about

MANY A SON continue to elevate their sound and show a different colour with their single ‘Northbound Rails’ released on 14/5/21.

Their newest single is an earnest alt-folk love letter for the homesick, with a soaring chorus, hints of trad & americana that bask in a vast soundscape of raw guitars, analogue synths & colossal drums calling to the wave whipped, wind-lashed, evergreen landscape of the North Coast, NI.

Inspired by familiar rail journeys stretching northward, this song longs for home. It deals with themes of belonging and family and the adventure of writing a new chapter when untethered. Yet it always keeps one eye on home, an anchor point on those coastal cliffs.

lyrics

By castles we stay
On rocks above
To watch the waves
That we've learned to love

Father, won't you tell me what you see when you're away
Do you think of all the people all but strangers in the day
Do you hear all of the words that they speak in their own tongues
And spend hours tryna find out what it is that they have done

Oh, you've still got home

It's not adventure if you're not homesick a little
And it's not your story if you don't go
Northbound rails bring us all
Northbound roads bring us home

Mother, do you worry of the place you'll lay your head
Do you think of the cost and the way that you've been led
This land and this journey will shape and change your soul
But give all of your strength and this peace you're sure to know

Oh, you've still got home

It's not adventure if you're not homesick a little
And it's not your story if you don't go
Northbound rails bring us all
Northbound roads bring us home

And it's not adventure if you're not homesick a little
And it's not your story if you don't go
Northbound rails bring us all
Northbound roads bring us home
