Close your eyes what do you see It could be yours you know So take my hand and come with me You could find yourself in the chateau Where they'll all crowd round to welcome you To the madness of the show Devotion to the silver screen A canyon bathed in light The edge in sight We could be in California We could be in Californian sun We could be in California We could be right where we belong Tell me now just what you see And what they’ve let you know You’re living in their fantasy And they're never gonna let you go Where they'll all crowd round to welcome you To the madness of the show Devotion to the silver screen A canyon bathed in light The edge in sight We could be in California We could be in Californian sun We could be in California We could be right where we belong It's waiting for us The sea and the coast Waiting for us A sanctuary Where nothing is real Or so I’ve been told But what do they know? We could all be lost in California Lost in California Lost in California Lost We could be in California We could be in California We could be in California We could stay for a while and forget where we’re from

The day crept in on riverboats Through coloured rags and scented trees At the foot of marbled mountains Where I woke as from a dream In city streets among the prophets To trade a winter sanctuary A jaded traveler filled his pockets But couldn’t buy his company So in silver and gold We’ll pave a path that leads us home With all that’s been and all to come Returning to the sun Then the morning caught him drifting Left so strung out on Carnaby Stretched to meet an old acquaintance Decades lost so easily The lines the pusher offered The forced exchange of pleasantries They found me wandering in the last light The weight of time at my heels So in silver and gold We’ll pave a path that leads us home With all that’s been and all to come Returning to the sun So in silver and gold We’ll pave a path that leads us home With all that’s been and all that’s gone Returning to the sun

about

Regent are excited to share not one but two new singles; ‘Lost in California’ and ‘Returning to the Sun’.

“With these new tracks we really wanted to strip our sound back to the essentials, and focus on a direct approach to songwriting - one that emphasises melody and musicality.” The band explains. “After our first record, which was this big, conceptual piece, it just felt right to limit our palette and make sure each individual track stood alone both sonically and lyrically.”

Formed in 2015 by childhood friends Martin Collins and Jonathan Youdale, Regent are a psychedelic rock band hailing from the north of England. Inspired by the music of the 60s and 70s, the duo back their dual guitars with a rotating cast of session players. The band released their debut album ‘Illusions’ in 2016.
