I know you will probably never see this but for anyone that may do; Gerry is from Glasgow in Scotland. Gerry didn't sign with a label for many years because they didn't want him to sing in his Scottish accent. Many Scots are told to mellow their accent in the main stream, Paolo Nutini also talks about this too. Cinnamon is legend in Glasgow for staying true to himself and our wee population of Scotland. I think you would really enjoy his TRSNMT performances too!
True Glaswegian accents are difficult to understand (even for other Scots lol) but I grew up literally 15 minutes from Glasgow (and now live in the East End) so it’s easy for me. What he’s saying: “Are yous up for wan mare?” (Are you all up for one more?) “I dinnae know wit tae say am a wee bit f*kin emotional right now av got nae patter” (I don’t know what to say I’m a little f*king emotional right now and I’ve got nothing to say) “This wan is fir Hampden” (This one’s for Hampden) “Ye feel it?” (Do you feel that?) “Ir ye with me glesga?” (Are you all with me Glasgow?) “Gee is it!” (Give me it!)
I love Gerry Cinnamon! I’ve been listening to him for about 4 years ever since I heard one of his songs on Louis’ Spotify playlist and this man has one of the best discography’s! It’s just banger after banger! Hope you listen to him more
ah yay! He is SO underrated. I recommend his song 'Belter' as well. Here are the lyrics below for this song because they are SO powerful, but hard to pick up here in this live performance!!!! Lol yea he has a VERY strong Glaswegian accent (Scottish) so can be hard to understand dw - I'm from the UK myself, this accent is hard to understand at times. And yup it's pronounced like 'Jerry' :) 'Canter' lyrics: This is the beginning of the rest of your life You better start movin' like you're running out of time The realization coming over your mind That it should be a canter If you could just find the answer You know it could be a canter If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker More than half ae' the time This is the beginning of the rest of your life You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time The roof is on fire and it's raining outside But it should be a canter If you could just find the answer You know it could be a canter If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker More than half ae' the time Because the hardest part of the game Isn't even playing the game It's caring enough to care about the things that you're daein' Oh, it's a wee crying shame Here comes the rain This is the beginning of the rest of your life You better start graftin' 'cause you're running out of time The roof is on fire and it's raining outside But it should be a canter If you could just find the answer You know it could be a canter If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker More than half ae' the time They tell you it's no easy They tell you that it's hard They say it's impossible to mend a broken heart The lead role in a tragedy pretending that it's art And it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start I could write a stanza and put you in a song Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong You'll never be a king when you're acting like a pawn Because the hardest of the game Isn't even playing the game It's caring enough to care about playin' the game Oh, it's a wee crying shame Here comes the rain
