DUFF McKAGAN, Bassist von Guns N` Roses, plant für den 20. Oktober die Veröffentlichung seiner dritten Soloscheibe “Lighthouse“ , die auf seinem 2019 gegründeten eigenen Label, in fast allen erdenklichen Varianten erscheinen soll. Er selbst übernimmt darauf natürlich nicht nur den Basspart, sondern auch die Vocals sowie die Gitarrenarbeit.
Als Appetitmacher hat DUFF McKAGAN jetzt das Video zur eingängig rockenden Single `Longfeather` als Video hochgeladen.
DUFF schreibt über das Album:
„The crashing….the cresting waves, the falling through of all that surrounds you. Life sometimes tosses us around, and we feel the want of comfort and the pull of home. A ship tossed like a toy through the Cape, sails ripped and the wood groaning with the scraping of its ballast….a soul trying with all its might to find peace and a center. Find a lighthouse. I have my lighthouse….its beacon swirling in the darkness with her warmth and promise of nurture, love, laughter, and all that is true. Won’t you be my lighthouse, give me light,…and bring me home.“

Lyrics:
Oh how the West was won
With poison pills and Tommy guns
The colonel’s fate was dead and done
On the trail for Longfeather
The profiteers and philistines
So overwhelmed with their destiny
From sea to shining sea, Longfeather
Oh Longfeather is home, he chased the stars and fought to the end, and held on, held on
They demonized and pushed him to the desert
And oh Longfeather is gone, we hear you now my friend
So hold on, hold on, cause today’s not a bad day to die
Longfeather is gone….
Born of the hills and endless plains
Before the lies dried on the page
They hunt you down again and again
Longfeather
Led them through the driving rain
Battle scared and battle maimed
Gather up, hey, follow me, forever
Oh Longfeather is home, he chased the stars and he fought to the end and held, held on
They demonized and pushed him to the desert
And Oh, Longfeather is gone….
We hear your song my friend
So hold on, hold on, cause today’s not a bad day to die
Longfeather, Longfeather is gone
They cut you down with a bayonet, o
We see you rise when the sun is settin‘
O, your ways, will carry on
They’ll never know your final resting place
The signs all point to their best guess, off some hidden roads
Longfeather is gone
Longfeather is gone
Longfeather is gone
