about
The title track of Tristan Armstrong’s forthcoming album (available early 2025), “The Lonely Avenue,” is a cathartic release of rock-and-roll energy inspired by the dualities of urban life and a longing for home. Written during his early days in Toronto after moving from Vancouver Island, the song melds raucous rhythms with an undercurrent of melancholy, creating a dynamic sound that captures the bittersweet transition of leaving behind the familiar to chase a dream.
Out December 16th!
Out December 16th!
lyrics
I’m on the right track to far gone
Along the lonely avenue
Three out of four cats can’t be wrong
So run along and let me through
I think I made a big mistake
And you might have talk me down
Before you’re sweeping up my face
A million pieces on the ground
There goes my heart
There goes my love
Falling from above
Losing my way searching for you
Along the lonely avenue
At night I lay awake and pine
For yesterdays I’ve left behind
Sailing on an emerald sea
And in such savoury company
There goes my love
There goes my heart
Forever we’re so far apart
Stumbling on, I’m black and blue
Along the lonely avenue
Sometimes it drifts out of my mind
I’m black and blue, stumbling blind
But still I lay awake and pine
For yesterdays I’ve left behind
So stop me if you’re out there too
Along the lonely avenue
Along the lonely avenue
Along the lonely avenue
Three out of four cats can’t be wrong
So run along and let me through
I think I made a big mistake
And you might have talk me down
Before you’re sweeping up my face
A million pieces on the ground
There goes my heart
There goes my love
Falling from above
Losing my way searching for you
Along the lonely avenue
At night I lay awake and pine
For yesterdays I’ve left behind
Sailing on an emerald sea
And in such savoury company
There goes my love
There goes my heart
Forever we’re so far apart
Stumbling on, I’m black and blue
Along the lonely avenue
Sometimes it drifts out of my mind
I’m black and blue, stumbling blind
But still I lay awake and pine
For yesterdays I’ve left behind
So stop me if you’re out there too
Along the lonely avenue
Along the lonely avenue
