I'm on the rocky road
Heading down off the mountain slope
And as my steps echo echo,
louder than before
Another day is done,
say goodbye to the setting sun
See what I found,
Turn back to the ground
Just like before

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

Into the undergrowth,
Twist and turn on a lonely road
In the twilight
the day turns to night
And I'm alone

And when the light has let
I'm not sure of my every step
Follow the wind that pushes me west
Back to my bed

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day

When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

INTERESTING! GOOD TUNE!  Nice mix of genres. I don't care what anybody else says! It is the first time I've heard it.  Thanx RP!

I remember seeing these guys when they weren't big at all. In fact they used to play at the uni bar (Guelph university, Canada) quite a bit. It's great to see them getting getting recognized all the way over in California.


PCH?  (Peter Clark Hall for those in the know...although Cali does feature the Pacific Coast Highway, tbh...)

Then you will have to spell it out for me: How does saying you can't believe these guys are Canadian equate to a compliment on their musicianship?

That's a distinctly Canadian problem.  The rest of us majority who haven't gotten beat over the head with this song are happy to hear it again.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Sounds like some post-Graceland Paul Simon (which is a good thing).

The first couple times I heard it, I thought it was fun.
But after a thousand times hearing it in various media, I want it to go away forever.
Sure, it's a cute song, but there isn't enough substance to make it last.
This song needs to be buried in a deep hole in the ground.

I'll be nice, and give it a 4.

Yes, someone in the a capella is incredibly flat, which destroys the harmony. (Insert pertinent "soundclash" joke here.) And yes, it's in incredibly heavy rotation. It also sounds just like "Pressure Drop," yet another song in very heavy rotation, which is why it sounds like you hear it every few hours.

it sounds like the song Johnny Too Bad - The Slickers. it is from The Harder They Come. It's also covered by Taj Mahal and Steve Earle. Steve's version has been played on RP but not in over a year.

Never had heard of this song before RP. Now I carry it in my car and each time my daughter an I sit in the car we loudly sing it together (good to know: my daughter is 6 y/old and her english is -of course- pretty poor, but she loves to sing the sound of the words).
