With an emotive combination of effortless song writing and an elegiac voice that drifts between breathy falsetto and soaring builds, there are elements reminiscent of an early Chris Martin. A shy but charismatic, ever-present performer means live shows never fail to be thoroughly engaging.
Gary has recently had a couple of songs on TV, firstly his song Sunlight is behind the latest Arla campaign all across Europe, he also has his song Make It Better featured on the new Mars Ad.
Both tracks are available on iTunes now. Gary is currently rehearsing and playing little acoustic shows around London in preparation for a major tour of the UK and Europe later this year.

Sunlight
Gary Nock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this old town I'll carry you home, carry you home
In your life, there's something I don't know
We all love, love you so
When you're lost, you can take my hand
We can find your promised land
Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
Free like summer kisses, waterfalls and wishes
Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
Now you're miles away, hey, hey
And this whole place is dragging me down, dragging me down
In your light, there's nothing I can show
You know I love, I love you so
When you're lost, you can take my hand
We can find our promised land
Free like summer kisses, waterfalls and wishes
Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
Free like summer kisses, waterfalls and wishes
Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
This heartache you're feeling, it's only love can heal it
You want it, you got it, sunlight sunlight
Free like summer kisses, waterfalls and wishes
Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
There's beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight
The lyrics to Gary Nock's song Sunlight are romantic and full of hope, with a focus on finding one's way out of a challenging situation. The opening line of the song, "Will you follow me now / From this old town I'll carry you home," sets the stage for an adventure of sorts, one that the singer is inviting their loved one to take with them. The singer acknowledges that there is something they don't know about their partner's life, but nevertheless affirms their love for them.
The chorus of the song, "Free like summer kisses, waterfalls and wishes / Beauty all around me, sunlight, sunlight," invokes feelings of freedom and joy, with the singer expressing a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world around them. The bridge of the song, "This heartache you're feeling, it's only love can heal it / You want it, you got it, sunlight sunlight," is a powerful reminder that love is the ultimate cure for heartache and pain.
