It’s important to know and to keep in mind that Gerald makes is a calculated effort done in hopes of pulling one further into his own world to have one feel his art in expressionate words put into music. The album Endless Summer, had put Gerald on the map, it had taught all of us to have fun and not take ourselves too seriously even though we are all determined to make our dreams a reality and as possible as we can no matter how hard the
struggle. Gerald is unafraid with mature ideas about himself, sobering realization that living a dream is no exemption from one's daily indignities. One does get the feeling that there’s a better album somewhere inside of him, These Things Happen shows promise to not only him but promise to his family to all of his fans worldwide throughout the nation.
