about
The first of two songs on the album penned by multi-instrumentalist Giacomo Fornasini, the high-energy, folk-and-bluegrass-influenced “Exit to the Right” puts an adventurous millennial spin on the act of escaping traditional and limiting societal roles to embrace a more exciting and creative destiny—even if the ultimate destination is not yet clear. Though the lyrics are cinematic, capturing the magic of depicted destinations like the Blue Ridge Mountains, the song is not simply about a journey for its own sake, but speaks to the liberating effects that traveling freestyle can have.
Giacomo’s lyrics reflect the Italian-American musician’s life experience traveling throughout the Western U.S. after he moved to San Francisco. It also expresses his rejection of the Silicon Valley dream job in favor of a return to nature. On a musical note, the song showcases Giacomo’s dynamic harmonica skills.
lyrics
The silence is broken by the sound of the alarm at ten past five
Roll out of bed, and to the car already packed for that long drive
Cause it’s two thousand miles to California - if I make it there alive
The end of something old and the start of something new when I arrive
Every marker passing by me, counting down the miles to my fresh start.
The fog clears, in front of me the sprawling city, catching me off guard.
In that vision of those buildings stretching, spreading, I sense a missing part.
My destination just ahead, but I can't shake this feeling in my heart.
Between me and the horizon, only red lights like a warning sign
In that moment I found clarity, though some would say I lost my mind
I took an exit to the right
Drove til mountains filled my sight
Mighty glaciers rose above the trees
I took a valley to the left
Climbed a peak that took my breath
Saw a view that brought me to my knees
And I felt a lightness carried on the breeze
Setting me free
Laying back down in the valley, basking in that sunset’s orange glow.
The silence fills with endless noises, birds and crickets putting on a show.
Grab the map and read the names by the moonlight shining off the snow.
So many places to see, in the morning I’ll go.
Finding all the places I only knew existed through a song.
The Blue Ridge Mountains, Colorado, Shenand’oh-I wanna see them all
I took a river to the right
Fished into the morning light
Jumped into a lake as clear can be
I took a coastline to the left
Watched the sun sink in the West
Stared out at the birds high above me.
And I saw clear skies come rolling from the sea
Setting me free.
