I released “Super Highway” as a single in March 2023, and it became the second track on The Island – Part One because it feels like the album’s first real motion—like turning the key and actually leaving.

The song is about trying to reach someone when the real world won’t cooperate: the sky is grey, the line goes dead, and all I get is an answering machine. But instead of stopping, I imagine an escape route above it all—a “super highway” high over the clouds, the rain, and the falling leaves. It’s a kind of daydream with its own physics, where hope can move faster than circumstances.

The refrain is the anchor: the belief that something—wind, time, luck, love—will eventually carry me home. And the “speed of light in the corridor” is how it feels inside my head in those moments: racing forward at impossible speed, while still trapped in a narrow space, trying to arrive somewhere that might not even exist anymore.
