I had wanted to vid this song for McShep at some point, but I never got around to it and thought maybe someone would be inspired by its lyrics for this fest.
Song for the Road by David Ford
Well the day casts down Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns I drove 300 miles from the place I call home And I tip my hat to the angel of the North
And the sun it set fire to the heavens On the hills over Sheffield tonight And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old And we are nowhere, but man, we're alright
So you can keep your belief in whatever And I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo While poets try to engineer definitions of love You know all I can think of is you
And I can't wait to see you on Sunday Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise For this evening I will play back every message that you sent And I will sleep to the sound of your voice
Now I don't like using words like forever But I will love you til the end of today And in the morning when I remember everything that you are I know I'll fall for you over again
Now I know someday this all will be over And it's hard to say what most will I miss Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive And I choose this, I choose this, I choose this I choose this, I choose this, I choose this I choose this, I choose this Yeah, I choose this

Song for the Road by David Ford
Well the day casts down
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the North
And the sun it set fire to the heavens
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old
And we are nowhere, but man, we're alright
So you can keep your belief in whatever
And I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
While poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you
And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice
Now I don't like using words like forever
But I will love you til the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again
Now I know someday this all will be over
And it's hard to say what most will I miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I choose this, I choose this, I choose this
I choose this, I choose this, I choose this
I choose this, I choose this
Yeah, I choose this
