As I’ve said before, my entire album ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ is a musical allegory for a journey through emotional darkness/suffering and coming out the other side of it. We all go through things in life, loss of a loved one, divorce, major life changes etc. ‘Racing Against the Sunset’ is one of those songs. The trauma has occurred and darkness is closing in and we cannot escape it no matter how hard we try to out run it. The only way out is through.
Musically I wanted it to be a galloping piece in B minor that modulates to C minor. I think my favorite part of the song is the key change about halfway through.
