Gloryland
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
You're here in gloryland
It started with a feeling
And a dream was born in you
You hope and pray that come the day
You'll see that dream come true
With every passing moment
You begin to understand
That you're bound for gloryland
With a hunger in your heart
And with fire in your soul
With passion rising higher
You know that you can reach your goal
Reach your goal
Believe in what you do
And you'll go straight to see it through
So see it through
On the road to gloryland
Gloryland gloryland
And I say (loving it)
Gloryland in gloryland (glory)
It's in your heart
It's in your hand
In gloryland in gloryland in gloryland
You're here in gloryland
This is gloryland (go
Come)
As the day gets ever closer
You are reaching for the sky
The flame(s) that burn inside
Are the flames that never die
When you start to believe
It's in your heart it's in your hand
You know this is gloryland (gloryland)
And I say
Gloryland in gloryland
It's in your heart it's in your hand
Gloryland hey gloryland
You're here in gloryland
Gloryland
Gloryland in gloryland
It's in your heart it's in your hand
In gloryland hey gloryland
You're here in gloryland
This is gloryland.
Gloryland - Daryl Hall
Daryl Hall's 'Gloryland' stands as a defining track of the mid-1980s power ballad era, characterized by its soaring melody and emotive delivery. As a solo effort that often appeared alongside his work with O'Kelly, the song exemplifies the genre's focus on romantic longing and dramatic vocal performance. The recording captures the polished production style of the era, blending orchestral arrangements with a driving rhythm section to create an anthem-like quality. While the song did not achieve the massive commercial dominance of some of Hall's earlier hits with O'Kelly, it remains a significant piece of his solo discography, showcasing his ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate with listeners seeking emotional depth in pop music.
