Thea Gilmore says of her new titular album . . . . . .

Writing the new songs . . . . . .The Bright Service (New Single out now)

WATCH THE NEW VIDEO!

My new album has been out for nearly a week.!

It’s been shown some real love by you guys. Thanks so much for reaching out and being kind, it means a lot!

You can’t please everyone though and I told you it’d be Marmite, so as expected, it’s had a little hate too. But I see that as a real achievement. 

I'm 20 records deep! Who wants to keep making the same album over and over again. If I’m not upsetting some of you, am I really even trying to make good art?

So to the haters. Thank you. You gave it a go, you didn’t like it, you had a moan. No one died (I hope!)

If you haven’t heard it yet.. please do check it out. Just follow this link https://orcd.co/theagilmore-thea-gilmore and go to wherever you buy or stream music. 

Below is the good, the bad and the ugly. Because I always like to keep it real kids!

Here is a video to The Bright Service. I hope you enjoy it. It’s cheaper than therapy 👀

THE BRIGHT SERVICE

I hope you rest

Tonight

I’ll sing it right

I’ll sing

The bright service

Lend me your heart

A while 

I’ll start

To sing you the bright service

One of the hardest things I think I’ve learned is

How much easier it is to see the shadows than the light

Makes for a better song too

Who wants to hear if you’re looking up Thea

It’s the darkness that makes you relatable to

That makes you, you.

And I get that

I do

But here’s the thing

It’s been a tough few years

I know you know

We’ve all just muddled through

But I’ve been paying more attention

To what I pay attention to

And there’s a short in the circuit somewhere

And it’s deep at the root

At the centre of the algorithm

And the algorithm’s coming for you

Make no mistake.

It takes a lot more energy these days not to hate doesn’t it?

But here’s my light

Brace yourself

This won’t take long

I got the choice

And I think I was doing it wrong

The choice isn’t which side are you on

At the risk of sounding dumb

I think its..

Yeah..

It’s love.

Don’t get me wrong

I see the cracks

I’m still the belligerent

Malcontent

Original insomniac

And when I eventually sleep

My heart still takes me back

Born like a tsunami

A one woman army

Took a pharmacy to calm me

I am intimately familiar with the wringer

And when all else was lost

I still had the middle finger

But now

I’ve learned the curve

Learned to lean in

Found some temporary meaning

And when I wake up?

I wake up dreaming

I wake up dreaming

I wake up dreaming

Do you?

Just hold it tight

Keep it in sight

Tonight I’ll sing

The bright service

It’s time to rise

Just close your eyes

Tonight

I’ll sing

The bright service

Peace to you Thea . . . . take the greatest of care . . . out there . . .and in here too!
