Take a deep breath and listen to this warm, soothing anthem for peace by Gloria May Baron,  Shadows Over Eden – ‘Where did all the mercy go!’

Remember BEP’s iconic ‘Where is the love?’ How it sincerely appealed to universal peace and love. How effectively did the track urge us to not forget that we’re all ‘brothers and sisters’ living on shared land and remember love while questioning violence, oppression and the sorrow that path brings?

Well, Gloria May Byron’s latest healing track is the evolved version of that message, relevant to our present. At the heart of this opus are Gloria’s tender vocals paired with thoughtful lyrics and emotion-laden pop arrangements.

The track opens with Gloria’s soft, almost whispered opening verse, sighing in reflection on how indifference and apathy seem to have taken over our kind. Speaking of kind, Gloria directs us with an uplifting angelic voice, to remind us how we’re losing what makes us human. The lyrics lament the loss of genuine human connection and how our basic human values are being degraded.

Musically, the pairing of her soothing vocals flowing on a smooth pop beat makes this track hit deep and true. Its slow, relaxed pacing complements Gloria’s poetic, piercingly honest lyricism so well.

This is music for the weary heart and soul. In a world where basic goodness, mercy and humanity seems to be fading away, casting grave shadows upon us all, this track shines as a stirring reminder to not give into the darkness, to rise above our petty differences, and to realize that we are but children of god.
