Long is the Road

Words & Music Andy Casson
9th June 2013

Wide is the river that flows to the sea
She cries to my soul
Come lay down your head and lets dream

And wide is the road that's easy to see
She lies to my soul
Come lay down your woes and let's speak

High time to let it go
And wide is the ocean, wide is the sea
Long is the road inside of me

As wide as the ocean our life seems to be
You cry to my soul
Come take up my hand and let's see

And long is the road to face you and me
You sigh in my soul
Come take up my hand and be free

High time to let it go
And wide is the ocean, wide is the sea
Long is the road inside of me

[Farrell Jackson]

Moody rock goodness, cool vox too, excellent listen!!

[Tangled Wires]

You really do put out some outstanding songs Andy.

That simple but insanely hooky piano part during the verses drives the song along beautifully, kind of delicate but powerful at the same time.

Love that breakdown around 2.45 with the spoken background vocal  and how it all then picks up again for the finale

The drums are really cool, really interesting varied patterns...what do you use?

Powerful, melodic and utterly brilliant!!

[Daniel Storey]

very nice moody minor key piece... cool progression and melody man.. sweet production... How did you do the drums? they sound great...

[Rata-tat-tat]

I hope I'm not double posting... I keep hitting post... and nothing happens. I'll try one more time... Hopefully I haven't commented 10 times on yer tune LOL. Andy have to echo the drums... has that metal vibe with the double bass and honestly I like to play that lick quite often with the snare accent using a quadruplet AKA (Quads). You can put a quads have become a very versatile fill for me. So... now I have to update my Andy Casson greatest hits folder... I don't think you've posted anything that hasn't made it there.... unless I missed something. AWESOME
