🎼 “Highwayman” – When the human soul never disappears
“I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride…”
One song, four people, four lives.
But in Highwayman , they all become immortal souls – wandering through time, space, history and death.
🌫️ A song of reincarnation, of never-ending faith
In each verse, we meet a wandering highway robber, a sailor drifting in the ocean, a bridge builder sacrificing his life for an unfinished project, and finally an astronaut flying into space… disappearing into the sky.
But they don’t “disappear”.
They come back in another life , in another form.
And they sing together as a declaration of life – that the human soul never really leaves.
🎙️ Each voice is a life
-
Willie Nelson – whispers like a storyteller sitting by the fire.
-
Kris Kristofferson – tough, pained like a soldier.
-
Waylon Jennings – heavy with land and destiny.
-
Johnny Cash – his voice was like from another world, giving listeners goosebumps.
They don’t just sing.
They become those characters . And each song is a trace that the soul leaves on the world.
💔 Highwayman isn’t about death – it’s about continuity.
“I’ll fly a starship across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side…”
They did not surrender.
They did not beg for life.
They simply continued – in a different form, in a different time, but with the same heart.
🌌 Why does this song live forever?
Because each of us has been a “highwayman” – gone through pain, loss, disappeared from a chapter of life… but still wished to return , somehow, to the person we love, to what we believe.
