About the Song
“Ghosts of The Highway” captures the spirit of Canada’s music legends, from Stompin’ Tom to Joni Mitchell, The Tragically Hip to Gordon Lightfoot, whose music echoed across the country’s vast landscapes. This song is a celebration of their journeys, the highways they traveled, and the indelible mark they’ve left on Canada’s musical heritage.
With upbeat verses and a darker, reflective bridge, this track weaves a narrative of the road, music, and memories. The bright melody mirrors the vast, open roads, while the lyrics dive deep into the history and legacy of Canadian musicians who made their way from town to town, spreading joy and inspiration.
The Journey Behind the Song
Growing up in Southern Ontario, I’ve always been fascinated by the rich history of Canadian music and the stories that are still told today. Whether it’s a frosty night on the Trans-Canada Highway or a stop in Thunder Bay, the song paints a picture of life on the road—where the music never stops, and the legends live on.
This song is both a personal homage to the artists who shaped my musical journey and a reflection of how their songs continue to resonate today. The highways may stretch far, but the stories they carry are never far behind.
