Road Hai Movie Song Download
Annice Hemmerling
Like pretty much every rock album released in the 21st century, the album as a collected piece of curated music has been destroyed by the download and the shuffle function on MP3 players and the idea that a bunch of musicians can record some songs and think carefully about the order for the intended listener is truly old-fashioned. No singles hit the charts from Modern Blues and despite a round of interviews on big radio stations the album was forgotten pretty soon after it was released. For most bands who have been going for a long time but keep releasing albums this would have been the end of the story until the next album. Not this time.
Originally the song was called A Wild Holy Band but by the time he got to recording it five-years later in Nashville it was massaged and pushed into shape by the brilliant musicianship of the artists Scott got to play on the album. Each brought something to the party and took the song above anything Scott could have imagined on his own. They recorded pretty much live and as such it screams of the sheer exuberance of playing a great song with a great bunch of musicians.
Tim Burgess included Modern Blues in one of his Twitter listening parties in 2021, probably on the strength of this song and as more and more people hear it it takes on a life of its own outside the scope of the fans of a Scottish rock band and through to people who you think they might have heard of Waterboys but it might also be Del Amitri.
Long, Strange Golden Road, like no other song I know makes you want to sing and cheer and weep and laugh at its sheer genius. It makes you want to pick up your knapsack and trudge the paths of a mythical Albion having adventures with wonderful people in gorgeous clothes. It makes you appreciate that despite the modern age we live in of young people making croaky-voiced, slowed up versions of great songs in the past, the great rock stars can still do it if they stay true to themselves and listen to their muse.
"The Road Song" is a song sung by SpongeBob, Patrick, Margaret, and Harold in the episode "A SquarePants Family Vacation." They sing this song in their car. Another variation of this song is "Above the Road."
Rockstar always chooses its music carefully, and so the first few notes of GTA 6's reveal trailer were telling. It's a series that loves a needle drop, and while we only get a few bars to speculate upon, those fiery twangs could be very important. They belong to Tom Petty and his song Love Is a Long Road, the lead off single from his 1989 album Full Moon Fever. But what do they tell us about GTA 6, and the story of its heroes Lucia and Jason?
In some ways, it's an odd choice. GTA 6 heading back to Vice City immediately begs the comparison to our first foray to the Miami-inspired hub. With GTA 6 coming 23 years later, it's obviously going to be technically superior and, pains me as it does to admit it, Vice City may be so old that it's beyond the realms of comparison for many players - but still, the original Vice City is set in the '80s, and GTA 6 is set in the modern day. Why use an '80s song to beckon us in?
The chorus is not complex. Petty is a gifted songwriter and has a history of exploring complex topics in relatable ways, but this is very surface level. Two desperate lovers who only needed each other, ripped apart by life and the struggles of love. It has seemed for a long time like GTA 6's two protagonists would be of the Bonnie & Clyde mould, and this song underlines that. Miss Lucia and Mister Jason, they rob banks.
The second verse describes sleepless nights, which I think would be a reach to try to apply to anything in GTA 6 specifically, and the third describes how hard it was to give up and let go of this love, which (like the chorus) could mean the pair growing apart, or could point to a betrayal by one lover to save themselves - the fact the song is all in past tense, about a former lover, hints at the same.
It's the change to the later renditions of the chorus that seem most striking - they discuss "one last chance", which might play into the themes a little more. In GTA 5, there are a variety of different motivations; Franklin is just trying to make it while Michael already has the American dream and gets pulled back in. Here, it seems we might be in for 'one last score', a theme that worked so well as we delved into the aftermath of its disaster in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Disappointingly, it's not the most lyrically ambitious song, and that doesn't give us a great deal to go off. However, the fact it's an '80s record playing over a city we all know from its '80s setting, the link might not be in what the song says, but simply in what it is. If Tommy Vercetti comes back in GTA 6, you heard it here first.
Bobby Boyd, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Jeff Hanna and Marcus Hummon co-wrote "Bless the Broken Road" in 1994. NGBD were the first to record the tune, that same year, for their Acoustic album; Hummon released his own version of the song on his 1995 album, All in Good Time. But "Bless the Broken Road" really became a hit when Rascal Flatts released it in 2004.
The Flatts' version comes from their album Feels Like Today and spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The song has been certified platinum and earned a Grammy Award for Best Country Song. Below, Hanna tells The Boot about writing the tune.
In 1994, when Matraca [Berg] and I got back from our honeymoon, Marcus and I got together to write. Marcus' wife, Becca Stevens, had actually married Matraca and me. We got to talking about the circuitous route you take in life and how sometimes you think things are horrible and are never going to get better, but they lead you to something that ultimately is a lot better, whether it's a relationship, spiritual path, business or whatever.
He sat down and said, "I've got this idea," and he sang me this piano intro, which is essentially what you heard on the Rascal Flatts record. He had a little outline going already, and we wrote most of it in a couple of hours.
Late winter of '94, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was doing the record called Acoustic in Colorado, and we recorded this simple, little song, and we have played it almost nightly since we recorded it.
Rascal Flatts toyed with recording it on their first album, and they put it on hold for their second album. It had over 150 holds, and it got to be a running gag with us. In 2004, Brooks & Dunn had it on hold, and they were about to cut it, and I found out Rascal Flatts finally cut it. Then we got a call that said, "Not only did we cut your song, but it's the next single!"
I've been involved in songs that were fun little ditties that went up the charts, but the permanent impact of this song has been amazing. The favorite songs that you write aren't always the ones that also become the highest profile, so it was a total thrill for us. It was great that it was a huge hit, and it was so great winning a Grammy, and we were so thrilled to be nominated in the all-genre Song of the Year, too, along with Bruce Springsteen, so we got really good seats at the Grammys! I'm super grateful.
Once engineers had spacing in mind, they welded metal bars together to make a template, heated up the asphalt in sections using massive blowtorches and pressed each template into the pavement. All told, it took about a day for workers to install the rumble strips into the highway and paint musical notes on the pavement. A few signs mark the musical stretch and instruct drivers to stay the speed limit if they want to hear the song.
