With bright and shiny guitar, soaring vocals and a trumpet melody line, the song branches into powerful streams of hope and support. Shea Rafferty’s new album promises to comfort your soul.
The song is about if a friend needed help at anytime, or something went wrong in someone’s life, then I’d be there for them no matter what. I mean, that’s how it should be for everyone. The opening line says ‘as the crow flies, there’ll be no time for me to be late’, meaning I’d drop everything to get there for that person as soon as possible. Family or friend. — Shea Rafferty
