    Dave Houston's first solo album. The Beginning is at the End (2016) is a mellowed treatment of themes dear to Houston's heart. It swerves like an old Holden across the desert, careering from the angst of the travelling songwriter to the troubles of our dear heaving continent. Aboard nine tracks of folked-up psyche rock we’re given the digestible banquet of a travelling bard’s global misgivings.

about

This is a song reflecting on Homers 'Iiliad' It's about men, marriage, war, divorce, family court, custody battles & pride.

lyrics

I hear they lost fathers and sons
in the great world wars
There’s no front line anymore
But we’re still loosing men

Missing in action or ya missing yourself
So you won this battle but you’ve lost this war
You coming home? You coming home at all?
There’s a house for sale
And a home for sale in my heart

So grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
For love

He’d rather be fighting her
than fighting himself inside
She’d rather be fighting him
This chance to win to save this pride

The battle for custody
A pawn or a weapon gained
Call me your kid and I will call you my dad
Any other day it’s just not father’s day

So grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
For love

She’d rather be fighting him
than fighting herself inside
He’d rather be fighting her
This chance to win to save this pride

Missing in action or ya missing yourself
So you won this battle but you lost this war
You coming home? You coming home at all?
There’s a house for sale
And a home for sale in my heart

So grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
grit your teeth and bear this load
Walk on down that Trojan road
For love
