ON THE WAY HOME

Story Behind The Song

I was in an automobile accident on a freeway, clipped from behind which made me spin several times and slam sideways into a guard rail.....which had me leaning half over the guard rail looking down at the street that ran under the freeway. The calm and peacefulness that came over me, thinking that I was going over the railing and crashing down on the street (where your entire life runs through your mind in a split second)....was life changing. I realized that I was o.k. with whatever happened.....all was well.....I was grateful, and content.

Song Description

After the accident that I spoke of in "Story Behind The Song" above, I found myself at home....sitting at the piano with no thoughts or pre-conseved ideas running through my head....and this piece just came through me. These are chords and inversions I don't normally use, and besides adding the orchestration at a later date, the song was written in 10 minutes.

Song Length 2:06 Genre Unique - Soundtracks, New Age - General
Tempo Very Slow (Under 70) Lead Vocal Instrumental
Mood Peaceful, Serene Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Instrumental

I really love this piece as well. It had a lot of very nice emotion. There were spots I expected you to go to a typical chord change and you surprised me with a really neat change. I am HIGHLY impressed with this piece
