New York, NY (Top40 Charts) When many artists struggle hard to gain recognition in their chosen desires, passion itself visited Terry Derosier when life had almost taken away everything from him. Starting his career in construction business, this ex-CEO had never had a dream to dive into the pool of music until his life gave him a severe blow and grounded him with a major accident. Suffering with a traumatic brain injury and crushed vertebrae, Terry had almost seen the end really close.
Difficult times makes way to many unexpected miracles. While his wife, Mary, took up all responsibility of his established business, music came to him like an angel healing his wounds. The angels introduced him to a new world of music and images. Thus, Terry had an easy recovery phase while he immersed himself completely into writing and creating movies. Being a native of Red River Valley of NorthWestern Minnesota, Terry uses his experience and knowledge from the beautiful nature and picturises them in his invariable compositions. No wonder his songs always smell the raw scent of homeland soil in its making.
The recently released single 'Thunderin' Down The Road', marks his debut track which amusingly portrays his acute observation and inspiration with the enchanting picturesques he designs in his lyrical section. Based on the light notes of country music, this track starts over a catchy prelude and glides the single gradually through the smooth edges of the lyrics. Light and ear-soothing instrumental backdrop gives an intense feel to this folk musical number which synchronizes well and appropriately with the theme of this single.
'A hundred miles behind me, Great Lakes in my Mirror,' imprints the best beginning for this travel centric themed song. Talking about mountains, lakes, valleys and riffs the lyrics does evoke the hidden desires of a travel enthusiast. The words are penned to form a perfect image in front of the listener which takes further inspiration from his own life experiences and memories while he traversed the roads of America. With a strong image dominating one's own imagination, the lyrical section does give a boast to this mesmerizing single.
While the song progresses over a quick pace from the very beginning, it gradually slows down and eventually stops by the time the track approaches its end. Playing over a single decent note, Terry voices the words with extreme care in his sharp soulful voice. 'Final mile before me, sunset close behind,' begins the final lines which ends with a message about a life after all the shallow darkness. The track not only showcases Terry's innovative skills in writing and creating perfect images but also inspires its listeners to wake up to the light that comes after every dark hour.
This single, 'Thunderin' Down The Road', is not just a track, its a journey of life and Terry Derosier implants all his hard and beautiful experiences to outline this song that has the strength to not only inspire and motivate many broken souls to start over again but also regain their courage and confidence to fight back in the light of their passion.
