    It seems to have been a long road since the first volume was released in February 2021… Creating music has had to take its place in a busy life that has included a wedding, a house move to Scotland, and a change of job. Now I am finally settled north of the border, I am ready with The Road Part 2, the rockier half of this two volume set.
     
    The main sound of The Road Part II is based around acoustic guitar and harmonies as with my previous releases but this time, the songs are built using different electric guitars, some folk instruments and even an Irn Bru bottle!

    As it is a horrible task to explain your own music, this review covers things pretty well!

    “Duncan’s voice is instantly recognisable. His songs are observational, taking in a wide variety of topics including relationships, travel, historical events, social, political, and environmental issues, with the occasional autobiographical reference thrown in for good measure. The music is upbeat, and even where the lyrics tackle serious subjects, The Road Part 2 will leave you with feelings of optimism.”

about

On a similar note, Fire is about the world of politics and especially about the blind faith afforded to politicians from “your side”. Tribalism has become a real problem across the world with the rise of populism and despite the spin, the backstabbing,  and the lying; we all end up in the same place.

lyrics

Even stars will fall
Rising above

Follow the blind
When all around you falls
A flicker of light

We are one for all
Watching the flood

Follow so blind
When all around you falls
A flicker of light

And it burns like a fire in the night
And we walk, we try to make it right
When they kill, its only to survive
In the earth, we will finally lie

All the way down
We learn nothing on the way
Down

From our favourite source
Fighting for all

Follow so blind
When all around you falls
Wait to ignite

And it burns like a fire in the night
And we walk, we try to make it right
When they kill, its only to survive
In the earth, we will finally lie

All the way down
We learn nothing on the way
Down

Duncan Reed Dunfermline, UK

Singer Songwriter based in Manchester. It is hard to define a genre for my music but its is generally based around acoustic instruments. The majority is quite deep and relaxing and revolves around vocal harmonies and counter melodies.
