about

"Different roads" was one of the early Indigo songs, in fact it was kind of a "hit" among fans. It must have been written in 2001/2002. It's definitely one of the poppiest rock songs I have ever written. It talks about saying goodbye and was inspired by the departure of a friend.

I wish I had better equipment and could achieve a good bass sound. But alas, this is all I could do, especially now that my amp modeler is broken. But you get the idea of what it was supposed to sound like.

lyrics

- Different roads -

So, another sad scene through glasses of green,
one more goodbye.
A point we've all been before, a fate so unsure
and the big desperate "why?".
When the world calls
we must heed the harsh tone of time.
Tear down these old, familiar walls
and find your path apart from mine.

Grey, familiar clouds cast shadows and doubts
as you start to reflect:
Although we do our best, birds leaving the nest
don't always come back.
When the world calls
there's sweet potential despite threat.
But when the final curtain falls
it's the taste of stale regret.

Chorus:
But today we're going separate ways.
Right now it doesn't seem to make sense.
There are different roads that we all must take,
and they may cross again.

The self-evident past is precious at last
like a treasure we keep.
The presence may fade, but memories stay
and uncertainty.
When the world calls
something is always left behind.
Venture today, the might haul
is a new chapter in time.

Chorus:

Bridge:
It's a life-sized truth, it's more than rhyme,
it's no crime to cry.
Changes hurt but signify the essence of life.
Don't ask why, I would lie if I tried to tell you
"everything will be just fine".

Chorus:
