about

This song is about sightseeing. About appreciating a beautiful view. About taking a road trip or going on tour and seeing the sun shine beautifully over a field that it wouldn't normally be like on another day that may be rainy or overcast. The weather is different every day and if you happen to see that sight at that time, you better be prepared to remember that moment if you didn't bring a camera to take a picture of it.

lyrics

There’s miles and miles and miles of land out there
And we’re takin the backroads
To see what the others don’t see
To feast our eyes on the open country
To just look back / To just let go
Where we don’t know

Ever rolling hills
Trees thick of green, green forest
The rushing waters of our rivers and lakes
Beaches of sand and larger rock
Open land and mountains snow high
Deep, deep valleys / Dark, dark caves
Where echoes sound like they last for days

Every time I pass by a place like this, I wanna stop and take a picture
And capture the moment where it lasts
We may never see this again

Open landscape as far as the eye can see
An orange sunset above the ocean and its calm rustling waves
The scenery poses for photography
as it changes by the minute
day by day with the weather
A spectacle of nature on its own time
The colour of the sky when it rains on an open field
A lonely old wooden bridge that still crosses the river
A silhouette of seven trees and its reflection on the water

Every time I pass by a place like this, I wanna stop and take a picture
And capture the moment where it lasts
We may never see this again
Scenery poses for photography if we can find it
The world’s performing live for us
And we’ll be around to hear its sound
