The Radiant Believers was released September 1st, 2023 to astoundingly rave reviews from industry and radio professionals to fans around the world. Seven singles have been released from this rapturously uplifting album over the last few months with more scheduled. A few of the singles made multiple year-end best-of lists at radio stations and DJ's with two of them being listed as "song of the year" on the biggest radio shows in the indie synth community.

The 13-track album beams with hope and is lauded as one of the most remarkable indie success stories for this genre, and it is now officially on CD.

Thank you so much to all our fans - we love you to death and are left speechless by your incredible support and love! You've made us "Believers" in ourselves and we want to keep creating art that lifts you up and fills your world with light and inspiration.

You are the beauty that comes from within A perfect circle yeah, an opulent dream Scrape the surface for pieces of my heart And all that’s left is a benevolent scream Baby let's get together I wanna get with you Nobody else could matter What else do we have to lose? I’ll be your Magna Carta You'll be my cryptic queen A prophesy, a perfect piece of my heart Oh I want ya Oh I want ya I need you baby won’t you stay? Oh I want ya Oh I want ya I need you baby won’t you stay? Stick the knife in towards my lovable side Claim all you need it's all the space in the world I gave you galaxies to claim the stars for days But all your paintings blend into fodder grey Baby let's get together I wanna get with you Nobody else could matter What else do we have to lose? I’ll be your Magna Carta You'll be my cryptic queen A prophesy, a perfect piece of my heart Like a key you came in and opened my heart Like a key you came in and opened my, opened my heart Oh I want ya Oh I want ya I need you baby won’t you stay? Oh I want ya Oh I want ya I need you baby won’t you stay? Like a key you came in and opened my heart I need you baby won’t you stay? Like a key you came in and opened my, opened my heart I need you baby won’t you stay?

We both know all the times are changing All but pennies in a hat Answer nothing but the holy I'm tired and overwhelmed by it all So on and on and on and on I'm amazed we feel at all Hopeless dreaming That you're the light Needing my light That you're the light Needing my light The world is spinning overwhelming I hold my heart to see the sky For you and I, you and I And if the distance between you and me Gets any father I would die So on and on and on and on I'm amazed you feel at all When all the beasts inside you head They roar and scream for something And maybe all our dreams are fading And I’m amazed we feel at all Hopeless dreaming That you're the light Needing my light I never wanted anything but now things have changed I've got a hundred millions reasons why I’d die from the pain But you don’t No you don’t No you don’t I never wanted anything but now things have changed I've got a hundred millions reasons why I’d die from the pain But you don’t No you don’t No you don’t No no no No no no Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light Well your my light

Dreams die, poison the sky Everything is tied together, don’t know why Oh my God, look what we’ve done to this place I am barefoot in the sand Looking out to nature like a one night stand I feel the rumble I feel the earth start quake Godzilla, Gojira The radiant believer The one who broke through the Shi no Hai Heizou Rikoru Bikini atoll The ones who saw through the lucky dragon at all Bombs bursting in the image of man Quietly it waits with underwater plans Oh wise one, what will you do to replace? You breathe life across this sacred ground Keeping us in balance as we break her down I feel the rumble It's time we meet face to face Godzilla, Gojira The radiant believer The one who broke through the Shi no Hai Tectonic, atomic, the fire blue atoll The ones who were lucky to see the dragon at all Dreams die, poison the sky Everything is tied together, don’t know why Oh my God, look what we’ve done to this place Godzilla, Gojira The radiant believer The one who broke through the Shi no Hai Heizou Rikoru Bikini atoll The ones who saw through the lucky dragon at all I am barefoot in the sand Looking out to nature like a one night stand I feel the rumble I feel the earth start quake

Turned on some Clarke and Bell to save me Saw a lady selling drugs down on 152 Singing songs about God and the holes in her shoes Big fashion statements drilling holes in my head I'm a loser and a user if I don't wear red Paper or plastic in a prominent world  Doesn't even matter if you're a boy or a girl I see best with the lights down low Instead you blind the operator on this comical show So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to save me So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to take me away Who's to say the feelings that I feel they aren’t real? At least I throw them in the cloud to know how I feel Digital, mythical, hardly “indescriptable” Parodies of the lies that we tell ourselves My concrete heart needs some plastic love My brain is burning faster than a chemical shove Holy operator turn the dial down low I need to feel the love not just the chemical glow I need to feel the love not just the chemical glow Turned on some typical living Still spinning digital thoughts in my head Who's saying that we are willing We are the show We are the show So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to save me So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to take me away So I So I I need that analogue love Put the tape in the deck kind of love I need that analogue love  Put the tape in the deck kind of love So I So I Turned on some typical living Still spinning digital thoughts in my head Who's saying that we are willing We are the show We are the show So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to save me So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to take me away  So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to save me So I turned on some Clarke and Bell to take me away

There was a man who held all his treasures Staring at an empty sea No friends Nothing to call pleasure A tightened grip is all that he had to seize I hope this isn't me I hope this won't be me Now and again you’ll see defeat in me But ohh ohh Without you I'd be nothing The only way my heart can break Is by taking all the memories made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love yeah Without a plan you hold onto nothing You're living with a broken heart No end No one to call your lover Kind words always amount to something My words are writings on the wall For everyone to see Once in a while you'll see defeat in me But ohh ohh Without you I'd be nothing Because the only way my heart can break Is by taking memories that we made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love yeah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah Once in a while you'll see defeat in me But ohh ohh Without you I'd be nothing The only way my heart can break Is by taking all the memories made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love Because the only way my heart can break Is by taking memories that we made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love yeah The only way my heart can break Is by taking all the memories made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love 'Cause the only way my heart can break Is by taking memories that we made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love The only way my heart can break Is by taking all the memories made Just wake me up Please wake me up I need the love

Sing a song sweet music man 'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to I'm through with you You're a hell of a singer and powerful man But you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you You touched my soul with your beautiful song You even had me singing along right with you You said "I need you" Then you changed the words and added harmony Then you sang the song that you had written for me to someone new Nobody sings a love song quite like you do And nobody else can make me sing along Nobody else can make me feel that things are right when I know they're wrong Nobody sings a love song quite like you Sing your song sweet music man You travel the world with a six piece band that does for you What you tell them to And you try to stay young but the songs are sung To so many people who've all begun come back on you Sing your song sad music man You're making your living doing one night stands They're through with you They don't need you You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man And you keep on looking for one last fan to sing to Nobody sings a love song quite like you do And nobody else can make me sing along Nobody else can make me feel that things are right when I know they're wrong Nobody sings a love song quite like you
9.	Us 03:17	lyrics	buy track
These last three years I won't forget The science on the internet Telling me I'm wrong or that I'm right I feel the ones that like to speak And push opinions on the weak Are drowned out by the open-minded broken-hearted Where only fools rush in They only hurt where we're going Where are your truths justified? Baby this is us We're here to change the world Baby this is us We're here to change the world I'm stuck in a maze Of hatred and haze It's not hard to love each other It all seems undone so bury your guns This is the land of the open broken-hearted I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say My peace of mind will never go away Your lack of fact is hurting global peace And we are free to disagree On what's left of democracy But don't think time won't put you in your place Baby this is us We're here to change the world Baby this is us We're here to change the world I'm stuck in a maze Of hatred and haze It's not hard to love each other It all seems undone so bury your guns This is the land of the open broken-hearted Where only fools rush in They only hurt where we're going Where are your truths justified? Baby this is us We're here to change the world Baby this is us We're here to change the world I'm stuck in a maze Of hatred and haze It's not hard to love each other It all seems undone so bury your guns This is the land of the open broken-hearted

Oh trepidation! Fools in love can make amends But I can’t afford to be fooled again I want to feel above the fear I hope someday I’ll say Don’t deny the love that you love One day you will turn into dust Pressure me to tangle our hearts Feel like it is Oh trepidation!

about

Breathe Of My Leaves are Stephano Barberis and Jordan Gant

Stephano: ! would like to thank Jordan Gant, Tareya Green, Vince Clarke & Andy Bell (Erasure), all of the countless artists that lifted my soul since i was born (too many to list here), my eternal love Christa, Evan, mom & dad resting in peace, Zeus & Taivas, Kitimat and the creek of dreams that ran behind my house, this incredible country of Canada, the other incredible country of Greece that runs through my blood like lava, Godzilla, all of our fans & supporters, the stations and DJ's who play our music, and foremost, Jesus Christ - the light of the world.

We went through so much during the making of these songs. The pandemic happened. I lost both my parents. There was a lot of darkness but that made my resolve stronger to bring light into all the music. This is a despair-free zone. Light will always win over darkness. I'm so grateful for Jordan. His voice and his writing are second to none. I am so fortunate to have such a talent as a musical partner and friend. This album excites me so much but the future excites me far more.I remember every time I’d bring home music that was uptempo and danceable, my mom would excitedly tell me to throw it on the main stereo so we could dance to it. I hope this is one of those records she would have danced to with that unmatched zest for life.
Thank you to everyone so much for listening. We do this all to lift you up, inspire and move you.

Jordan: I want to thank Keane, Miles Kennedy, Daniel Johns, Billy Corgan, Jay Kay and all the wonderful people that I have met on this musical journey. Working in a new genre has helped me grow as an artist, singer and writer and I could not be more grateful to the following people:
my parents who have always believed in my singing, my brothers for always giving amazing support and feedback when I needed it the most, my wonderful partner in life Tareya for always showing me support during the endless nights of recording and repetitive editing, and all my past teachers and mentors who put up with me from being an annoying teenager to the old man I am now. I am very grateful to the radio stations and the team that we have surrounded ourselves with. Your feedback and support always helps us go that extra mile. To Stephano, my partner on this album. You did it. We did it. I think we created something people will really relate to because it is real, it is honest, and it shows our vulnerability during this project. Always happy to carve new trails with you when it comes to creating our music. Thank you for listening to the album. I hope it gives all of you a smile or a laugh at some point. The album is frantic, smooth and chaotic but played out with intent.
To all of you radiant believers, happy listening. Truly, thank you.
