My Highland Adventure

My Highland Adventure
Tour of Scotland featured in new film by Sheila Busteed

In August, after I finished my teaching contract in Morocco, I spent a few days in Scotland on my way back to Canada to visit family. My short stay started with an evening in Edinburgh that led to a reunion with an old friend. I'd met Alex Wayt when I was touring Scotland in 2009, so I was thrilled to learn that his band The Lockhearts was performing at Whistle Binkies Live Music Bar that night. Those guys put on a great show, so it was a fantastic way to start a month of vacation time! The next day, I headed to Paisley and stayed at my friend Kenny Turner's B&B, the Dryesdale Airport Guesthouse. I also got the chance to spend some time with my cousin Meredith, who was finishing her Master's degree in Glasgow at the time.

Since this was my second visit to Scotland, I chose to explore a part of the country I hadn't seen when I was last there. However, deciding to do the stopover was a last-minute decision, so I relied on a local tour company to make my adventure possible. The result was a truly wonderful day in Scotland's Western Highlands. Here's the video I made of the day trip with Discover Scotland Tours:

Say hello to "Goodbye"

Say hello to "Goodbye"
Songwriting partnership yields second single

Sheila Busteed's collaboration with Munich-based musician Eugene Vishnevski continues as the duo announce the release of their second single, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye" is a badass anthem about life in the music scene, with all its highs and lows. Featuring music by Eugene Vishnevski and lyrics by Sheila Busteed, this song proves that rock 'n' roll isn't dead. Listen to it here!
This track was a long time coming, but its release was delayed because both of the creators were dealing with the stress of moving to another country in recent months. Now that Eugene is settled in Germany and Sheila in Spain, we can expect more songs to go from the studio to the radio in the near future.

Here are the lyrics Sheila wrote for "Goodbye":

Our safe and small-town life
Is so nice, but not for me.
I want so much more danger
There's a need for action inside of me.
 
I want the front-row girls
To fall in love with me.
This beast can't be held in
So set me free, I say…
 
(chorus:)
Goodbye mother
Goodbye father
Goodbye 'cause your son's growing older
It's my time to fly
This life's for me now.
I'm never turning back.
 
These pills give me nightmares
But they set the music free,
And fake friends are all around me.
Battered soul but still happy
 
Each night, I get to unleash
The demon inside me.
This fire can't be held in.
Let's set it free, I said…
 
(repeat chorus)
