about

First single, taken from the final (as yet untitled) double album by The Cosmic Trip Advisors. Coming soon!

It's a road trip song about a small village in Scotland called Balintore (yes yes yes,we know the video footage is of Iceland...but you get the idea, right?) that Rod Mackenzie has visited every summer for over 4 decades. He stayed in a tiny white cottage with no electricity or running water. It was a calm place, off the beaten track...somewhere to escape the relentlessness of modern life. It's a song tinged with regret at leaving it behind...but filled with hope that you'll return one day. Sadly he won't be back again...the land was recently bought by a large company and his family have been evicted without recompense...which makes this all the more poignant.

lyrics

There's no light on this road
And no colour in the sky
As I drive off for the last time
Saying my goodbye's

I'll find you again one day
Where the blue waves meet the shore
When I'm passing through this town again
Be the same as before

Headlights hurt my eyes
Follow the white line
The stillness, oh it moves me
I'll be back again sometime

One day in the end
I'll come back for you
Like a hero in a book
That's what she would do...
