Gabrielle De Rosa – “I have a message for your eyes only: this song is for you”
“I have a message for your eyes only”: this is what Gabrielle DeRosa tells in the official music video of her new single “Everything I Know”. This song is for you. It is dedicated to you, and especially to all her fans, friends and supporters around the world. It is a song about the balance of giving and receiving: when so many people love you so much you want to give them everything you know and do everything you can to be there for them. All is one, but as the singer-songwriter says: “This specific message will be different for each and everyone of you out there. My purpose is to make you feel special and essential in your own unique way”. If you want to know more about it, watch the video and read until the very end. There is a message just for you. With a folk/ folk rock sound, this acoustic track features different guitar lines and the cajon as percussion.
