about

Written immediately after returning home from a Paul Weller gig, this one has had a few shapes but this is the final. I was inspired from hearing (the then unreleased) These City Streets performed, this is in a totally different key , speed and feel, but what got me inspired was the groove that the whole band had to this, and that was my aim. This is one of the tracks that shows why having the ability to drum the tracks is infinitely preferable to programming at times, and this is a drumming take I’m very proud of!

lyrics

Locked on to a guided course;
You’re a lifeboat, a rock, a beacon to the ones out lost.
A clear tone in sea of noise;
You’re the small branch of truth in forest of misinformation.
Tied up in a moment’s grace;
The look on your face is just enough to spur me on to more.
Real hope in your baby blues;
The words that you choose raise me hope and make my spirit soar.

This love is an open road; no destination to choose, it’s just a journey far beyond the door,
Hearts locked in a chosen path; just future no past in a class that we can call our own.

Push! Strive! You don’t ascend to survive.
You’re embedded with style, you’re the detail that they can’t ignore.
Raised high like a mighty flag;
A banner of hope for the cause that fought and lost it all.
Too much! It’s all been told,
You’re the one fact they gleaned in an ocean full of pointless data.
Carved up and left in the cold,
You’re a moment to hold in an hour that should be best forgotten.

This love is an open road; no destination to choose, it’s just a journey far beyond the door,
Hearts locked in a chosen path; just future no past in a class that we can call our own.

Crunched numbers; digitize the human factor;
Disharmonic; a drowned out note in ceaseless chatter.
Upriver; against the flow of ceaseless targets
You’re the aim of the game, you’re the sane in the madness’ roar.
