Sunny Road

I love this song. My take on it has always been a bittersweet one. To me it’s a song about true love, about regret, and about death. The speaker writing the letter is on her death bed, her last thoughts are this letter to her lover, the last thing on her mind. It’s written to the one she let go in search of adventure, and greener grass. She’s lived an unconventional journey and shirked the traditional good life. It was full if hedonism and “sin” and so the conventional heaven is no longer an option. At the end, she decides she wants to be with this one person, despite having missed the opportunity throughout their lives. She makes a last ask, to meet her on the sunny road, she says tongue in cheek, as the road to hell, paved with her good intentions. I think it’s a beautiful and sad song. It’s saying, I’ve lived this life, and if I had to do it again, I’d choose to do it with you. But we can’t redo this life, so let’s meet in the afterlife instead.
