Gerry Norman - Everything's A Lie
Monday 3rd July, 2017
They say: "The day I wrote this I woke up hating the world and everyone in it, including myself, but especially our political ‘leaders’. The world we live in is a messed up place!
I was thinking the only good thing I have in my life is my wife. It’s a song about death - “home is where I wanna grow old. It’s where I wanna go peacefully".
I’ve cheered up since."
We say: “Everything’s a Lie sees the much welcome return of Gerry Norman who, in the words of Gary Lightbody, is ‘the best front man from NI, maybe ever’.
Full of pensive melancholy, Gerry brings the sadness of the song’s words to life, in a way that will not fail to move you.”
Gerry Norman is the Dublin-born Belfast-based frontman of A Plastic Rose, now going solo and working on a debut album. Catch him performing live at Porstewart's Midsummer Sessions Festival, this Saturday, 8th July.
