about

Ace drummer Ross Morgan bangs merrily along on this one, while Fraser Sneddon provides one of my favourite moments on the album, as his bass makes a beautifully fluid transition from the drop to the end chorus. The lyric is about the need that most of us have to find our comfort zone and then stick to it. Sometimes, we go through life like it was a rehearsal for something else, exercising caution over even the simplest moves.

lyrics

Some people impress you, they know from the start that they’re going to get what they deserve. I don’t know if it’s best to be stupid or smart, so I keep a little in reserve for the long way home.
On the long way home, are the rules that we play by our own? People need to believe that they’ll always find the long way home.

Maybe I’d be happy without all the strife, the tears and the bitterness and pain. Was that a rehearsal, or was it my life? Will I get to do some things again?
On the long way home, are the rules that we play by our own? People need to believe that they’ll always find the long way home.
