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
