about

Another inspirational track to balance some of the deeper themes with the lighter ones. Saved for the last song, I was going for EPIC with an acoustic.

This is one of the few songs to have an electric guitar in the chorus and the bridge parts. I resisted the urge to solo on electric. I liked the bare bones character of a straight acoustic solo... especially after a heavy bit of riffing.

There is an obvious "radio" effect used on the vocals of each verse. I liked how it made them sound a bit cosmic... like they are from another dimension.

This song is about how we all have fought through an incredible amount of impossible to be exactly who we are in this moment. And no matter what we may think we know, there is always a lot more to learn... especially from the mistakes we make along the way. Funny how we never really know when we have achieved redemption. We just constantly strive for it until our time is up.

lyrics

REDEMPTION ROAD
(Roush)

I have walked
Through the valley of shadows
I fear not
I have fought
Through the perilous seasons
To be heard
I have burned both ends of the candle
Held more than I can handle

Just to be here with you

Down Redemption Road
The only road I know
On my own
Redemption Road

I have flown
On the wings of an angel
Through the air
I have sailed
Over oceans of turmoil
To prevail
I have faced the darkest of days
Made my way through the rain

Just to say this to you

Down Redemption Road
The only road I know
We'll have to walk alone
So find your own...

Direction
Contrition
Salvation
Down
Redemption Road

I have crossed through improbable starlight
To be born
I have fought through the chaos and cosmos

Now I sing this for you

Down Redemption Road
It's the only way I know
But we have to walk alone
Such a long way to go
To save our souls
And find our own...
Redemption
