    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

Howl reflects on the plight of the fleeing Jacobite soldiers after the battle of Culloden. It is entirely fictional but explores the nature of belief and what it costs normal people: “For another year we hold on”. The video for this song was filmed during the recording of the song and gives a rarely seen insight into the process:

lyrics

For the undecided
Winter comes at last
For another day we hold on

Over barren passes
Shelter where we can
Though the hunt still rolls on

And the wind it howls

What you followed yesterday
Was meant to change the world
From the other side we hold on
And resistance to the change
With nowhere left to turn
For another time we hold on

Scan the dark horizon
Cast no shadows here
Leave behind the trace of no man
See the distant burning
Dies are long since cast
Powerless to stop, were undone

And the wind it howls

What you followed yesterday
Was meant to change the world
From the other side we hold on
And resistance to the change
With nowhere left to turn
Now another time we hold on

And the wind it howls
And the wind it howls
And the wind it howls
And the wind it howls

I remember yesterday
Was us against the world
From the other side we hold on
And resistant to the change
With nowhere left to turn
For another time we hold on

Through the endless winter
Spring will come at last
For another year we hold on
