A new single release from Robert Nilsson, Give Me The Water.
“Give Me the Water” is the first single from a series of tracks that will culminate in an album releasing autumn of 2021 in which I pay tribute to my musical role models and my roots, which have enriched my musical life. R&B music captured my mind at a very young age and set me on the path to becoming a performing artist and, later, a hopeful composer trying to follow in the footsteps of the great masters.
“Give Me the Water” is inspired by my experiences with how it feels not to be recognized for the work and the music you make. It’s about times when you want to give up, sell your instruments, and do something completely different. There are so many musicians who, like myself, live in the hope of one day being able to feed themselves and not live on support or other measures. I know that a lot of music is released every day, so it's something of a stroke of luck for someone to spot one's music among all these releases.
The song is also about forgiveness, gratitude, and being happy despite financial hardship and an uncertain future, and about my thankfulness that I still have good health and the opportunity to exercise, make new music, and be with my loved ones and the people I care about the most, which gives me joy and inspiration.
