Alba Rose’s The Long Road: A Jazz-Kissed Journey Through Life’s Fog

From the dawn-lit shores of Auckland, 24-year-old Alba Rose (whose Spanish-derived name poetically nods to daybreak) crafted The Long Road – the kind of song that wraps around your shoulders like that perfectly worn cardigan you reach for when life gets messy.

Released as the lead single from her upcoming EP First Light, this track doesn’t just walk the line between indie-soul and jazz; it dances along it with surprising grace.

The retro-soulful instrumentals paired with her hypnotic voice transforms personal uncertainty into a captivating anthem.

Especially with the intricate rhythm section flow beneath edgy guitar riffs that dance playfully with soft piano melodies.

The magic sparked in Spain, where post-breakup wandering through her ancestral village sparked an unexpected epiphany.

Streets steeped in family history became the perfect backdrop for questioning everything – and somehow finding answers in the uncertainty.

Alba’s The Long Road feels like a musical fog light for twenty-somethings stumbling through their existential mazes.

It’s remarkable how Rose turns uncertainty into something so inviting.

The Long Road feels less like a song about being lost and more like an invitation to get lost together – preferably with good jazz and better company.

Alba Rose The Long Road Lyrics

We got a long way to go
A long way to go 

Verse 1
Piecing the puzzle 
The space between the lines
Holding each other 
Repeat and redefine
I see it in your eyes 
I can see it in your smile 
Loves always the answer 
I’m missing my best friend 
Were walking together 
While we understand
The way we move the world
When its so hard to find 

Cause we got a long way to go 
A long way to go 

Chorus
You and I together 
We’ve fallen from the same branch 
Open up the answers 
The truth is knowing that 
We got a long way to go 
A long way to go 
But I see the road 
Pero veo el camino 
El camino 

Whisper ‘I want to make sense of it all, I want to know, want to know’

V2
I want to be wiser 
Don’t want to grow older 
To be or to say 
Its pulling me back as I push it away 
When the dreaming feels honest 
It’ll hold out its hands and give it a name 
The practice the patience the promise the romance the words 
All saying the same 

CH2
Cause you and I together 
We’ve fallen from the same branch 
Open up the answers 
The truth is knowing that 
We got a long way to go 
A long way to go 
But I see the road 
Pero veo el camino 
El camino 

long way to go 
A long way to go 
If you want to make sense of it all 
Make sense of this world 
We got a long way to go 
A long long way to go 
But I see the road 
Pero veo el camino 
Pero veo el camino 

I want to make sense
Want to make sense of it all 

Dame el camino el camino 
Pero veo el camino
