Corner Spotlight: Gallant-Weight in Gold

                                                
It's been awhile since I've heard someone spill their soul on a track to the point that it rustled the echos in mind and that's exactly what Gallant's Weight in Gold
 accomplished. This selection proves to be a hauntingly, melodic confessional of unabashed vulnerability brought to the surface via poetic pleads, layered vocals and an aesthetic score that isn't bound by gravity...whew!!! 




[Verse 1]
Black dust in orbit
Cascades down like a parachute
Bricks on my shoulders
This gravity hurts when you know the truth


[Chorus]
I’m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own
Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own

[Verse 2]
We dreamt like martyrs
I never thought I was bold enough
You pushed me further
And I take the blame for the both of us

[Chorus]
I’m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own

Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own

[Bridge]
Oh, Universe, hold me up
You tried your best, is it ever enough
When it’s already dragging me down?

[Chorus]
I’m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own
Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can’t lift this on my own
