about

Along the Road written & performed by The Guest Room, reveals much of the song’s meaning explicitly in its lyrics. Inspired by the bands time on the road, while driving it is easy to focus on your end destination and take for granted the people and places along the way. It is an encouragement to all would be travellers to get out and learn about the world around them and the journey that they are on. The people and places we encounter while on our journeys are all vital aspects of our lived realities that make us who we are. All in all, this song is about taking time to appreciate the stories and cultures of others throughout your life’s journey.

lyrics

City streets come to life when it gets dark
Through our window as we watch
Moving freely face to place feels so rough
Just to see is not enough

All these stories from my pages speak my dreams
Through my pen they cannot hide
Of a story hidden for me in my hands
Just to know is not enough

All along the road we ride through
All along the road we see
All along the road we ride through
All along the road we see

City streets come to life when it gets dark
Through our window as we watch
Moving freely face to place feels so rough
Just to see is not enough
