GALA - Parallel Lines

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Gala (known for her hit “Freed From Desire”) has been an independent artist since her first success. After breaking free from a record deal that left her without control over her music, Gala formed her own label in Brooklyn. The PARALLEL LINES video is a collaboration with American animator, TED speaker, and free culture activist Nina Paley. Paley is the creator of the animated musical feature film Sita Sings the Blues, which has been screened in over 200 film festivals and won over 35 international awards ( Berlin International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Independent Spirit Award, New York Critics pick) Her adventures in our broken copyright system led her to produce a series of animated shorts about intellectual freedom. ’Parallel Lines’ tells the story of a couple that drifts apart while living under the same roof. “ I released the song at this time to reach out to all those people who are experiencing similar challenges. In a way, this project came to fruition at a perfectly imperfect time.” Thank you to everyone who made it possible: Co-writer: Jesse Ruben Director: Nina Paley Production: Kyle Patrick Violin: molfizzle Mix: Andros Rodriguez master: Sterling Studios Joe La Porta Listen to “Parallel Lines“ : Booking: matriarchyrecords@ Follow Gala: Youtube channel : Instagram: ​ Twitter: ​ Facebook: ​ Soundcloud: ​ PARALLEL LINES By Gala Rizzatto and Jesse Ruben I feel the heat of your skin against mine As we lie back to back In our bed We fall asleep pretending it’s fine As we lie to each other instead Do you stay just because you’re scared do I fake a love that isn’t there? you’re always with ME but never really mine feels as if we never meet parallel lines what’s left of the sweetness that lingers between us gets silenced by too much regret we are wrapped in these sheets where our dreams were defeated we both fall asleep to forget ——— I don’t know what has kept us here is it love or is it only fear? you’re always with ME but never really mine feels as if we never meet —— Parallel lines, Parallel lines B I wish we could actually look at each other at least we’ve been trying to keep it together we laughed and we traveled , why did it unravel ? constantly fighting to make it all better we’re running out of time parallel lines You’re not staying just because you’re scared and I can’t fake a love that isn’t there Always with me I wish that you were mine why can’t we ever meet? I feel the heat of your skin against mine while our love hangs by a thread I dream of parallel lines intertwined as we fall asleep instead #gala #galamusic #galasound #ninapaley #parallellines
