Red Road by Soma Saloli
Soma Saloli’s earthy voice and fiddle harmonies by M’Gilvry Allen join forces on this track to recall the steadfastness of first steps in a new land while echoing the green undulating glens of the Northern Irish countryside and its cliff-lined Atlantic coast. On the B-side, a dance remix by M’Gilvry Allen resamples the melodic elements of the single into a rhythmic celebration of friendship and homecoming.

Lyrics:
I padded the road up to the North Antrim coast
I am coming as a guest here, but the traveled road I know
Treading lightly on layered histories below
I am coming as a guest here, but the traveled road I know
I followed a trail on a pilgrimage to a home
We were walking together, we were walking alone
We learned each other's names, but they're impenetrable
We were walking together, we were walking alone
I've seen the nighttime lights of Larne
Came to the bay in the shade of Knocklayd
I've woken up with the clouds at dawn
Slept with the seed in the soil of faith
The Red Road unfolds before us
Steady tap of our footsteps, met by the rising of the rockbed
The Red Road unfolds before us
One foot before the next, straight ahead down our winding paths
The Red Road, the Red Road, the Red Road unfolds before us.
