about

When the world is going crazy, things are falling apart and you find the going tough, you just have to keep walking.

lyrics

I'M STILL WALKING

They said that you’d be happy; they said that you’d be free
They said you could be anything that you wanted to be
They said just play the game; they said just toe the line
There’s a wide world out there; everything’s gonna be fine
But they didn’t tell you about the serpent inside
Or about the battlefield where good and evil collide
And they didn’t tell you about the Shepherd who died
And to follow him you’ve got to swim against the tide

They put me down, but I’m still walking
I’m weary to my bones, but I’m still walking
I’m still walking along this narrow way
No turning back no matter what they say

Some days it’s hard, some days it’s harder
You’ve got to protect her; you’ve got to guard her
You feel so helpless, there’s nothing you can do
Everybody’s lost hope and you have too
An unseen killer is stalking our town
And everybody’s screaming, “Your side’s going down”
So many people facing a new reality
So many people facing their own mortality

They put me down, but I’m still walking
I’m weary to my bones, but I’m still walking
I’m still walking along this narrow way
No turning back no matter what they say

No one’s listening to your silent scream
You’ve got a nightmare while they’ve got a dream
The wise and the powerful are nothing but fools
With their tactics and plans, and political tools
Everyone’s progressive, but progressing to what?
On the right side of history—the kind that Hollywood’s got
You’re fashionably woke, but are you really awake
Are you the only ones who’re not making a mistake?

They put me down, but I’m still walking
I’m weary to my bones, but I’m still walking
I’m still walking along this narrow way
No turning back no matter what they say

about

Alex MacDonald Edinburgh, UK

Grew up in Kildonan Strath, Sutherland, where I loved the psalms and hymns and the old folk songs my father had learned from his drover grand uncle.Went on to Cash, the Clancys and Corries, Tom Paxton and Dylan. Started playing guitar and writing songs in my teens, but only started recording this century with my rock band sons! Either solo or with my band, I've played all over Scotland. ... more
