The Road is Me

from Hourglass by Howard Gladstone

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Howard Gladstone's 2017 Release, Hourglass, on Compact Disc.

    Howard Gladstone on vocals and acoustic guitar is joined by Laura Fernandez on vocals, Tony Quarrington on guitar, George Koller on bass, and Great Bob Scott on drums (4 tracks). The album was recorded in high resolution audio to ensure studio quality sound is available to the listener.

    Focused intently on crafting powerful lyrics, and aiming to find their perfect union with melody, arrangement and musical accompaniment, Gladstone created songs that reflect a quiet despair, but are matched by hope-driven optimism. An early reviews states” Hourglass flows with flourishes of insight and romantic imagery” *

    Gladstone is no stranger to these ideas, since experiencing a sudden onset of spinal stenosis in 2014 that resulted in debilitating spinal surgery. At first he was totally paralyzed and completely immobile. It was a very gradual recovery, but after three years, he emerged with a greater passion, a higher level of commitment and inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the healing power of art and music.


    “You may be shattered like the hourglass,
    Grains of sand on dying grass,
    Winds rage and howl at your battered soul,
    Deep inside something keeps you whole"

about

“The Road Is Me” is a co-write with Quarrington, who also produced the record. Sporting a full-band treatment, it’s about the freedom and sometime loneliness of the road, and how “movin’ to keep movin'” made more sense at a younger age. Quarrington proves here, that he can rock out on electric as well as acoustic. “The Road Is Me” is a co-write with Quarrington, who also produced the record.

lyrics

Left my home so long ago
Journeyed far and wide
Travelled easy, travelled hard
Sometimes you were by my side
Now the road is dark and nothing’s clear
Can’t tell where we go from here
We all know the journey ends
Guess I’ll se you there my friend

Still on the road
And the road’s in me
Places I been, places I want to be
Heading for home, paid the price for being free
Not ready to quit, not tired of it
The road is me

I knew where I was going
At least I thought I did
Everything made much more sense
When I was just a kid
Moving to keep moving
Going just to go
Stars were shooting way too fast
Now they’re falling slow

Thought I saw my journey clear
SI had such a pilgrim soul
Till things I believed in fell apart
Out of my control
Now I been running down this road
Up and down this well-worn track
Been so high and pushed back down
Got skid marks on my back


See how far I’ve come along
There are some things I’ve not forgotten
At my age my judgment’s ripe
Please tell me it’s not rotten
Mired in maturity
I see my heroes won’t be saving me
My thirst is quenched and hunger’s gone
Though there’s nothing I’m craving
