Yacht Rock 1970s | "Sunrise Highway" - Driving Dreams

Описание: The world is quiet at 4 AM, and the only company you need is the hum of the engine and the promise of a new day. Roll down the window, let the cool salt air rush in, and drive until the night turns into gold.

🎶 About This Song: "Sunrise Highway" is a brand new original composition that acts as a time machine to the golden era of West Coast AOR. Anchored by the warm, bell-like tones of a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a tight, dry drum groove, this track evokes images of chrome bumpers reflecting the morning sun. The arrangement builds into a soaring chorus rich with multi-layered vocal harmonies, while a smooth saxophone solo adds a touch of sophisticated romance—a tribute to the polished sound that ruled the FM airwaves in the late 1970s.

🎙️ LYRICS:

The dash is glowing in a pale shade of blue Leaving the city and the ghost of you Four in the morning with the windows rolled down I'm twenty miles north of that neon town The engine’s humming a familiar song About the places where we used to belong Warm coffee steam in a paper cup Watching the sunrise needle climbing up

Oh, on the Sunrise Highway Chasing down the silver line Leave the shadows in the rearview mirror Leave the wintertime behind It’s a long-distance feeling, baby Underneath a velvet sky Just the rhythm of the road and me Watching the world go by

I see the shoreline through the morning haze Lost in the shimmer of those champagne days Teakwood glow and the salt in the air Like a marina dream in my midnight stare I reach for a tape in the glove box tray Letting the melody wash the worries away No more directions, no more hands to hold Just a heart full of silver and a sky full of gold

Oh, on the Sunrise Highway Chasing down the silver line Leave the shadows in the rearview mirror Leave the wintertime behind It’s a long-distance feeling, baby Underneath a velvet sky Just the rhythm of the road and me Watching the world go by

Sometimes you have to drive until the stars go out To hear what the quiet is singing about The road is a ribbon, the wind is a friend Every beginning starts at an end Yeah, every beginning starts at an end...

The light is hitting the chrome on the side It’s a beautiful morning for a long, slow ride I see the surfers out on Zuma Beach Like a postcard promise within my reach The air is salt and the mood is right I finally made it through the longest night

There’s a soft-top Jaguar in the passing lane No one is aching and there’s no more rain I’m pulling over just to taste the view Thinking how the world turns shiny and new One more mile to the canyon floor I don’t have to look back anymore

Oh, on the Sunrise Highway Chasing down the silver line Leave the shadows in the rearview mirror Leave the wintertime behind It’s a long-distance feeling, baby Underneath a velvet sky Just the rhythm of the road and me Watching the world go by

Driving into the light... Yeah, it’s a beautiful morning...
