🎙GRETA VAN FLEET The Battle of Garden’s Gate + Brief biography

United States | 2021
Official Website
  • These guys from a small town in Michigan with a population of 4000 inhabitants have been touring around the world for 2 years. This radical change in their life has brought new influences on their music, which are apparent in the progressive sound of their brand-new album, The Battle of Garden’s Gate.
  • As the band itself has stated, the album has biblical references ✝️, to ancient civilizations and parallel universes. You can tell Great Van Fleet is not moved by love themes but philosophical and challenging matters. They commented:

This album is more dark, cinematic, and complicated than our prior album

  • Among the many surprises on the new album, we find the 2nd part of a song from their first album, “Age of Man”. We will find the evolution from man to machine in “Age of Machine”.

  • The Battle of Garden’s Gate has many gems, but we must highlight ‘Broken Bell and the song with which they close the album, ‘The Weight of Dreams‘. Almost 9 minutes that serve as a cliffhanger of the future Greta Van Fleet 🌌.
  • Singer, Josh Kiszka, said about the album:

We wanted to do something on a bigger scale. With the first album, we had the preface and the thesis. This is more of the body of the work.

  • You know that every band needs its anthem, a song that will rock everyone, whether they are fans of the band or not. We believe that ‘Heat Above’ will be Greta Van Fleet’s flagship. They wrote it 5 years ago, but it didn’t fit the band’s sound at the time. For the new album they rewrote the music making it more ethereal. The result is a 21st century rock anthem.

LYRICS GRETA VAN FLEET | HEAT ABOVE | ENGLISH

Sorrows of the Earth
May our tears of rain wash down to bathe you
This is what life is worth
When the fires still burn and rage all around

Can you hear that dreadful sound?
Fire still burning on the ground

Follow the fearsome sound
As they march to battle, hear the drums pound
We do not fight for war
But to save the lives of those who do so

Can you hear that dreadful sound?
Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love?
Rising with the heat above

Life’s the story of
Ascending to the stars as one

Marching across the land
Is a peaceful army joining the band
Walking hand in hand
To an anthem loudly sung where they stand

Can you hear that dreadful sound?
Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love?
Rising with the heat above

Life’s the story of
Ascending to the stars as one

LYRICS GRETA VAN FLEET | HEAT ABOVE | SPANISH

Penas de la Tierra
Que nuestras lágrimas de lluvia os bañen
Esto es lo que vale la vida
Cuando los fuegos aún arden y hacen estragos a su alrededor

¿Puedes oír ese sonido espantoso?
El fuego sigue ardiendo en el suelo

Sigue el temible sonido
Mientras marchan a la batalla, escucha los tambores sonar
No luchamos por la guerra
Sino para salvar la vida de los que lo hacen

¿Oyes ese temible sonido?
El fuego sigue ardiendo en el suelo

¿Puedes sentir mi amor?
Subiendo con el calor de arriba

La vida es la historia de
Ascender a las estrellas como uno

Marchando a través de la tierra
Es un ejército pacífico que se une a la banda
Caminando de la mano
Al son de un himno cantado en voz alta donde se encuentran

¿Puedes oír ese sonido espantoso?
El fuego sigue ardiendo en el suelo

¿Puedes sentir mi amor?
Subiendo con el calor de arriba

La vida es la historia de
Ascender a las estrellas como uno

Who is Greta Van Fleet| Brief biography

  • Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band formed by brothers Joshua, Jacob, and Samuel Kiszka, later joined by drummer Danny Wagner.
  • They grew up in a tight community filled with genuine loving people, supportive people. “It was like a picture-perfect Americana sort of thing, they explained.
  • In 2012, when Jacob Kiszka and his twin turned 16, with his younger brother Sam being 14, they formed a blues and folk band. They played the music they had always heard at home.
  • It wouldn’t be until 2017 that they would release their first song Highway Tune(you’ll find it below). The track was later part of their first EP, Black Smoke Rising, which was quite successful 🔝

Why are they called Greta Van Fleet?

The band took that strange name of a neighbor from Frankenmuth, Michigan, where they are from. The lady’s name is Gretna Van Fleet.

Meaning of Greta Van Fleet

They happened to hear the name and liked it so much that they asked Mrs. Van Fleet permission to use it. They then removed letter “n” and adopt it for the band. By the way, the lady is old now, but in her time, she was the drummer of a polka band 🥁

  • They would soon release a 2nd EP, From the Fires, including memorable tunes such as Safari Song or a version of Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come. It was awarded with Best Rock Album Grammy.
  • Both in their previous works and Anthem of the Peaceful Army”, their first long play, they were compared to Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin’s singer) admitted the resemblance 👯‍♂️
  • Despite being an honor, the comparison began to tire them. Maybe because of that, or following Elton John advice, with whom they sang at a charity event, the band had a noticeable shift towards a more dramatic tone and flamboyant wardrobe, which they currently retain.

Greta Van Fleet have the youth and talent to become a legendary band, only time will tell, but they have certainly got off to a great start.
