They record their first album titled Family Life, that it circulates the summertime 2005 from Vacant Records. The album is characterized by its’ low profile, acoustic sound and the voice of Evira. It takes dithyrambic reviews from the printed and electronic press and the group intensifies their live appearances in many Greek cities.

They started to work their new songs on summertime 2006 and two years after the release of their acclaimed debut “Family Life”, Abbie Gale are back with their second album, symbolically titled “2”. The music style of the band changes perceptibly, the sound becomes more electric and the rhythm most intense, without losing the melody that characterizes them. Guided by the charming, wide-ranging voice of Evira, the band appear more mature than ever, as they present their compositions in a solid and determined fashion. The album’s excellent production values, combined with Abbie Gale’s confident playing, make “2” an exciting listening proposition.

Starting with the introspective mood of the opening track “Life After Life”, Abbie Gale guide us through a bright playful conversation in “Lovesong” (guest featuring Raining Pleasure’s frontman Vassilikos), sparks of lyricism such as “Clown” and “Air” and an agonizing spoken-word manifesto in “Danko”. The band’s dedication to their creative vision, along with their refined sense of songwriting and their honest inspiration make for an aesthetically flawless result.
Abbie Gale’s “2” is also the debut release of the new and upcoming indie label Inner Ear.

Abbie Gale are:

Evira: Voice
Salvatore: Guitar, bass VI
Pedal: Guitar, keyboards
Achilles: drums, loops
Nick: bass

Harmonica
Abbie Gale Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll keep dancing with you
And you'll keep dancing with me
And the sky will be blue
And the rain will still sing

Standing there at the door
A friendly face of a ghost
Standing there at the door

Nothing seems on the floor

I’ll drink with you as the light
Fades and comes new
And the dark will be there
And we'll also be there

Standing there at the door

The trembling hands of a fragrance
Standing there on the floor frail eyes like to play

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Abbie Gale's song "Harmonica" are haunting and melancholic. At first, it appears that the song is about a dance, with two people continuing to dance together despite the rain and the changing light. However, as the lyrics progress, they take on a more eerie tone. The singer describes a "friendly face of a ghost" standing at the door and "trembling hands of a fragrance" on the floor. These descriptions give the sense that something is not quite right, that the people in the song are not quite alive. The imagery is vivid and unsettling, leaving the listener with a sense of unease.

Line by Line Meaning

I'll keep dancing with you
I will continue to dance with you

And you'll keep dancing with me
You will continue to dance with me

And the sky will be blue
The sky will still be blue

And the rain will still sing
The rain will still make its beautiful noise

Standing there at the door
Someone is standing at the door

A friendly face of a ghost
The person at the door is friendly, but somewhat ghostly or elusive

Nothing seems on the floor
There doesn't seem to be anything on the floor

I’ll drink with you as the light
I'll drink with you as the light changes

Fades and comes new
As the light fades and then comes back again

And the dark will be there
The dark will still exist

And we'll also be there
We will still be there
