My grandparents on my mother's side fled from persecution in Kiev in 1900 and found a sanctuary in the UK. This song is for them. Gefehlt Mir Mein Heym is Yiddish for I Love My Home.

A Long March Home

Gefehlt Mir Mein Heym

This the title track from my album, More To Be Revealed, released on Irregular Records in 2011

More To Be Revealed

Artist: Ian Roland
Album: The Wood Wide Web
Release Date: Fri 24th February 2023

“For all we know, For something better, Push the fear, Push the fear away.” Our survival depends on our ability to stop damaging our natural environment and to live in balance with it instead.

VERSE 1
NEW LIFE, CHANCE IS BY OUR SIDE
A LOVE WE LEFT BEHIND
PARALLEL REVEAL, NEW LIFE
LOVE HOW YOU MAKE ME FEEL

CHORUS
FOR ALL WE KNOW, FOR SOMETHING BETTER
PUSH THE FEAR, PUSH THE FEAR AWAY
SHOOTING UP TOWARDS THE SUN
SUNRISE MAY JUST SHOCK US FROM OUR DAZE
NEW LIFE

VERSE 2
NEW LIFE, MY HEART REMEMBERS YOU
IN TIMES WE’RE LIVING THROUGH
YOUR ENERGY APPEARS, NEW LIFE
THE KISS YOU PLANTED HERE

CHORUS 
FOR ALL WE KNOW, FOR SOMETHING BETTER
PUSH THE FEAR, PUSH THE FEAR AWAY
SHOOTING UP TOWARDS THE SUN
SUNRISE MAY JUST SHOCK US FROM OUR DAZE
NEW LIFE

VERSE 3
NEW LIFE, WAITED FOR SO LONG 
LOOKING FAR BEYOND
NOW REFLECTED HERE, NEW LIFE
DRAWS US NEAR

CHORUS (extended)
THROUGH THE COLD AND BITTER WEATHER
KEEP THE FEAR, KEEP THE FEAR AT BAY
BREAK THE SURFACE OUT OF HERE
RISING FROM THE FOG TO FIND A WAY

FOR ALL WE KNOW, FOR SOMETHING BETTER
PUSH THE FEAR, PUSH THE FEAR AWAY
SHOOTING UP TOWARDS THE SUN
SUNRISE MAY JUST SHOCK US FROM OUR DAZE
NEW LIFE

Baylen Leonard - Amazing Radio
"Ian Roland's songs have a way of sneaking into your head and heart after just one listen. I find myself singing them long after hearing them. His songwriting somehow has the magical ability to transport me back to the front porch of my youth. They manage to sound both modern and like something from times gone by. Excellent." Baylen Leonard - Amazing Radio, http://amazingradio.com/?show=thefrontporch

Phil Widdows - FolkCast
"Ian Roland is a gifted songwriter and performer with an individual and refreshingly different approach to his art, producing songs that really are well worth getting to know." - Phil Widdows, folkcast.co.uk
