About the song:

Someone wrote me on Twitter recently: "Glory is a great song! go ahead!".
Well it's funny they'd be saying that about Glory, because this song is about always going ahead and never giving up.
Actually I had the song in my head for years, but every time I was trying to put it down in recording, I was dissatisfied with the result and ended up discarding it.
I kept trying from time to time with no greater success until one day I had the idea of playing it differently. On open B and E strings of my guitar if you're interested. And eventually it started to sound right.
That's why in a way, this song is about going ahead and not giving up.
And it's one of my favorites too.

lyrics

Lyrics:

We’re anonymous, mass-produced,
Faceless clones with a thousand twins
And though we keep on dreaming
We can be someone
We’re sometimes just as innocent
As a drop in the sea that’d think
It is different
It could be the one that originates
The waves

Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see
Glory - I swear it is not me
Glory - I guess it must be so
There’s too much we don’t know

Wanna set your sights on a brand new life?
Wanna see the world through another's eyes?
Wanna sail across the great ocean?
Want a land of opportunity?
Well look at me now, look at me now
At the end of my rope somehow
Gotta let go down with the flow
Stop believin’ the lies on the radio

Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see
Glory - I swear it is not me
Glory - I guess it must be so
There’s too much we don’t know

Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see
Glory - I swear it is not me
Glory - I guess it must be so
There’s too much we don’t know
