about

Kaurna Cronin's new single Glass Road is sonically delicate and precise, displaying the best, most intimate aspects of the acoustic genre combined with an inventive and experimental modern approach. His knack for timeless sentiment and rich imagery in his songwriting is palpable in this new deep and existential song. The song is a preamble for his upcoming album Aloft In Blue which explores some of the deepest existential concerns of our time coupled with lush and emotive soundscapes cementing Cronin as an artist for this moment and setting him at the cutting edge of contemporary folk.

His artistry in combing emotive soundscapes with intelligent and heartfelt lyrics in the tradition of folk troubadours who are storytellers first and foremost demonstrates a maturity and an ingenuity beyond his years. Cronin's extensive songwriting experience and relentless international touring schedule have him regarded as a truly unique artist and captivating entertainer who is always seeking to push the genre to new heights. This release proves he is an artist well poised to keep folk moving into the future.

lyrics

On a journey void of mercy
Where our paths are marked by trails
You find yourself waving from a window
Of a carriage bound for the milky way
Leave the light behind you
No staring where to fall
Forced to soar above this old world
From the day that we could crawl

It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on

There's a beacon in the stars
No truck stop up ahead
No clearing in the chaos
To rest ones weary head
Everyone loses someone
Best you lose them best you can
Respites the best reward
While we make the choice just where we land

It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on

These things
Litter the streets
These days I ain't so sure
I can still use my feet
But life lives without us
So we better just land
We gotta get off this glass road
While we still can

It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
no matter which side ---

It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on
