There
are times that I want to get as far away from life as possible. I
don't need a permanent escape, just some distance to get space and
perspective. I love to drive. To me the open road is freedom so when
I need a break I get in my car and just drive till my head feels
clearer. This can take minutes or days. This song by Dan Mangan
became part of my “life soundtrack” about a year ago when I first
saw this music video. I loved the art and the message of the song. To
me I hear it and I am reminded of the journey we take in life. The
journey to “drive until the gas is gone”, “find Dodge and then
get out of it”, learn that “escape is not the only way to
escape,” know that “you're not living till you're living it and
that we can get used to our road regrets.
