Hey ya'll
We couldn't wait any longer... had to give ya a sneak peak of the new disc ahead of Friday night's launch!! We've uploaded a couple of tracks for ya... a brand newie called LONG ROAD and an old live fave ROAD TO RUIN. Hope you enjoy em!
LONG ROAD may seem like a bit of a change for Black Guns but it's indicative of some of the new material we've been working on. We promised a few surprises and we'll be debuting some other new tunes at the show on Friday, can't wait for ya to hear it all. LONG ROAD itself is a bit of an ode to being in a band... it's a bullshit cliche but it really is a long and winding road (adventure) that we're on... spending hours locked away in the rehearsal studio with your best mates, drinking beers with the punters you meet at shows, travelling all over with your guitar and a fistful of tunes and the never ending cast of characters who parade through your life... it really does kick ass most of the time.
Here's the lyrics if you're interested...
LONG ROAD - by BLACK GUNS
Left town on a South bound train
Heading for the lights in the city
I packed a guitar and a hessian bag
And left behind the nitty gritty
On the road...
Heading home...
I keep on rolling like a rolling stone
It's a long, long road I'm travelling
Travelling home
It's a long, long road I'm travelling
And I'm carrying a heavy load
I hit the tiles and I sang my songs
Every single night in the city
Long nights, living the life
Man I'm taking it but it aint pretty
Hard times, regrets and goodbye's
But I'm thankful for the time that I'm given
It aint much but it's all I got
And I wouldn't swap the life that I'm living
See ya on Fridee night!!!!!
