Fireproof (Feat. BetaPSI) by GJART

Here's a short history of how Fireproof came to be. In July 2017, BetaPSI contacted us as she had been listening to our album Revelation and really liked it. She asked if we’d like to collaborate. The thought of collaborating had not crossed our minds but, having listened to her music, it immediately felt like it was meant to be. We sent her a demo of Fireproof and there followed weeks of frenetic, virtual (we are in different countries), activity with updates flowing back and forth daily. BetaPSI added in her signature bass and guitar and laid down the vocals. It then became clear that the chorus no longer fitted the feel of the song, so we rewrote it and she added an extra verse.

Then she dropped the bombshell “so when are you going to do your vocals”. Up to that point all GJART’s tracks had been instrumentals and there was never an intention to sing. “But you must sing on it, it’s your song” she told us. So, with this push, vocals were recorded and she did a wonderful mixing job melting our two voices together.

The positive reception Fireproof received - we got radio play on several FM radio stations and a number of online radio stations, gave us the confidence to record more GJART tracks with vocals. It also propelled BetaPSI to being a much in demand collaborator. She since has done some wonderful tracks with Thommo, IndusRush, Vizualyze, Replicant Theory to name a few.

LYRICS
Fireproof

Strange behaviour by friends
Chasing silence just don't speak
Confused feelings love and hate
Too complicated best avoid

Keep a distance the only way
A single gaze might cut your soul
Shared memories can't help
If you don't fight to keep them alive

Chasing darkness in to light
Wasting time before a fight
Prepare yourself for the truth
You'd better be (Chasing darkness in to light) fireproof
You'd better be (Wasting time before a fight) fireproof
You'd better be (Prepare yourself for the truth) fireproof
You'd better be (You'd better be fireproof) fireproof
You'd better be
(Fireproof)
You'd better be
Fireproof

Misspent energy staying friends
When things got tough they deserted
Leaving darkness doors shut tight
With or without you life goes on and on and on

Strong emotions building walls
Hard to overcome and get through
Don't get frightened of words
There's no escaping the need to talk

Chasing darkness in to light
Wasting time before a fight
Prepare yourself for the truth
You'd better be fireproof
You'd better be
You'd better be
You'd better
Chasing darkness in to light
Wasting time before a fight
Prepare yourself for the truth
You'd better be fireproof
Fireproof
Chasing darkness in to light
Wasting time before a fight
Prepare yourself for the truth
You'd better be fireproof
Fireproof
Fireproof

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.
