It’s no secret that the pandemic had its effect on mental health and Dancing Alone is an elegy to finding happiness within yourself. This song was written as a difficult moment slowly fading away. From Dancing Alone to being a sad phrase, to dancing alone being a happy vision of one, smiling, and knowing that everything’s not only going to be fine but already is, adds the artist.
Moon is a catchy, groovy, and bouncy song about the mysteries of the mind and the mysteries of the world. Simply a young person, looking at the moon, alone, wondering about life, death, birds, and all other mind-recking subjects. These questions are in essence the reason thinkers think. But at the end of this journey, no answer is necessary to just sit on your moon, observe and be thankful to be a part of this great mystery.
Virginia is a happy song, filled to the brim with nostalgia. It reminds me of those long car rides when I was very young, without a bother, without a responsibility, being driven from one country to another, simply to be as a family, as friends. In my mind, that feeling of happiness might never come back, but the “good old days” are always the ones we’re living right now. So it’s a reminder of what was lost, with the power to teach about the present moment, comments the author.
Won’t You Say is about watching someone slowly slip away from you. Powerless, you stand there, your heart filled with love, as theirs is slowly leaking. It’s probably one of the most intense experiences one can live, to witness something happen so slowly, without anything to do to fix it. The only thing you can do is to let it happen, and breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, concludes Nolton Lake.
The audience will follow Nolton Lake in a sort of trance, with acoustic guitar, Indian sitar, and a soft and confident voice, singing about universal love, the joy of discovery, and peace. He speaks truths and is open to every human being whatever their origins, their beliefs, or their preferences, "we are one" listening to this show. The storyline makes us travel from one country to another, from one vibe to another, thanks to the different open tunings on his guitar and to the Indian sitar which defines his unique sound.
