LYRICS:
The Departure

Your road’s led you  
Through this life alone
The struggles you’ve known 
To find your place
Over and over
Damned to fail 
Wasting away on the lies
They sold your soul 

A fallen existence 
Adrift in irrelevance
The wrongs you've tried to fix
You don’t belong 

Their empty promises 
Have played you to their own ends
Misused and thrown aside
Denied

But now that you’ve found 
Your purpose here
We've helped you to break
Your ties to them 
You’ve seen what’s behind 
This vale of woes
And know that your world 
Isn’t of this wanton land

So don’t be afraid to face this
It’s time for the pain to finally end
Surrender your spirit to The Gift
It’s only in death that you’ll find 
The perfect love

The silent calm, so dear
Allays your final fears
The solace you’ve longed to find
For far too long

Your thoughts return to when
You’d play with your childhood friends
Alive in the summer sun 
~You shut them out

Your soul lies
Beyond this
Your soul lies
Beyond this

Don't waver now
Such doubts are just a test

Your sacrifice
Will make sense
Of all this

(DROP-BREAK)

In fire reborn
All whys shall be known
No longer in sin
All wonder resolved 

Your light in this darkness
Your life for this love

Widetrack is the musical partnership of father-son duo of Ron and Zach Tippin. 

The band's "Alterna-Prog" sound has been described as "Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling conducts a group therapy session with members of Soundgarden, Pink Floyd and Rush".

Their formative discography consists of 2007's self-titled debut, 2009's Widetrack II, and Zach's 2018 debut with the band, Widetrack III.  All three albums were co-produced by Andy Patalan, guitarist for popular '90s grunge-rock band, Sponge. 

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person. 

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday). 

Once the pandemic lockdown was lifted, they quickly began gaining considerable attention on the live music scene, inspiriting audiences with their electrifying energy and mood-enhancing vibe.

Presently, the duo is playing select shows in preparation for the release of their fifth album, Monoliths.

The Departure

Widetrack is the musical partnership of Ron and Zach Tippin. 

The duo's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of such progressive groups as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with the heaviness of alternative and hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc. 

Between 2007 and 2016, Ron self-released the band's first three albums, 'Widetrack', 'Widetrack II', and 'Widetrack III', Zach's recording debut, as bassist. 

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person. 

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday). 

The band is in the process of booking live dates and finishing their fifth album, 'Monoliths'.
