Album : First Time Round

Predict the Future by Creating the Future

Dom Gannon started his Debut Album, First Time Round, in about 2002. It all started from an idea that we could choose our own destiny. Having heard this many times before it took a long time realise it was true. The Choices we make fill our life with whatever we thought of last. If we thought we had no money, we would have no money. If we thought we never get the right job, we never get the right job. It is that simple. To change the future, we need to change how we think about the world. We also need to change how we see ourselves in it.

The next thing to remember was how to Be Grateful for what you do have. Cherish the little things each day. Appreciate a good cup of coffee and the sounds of birds. Value the ability to be warm when it’s cold. Really get back to the basics you take for granted. Be truly grateful you have them. Think about what it would be like without coffee. Consider not having a jumper to keep you warm. There are so many in this world without these things. Think about that..

The next songs were more for the sad period of losing people. the Duchess And The Crown, Wait and See and Miss You were all written about loss. The hardest songs to write are the ones that hit close to home. Yet, these are the ones that people connect with most. it is that whole “car crash scenario” where you slow down to see the blood. We have a tendency to want drama for some reason. Who knows…

First Time Round, or, the Fight was written after a fight with a loved one. The Producer and I had some cool discussions on the name. So we called it both. I think we can all relate to feeling so angry and frustrated. The first person to come along is the one who gets the brunt of it. We know they won’t hate us. Of course, letting someone elses’ words or action dictate how you feel is just plain silly. Be in control. If someone says you are an idiot, ask the best person to know. Is it true? That person is YOU! How do they know what you really are? How Could they?

Different timezones was written about the weird way we have War on one side of the world while the rest of us sit in traffic? it’s hard to understand if you think about it. We have Billions spent on killing our own species while the other side of the world complain about not enough staff in Hospitals, or how our steak is cooked. At least we have a Hospital and steak to eat. We don’t have to walk down to get the milk and worry if our legs are going to get blown off so I think we should be grateful for how lucky we are. of course, I dont like giving a third of my income to Politicians who just commit Murder and borrow it to buy themselves a house, or put 1 Million Dollars worth of fuel in a Navy ship, knowing full well it all has to be emptied when they reach the fisrst port. I can piss my own money up the wall without the help of so-called leaders.

last but not least is Sleep Knowing. being about closure, it fits to be the last song on the Album. All those old relationships that pass through your mind when you go through a change. Then you feel you have to ring that ex-partner to discuss the issues. By the end of the conversation, you find out they are fine. It is you who isn’t okay with it all. This proves the problem is inside, not external. Just like most problems are.
