The Beat Generation's "Chosen Road" is a country song about coming together, reaching out to one another, and sharing a familiar spirit. The song was written by Lawrence White and Miklos Frirsz, and is a truly international collaboration of dozens of editors from across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, all working together on one track.
"Chosen Road" is really about the ability of music to cross boundaries. Despite the distance between the creators of that song, they could all work together online, proving that geography is no longer a barrier to collaborative creative projects. This global approach allows the song's emotional foundation to run deeper, and it becomes a place to gather rather than an organization of sounds.
The style is grounded in storytelling and honesty, which makes "Chosen Road" feel real. The various roots of these musicians lend the sound great depth. The succession of each part of the song feels purposeful, and it is, given that the song's lyrical message hinges on working together, moving in the same direction. Singing and producing by Lawrence White are the project's backbone, and the guitar/bass work of Miklos Frirz helps form its musical core.
A guest appearance from all over the world comes in the form of piano, drums, and backing vocals to deepen the song's sense of collaboration. "Chosen Road" is a reminder that music is about connections, and this song is to be heard not just in what different people did with their lives, but also in the journey we took together, individuals from a multiplicity of cultures and countries.
