Artist picture
mikelewismusic consists of Mike Lewis, a singer-songwriter from San Diego, California, USA. Mike plays all original material on his Gibson Hummingbird.
Mike Lewis is a songwriter hailing from San Diego, CA. Mike is a veteran of the San Diego music scene and has embarked on a solo acoustic endeavor called mikelewismusic. Mike eschews production values. Mike eschews commercialism in music. Mike believes that music should be shared at the grass-roots level, which is why he likes the internet - the opportunities for the independent artist has never been better. Mike believes the heart of his music lies in the song itself. Mike's strong-suit is in the songs that he writes, and mikelewismusic's charter is to showcase Mike's songs. Armed with his trusty Gibson Hummingbird, Mike writes and plays all original material. Mike provides a slice of the human experience from his own viewpoint. Joy, exuberance, love, loss, sadness, and humor are all examined from a unique, heartfelt point of view as only Mike can deliver. A limited viewpoint? Perhaps. But maybe, just maybe, you might be able to see a little bit of yourself through the fuzzy lenses that clouds Mike's observations.

Story behind the song
A song about running from yourself, hoping to find yourself.
Lyrics
Took a sip of coffee as I drove down the road The weather was cold outside The caffeine I was counting on failed And I felt my mood starting to slide The offramp I was supposed to take Well I just let it pass on by Took a wrong turn and I just kept going And I don't even understand why Headin' North on the Interstate 5 Man I feel so free, and so alive You never guessed that a part of me just died If you see me smile, you know I lied It seemed like I was standing still As the pavement rolled under my tires The more I put that pedal to the metal The more I felt that fire But darkness seemed to overcome me As I aimlessly rambled through Running from something that I don't really know Don't know what I'm running to Headin' North on the Interstate 5 Man I feel so free, and so alive You never guessed that a part of me just died If you see me smile, you know I lied Looking for the sun to break out of the clouds Looking for a vision to see Looking for a sign on the side of the road Looking for a reason to be Never looking back at the road left behind Never looking at the road ahead I don't need a reason and I don't have a cause Just looking for a peaceful bed And when I think of what's out there My thoughts turn to shades of blue I felt a tear running down the side of my face But I keep on pushing through Headin' North on the Interstate 5 Man I feel so free, and so alive You never guessed that a part of me just died If you see me smile, you know I lied
