The Road Home
The Road Home is not only a debut album, but a musical journal taking listeners on a journey through the life of lead singer and songwriter Konstantin Alexander. The album received its name from the title track, in addition to encapsulating the essence of this collection. “Song for Sisters” documents Konstantin’s childhood and “Promise Land” takes us through a very dark time in his life as he wrestles with thoughts of suicide which is fortunately met with hope. “Still Alive” takes us through his mind as he finds positivity while struggling with anxiety. “Long Dark Road” brings us through his toxic relationship and finding his way back to himself and to those who love him. During “Emotions” we get to experience the day he meets the love of his life and we are able to journey with both Krista and Konstantin all the way to their destination in “The Road Home”. A location Konstantin describes as a place of love, growth, gratitude, acceptance, friendship and of course the place where his beautiful family resides, Home.
The lead single, “Long Dark Road” began with an idea started by Konstantin’s long time childhood friend (since kindergarten) and co-writer, Ryan Joseph McKendall. During their year and a half process of recording this album “Emotions”, “Still Alive” & “The Road Home” were developed and written both by Konstantin and his production partner, Alexander James Rielgelman. “Song for Sisters” and “Promise Land” (written 21 years ago) were very heartfelt and intimate songs that Konstantin wrote alone during times of deep reflection.
Album: The Road Home is set to release May 19th 2023 and in the meantime Konstantin and his team are currently pressing 7” vinyl for the single “Long Dark Road”. The B-side to this vinyl will include an exclusive acoustic version of “Long Dark Road.” Keep your eyes out not only for the single but for the album “The Road Home” which will be available for pre-order February 19th 2023.
Song Lyrics

You think I’m screaming and dropping hate
But you don’t hear a word I say
In that head, that voice is too loud
And that head too big and that heart too proud
Your song is just wrong and you’ll find it out
It’s been a long dark road
And I’m coming home
I gotta rest my bones and I’m coming home
Lord rest my soul and I’m coming home
It’s been a long dark road and I’m coming home
You truly think that it’s only me
And the truth is only what you see
You will find that mess you made
When the wall comes down and the bullshit fades
Your song is just wrong and you’ll find it out
Your way is depraved and you’re lost in doubt
I don’t think you know what you say now
I don’t think you know who you are
I hope can escape your made up world but I going home
It’s been a long dark road
It’s been a long dark road
And I’m coming home
Lord rest my bones
Lord rest my soul
It’s been a long dark road
And I’m coming home
Got my good black shoes and my head on right
Gonna shake the feeling of last night
Turn it up for a night out on the town
There’s a girl in red throwing looks my way
Got a feeling that she’ll be my getaway
Hit the road cause we closed the party down
Got me sweating all day and all night
I’m not looking for devotion
Cant figure out what’s got my mind… because
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
Oooh, I feel it for you
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
I don’t want nobody else, I can’t deny myself
Hooked on your love after just one night
You’re like a drug that’s hittin’ just right
I’m floating above on a love high
How can this be after just one day
I’m losing the fight not to feel this way
Your flooding my mind maybe thats ok
Got me sweating all day and all night
and I’m through with fighting the notion
I figured out what’s got my mind… because
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
Oooh, I feel it for you
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
I don’t want nobody else, I can’t deny myself
Just put my heart to bed and I never wanna do this again
When real love comes along, don’t let it pass you by, or put up a fight,
take a chance on love, it could change your life
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
Oooh, I feel it for you
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
I don’t want nobody else, I can’t deny myself
Oooh, I’m feeling emotions
Oooh, I feel it for you
For you I’ve got the devotion
I dont want no body else and now I gotcha to myself
Hey my sisters
Let me come with you
If that’s ok
If that’s ok
As you play with one another
Please bring along your brotha
If that’s ok
If that’s ok
Let’s go outside and play
Pretend we can’t hear what they say
One day we’ll live our own lives
And we’ll never return to what’s inside
Hey my sisters
It’s part of the whole picture
And we’re ok
Yes, we’re ok
As they fight with one another
I know you’re right beside your brotha
And I’m ok
Yes, I’m ok
Lets go outside and play
Pretend we can’t hear what they say
One day we’ll live our own lives
And we’ll never return to what’s inside
Some might say that we lived a hard life
That we’ll never be friends
I would say that we learned it just in time
It was long before the end
But we’re in our time
And we turned out fine
Hey my sisters
I’m standing here with you
And we’re ok
Yes, we’re ok
Well I’d like to see what you’ve planned for me
But I’ve gotta run and get away, away from the world
It’s the end and goodbye, It was hard and I tried
But my time has come to get away, away from the world
So take my hand to the promise land
And do what you can with this broken man
I’ve begun to see those notes you’ve left for me which say to stay and wait, wait to hear word
Though I’m ready to go you seem to want me to know that I have a place, a place on top of the world
So take my hand to the promise land
And do what you can with this broken man
But I still don’t know what I’m looking for or which way I’ll go to find the road or when I will go
Never seen the road like this before I’m ready to run
Never seen the streets like this before it’s over and done
Now that I’ve reached my very end you bring my heart to rest
Never seen you like this before we’ll see whats to come
But I still don’t know what I’m looking for or which way I’ll go to find the road, with you I will go
Racing home up around the bend
Running from my nine to five
Panic blows by and runs a red
Now it’s hangin on for life
Nearly dug my grave in the road
Almost lost my way now I’m home
No matter where you’ve been
How many tears you cry
A new day breaks and you’re still alive
Rising up to the curtains drawn
Waves of light crashing in
Look to my right seems there’s something wrong
Now my mind’s spinning again
Nearly dug my grave in the road
Almost lost my way now I’m home
No matter where you’ve been
How many tears you cry
No matter what you’ve seen
Or how hard you try
A new day breaks and you’re still alive
All alone outside myself
To stop the thoughts from pouring in
Though it seems this never ends
It’s all just caught up in my head
No matter where you’ve been
How many tears you cry
No matter what you’ve seen
Or how hard you try
Hold on to what is real
And don’t believe the lie
A new day breaks and you’re still alive
Along the path where we first meet
The redbud grows so wild and free
It fills our night and shines a light to guide us home
The veil of fog then lifts away
This road we’re on comes clear as day
And in your eyes I see the skies that guide us home
Lets leave the past behind
And look ahead to what we’ll find
These winding roads we’ll pay no mind
We’re coming home
So take my hand come walk with me
Let’s watch this grow from seed to tree
Through hills we’ll climb, we’ll be alright on our road home
Lets the leave the past behind
And look ahead to what we’ll find
On that day
When we arrive
So here we stand in fields of green
With this new land beneath our feet
And now’s it’s time to build this life
in our new home
Cause now we’re home
We’re finally home
In our new home
