On Down The Lane And Far Away, Colorado pop-punks Elway deliver a stark yet compelling reminder of the passing of time. Taking cues from the frantic ramblings of The Wonder Years and rose-tinted rootsy rockers like Springsteen, the song presents a desperate, hopeful plea, lyrically. Speaking of the release, Singer/guitarist Tim Browne advises, “Touch grass before we’re too far gone, kids.”
Musically, the song is a high-energy pop punk hit, broken only by an enormous power pop chorus with earnest and passionate vocals—the sort that sound like Browne is holding back tears in getting his message across. It sounds like a call to action, and I recommend you answer it.
