A little life less ordinary by GJART
On this track, the final cut on our second album Canorous, we went back a decade (from our usual 80s influenced sounds) to the 70s and took inspiration from some of the most successful songwriters from that era: Cynthia Weil, Barry Mann, Carol King, Tom Snow, Carol Bayer-Sager and Peter Allen to name a few. It's fully orchestrated and not synth sound in sight!

LYRICS
A little life less ordinary
A little life less ordinary
Began with good intentions
A picture book of children’s tales
Hid sadness in its pages
A little life less ordinary
Unravelled by deception
A class divide pushed to the side
That underlined the tension
A child lost at sea
Searching for company
Against the waves of war
Swept far out from the shore
You can’t come undone
It’s they who are wrong
A little life less ordinary
Left blinded by ambition
A clean fresh face so out of place
Was forced in to submission
Chorus
Another shipwrecked soul
At risk of losing it all
The play is left write
It’s time to put up a fight
You can’t come undone
It’s they who are wrong
A little life less ordinary
Is all I ever wanted
No great desire to create history
And fame I never courted
A little life, a little life
Was all I ever wanted
A little life, a little life
Was all I ever wanted

More about GJART :
GJART was created in 2015. In reality it has been over 30 years in the making. As a huge fan of electronic music since the early 80s, I always wanted to play and write music but for various reasons never had the chance.
From the summer of 2015 to May 2017 I worked on many tracks, eventually selecting the best 10 for my debut album. In June 2017 Revelation was ready and was released. It contains 10 instrumental tracks from synth pop to EDM and trance with a chillout end.
My musical interests and influences are very wide; Ella Fitzgerald to Pink Floyd wide. What they all have in common is great melody and hooks, something that I try to emulate in my music. Lyrics are also important to me so I try not to write trite ones and often put cultural references in them.
Since the summer of 2017 I have released a further 12 singles, been remixed by the Producer Tobi and completed two remixes: (Juxta’s Peaceful Tranquility and Downward Spiral Mantra’s Malasana Gallery)
This year I have collaborated extensively with the amazing musician, producer and serial collaborator Deggsy aka @nakedverse This lead to my sophomore album Canorous being released with eight synth-pop tracks and a couple of surprises.
