Julian Taylor (Feat. Allison Russell) Pathways [Official Video]

The journey of life puts us all on our own respective pathways to find out who we are and how we can strive to overcome any of the inner doubts and struggles we all experience. This song is meant to be a letter from a person who has gone through many trivial experiences and who is trying to be there for someone younger like their child and protect them and guide them through the hard points in life. When we wrote the song, each writer felt as if they were speaking to their children. – Julian Taylor

Lyrics
On this pathway
As we get closer
I’ll be there as we grow older

From beginning to end
We make and lose friends
There’s so many pearls to gather
From the first thing we see
To the last thing we need
It’s the life in-between that matters
All the warmth that you bring
Darling, these things
Are the wings that we all chase after

And on this pathway
As we get closer
I’ll be there as we grow older
When you need me
Here’s my shoulder

Be gentle, be kind
Be grateful take time
Remember we’re in this together
Let’s just be who we are
Follow our hearts
And dream that love is forever

On this pathway
As we get closer
Closer
As we get closer
As we get closer
Don’t you know life, it’s the strangest thing
So many ages, and so many changes

And on this pathway
As we get closer
I’ll be there as we grow older
When you need me
Here’s my shoulder
And on this pathway as we get bolder
And closer
Here’s my shoulder
