This edition of Acoustic BOPS captures the spirit of home, heart, and hope. Glasgow’s Not Far by Luke Porter is a reminder that distance fades when the song feels close.
Luke Porter – Glasgow’s Not Far
Heartfelt, open, and full of warmth, Luke Porter writes like he’s talking straight to you
Glasgow’s Not Far unfolds with the easy intimacy of a late-night drive. Built on tender acoustic textures and Luke Porter’s honest, melodic vocal, the track balances raw storytelling with quiet anthemic energy. Backed by Blaine Harrison of Mystery Jets and recorded by Kris Evans, it shimmers with lived emotion – rooted in British indie warmth but carried by timeless songwriting. Porter’s delivery is unforced and true, his words sketching scenes of longing, belonging, and connection. Having supported indie heroes like Twisted Wheel and received BBC Introducing airplay, Luke is carving his own lane in the UK’s singer-songwriter scene. This song proves why – it’s not just about place, but about feeling like you’ve found your way back.
