GYPSY PISTOLEROS release new video for single 'Shadow Walker', out 13th December, new album 'Welcome To The Church Of The Pistoleros' will be released spring 2025
"Shadow Walker" tells the story of a figure who exists between worlds, drifting through the boundaries of light and shadow, self and other, human and nature. The Shadow Walker is an elusive, shifting being, embodying the spirit of the changelings in the forest. The lyrics describe a journey through internal and external darkness, where the protagonist must confront hidden parts of themselves, symbolized by shadows. This journey is not just about uncovering secrets but about transformation, allowing the protagonist to merge with the mystic forces of the forest, shedding their old self in the process. A better World!
"Shadow Walker" explores how facing and embracing our inner shadows allows for a profound transformation. The Shadow Walker’s journey is ultimately one of acceptance—of their connection to the unseen, primal forces of nature and the acceptance of their true self. By navigating the labyrinth of their fears, they achieve unity with both the self and the natural world, embodying a timeless, mystical force. Impervious to the Dark World that we live in!
