Story Behind The Song

Elliot says: "My wife and I love to incorporate conflicting moods within our songs. Country music has been doing that for years, and this song is no exception. Essentially, what we did was take a sad, gloomy character, and force him to tell his story over a danceable, horse-galloping beat."

Song Description

"Keep One Eye On the Sun" is a bouncy cowboy ballad about a man who lets his single-minded quest for his estranged father take him far from home, only to realize that he has been chasing a ghost that has taken him away from something he loves. The song features a classic country bounce, with a chord progression influenced by modern alt-country and harmonized guitars reminiscent of a spaghetti Western soundtrack.
