For their latest single from talented young bluegrass singer/songwriter Mason Via, Mountain Fever Records has chosen Running With You, another from his self-titled project with the label.
It’s a story of young love, one that forms between two people before they even have themselves figured out.
Mason explains, showing just how well he understands life at such a tender age.
“Running With You tells the story of a travel-worn rambler who leaves the one he loves behind to chase a life of freedom on the open road. I co-wrote the song with Barton Davies, frontman of Boy Named Banjo, who, like me, is also a highway warrior.
But the road in this song is more than just any road, and the distance is more than just miles—it’s about the parallel paths lovers take when they have separate dreams. Sometimes leaving it all behind is what it takes to meet again, to intersect in the middle.
The line that always gets me is: ‘I gave it all I had, but the neon lights lost their shine, and darling without you this dream don’t mean a thing.’ It hits me every time.”
With Via on guitar and lead vocal, we hear Jason Davis on banjo, Aaron Ramsey on mandolin, Jim VanCleve on fiddle, Kyser George on guitar, and Jeff Partin on reso-guitar and bass. Brooks Forsyth and Nick Goad sing harmony.
Check it out.
Running With You is available from popular download and streaming services online, and to radio programmers via AirPlay Direct.
