Gebrasy is a Lithuanian singer-songwriter. He started writing songs when he was 10, and now - at 26 years old - has 16 years of experience in songwriting. When he looks back at the songs he wrote up to the age of 16, Gebrasy would probably burn them because they were not that great. That’s a feeling we can find in a lot of our artists, to be honest… Self-confidence problem. Cause I’m sure there are a lot of gems in these old songs. Artists are always the worst judges ever about their own music. And it always makes me laugh even more when they shyly send me a masterpiece saying "it's crap, but tell me what you think" ... Anyway, it was just for the record.

When it comes to storytelling, Gebrasy likes to be inspired. He thinks about all sorts of things - from his favorite artists or movies - and translate those inspirations into lyrics. He releases music mainly in English with some songs in Lithuanian, because it's pretty difficult promoting music in English where he comes from. We have the same feeling here. It is true that often our friends or our family encourage us to sing in our native language, so that they can understand the meaning of the lyrics. But do we make music for those around us? If you want to be able to cross borders, you have to make the effort to sing in English, even if it is not an easy exercise, I can confirm it, since you are reading an article in English when it is not my native language either!

Unfortunately, the world is made up of invisible barriers that sometimes tend to prevent us from achieving our dreams. Unless we hang on and fight. And Gebrasy did well to fight, because his talent is universal. Moreover, he ended up as a finalist of the ESC in Lithuania with "Where‘d You Wanna Go?" this year. Proof that there is enormous potential in Gebrasy. You can watch the whole performance below:

Today, he presents his new single "Resolution", for which he just released a great music video just a few days ago.

And we can say that the writing theme fits perfectly with what we have just explained to you. The song is indeed about leaving everything behind, taking risks, and moving forward.

With impressive vocals, because Gebrasy is comfortable in all tones, and moving lyrics, the artist seduced us in just a few seconds thanks to a catchy melody and a very high production quality.

The music video reminds us of a fundamental principle: you can go wherever you want, if you don't fix the problems you have with yourself, you will take them everywhere.

Very creative, this Lithuanian artist is one to watch because 2021 could be his year. That's all we can wish him. On our side, we are already won over.

Added to our Main Spotify Playlist, our "Uplifting Vibes" playlist, and played daily on Indie Music Center's Radio.

Lyrics

I've said goodbye to all my friends

I don't know how this story ends

But I've packed up my things

Gotta keep on moving

Not looking back

My life is riddled with mistakes

That's why I chose to runaway

Gotta start from scratch

Build a brand new life

Not looking back

I thought I found a new solution

But everything feels out of my control

I'm questioning my resolution

Will there come a day where I feel whole?

Will there come a day when I'll have a home?

I thought I finally found my space

But someone recognised my face

So I packed up my things

Gotta keep on moving

Not looking back

I must be flawed

I must be useless

Cause I can't find a way to go away

I'm questioning my resolution

I wanted to avoid making another mistake

I'm feeling tired

This world is ruthless

Reminded of that every single step that I take

I can't go back to being used

So I'm gonna build myself a brand new way

I'm gonna build a path for me to escape

I'm gonna find a place where I can stay
