"New Mexico Way" is a song about leaving your problems behind in search of a new beginning.
It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes good songs just come together in short order. This track ("New Mexico Way") from John Vento's "Brick By Brick" project is an example of such magic. John had a concept for an upbeat rock-n-roll tune, and of course the perfect guy to create such a thing is David Granati. David and John were on the same wave length from the jump on "New Mexico Way".
As Vento says, "David and I have created a ton of music together but we've never had something fall into place so quickly and organically. Everything David played just sounded and felt great, capturing the exact vibe that I wanted."
Once producer, multi-instrumentalist, David Granati laid done the initial tracks, Vento pulled out some cool lyric notes from collaborator Matt Wohlfarth.
"New Mexico Way" is a song about leaving your problems behind in search of a new beginning. In this song Vento sings about a specific destination (New Mexico, USA), where he searches for an old friend in hopes of finding peace and tranquility.. "Where God comes to play."
