She began writing original songs when she was twelve and was accepted into a performing arts school at sixteen. Her life has always been dedicated to following her dream of being a recognised singer/songwriter and in 2003 that dream was realised with the release of her debut album 'The Lighthouse.' But the road wasn't always easy, and Amity spent many years honing her skills as a songwriter and performer before her big break. This journey included making trips to Nashville, USA's country music capital, which is home to many of the world's best songwriters. It was on these trips that Amity really progressed as a writer, and it was following her second trip that she wrote her future smash hit song, 'The Lighthouse.' In late 2002 Amity finally go the break she had been looking for, but it came in a package she had not expected, with a role on the hit reality renovation show 'The Block.' The Block drew audiences of up to 3 million people, all of who were introduced to Amity's music, and it proved to be the break she needed to launch her first album In July 2003 Amity's debut album 'The Lighthouse' was released and debuted at no.8 on the Australian ARIA chart. 'The Lighthouse' went on to peak at no. 6 and was certified GOLD in just a week. Over the last 3 years 'The Block' has screened throughout the world, including the USA, UK, Canada, Asia and Europe and 'The Lighthouse' has been released in New Zealand and South Africa. In 2005 Amity released her second album 'True To Me' independently. This album features a fresh new sound and a stronger feel than 'The Lighthouse' and once again Amity has written or co-written every track. Now, with the first single 'Rollercoaster' gaining strong radio support throughout Australia, Amity was busy touring and promoting 'True To Me' while awaiting the birth of her baby son Jamison Mackenzie who was born April 2 2006 in Sydney. Now Amity will be taking a break until early 2007 to enjoy motherhood. 'The Lighthouse' and 'True To Me' can be bought online at www.amitydry.com or itunes Australia.

Every Road
Amity Dry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again, I wonder what I'm waiting for?
Once again, I'm staring at the phone
I'm trying to find the words to tell you how I miss you
How it's changed since you've been gone

And you might not understand if you've never loved a man
So deep and so strong that you'll keep on holding on
To that road the leads me back to you every time
To the voice that's telling me to leave it all behind
My heart's still beating to the rhythm of your love
And nothing else can be enough, no no

I can't remember now what could have been so bad
Whatever made me let you go
And I know that time has made me blind to the reasons
It's a sugar coated memory, that I know

And you might not understand if you've never loved a man
So deep and so strong that you'll keep on holding on

Once again I wonder, why I love you still?
Why I just can't let go of the past?
'Cause in my heart, I know that it was over long ago
But being without you is just too hard

So don't try to understand 'cause I don't think I even can
Why it's so deep and so true, the way I'm loving you

Once again I wonder, why I love you still?
Why I just can't let go of the past?




'Cause in my heart, I know that it was over long ago
But being without you is just too hard

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amity Dry's song Every Road describe the struggle of someone who is still deeply in love with a past lover, despite knowing that the relationship has ended and even though time has obscured the reasons why they ever broke up in the first place. The singer is stuck in limbo, waiting and hoping for a phone call from the missing lover while contemplating why they cannot let go of the past. They speak about the deep and strong love that they feel for their ex, ascribing it to a voice that continuously leads them back to the person they love, every time. They admit that the memories of the relationship are sugar-coated, making it difficult to discern the real reasons they parted ways. Nevertheless, the singer keeps on holding on and loving the ex-partner, knowing that being without them is just too hard.


The song is an emotional ballad that speaks to many people who have undergone a painful heartbreak and are struggling to move on. The lyrics are universal and powerful, and the melody complements the message perfectly. Amity's powerful vocals add to the already moving lyrics, bringing out the raw emotion in each word.
