lyrics

I was driving back west through the patches of fog
We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be
You were back at home you were working a job
And you were hanging out nights with your friends at the bar
You didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be

When all you have is what’s inside your pocket
And all your dreams seem stuck up on the shelf
Well you’d best prepare the way for change is comin’
Cause the road will always take you somewhere else

I was waking up to the sound of the raindrops while you
Were in the southeast sleeping in truck stops
I didn’t know it then but I was right where I needed to be
You were making friends with people I’d never meet and I was
Praying to God that your band would succeed
I didn’t know it then but you were right where you needed to be

When all you have is what’s inside your pocket
And all your dreams seem stuck up on the shelf
Well you’d best prepare the way for change is comin’
Cause the road will always take you somewhere else

Don’t forget
All you’ve ever wanted is yours

Well the east coast is busy and the west coast is wild
The south keeps it steady while the north rolls around
And somewhere in the middle there are some towns that no one knows
Where every local kid comes out to every local show
Oh the road will always take you somewhere

Patterns in the Static
by The Classic Crime

supported by 97 fans who also own “The Road”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.

How to Be Human
by The Classic Crime

supported by 53 fans who also own “The Road”

Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library

Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018

Hard Times
by John Donne

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
