Liner Notes

#skirmish #chasingthelight #lifeasanopenroad
The object here is the open road and it's meant to symbolize life (as a one way trip).

Lyrics

CHASING THE LIGHT

In an old blue car
I drive alone
I've come so very far
On the open road

Always moving straight
I can never stop
Donโ€™t ever touch the brake
Iโ€™m living lost

Won't look to the left or look to the right
Iโ€™m heading out west, I keep chasing the light

In an endless race
I'm a fugitive
I keep on losing days
On this one way trip

Won't look to the left or look to the right
I'm heading out west, I keep chasing the light

Rear tire is flapping
My mirror is broke
But if I stop moving
Can't fill up with hope

Won't look to the left or look to the right
I'm heading out west, I keep chasing the light

Good song! I like the background sounds. Good lyrics. You may have a solid EP after this month, who knows? I would definitely recommend releasing this one.

Poignant lyrics. I feel the emotion on
Donโ€™t ever touch the brake.

Certainly my life has felt like the song at times. Broken down, gotta keep moving, chasing something that feels unreachable. Good job.

i like your style here. stripped down and slowed down rap, also elements of a calm moment in a poetry jam. your song has the feel of a road trip on an endless road, heading west,

Love how the ambient sound adds to the vibe of the song...racing down a lonely road in a vehicle as the background sound increases and eventually comes to a peak at the very end. I didn't realize until half way through that there's no harmony, not needed! Great job with this. It feels very cinematic as well.

Fugitive, race, bleak... These lyrics and the overall sound make this feel like a 'Twisted Metal' backstory. I really like it!
