    ‘Silver Linings’, released in April 2021, was embellished by a number of guest musicians and featured a fresh reworking of a few of Al Shalliker's older songs but is mostly made up of previously unreleased newer material. Influenced by the classic songwriters yet highly original, ‘Silver Linings’ is a powerful representation of Al’s inimitable style, made relevant for a new audience.

about

‘The Voyage’ is the second single from Al Shalliker’s 2021 debut solo album, ‘Silver Linings’. An infectious alt-folk song with an evocative, modern narrative, ‘The Voyage’ relates to some of the difficulties we encounter as we journey through life.

lyrics

Always reaching out for love, across a great divide
Lovers we can lose ourselves, inside the mists of time
To stumble for 1000 miles then finally lead astray
You asked me was I drinking, I said yes, my life away

But I’m in heaven when you smile
I’m in heaven when you smile

I want to dance upon the sand, with both hands waving free
The moon could light a silver path from twisted memory
Silhouetted by our lives, upon a sea of fate
I always meant to be on time, but now it feels too late

But I’m in heaven when you smile
I’m in heaven when you smile

Take a voyage for your love
Take a trip on a diamond ship and sail it to the stars above
I know that you’ll appear
Keep sailing through my years

I have lain alone at night, haunted by my dreams
A pillow full of promises, bursting at the seams
With all the scenes from this affair, my head it could explode
Please don’t think that I don’t care, I walk a rocky road

But I’m in heaven when you smile
I’m in heaven when you smile
I’m in heaven when you smile
I’m in heaven when you smile
