Tony Furtado’s poignant new song, The Immigrant, is a beautifully-arranged tribute to the plight and resilience of immigrants in the U.S. during this period of political turmoil. 

The Immigrant is the first cut from an album of new tunes recorded over the past year and scheduled for release in 2026. It’s co-produced by Tony and Luke Price and features an all-star line-up including Luke Price on fiddle/electric guitar, Todd Sickafoose on bass, Andy Borger on drums, Rob Burger on accordion, and Simon Chrisman on hammered dulcimer.

In The Night

I love the game
But I’m all about cutting corners
I can’t walk in a straight line
And I never claimed
That I know where the hell I’m going
On the road to being fine
But these words apply:

I tend to shapeshift in my mind
I can travel time
I’m used to leaving things behind
Feels good when it’s done right
I steal apples from the dining hall
Make tea, forget to drink it all
I fuck up and I fall (a lot)

Still, I keep living
Endings, beginnings
Knowing it might end badly
Knowing the road might take me
Somewhere far from home

From what I know
People don’t ask a lot of questions
They just guess when they get lost
They move too slow
I go around them when I can
I don’t need crosswalks
I like to get lost

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Won’t you walk with me?
We’ll get there safely
I’ve already gotten so much farther 
Than I ever thought I would
Won’t you walk with me?
The road’s forgiving
Even when you take wrong turns
You’re still doing better than you could

You’re still living
Despite everything
Knowing the road might end soon
Knowing it’s bound to take you
Somewhere far from home
