Lyrics:

I still hear your voice in the hallway light
Faint as the wind on a silent night
The pictures fade, but I hold them near
Your laughter echoes in the quiet here

Time has a way of moving on
Even when the best of us are gone
I lit a candle on your birthday past
Whispered a joke, and I almost laughed

But still I walk, through all the weight
Though the hands I held met quiet fate
The road keeps turning, the sun will rise
Even when the light has left your eyes
I carry you in all I do
But I must keep living too

Friends have vanished into different years
Some to silence, some to distant cheers
We swore we'd never drift apart
But time rewrites the bravest hearts

Still I walk, though the path feels cold
With stories left that won’t be told
The seasons change, the world moves fast
But I still love what couldn’t last
And even with this empty view
I must keep living too

Some nights I wonder what you’d say
If you could see me now this way
But I believe you'd want me strong
To sing, to laugh, to carry on

So still I walk, and I will try
To find new colors in the sky
Though memories tug and time feels cruel
I won’t let sorrow break the rule
Of all you gave and all you knew—
That I must keep living too

Yes, I must keep living too
Even when I’m missing you

Still I Walk

I Found Love.

Since the formation of The King’s Parade in 2012, the four-piece’s assured touch of melodic, crossover pop with classic Detroit blues has frontman Olly Corpe and his band evoking the credible sounds of Bill Withers, Leon Bridges and Jamie Woon.
 
This is a classic sound honed by musicians playing together more than 40 hours a week on a Hawaiian cruise ship. Think the Beatles’ unknown early gigs in Hamburg strip clubs and you’re about there.

It’s not just storyline though: The King’s Parade quickly proved their technical chops after joining the London circuit, securing a residency at legendary blues institution Ronnie Scott's - and since then they’ve played tastemaker shows at The Great Escape, Bestival and Reeperbhan Festival this year as well as embarking on their first European tour including selling out London’s OSLO.
 
With early tastemakers including CLASH, NOTION and EARMILK expressing their admiration for their debut releases ‘Bunched Up Letters’ and ‘Silhouette’ – their new EP ‘Vagabond’ cements The King’s Parade’s status as one of the most naturally talented and hustling young blues acts this year.
