about

“Rocky Mountain Song” is the latest single from Canmore, AB quartet Northern Quarter; their first since “Trainhopper” back in May 2020. Composed by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Kerry Hunter, and joined as always by Carlos Nadeau (guitars), Wendy Crewe (bass) and Dave Crewe (drums), this new release sees the band experiment once again with their established indie folk pop roots, courtesy of guest instrumentalist Tim Newton (Shred Kelly), who brings extra depth to the music with his distinct banjo licks.

lyrics

Rocky mountain highway, only one thing on my mind
Rolling down the highway, no destination in sight
Music in my ears, sundogs in my eyes
Leaving all my fears in the dust and dirt behind

All that glitters ain't gold
All that's young must grow old
Fortune favours the bold
Or so I'm told

Rocky mountain heartache, riding shotgun by my side
Can't hold onto sorrow, it's all part of the ride
Can't steal or borrow someone else's life
So take a breath, keep putting up the fight

All that glitters ain't gold
All that's young must grow old
Fortune favours the bold
Or so I'm told

All that glitters ain't gold
All that's young must grow old
Fortune favours the bold
Or so I'm told
