🔊 The Lyrics & Vibe

(Intro - 8 bars: Heavy four-on-the-floor kickdrum. A rapid, syncopated banjo riff is layered on top, sounding slightly filtered and distorted. A simple, pulsing synth bassline enters.)

(Minimal beat continues. Vocal enters, slightly processed with reverb.)

Sunrise hit the peaks of Red Mountain Pass

Got my flannel shirt and my shades of tinted glass

Truck is dusty, sittin' on thirty-threes

Used to chase the flatlands, now I’m breathin’ mountain ease

City lights are dead to me, a mile wide and slow

Gave up the concrete for the high country glow

Got my Wranglers on and I’m ready for the heat

‘Cause the rhythm of the Rockies got that electronic beat.

(Synth pad swells rapidly, snare drum rolls quickly.)

I hear the sound of the air gettin’ thin and cold

A story that my grandpa never told!

Gonna feel the vibration down to my soul...

Gonna lose control!

(Heavy Drop! Kickdrum hits hard on every quarter note. A bright, sawtooth synth melody plays the main hook. The banjo riff is back, cutting through the mix.)

Yee-haw! That’s the Colorado Techno!

A thousand feet up, where the river's gonna flow

Kick the dust up, watch the stars go low

It’s the country girl heart with a high-pass stereo!

Oh, the bass drum’s high-altitude thunder!

Breakin' down the mountains and tearin' them asunder

Hands up, stompin', listen to the echo

Welcome to the peak, this is Colorado Techno!

(Beat returns to a driving, steady pulse.)

Traded in my tractor for a Kawasaki quad

Now I’m racin’ through the timber, lookin’ up at God

Pine scent on the wind, and a digital delay

Headphones on max, keep the worry far away

Found a little cabin 'neath the shadow of the peaks

Where the grizzlies roam, and the sub-bass squeaks

Got a fire outside, but the warmth is from the sound

The loudest little party on this holy ground!

(Synth pad swells rapidly, snare drum rolls quickly.)

I hear the sound of the air gettin’ thin and cold

A story that my grandpa never told!

Gonna feel the vibration down to my soul...

Gonna lose control!

(Heavy Drop! Kickdrum hits hard. Sawtooth synth melody. Banjo riff.)

Yee-haw! That’s the Colorado Techno!

A thousand feet up, where the river's gonna flow

Kick the dust up, watch the stars go low
