Gouryella is an alias and Uplifting trance project of the trance legend, Ferry Corsten. Gouryella was originally a Dutch trance act comprising Ferry Corsten and Tiësto, and since 2000, solely Ferry Corsten, where Ferry Corsten took on the Gouryella project solely as his own. The word itself means "heaven" in the Australian aboriginal language. Gouryella is best known for the self-titled track "Gouryella".
In 1999, Dutch musicians Ferry Corsten and Tiësto joined forces to create Gouryella. In time there were twenty separate album releases of the first four Gouryella tracks from nine different record labels.
Gouryella released seven tracks: "Gouryella", "Gorella", "Walhalla", "In Walhalla", "Tenshi", "Ligaya" and "Anahera". "Gorella" and "In Walhalla" were B-sides and were not released in the UK, although they did appear on the respective German and Dutch import albums. All the first four 'main' released tracks appeared on Tranceaddict's Top 100 EDM tracks list as well as the 2011 Trance Top 1000.
Alessandro Lindblad (born 7 July 1991), commonly known by his stage name Alesso, is a Swedish musician, DJ and record producer. He has worked with numerous EDM (and other) artists, including Theo Hutchcraft, Ryan Tedder, Calvin Harris, Usher, David Guetta, and Sebastian Ingrosso. He has also performed at numerous music festivals, including Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Tomorrowland. In 2012, MTV named Alesso one of the "EDM Rookies to Watch", and Madonna, who invited him to open select dates on her MDNA Tour, called Alesso "the next big thing in dance music." As of 2015, he ranks 13th on DJ Magazine's list of the top 100 DJs. His debut full-length album Forever was released on May 22, 2015 by Def Jam Recordings.
Lindblad was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and is of Italian descent. He started playing piano at age 7, but became interested in EDM when he was 16. Alesso first gained recognition with the release of his Alesso EP in 2010. In early 2011, Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia contacted Alesso and asked if he wanted to work together. Ingrosso introduced him to DJing and helped him with the production of tracks. Since that time, Ingrosso has acted as a mentor for Alesso, who referred to the elder Swede as a "big brother." Despite having learned to DJ in 2011, Alesso made his debut on DJ Magazine's list of the top 100 DJs at number 70 in that same year.

Felt your hollow planet day
I'm fine
Especially when you're far away
Sunshine
She's always on my mind
Like a filter in my head
She's always on my mind
Poring factories in my bed
Bet you're fancy custom made
I'm sick all of the time
And I'm tired all the time
And I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
Your time has come.
Believe me all the time
I'm seeing all the signs
And I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
Your time has come.
Swallowed your past
Followed your heart
Doesn't it hurt?
Was it all for fun?
Buried your soul
Unfilled yourself
Laid on your mountains
Warm with yourself
Just try to erase her
Unchanges the question
Just shy of survival
Raises all of your guns
Just try to erase her
Abandon your outcome
Then tell me your nothing
