiohead, Sam Smith) and was recorded at RAK Studios in London.

The Dutch artist today introduces himself to UK audiences by sharing his single ‘Thinking Back’ along with its official video. Drawing on influences such as JJ Cale, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Nick Drake, Gildor proves that breezy melodies, reflective lyricism and a warm, organic live sound are qualities that still remain equally as captivating today.
