Daniel Blake - 'Freeway'
LA singer songwriter Daniel Blake shares delicate new single ‘Freeway’.
‘Freeway’ is a song for dreamers. To a softly melancholic backdrop of gentle finger picking and heart-warming folk melodies, Daniel Blake’s soothing vocals tell the story of two young lovers’ desperate wish to escape - “just imagine what’s not but could have been as the tail-lights fade away and we get on that Freeway out of this town.” The track’s free-roaming melodies and intricate lyricism leave a nostalgic aftertaste that, despite the song’s tragic progression, feel strangely liberating.
Easy going and wonderfully intimate, ‘Freeway’ is a beautiful addition to Daniel Blake’s stunning collection of music. Combining gentle soundscapes and unfiltered emotion, his disarming brand of sound invites to check-out for a while and take a little break from the daily chaos.
