Backroad Voltage

Something is coming.

Three songs. One journey. A place most people are too afraid to talk about out loud.

The first one is about the ones who never really left. The blood that runs through you that runs through them. The faces you never met but carry everywhere you go. The ancestors who put survival in your bones before you ever had a name.

The second one is about the in-between. Not heaven. Not hell. The place where some of us get stuck and most people will never admit they have been there. If you know -- you already know exactly what this song is about.

The third one is for the ones with names. The specific ones. The people who were right here and then weren't. The friends who still show up in the strangest moments like they never actually went anywhere.

Three different worlds. Three different kinds of gone. Three different reasons why gone is not the same as lost.

Drop a 🕯️ in the comments if you already feel where this is going.

These drop soon. You are going to want notifications turned on for this one.

The crooked halo ain't shame -- it means you got close enough to something holy that it left a mark. What left a mark on you?

"They put bounties on my name
in fourteen different galaxies.
That is not a threat.
That is a resume.
What is the most untouchable
you have ever felt in your life? 👇"

"Southern Illinois was a tropical ocean
five hundred million years ago.
The limestone bluffs at Garden of the Gods
are ancient ocean floor.
The coal seams underground are
compressed prehistoric swamp.
The Big Muddy River runs over all of it
every single day.
What is the oldest thing you have ever
stood on top of and actually thought
about what it used to be?

"Charlie Birger was the last man
publicly hanged in Illinois in 1928.
He walked to the gallows laughing.
Said it was a beautiful world.
Williamson County had already buried
more men than most counties ever counted.
What real history from your state
did they never teach you in school?

"The Harpe Brothers were so violent
that Samuel Mason — himself a wanted
murderer and river pirate — kicked them
out of his own gang for being too brutal.
Little Harpe later cut off Mason's own head
to collect the bounty on him.
Then got recognized and hanged anyway.
What is the wildest real history
from your state that nobody talks about?

"Murphysboro 1973.
Real police reports. Real investigators.
Real plaster cast footprints.
The New York Times picked it up.
Loren Coleman came down personally.
The case is still open.
Have you ever seen something on a backroad
that you never told anyone about?
