On A Blue Highway

Think it's time for a road trip

https://youtu.be/8wVPDloFuXc?si=vYJ319KTLaLUriNa

From a pink and purple dawn

Miles away what I was thinking on

That straight lines lead to compromise

crooked roads are what I need to try


To see what I can find in these

atmospheric conditions

Out on a blue highway Heaven whispers


Too much time on a rocky track

Yeah I want to be guilty of that

Turned around lost and astray

Hope I’ll always be that way


Running on wet rocks 

in my traveling slippers

Out on a blue highway Heaven whispers


You’ll find roads

Way off of the Interstate

Your heart knows 

To take a right and recreate

A life that you once sold


From east to west my feet will feast

On ground that I have never seen

From sea to sea and then believe

The endlessness that lies in between


A simple life I seek

The way ahead delivers

Out on a blue highway Heaven whispers


Heaven whispers x 3

    You can really make that guitar dance, it's magical!

    Beautiful vocals, breathtaking.

    Reminds me so much of Crosby Stills and Nash.

    Could listen to that for hours, what a talent.

    Thanks ya'll, and on that note, I'm heading out on a road trip, back in a week or so

  • I do like this one! Very meaningful and a strong feeling connected.
    One little thing…possibly just me…but you play with colours here and you started right away with pink and purple, I’d have come up with a little colour in the first lines of it, in contrast to the blue highway. But yeah that’s possible just me.
    Nevertheless it’s a very good one!

  • Interesting comment RK. The genesis of the song was a sunrise. My bedroom faces east and one morning there was gorgeous pink and purple sunrise...the song just wrote itself from there. Originally I called it Heaven Whispers, but like Blue Highway better. I love being out on the road...heading there right now.

    Yep, I think the images in the video actually match up perfectly with what I would’ve envisioned even without seeing it. It’s definitely got that wide open, driving out in the desert feel. That comes from the lyrics, but also from your voice and the guitar playing. Really sets the mood 🙂 It’s pretty cool that it was basically just inspired from a sunrise too. Nature can be an amazing source of inspiration for sure.
  • This was really well done man. Loved the lyrical magic about the road you infused using colors. It set it off and your voice made it more desirable to be on the road. Again you have a great style on the guitar which is the heartbeat of this song. Loved it and enjoy the road trip.
