Rear View Mirror 03:07
lyrics

Just one too many early Sunday morning midnight slides another seven hours with heartache running through my mind I’ve got to tell you in the cool clear light of day gonna get me on my way Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Disappearing out of sight Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Girl I’m changing up I’m changing up You’re out my life Got this resolved I’m glad I solved our little plight Radio’s on rock n roll - I’m driving through the lonely night Don’t know if I’m ever coming back this way again Hasta luego - don’t know when Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Disappearing out of sight Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Girl I’m changing up I’m changing up You’re out my life I gotta live to love another day So i’m getting on the road and getting on my way Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Disappearing out of sight Here’s looking at you In my rear view mirror Girl I’m changing up I’m changing up You’re out my life ..and I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone yeah yeah ..and I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone yeah yeah Woo Hoo!!

Glasgow City Spires 04:48
lyrics

Drifter, migrant, aimless child I walk the city mile for mile The streets below my soles they’re home to me My home town’s now a foreign land I left a boy returned a man I’m finding out that freedom isn’t free Its never free I heard your song pulling me back to where my heart belongs Your lyrics they’re no empty good to me I watched the sunrise Paint the Glasgow city spires I heard the echo of your sighs I’ve felt the cool breeze Touch these empty spaces I’ve seen the sunset in your eyes A raging fever in my blood To stand where all my father’s stood It dragged me back against the undertow I’ve seen the lights on foreignn graves I’ve touched the desert - Stormed the waves But I can’t recall the colour of your soul Still can’t recall After all I’ve said and done’s The anger of a lonely son So hard to let it out and let it go I watched the sunrise Paint the Glasgow city spires I heard the echo of your sighs I’ve felt the cool breeze Touch these empty spaces I’ve seen the sunset in your eyes

Soldier 04:56
lyrics

I was a soldier I was a fortune teller's son I was a young man on the run I was a good man Walking a path I made Setting my sail for other bays On a misty southern day Lord, I'm only dreaming Of the way she looked That golden August day Oh so long ago Lord, I feel I'm dying From that life, hat love I turned and walked away And If I could see her If I could see her again And if I could be there To see her one more time again No one could tell me I never learned my lessons I still go on my own way No tenement saviour No Romeo with a siren song To steal her away to better days On a misty southern day Lord, I'm only dreaming Of the way she looked That golden August day Oh so long ago Lord, I feel I'm dying From that life, hat love I turned and walked away And If I could see her If I could see her again And if I could be there To see her one more time again

Girl, when you walk with me Can’t you see you sanctify my soul Why d’you hurry me We got the time to take it slow.. Now you want those words (and) I can feel this slide from my control I can feel your pain you look me up and down and then you say Hey yea (Are) you riding my way And I say (Hey) Hey (Hey) Hey-yea maybe just today Hey you can Walk My Way I’m gonna treat you right We gonna cruise tonight No need to get uptight It’s gonna be alright I say Hey yeah yeah You can Walk My Way Walk you out tonight The guys all turn their heads as we hit the street Girl you look so right You got them falling at your feet Now we’ve been walking out a while You say our love’s gone cold - what can I say Girl you make me smile you look me up and down and walk away Hey yea (Are) you still riding my way And you say (Hey) Hey (Hey) Hey-yea maybe just today Jealous eyes watch us walking down the road Hypnotised by the way you rock n roll By the fire in your soul

Social Man 04:34
lyrics
buy track
They tell me I’m a social man I keep the candle burning The party’s life, the soul. the perfect host I’ll pour a glass for you my friend and one to keep you company and if they’re down in one I’ll charge another toast Haven’t had a drink all day I’ll settle down to watch the game A Sam or two will make the action flow I’m a Social Man A Social Man I know the score I know the score It’s getting harder to recall The way I get to bed The Captain and the Jack Play football in my head. My wife said “Jimmy don’t you drink too much tonight” “You’re working in the morning and you got to be there straight” but I just need to find a glass for one more Jake to put me right and if I can fake it through the morning I’ll make it through another day I’m a Social Man A Social Man I know the score I know the score

about

"Cain Rising connects with the millions of Baby Boomers and Gen Xer’s who seem to have been forgotten by major record labels - they've produced an epic EP with Rear View Mirror, and it’s well worth the investment to purchase this" - I Am Entertainment Magazine

Following on from their critically acclaimed debut album CAIN RISING have been back in the studio and are proud to release this 5 track EP.

Where the debut album displayed the breadth of their influences, from East Coast rock to the raw folk, the 5 tracks on Rear View Mirror shows a band whose confidence is growing and who are not afraid to let their music grow with it.

Since we last heard from Cain Rising there have been some personnel changes. The core of Jo, Jez and Jimmy remains. Incoming guitarist Ian Hopper - edgy and creative; Mick Ivory’s drumming is the band’s beating heart. Matt Crawford joined us in the studio. His Hammond and Piano lends the band a touch of soul.

The title track of the EP, Rear View Mirror, is a real “hit the road” song that drives along from the opening chords to mariachi outro with a real summer feel. This is the first time the band have experimented with a brass section courtesy of Rebecca Gibson Swift and Pablo Mendelssohn.

Glasgow City Spires has the band rocking out behind lyrics reflecting the alienation that can hit you when returning to your home city. Listen out for an awesome solo from Ian.

Soldier takes the tempo back a touch with a real retro feel. A touch of Andy Fairweather-Low, a touch of The Hollies. Ian dusted off his Gretsch for the evocative solo.

Walk My Way - Rock meets Swing - again with horns from Rebecca Gibson Swift and Pablo Mendelssohn.

Finally, Social Man. A tense, raw, stripped back Country song - once more showing the band’s versatility and confidence.

The drawing behind the cover art for the Rear View Mirror EP and for the singles is by Julian O’Dell. Julian’s artwork has long been a favourite of the band’s. His work can be found on his website artattackoncancer.org . All proceeds from his sales go to the Action Against Cancer charity.
