1. Atmospheric sludge/post-metal from Bristol, England, UK
Bandcamp
2. From Buffalo, New York, they were previously known as The Mellow Brick Rode, who released one 45 in 1968 - Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket / Other Side Of This Life (United Artists UA 50333).
On their 1970 LP they come across as a club/covers band with occasional Vanilla Fudge mannerisms in their heavyish treatments. They tackle the Zombies' She's Not There (one of their better offerings and a minor hit), Buffalo Springfield's Mr.Soul and Rock'n'Roll Woman (credit points for good taste if not the results), Sly Stone's Dance To The Music, Love-itis (tough R&B pop also done by The Sonics). Despite occasional heavy or fuzz guitar noises it's a patchy album - on the down side they deliver a funky brassed-up version of garageband fave I Can Only Give You Everything and an uptempo lounge-style Taste Of Honey.

Leaving
The Road Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silently speaking my wish to be free
Turning my world inside out
Spin my emotions building my doubt
I fed on this strangeness plain and true
But there was nothing beneathe it i knew
I see myself falling falling from grace
I'm tired of waiting here for you
Can't waste my time, i'm leaving you
I'm watching me make a fool of myself
Silently speaking my wish to be free
Turning my world inside out
Spin my emotions building my doubt
And now that you've taken the world out of me
I'm left with my body hanging free
As lovers come and comfort me
I'm still left with my misery
I'm tired of waiting here fo you
Can't waste my time, i'm leaving you
I'm leaving you…
The lyrics to The Road's song Leaving seem to revolve around the concept of freeing oneself from a toxic situation. The first few lines suggest that the singer is aware of their own foolishness and is silently yearning to be free. They feel as if their emotions are in turmoil, and this is leading to doubt and uncertainty.
There's a sense that the singer has been feeding on something that is strange and unfamiliar, but ultimately, it's devoid of anything real. There's nothing beneath this newfound strangeness that they can hold onto. As a result, the singer feels themselves falling from grace, their life slowly fading away without a trace.
The second verse suggests that the singer has been impatiently waiting for someone or something, but they've now reached the end of their tether. They can't afford to waste any more time and are leaving this situation behind. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the singer's determination to break free.
The last few lines suggest that the singer has finally managed to separate themselves from this toxic situation. They're finally free, but there's a sense of misery that lingers with them. Despite having found new lovers who offer comfort, the singer is still haunted by the remnants of their past.
Overall, the lyrics to Leaving showcase the struggles of someone who has reached their breaking point and is desperately trying to move on from a difficult situation. It speaks to the universal experience of wanting to break free from something that has been holding us back and hindering our progress.
