Musician and composer Tom Perrett set out to create music purely to taste which led to Ruadh's existence, the name translates to "red". Tom was born and raised in one of the oldest Burghs in Scotland which translates to "The red glen"
The derivation of the name of the town is unclear but one theory is that the area was once a settlement of Reuther, an ancient king of the Scots, who ruled between 213 and 187 BC.
After signing a worldwide deal with respected German label Northern Silence Productions, the debut album “Sovereign” is due to be released physically and digitally on 12.04.19.
Where I Belong
Ruadh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a symphony of natures rage
To the chorus of the winds that howl
Like the wolves in the hills
This land is cold, Bitter and dead
The trees are barren
As the season brings
Winters chill
I see Mountains etched into earth
This land shows it's strength awaiting it's rebirth
When spring brings life to us all
And the waters are calm, once again
And When the land is fertile and the days are long
And the warmth of the sun embraces my skin
I know this is where I belong
Ruadh's song "Where I Belong" portrays the deep connection between man and nature. The opening lines, "As the rain pounds the ground like a symphony of nature's rage," paint a picture of the sheer power of nature. The scene is further heightened by the reference to wolves howling in the hills, creating a sense of fear and uncertainty.
The following lines mention the lifeless nature of the land, with barren trees and bitter coldness, conveying a sense of isolation and loneliness. However, the singer's connection to nature is evident from the line "I sleep under a blanket of stars," highlighting the comfort and solace derived from nature.

As the rain pounds the ground
The rain falls heavily on the earth
Like a symphony of natures rage
The sound of the rain is like a powerful symphony
To the chorus of the winds that howl
The winds are making a chorus-like sound as they howl
Like the wolves in the hills
The sound of the wind is reminiscent of the howling of wolves in the nearby hills
This land is cold, Bitter and dead
The land is frigid and lifeless
The trees are barren
The trees have no leaves or fruit
As the season brings
The changing of the seasons occurs
Winters chill
The cold of winter has set in
I sleep under a blanket of stars
The artist sleeps outside under the stars
I see Mountains etched into earth
The artist can see the mountains in the distance and they appear to be carved into the earth
This land shows it's strength awaiting it's rebirth
The land is powerful, and it looks like it's waiting to be reborn and revitalized
When spring brings life to us all
When spring arrives, it will bring new life to everything
And the waters are calm, once again
The water will be still and peaceful like it once was
And When the land is fertile and the days are long
When the land becomes fertile again and the days are long and bright
And the warmth of the sun embraces my skin
The sun will feel warm and inviting on the singer's skin
I know this is where I belong
The artist feels a sense of belonging in this place
