Tail Lights by The Northbound: No Looking Back

Tail Lights by The Northbound—written in the valley below Mount Baker, tape hiss left on, no looking back.

“Tail Lights” was written in the valley below Mount Baker. “No looking back / No rearview prayer / Just tail lights fading into the night air.”

One take after midnight

The engineer left the tape hiss on. “Said it sounded like rain.”

Wet asphalt singing

Under tired wheels, some things you leave without knowing how it feels.
