I’ve kind of got used to feeling cold
I know I was warm one day a long, long time ago
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
I’d rather not say why I couldn’t stay home
Now I get paid never to be alone
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
The trucks roll by here day and night
I know how to come on in a headlight
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
The signs are in a language I don’t understand
But I’m not going anywhere anyway so I don’t give a damn
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
I think I caught his eye about 4am
I thought he looked kinder than the other men
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Now somewhere someone’s saying I was in the wrong
And that I never should have travelled where I don’t belong
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
I don’t know where I am but I know I’m gonna stay
Cause if you just stand still you can never lose your way
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Maybe there’s a road that’s not this hard
Show me a road that’s not this hard
Show me a road that’s not this hard

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
