Misty - “I wanted something beautiful and kind of mysterious at the start of the record. The image I had in my mind was a ship that slowly appears through the mist. The cello part at the end was taken from a song (Miracles) of my debut album ‘A Gypsy’s Lullaby’.”

Misty - “I wanted something beautiful and kind of mysterious at the start of the record. The image I had in my mind was a ship that slowly appears through the mist. The cello part at the end was taken from a song (Miracles) of my debut album ‘A Gypsy’s Lullaby’.”
Where Do We Go - "It was the last song written (just 1 week before the recording sessions started), but the first one to be released – as the current single. It has a lot of drive and it comes across as quite upbeat, but the topic is a more serious one. It speaks of the state of the world and it asks the question- “where do we go?”
The Whisper - “This song feels like a perfect fit, for a scene out of a road-trip movie. Kieran’s guitar sound reminds me of the dreaminess of Chris Isaac’s ‘Wicked Game’. The song is looking back at a relationship, trying to figure out what went wrong: “Tell me in a whisper what happened to our love? Is there anything left of that feeling that made us both fall?….”
Noah’s Ark - “This song went through the biggest change during the recording session. It originally was in a 6/8 tempo and very slow, but it turned into a faster 4/4 tempo. It now has a funky feel to it, mainly due to the beautiful horn arrangements by Andrew Darling.”
The Gates - “Feels a bit like a spiritual anthem and people quite often ask if it is a worship song. The song is about equality and the simple fact that at the end of the day we’re all the same: “The gates are wide, wide open for all the misfits, the outcasts and outspoken…”
My Way To You - “Is a very personal song and the most important one on the record. Written just days after my father passed away. There was a very special feel during the recording session and everyone seemed to connect with the song on a very deep level. The first time we all played it together in the studio, it turned into a one-hour jam session and it felt like the perfect song to finish the album with.”
