about

The chunky guitars and singalong chorus in 'Blue Skies' serve as reminders of how fun guitar music can be. The scene painted of a road trip gone wrong reminds us of the promise that good things are on the horizon. Featuring a chorus of friends from across the country, 'Blue Skies' speaks to the road you walked to get here, and the hope for what comes next. Written for baby Violet.

lyrics

This place looked so nice on paper and photographs
You threw your stuff in the car and stuck to the map
But you lost that drive and ran out of gas
Now you’re stuck on the roadside, can’t go back

Most days you don’t believe it
But raise your eyes you’ll see the

Blue skies up ahead
The grass is deep green
Redwoods and violets
There is beauty where you’re looking for it, oh
So breathe deep, then you let go

Watching strangers speed by from the sidelines
No care in the world, having a good time
You get to moving on foot, but in your mind
Your thoughts are trash in the wind, caught in the power lines

Most days you don’t believe it
But raise your eyes you’ll see the

Blue skies up ahead
The grass is deep green
Redwoods and violets
There is beauty where you’re looking for it, oh
So breathe deep, then you let go

Go your own way
Love the journey

There might be
Gray skies overhead
It feels like days now that it’s been raining
This road is tough but you’re not done yet
So get yourself up off the pavement

Blue skies up ahead
The grass is deep green
Redwoods and violets
There is beauty where you’re looking for it, oh
So breathe deep, then you let go

Blue skies up ahead
The grass is deep green
Redwoods and violets
There is beauty where you’re looking for it, oh
So breathe deep, then you let go
Breathe deep, then you let go
Then you let go
