Dust, steel, and a restless heart—Kord Raines takes us on a melancholic ride with his latest single, « The Gone Side ». This country gem, straight from his EP « First Shot », echoes like a heartfelt cry for all the dreamers chasing the open road. Over a bittersweet melody, Raines sings of golden days gone by and the inevitable pull toward an uncertain future. « I’m gonna drive till I see more than the wrong side »—a promise whispered along the train tracks, as the hazy, deserted town in the music video mirrors the loneliness of a soul on the move. With his cowboy hat tipped low and a guitar slung in the hands, Kord Raines isn’t just a singer—he’s a storyteller of the open road. And today, Slash Music is bringing him straight to you.
