Boston singer-songwriter and pop artist Seamus Fox, releases his debut single, "Road of Life", on November 19, 2021. The song is a chill indie pop song that opens up your eyes to seeing the world in new directions with open roads ready to be traveled. The song helps provide the mindset you can open up your eyes and see beyond the road blocks, dead-ends, and stop signs, and follow the open road. "Don't reverse, just step on the gas" and keep moving forward and see the open roads all over the map. The songs aligns well with the "smell the roses" idiom that means to relax; to take time out of one's busy schedule to enjoy or appreciate the beauty of life, as you need to take it all in and "open up your eyes to see all you pass".
The song's lyrics do a brilliant job to create a positive pathway to explore the world in new positive directions and to not hold back. It is universally applicable to everyone who strives to find a better route. With all the speed, turns and treachery we can encounter, the song helps plant the seeds needed for future roads filled with promise and opportunity to find precarious paths that defy the roads and scale the mountains.
ROAD OF LIFE
Stop signs all over
Look beyond the pause
See the roads all around
To bypass all the blocks
Driving fast is a rush
Make your way at right speed
Open up your eyes
And see all that you pass
Passing through the dead ends
Chasing all lights
You'll find your way
Don't hold back
Don't reverse
Just step on the gas
It's an open road
It's the road of life
The road of life
Move in new directions
There are no dead ends
Open up your eyes
To the road of life you will find
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Move around
Don't stand with no sound
Explore the world
All roads out of sight
Passing through the dead ends
Chasing all lights
You'll find your way
Don't hold back
Don't reverse just step on the gas
It's an open road
Its the road of life
Think you're going somewhere
Find the bright lights just see them there
Let it all shine
And feel the glare
It's an open road
It's the road of life
The road of life
Always a way out
Another place to go
The song patiently maneuvers through the challenges the road of life can bring and the instrumental arrangement beautifully aligns with the song's dynamics with keys, strings and oboe creating the open vision of life's journey with a relaxed mood throughout. Seamus's calming smooth tone invites you to stay listening and wanting to hear it all. The added speeding car sounds and effects help lock in the road trip's realism.
