RESTLESS ROAD - Done It By Now - Independent Release

As 2024 draws to a close, the guys of Restless Road are releasing a long-anticipated new tune, one that will propel them back into the mainstream forefront.  “Done It By Now” is available now, both digitally and on all streaming platforms.

Written by Zach Abend, James McNair and Emily Weisband, the relatable new track serves as the first release from the award-winning trio since their 2023 debut album, ‘Last Rodeo’.

Exploring the emotional turmoil induced by a breakup, the song conveys thoughts and feelings associated with the heartbreak of a relationship’s ending while illustrating the challenge of moving forward with one’s life while being stuck in the past.

“We’re so excited to finally share this new song with everyone,” the band said.  “This song was something we knew we had to record from the moment we heard it.  Everyone has had an experience of wishing to find a way to move on from an old love and get rid of the hard memories that come with goodbyes.  We hope our listeners resonate with the idea that if it was easy, ‘we would have done it by now.’”

One of the elements of country music that we all love is its ability to resonate with people and relate to real life.  While songs of jubilancy and joy certainly have their place, that’s not always the reality of our lives.  And for those difficult times we will all inevitably (and unfortunately) face, we need musical motivators to remind us that we are not alone in these feelings.   

“If I could stop calling you, I could stop wanting you

Get your ghost out of my house

If I could just numb the pain

Wake up and forget your name

I could let your memory die out

No, it ain’t for lack of trying

Oh, it turns out your goodbye

Ain’t something I can drown

In a hundred proof, I don’t know what to do

If I could stop loving you

Hell I would have done it by now”

Once again, Restless Road delivers on all elements of a high-quality country song.  The lyrics are straightforward, down to earth, and relatable, and their vocal harmonies and pitches are incredibly tasteful and seemingly effortless.

Matching top-notch tunes infused with irresistible melodies and virtually unmatched vocal harmonies along with undeniable stage presence, Restless Road gains more fans every time they step onto the stage.  Following an extensive run across the United States this year on a headlining trek as well as dates with Tim McGraw, Cole Swindell and Brett Young, the country powerhouse group are taking the final leg of their Last Rodeo Tour to the UK and Europe before the end of 2024.
