From the recording Been to the Edge
All music and lyrics written by and created by Scott EG. Thank you to Thomas Smith and Joe Land for showing me how to crack the code on writing, recording, and producing the vision in my mind! Thank you Cheryl for being patient with me while this all played out. 2025 was a crazy year. I lost a close friend in January. My biological father (Thomas Smith) dies in July, and a client, who i respected to the highest level dies way too early in August. Echoes came together in all of that. This one is dedicated to Larry Gales and Thomas Smith.
Lyrics
Backstreet sparks lit the dark back then
Every shout was a prayer every chord a sin
Broken bottles headlights shine
We swore the world was ours til the end of time
But life oh life
It cuts and it carves
It bends and it breaks
But it fuels who we are
Echoes through the neon night
Still chasing the burning lights
It aint what I planned no
Never the road I thought Id ride
But it feels alive
Cassette dreams spinning, ghosts in the air
The crowd was electric I was already there
Wild hearts running no end in sight
Every mile we drove was a battle cry
But life oh life
It steals it scars
It tests it tears
But it makes us who we are
Echoes through the neon night
Still chasing the burning lights
It aint what I planned no
Never the road I thought Id ride
But it feels alive
And when you close your eyes the nights still true
Just know I close mine too I’m right there with you
In the echoes burning in the neon night
I find solace knowing you’re dreaming it too
Echoes through the neon night
Still chasing the burning lights
It aint what I planned no
Never the road I thought Id ride
But it feels alive
